Verse 1
Marysia was a little shocked
Completely proud
Quite healthy, long-term and not stupid
She went to a pizzeria to eat, to calm her nerves somewhere
In the downtown area
The northern part
She was texting him
She thought she felt a bit like
That time when she first
Handed in a paper downloaded from the internet at the university for grading
But now the level of excitement was greater
Today she cheated on Rysiek for the first time
She felt better
And she felt she deserved better
Ryszard, a taxi driver not affiliated with any corporation
And Marysia, they met three years ago during the holidays
Today, besides the 'cuckolding' action
This psychology graduate is doing
One more very important thing
Defending her master's thesis
From double the nerves, she's now eating
A double pepperoni
Verse 2
Although she usually watches her figure
Now it's
Now it's about him
Rysio
The resemblance to "Klan" is purely coincidental
He's driving a woman right now
On the fourth fare
With a slight scam
Because he should normally
Go, because she stinks of a vegetable stand
He looks over his shoulder
To see if she's not leaving dirt on the couch
Verse 3
Janina, because that's the woman's name
Is meanwhile thinking about this suspicious jerk driving the car
She'll never hail a taxi on the street again
She rarely takes them
She sits in the neighborhood green grocer's
All day, where her son-in-law put her
But today he left and the hooligans with a knife came again
Janina can't take it anymore
And although her son-in-law said, for God's sake
Not to report it, because it could get worse
But she
Padlock on the drum
Cash in an envelope
Halted the car in a rush
And is now speeding in a clunker to the police station
Chorus 1
Everyone is above everyone else
Treating others as if they were nothing
Everyone's the smartest
They probably think they're the chosen ones
Everyone here, unfortunately
I'm at a loss for words for such an attitude
Verse 4
Some time earlier, from a village near Lublin
He left for the capital to seek better days
Grzegorz
He knew one guy at the pizza place
From his own county
Who had been working there since '99
His name is Karol
He works a bit with the pies
Grzegorz decided he'd also try his hand at gastronomy
He got off at the East station
Happy that he didn't pay the sucker for the ticket
That he sat in the train toilet for a long way
He was taking a sh*t, his legs were a bit numb
But he was glad he had some Polish zlotys left
Please
A little lost, he asked people for the street name
Verse 5
Then, saluto
A patrol of the capital's police
Grzesiu explains that he wants to go to Karol's pizza place
His face looked like absolutely nobody
However, he was dressed in brown and purple
He was supposed to have a sweater on top
And track pants on the bottom
He fit the description of someone a hundred percent, by mistake
He was swearing, apologizing, rambling
Verse 6
Some time later, Mrs. Janina closes the door of Rysio's taxi
And curses him as a thief in her thoughts
The 'Police' sign
She enters, gives her statement
Routine line-ups are usually on
They take whoever is at hand
And although several young guys stand there
Without a shadow of a doubt
The one with the purple pants
In the brown sweater
A shock for Grzesio
The cop strokes his mustache
He despises him and her
'But I just arrived'
Grześ explains for a moment, but he cheaped out on the ticket
And sat through his alibi in one of the toilets
That's it
Chorus 2
Everyone is above everyone else
Treating others as if they were nothing
Everyone's the smartest
They probably think they're the chosen ones
Everyone here, unfortunately
I'm at a loss for words for such an attitude
Verse 7
Karol, twenty years old
In the heart of the city center
Suspecting nothing
Made a few pizzas
He didn't even know Grześ was coming to see him
As usual, extras came to eat
And somewhere
Around two in the afternoon
Eureka
A cool idea was thrown out by a friend
To put some acid in the pepperoni
For someone unsuspecting
Bridge
Who is who?
The solution to the mystery, listen
Having cut this pizza into pieces
That Marysia of Rysio from the Taxi ate it
As you can already guess
The exam she has to write
Might not work out
Verse 8
While consuming, she thought the employees were glancing at her
Because she's the most beautiful lady in the area
I myself, as the narrator
Regret that the staff, led by Karol
Knew nothing, that in a moment
She was to defend her master's thesis
They would have been so happy
The first phase, however, the would-be psychologist experienced
Drops of sweat shone beautifully on her forehead
It was a blast
For Karol and the crew
For her, for now, it was also colorful
Believe my words
Marysia was properly shocked
She got to the heart of the matter
She decided
To state it at the university
Sunday victims and Sunday perpetrators
Interlude
Everyone is above everyone else
Everyone's the smartest
Old Janina in a rocking chair at home remembers Grzesio
And wonders why she did it
Without certainty
Verse 9
But she pointed her finger
Today she was on top
In an unequal fight
For her, all young, bald guys are the same scum
She thinks so seriously
Around the same time, outside the pizzeria
Leaving after work, Karol was laughing at the prank he pulled
And suddenly, though he hadn't seen Grzesio in a thousand years
And his mask fell, I could swear
He remembered his home village
A few winters ago
And he stood there for a moment with a grim face
How it was
A beer pub in the evening
Local girls, Karol and Grzesiu
And a prank
Something similar to today's
Grzegorz pissed in the beer
And Karol unknowingly took a sip
A prank, for f*ck's sake
One, two, back to reality
A stop outside the pizzeria
Karol, a few guys, laughter
And masked pain in the background
Outro 1
Meanwhile, Ryszard the taxi driver is eating a zapiekanka from a stand
A Neoplan bus stopped at the bus stop next to him
Two female tourists got off
Quite young
Rysiu turned his head and checked them out
Each has good legs, the chest is not bad either, and killer faces
Outro 2
He'd take them both hard
Devouring the last bite
He looked at a guy who was wearing a 'Prosto' sweatshirt
And was just getting into a taxi
Where to?
Asked Rychu
And on that, we'll end
Did you like this lyrics translation?
wałkiem — with a rolling pin / with a scam
Wałkiem is the instrumental case of wałek, which literally means 'rolling pin'. However, in Polish slang, wałek also commonly refers to a 'scam', 'swindle', or 'trick'.
In the song, the taxi driver Rysio is described as driving "z delikatnym wałkiem" (with a delicate wałek). This implies he's engaging in a small, subtle scam with the fare, rather than literally carrying a rolling pin. This double meaning makes it a clever and intriguing word for learners.
Welcome to a masterclass in storytelling from Polish hip-hop producers White House Records! The title "Każdy Ponad Każdym" translates to "Everyone Above Everyone," and this song is a perfect illustration of that idea. It weaves together the seemingly separate lives of several characters over a single day, showing how one small, selfish act can create a ripple effect with chaotic and unexpected consequences for everyone involved. It’s a story about how people often act superior, judging others and thinking only of themselves, without realizing how interconnected we all are.
Get ready to follow a wild chain of events! We meet:
- Marysia, who has just cheated on her boyfriend and feels she deserves better.
- Ryszard, her taxi driver boyfriend, who is busy overcharging an elderly customer.
- Janina, the elderly woman, who then wrongly identifies an innocent man to the police out of prejudice.
- Grzegorz, the innocent man, who just arrived in the city after dodging a train fare.
- Karol, Grzegorz’s old friend, who decides to play a prank by putting acid on a pizza.
Each character acts with a sense of being "above" the rules or other people, leading to a hilarious and karmic mess. The song is a brilliant look at how our actions, big or small, can come back around in the most unexpected ways.
