Κατάλαβες;

This is my reality, I'm about to get into it
I was raised a proud Greek, but never put that in my music
I was always so embarrassed even though I could speak fluent (nah)
Think I got it lost between the Polish and St. Lucian
I ain't ever flipped a bird, I ain't ever been to prison
But I looked for validation from these man up in the system
Maybe 'cause I thought I needed them to make a living
But I realised that my truth is what the culture is really missing

So I put the cross back on my chest
Say my prayers before I rest
Call my nieces to remind me of the reason I invest
Wish I had more time but I'm on house arrest to my success
But in the summers we connect
'Cause some things are way bigger than just chasing cheques

So I'm heading home, I'm heading to my city
'Cause the only σπίτι that I've ever had is Saloniki
So I'm heading home, I'm heading to my city
'Cause the only σπίτι that I've ever had is Saloniki

Και γι' αυτό έχω τρόπο να ζω
Θεσσαλονίκη η καρδιά μου είναι εδώ
Η καρδιά μου έμεινε εδώ
Η καρδιά μου έμεινε εδώ

Και γι' αυτό έχω τρόπο να ζω
Θεσσαλονίκη η καρδιά μου είναι εδώ
Η καρδιά μου έμεινε εδώ
Η καρδιά μου έμεινε εδώ

Ο μπαμπάς μου είναι Έλληνας, με έδειξε τα πάντα
But the reason I do hip-hop have to give that to my mother
Στην Ελλάδα όλοι βλέπουν την ζωή σου σαν Big Brother
Yeah it's all love but we all judging one another

I remember when I mentioned that I wanna rap
I think they thought it was a phase and not me really stating facts
But when they see me travel 'round the world off of that
They say, "Make sure you put your city on the map"

So I'm grateful for the women who forever change my life
That's my mum, my closest friend, and the girl I'm tryna wife
They reminded me that being me will always be alright
I guess the only thing that's left for me to do is reunite

So I'm heading home, I'm heading to my city
'Cause the only σπίτι that I've ever had is Saloniki
So I'm heading home, I'm heading to my city
'Cause the only σπίτι that I've ever had is Saloniki

Και γι' αυτό έχω τρόπο να ζω
Θεσσαλονίκη η καρδιά μου είναι εδώ
Η καρδιά μου έμεινε εδώ
Η καρδιά μου έμεινε εδώ

Και γι' αυτό έχω τρόπο να ζω
Θεσσαλονίκη η καρδιά μου είναι εδώ
Η καρδιά μου έμεινε εδώ
Η καρδιά μου έμεινε εδώ
