Hey, daddy, it's NEZS on the beat

Intro

If they wonder if we're like them

It's true

If they wonder if we're like them

Honestly, I've never been like anyone

It's true

I smoke my own joint

Simply put, I've always done my own thing, bro

Chorus 1

You should judge people by the choices they've made

While you judge people by where they live

You seem to have no idea about my hood

And I could start, but it's common to make money under the table

Verse 1

Don't you ever try to do me wrong

Even brighter lights have been put out for that

Wanted more than Louis Vuitton

Running around in Gore-Tex, late nights, no sleep

I said, 'Sure, this is trapping'

Already knew how it goes down

But there's an even bigger prize if I make it out

They wanna pay for more

That's proof, that we ain't like them

We live life for life, see life from a Rollie

Time is the trap, I still want a Rollie

Long before the city center became a waiting room

Had dreams of making it far

Chorus 2

If they wonder if we're like them

Honestly, I've never been like anyone

It's true

I smoke my own joint

Simply put, I've always done my own thing, bro

You should judge people by the choices they've made

While you judge people by where they live

You seem to have no idea about my hood

And I could start, but it's common to make money under the table

Verse 2

She said to me, 'What happens now?'

Told her, 'Sweetie, we're just friends now'

Enough talk, we're changing the subject now

She looked at me and said

'Who are you?' Who the f*ck are you?

Things change fast around here

Free my brother, the one you caught

Not good for the environment, man you're worse than plastic

The people out here, they're colder than ice

The cops wonder if we saw something, nobody said anything

That's one of the first things you learn here in the slums

We're not like you, you're not like us

When we step in, you know there's gonna be trouble

Chorus 3

If they wonder if we're like them

Honestly, I've never been like anyone

It's true

I smoke my own joint

Simply put, I've always done my own thing, bro

You should judge people by the choices they've made

While you judge people by where they live

You seem to have no idea about my hood

And I could start, but it's common to make money under the table

Outro

If they wonder if we're like them

Honestly, I've never been like anyone

It's true

I smoke my own joint

Simply put, I've always done my own thing, bro

You should judge people by the choices they've made

While you judge people by where they live

You seem to have no idea about my hood

And I could start, but it's common to make money under the table

If they wonder if we're like them

slummen — the slum / the slums

Slummen translates to "the slum" or "the slums". It's a powerful and evocative word that immediately paints a picture of a specific, often challenging, environment.

In this song, Sarettii uses slummen to refer to the harsh realities and unwritten rules of the neighborhood where he grew up. He sings, "Det bland det första som man lär sig här i slummen" (It's among the first things you learn here in the slums), highlighting the street wisdom and survival skills acquired in such an area. This word is central to understanding the song's themes of identity, struggle, and resilience.

Ever felt like people judge you without knowing your story? That's the powerful message at the heart of Sarettii's track, "Som Dom," which translates to "Like Them."

Sarettii pushes back against stereotypes, declaring his own unique identity. He challenges listeners with a thought-provoking idea:

"You should judge people on the choices they've made While you judge people on where they live"

He paints a picture of a life misunderstood by outsiders, a world of late-night hustles and a strict code of silence. The song is a bold statement about individuality, the struggle to rise above your circumstances, and staying true to yourself when everyone tries to put you in a box.
