Verse 1
The city was rotting in traffic, I was rotting in my room
An honest sufferer met victims at his stop
I peeked through the peephole, the mailman was bringing us mail
In the block next door, a fat guy was heading to the McDrive
The girl I was in love with back then didn't know a thing
The friend I told, unfortunately, told her
A close friend of mine broke his arm that day, that son of a b*tch Marcinek
'Cause a few years later, when I went on break, he stole my girl
The neighbor in front of the building was almost finishing the "Jolka" crossword
A young thief was running from the cops, but got a side stitch as usual
A buddy's dad was saying goodbye to his salary at the casino again
Later he was scared to go home, 'cause even though she was ugly, she was also a beast
My sister invited her friends over, they drank with juice while playing Scrabble
On the tube they were giving out some award, probably to Dawid Podsiadło again
The dealer in my building was recounting every stack one more time
That's what life looked like that day, pick a letter from A to Z
Chorus 1
'N' for narcotics, 'L' for Lamborghini
'E' for energy drinks, 'B' for B-cup bras
'T' for tricks, tricks, 'F' for her panties, panties
'D' for drinks, drinks, 'P' for pack the stacks in bags
'N' for narcotics, 'L' for Lamborghini
'E' for energy drinks, 'B' for B-cup bras
'T' for tricks, tricks, 'F' for her panties, panties
'D' for drinks, drinks, 'P' for pack the stacks in bags
Postchorus 1
Like honey to the bee
Like rivers to the stream
Tears of joy, love or pain
Say your name over again
Verse 2
I was myself again, so I was lying in my bed
A Vietnamese guy in the bar next door was washing ginger-stained plates
I got up and screamed to God, how to multiply the cash
A moment on my feet and I wanted to lie down again
My father was seasoning a sandwich with salt and Dijon mustard
Grandpa was complaining that in old age they'll rip you off and f*cking humiliate you
Five million Chinese people just snapped a selfie with a stick
A dozen people mysteriously disappeared from the streets of Philadelphia
A homie on his way home stopped by Pizza Hut to grab a bite
A young Jew miscalculated again and passed out as soon as the bar mitzvah ended
A guy made himself the beginning of the end, getting hitched in a pinstripe suit like Al Capone
A buddy bought an M5 and wrapped it around a pole like a Calzone
The accountant was on her fifth coffee that day, calculating my balance
A Real fan was screaming at a Milan fan: 'You wh*re, f*ck Milan'
I'm not a kid and I'm not old, so I do whatever the f*ck I want
But someday I'll be a grandpa too, like my friend Wojtek, shout out to him
Chorus 2
'N' for narcotics, 'L' for Lamborghini
'E' for energy drinks, 'B' for B-cup bras
'T' for tricks, tricks, 'F' for her panties, panties
'D' for drinks, drinks, 'P' for pack the stacks in bags
'N' for narcotics, 'L' for Lamborghini
'E' for energy drinks, 'B' for B-cup bras
'T' for tricks, tricks, 'F' for her panties, panties
'D' for drinks, drinks, 'P' for pack the stacks in bags
Postchorus 2
Like honey to the bee
Like rivers to the stream
Tears of joy, love or pain
Say your name over again

skrableScrabble

Skrable is the Polish phonetic spelling of the popular board game "Scrabble". It's an interesting word because it directly references a globally recognized game, making it instantly relatable to an English speaker.

In the song, the line "Siostra zaprosiła koleżanki, piły pod sok i pod skrable" (My sister invited her friends, they drank with juice and with Scrabble) paints a vivid, everyday picture. It's a unique and memorable word to find in a rap song, offering a glimpse into casual Polish life and language.

Ever feel like life is just a random collection of moments happening all at once? That's the world PRO8L3M invites you into with "Skrable." The song is like looking through a window into a busy apartment building, where you see dozens of different stories unfolding at the same time. One person is dealing with a crush, another is gambling away their salary, and a drug dealer is counting his money. The artist paints a vivid picture of everyday urban life, capturing everything from the boring and mundane to the dramatic and illegal.

The title "Skrable" (Scrabble) is the key to understanding the song. Life is presented as a game where you're given random letters, or moments, and you have to make sense of them. The chorus lists different words for each letter, like:

  • N for narkotyki (drugs)
  • L for Lamborghini
  • D for drinki (drinks) It shows how life is a chaotic mix of desires, problems, and everyday objects, all existing side by side. It's a clever and gritty look at the beautiful mess of modern life.
