[Intro]

جيت تاني يا خصمي، وريني اللي عندك

Geet tani ya khasmy, warrini elli 'andak

I've come again, my opponent, show me what you've got

أنا بادي الراب، ولسه ما قفلتش سدك

Ana elli badi el rap, w lessa ma qafaltesh saddak

I'm the one who started rap, and I haven't closed your dam yet

[Verse 1]

بخش التراك، تشوفني تقول ده إعصار

Bakhesh el track, teshofni teqool dah i'sar

I enter the track, you see me and say, 'This is a hurricane'

كلامي رصاص، بيخرم أي جدار

Kalami rosas, byakhram ayy gedar

My words are bullets, piercing any wall

جايلكوا بالجديد، مش أي أفكار

Gayelko bel gedid, mesh ayy afkar

I'm coming to you with new things, not just any ideas

أنا اللي ببني، وانتوا مجرد أسوار

Ana elli babni, wento mogarrad aswar

I'm the one who builds, and you are just walls

قاعدين على الكراسي، بتشربوا في شاي

Qa'deen 'ala el karasi, beteshrabo fi shay

You're sitting on chairs, drinking tea

وأنا في الاستوديو، بعمل أكبر غناي

W ana fel studio, ba'mel akbar ghanay

And I'm in the studio, making the biggest song

صوتكوا بيروح، زي دخان الشيشة

Soutko beyrooh, zayy dokhan el shisha

Your voices fade away, like shisha smoke

كلامكوا فاضي، ملوش أي عيشة

Kalamko fady, maloush ayy 'eesha

Your words are empty, they have no life

بحط بيت، أسمعك لحن حزين

Bahett beat, asma'ak lahn hazin

I lay down a beat, you hear a sad melody

بس الرتم عالي، يخلي الخصم يلين

Bas el rhythm 'ali, yekhali el khasem yelin

But the rhythm is high, it makes the opponent soften

فاكر نفسك بطل؟ ده مجرد خيال

Faker nafsak batal? Dah mogarrad khayal

You think you're a hero? That's just imagination

أنا بكتب قصيدة، انتوا بتلعبوا عيال

Ana baktob qaseeda, ento betel'abo 'eyal

I write a poem, you're playing like children

مفيش مجال للمنافسة، ده كلام نهائي

Mafeesh magal lel monafasa, dah kalam neha'i

There's no room for competition, this is a final word

أنا القاضي هنا، وده الحكم القضائي

Ana el qadi hena, w dah el hokm el qada'i

I am the judge here, and this is the judicial ruling

[Hook]

أنا اللي بادي الراب، أنا اللي بادي الراب

Ana elli badi el rap, ana elli badi el rap

I'm the one who started rap, I'm the one who started rap

كلامي حراق، بيولع الأبواب

Kalami harraq, beywalla' el abwab

My words are hot, they set doors on fire

أنا اللي بادي الراب، مفيش أي انسحاب

Ana elli badi el rap, mafeesh ayy ensehab

I'm the one who started rap, there's no retreat

اسمي يتقال، كله يعمل حساب

Esmy yetqal, kollo ya'mel hesab

My name is mentioned, everyone takes notice

[Verse 2]

فين الأسامي اللي بتقول إنها جامدة؟

Feen el asami elli betqool ennaha gamda?

Where are the names that claim to be strong?

