Heroj

Ritam Nereda · Other Songs - Ritam Nereda

U svom kvartu ti si heroj
i tvoja ulica tvoj je dom
i niko nepozvan ne sme da udje
u tvoje misli, u tvoj san

Al' jedna misao kruzi ti stalno
kako da osvojis ceo grad
kako da pobedis najjaceg'
kako da budes zakon ulice

Ref.
Jer ti, jer ti si taj
kog' se plasi ceo kvart
kog' se plasi ceo grad, da, da

Jer ti, jer ti si taj
kog' se plasi ceo kvart
kog' se plasi ceo grad, da, da
ti si taj, jer ti si heroj

Pre si bio niko i nista
i smejao ti se ko je hteo
sada beze sa tvog puta
to je mnogo bolje nego da se smeju

Al' tvoja volja, tvoja slava
proci nikad ne sme
tvoja dusa ne trazi spasenje
tvoja dusa ne trazi mir

Ref.
