Zelena trava doma mog

Moj rodni grad je tamo dole
a tamo dole svi me vole
a ispred vrata cekaju mama i tata
ispred kuce ruke siri Meri
ja joj kazem 'ajd ne seri
ja idem da vidim
zelenu travu doma mog

Evo me, stizem iz daleka
gde trava nije bas i neka
kraj rodne reke ima lepe trave meke
mene ceka cela familija
'ocu da ih vidim i ja
al' sad mi je preca
zelena trava doma mog

Jebi ga, onda sam se probudio
i sam sam se sebi cudio
i zamalo da da me strefi slog
video sam, cetiri zida me okruzuju
i shvatio da me optuzuju
sto sam tajio da sam gajio
zelenu travu doma mog

'Oce da mi rikne moja cuka
'oce da me strefi slog
sto ne mogu da vidim
zelenu travu doma mog