كله بيختفي، زي قشة في كومة

Kollo beykhtefi, zayy qashsha fi koma

Everyone disappears, like a straw in a haystack

بتجيبوا كلام من النت، عاملين فيها أبطال

Betgeebo kalam men el net, 'amleen feeha abtal

You bring words from the internet, acting like heroes

أنا بكتب تاريخي، وانتوا مجرد أطلال

Ana baktob tarikhi, wento mogarrad atlal

I write my history, and you are just ruins

لما بمشي في الشارع، كله يعمل احترام

Lamma bamshi fel share', kollo ya'mel ehteram

When I walk in the street, everyone shows respect

انتوا لما بتتكلموا، بنسمع بس كلام

Ento lamma betetkallemo, benesma' bas kalam

When you speak, we only hear talk

نفس الرتم البطيء، نفس الصوت الخفيف

Nafs el rhythm el bati', nafs el sout el khafif

The same slow rhythm, the same light voice

مش لاقي فيكوا موهبة، ده شغل عبيط وتخريف

Mesh laqi feeko mawheba, dah shoghl 'abit w takhrif

I don't find talent in you, this is silly and delusional work

أنا الجوكر بتاع اللعبة، بقلب الموازين

Ana el Joker beta' el le'ba, ba'leb el mawazin

I'm the Joker of the game, I'm tipping the scales

انتوا أوراق مكشوفة، وأنا خافي الورق التخين

Ento awraq makshoofa, w ana khafi el waraq el takheen

You are exposed cards, and I hide the thick cards

جاي أفركش المشهد، وأسيب علامة قوية

Gayy afarkesh el mashhad, w aseeb 'alama qawiyya

I'm coming to dismantle the scene, and leave a strong mark

أنا اللي بجيب الكاسات، وانتوا بتشربوا مياه

Ana elli bageeb el kasat, wento beteshrabo mayyah

I'm the one who brings the cups, and you drink water

فكك من الحركات، وفكك من الكلام

Fakkak men el harakat, w fakkak men el kalam

Forget the moves, and forget the talk

أنا الكابوس بتاعك، حقيقي مش أحلام

Ana el kaboos beta'ak, haqi'i mesh ahlam

I am your nightmare, real not dreams

[Hook]

أنا اللي بادي الراب، أنا اللي بادي الراب

Ana elli badi el rap, ana elli badi el rap

I'm the one who started rap, I'm the one who started rap

كلامي حراق، بيولع الأبواب

Kalami harraq, beywalla' el abwab

My words are hot, they set doors on fire

أنا اللي بادي الراب، مفيش أي انسحاب

Ana elli badi el rap, mafeesh ayy ensehab

I'm the one who started rap, there's no retreat

اسمي يتقال، كله يعمل حساب

Esmy yetqal, kollo ya'mel hesab

My name is mentioned, everyone takes notice

[Outro]

خلص الكلام، ومفيش بعديه تاني

Khelas el kalam, w mafeesh ba'deeh tani

The talk is over, and there's nothing after it

أنا بطل الراب، وده قراري، إيه تاني؟

Ana batal el rap, w dah qarari, eih tani?

I am the rap champion, and this is my decision, what else?

Lines explained

“أنا بادي الراب، ولسه ما قفلتش سدك”

Ana elli badi el rap, w lessa ma qafaltesh saddak

I'm the one who started rap, and I haven't closed your dam yet

The phrase 'closed your dam' (قفلتش سدك) implies that the speaker is so powerful and influential in rap that he can control or block his opponents' flow and success, like a dam holding back water.

“كلامكوا فاضي، ملوش أي عيشة”

Kalamko fady, maloush ayy 'eesha

Your words are empty, they have no life

The line 'Your words are empty, they have no life' (كلامكوا فاضي، ملوش أي عيشة) uses 'no life' (ملوش أي عيشة) to emphasize the utter insignificance and lack of impact of the opponents' lyrics, as if they are dead or never existed.

“أنا اللي بجيب الكاسات، وانتوا بتشربوا مياه”

Ana elli bageeb el kasat, wento beteshrabo mayyah

I'm the one who brings the cups, and you drink water

The contrast 'I'm the one who brings the cups, and you drink water' (أنا اللي بجيب الكاسات، وانتوا بتشربوا مياه) metaphorically means the speaker achieves victories and celebrations (cups, implying trophies or drinks of celebration), while his rivals are left with nothing but plain water, symbolizing their lack of success or importance.
