Baśka Lyrics – Gruby Mielzky

Baśka Lyrics Meaning

[Zwrotka 1]
Here, the rapper talks about his mother, Baśka, who lived a simple life but went through a lot without ever complaining. She doesn’t know fancy things like planes but has carried heavy burdens. She never asked for help and gave everything to her family on her own. The rapper then reflects on his own life, realizing he’s made mistakes and lived recklessly, almost like he’s been “on credit” or “on a b0mb” his whole life. He admits he’s done dangerous things and feels lucky to still be alive. Even though he doesn’t fully believe in God, he still prays sincerely for his loved ones and those who’ve passed away. He sees his mother’s tired hands and eyes filled with fatigue, realizing how much she’s sacrificed. He wants to learn her humility and strength, hoping to feel something real before his time comes. It’s a touching mix of guilt, love, and deep respect for his mother, showing how he’s grown to appreciate what truly matters after years of chasing the wrong things.

[Refren]
In this part, the rapper admits he has spent too much of his life focusing on things that don’t really matter. It’s a moment of regret and self-awareness. He realizes how much time was wasted on distractions and meaningless pursuits instead of love, family, and real emotions that give life true value.

[Zwrotka 2]
This verse goes back to the rapper’s memories and emotions connected to Baśka. He talks about how she doesn’t know modern life terms like “check-in,” yet she carries the weight of her life with quiet strength. While he once spent his days playing and dreaming of success, she worked hard and held the family together. He promises to fix the chaos in his life and never call his mother “old,” showing newfound respect and love. He recalls how he always had friends around but now feels lonely despite being far from home and successful. He misses simple, ordinary moments—taking a bus with her, throwing coal into the basement, or watching dust settle in the sunlight. These memories make him realize that happiness isn’t in fame or money but in those little pieces of everyday life. By the end, he admits that everything feels worthless if you spend your whole life avoiding what truly matters—starting, loving, and living sincerely.

[Refren]
Once again, he reflects on how much time he’s lost chasing unimportant things. The repetition shows deep regret and the weight of realization. He’s finally aware that true peace comes from valuing people, moments, and memories—not from chasing meaningless goals.
