ĆWIERĆWIEKU Lyrics – Mata, Oki

ĆWIERĆWIEKU Lyrics Meaning

[Zwrotka 1: Mata]
Here Mata talks about living through twenty-five years of life and not wanting anyone to tell him how to behave. He stresses that if he followed the system’s rules, he would have less money, less style, and wouldn’t be where he is now. He shows pride in getting what he wants, but also throws shade at fake friends and people who only act supportive for their own benefit. He calls out shallow relationships, where some women only care about what they can get, and makes it clear that material things like fancy cars are not the real goal. He questions whether a happy ending in life is really enough or even realistic, suggesting he’s after something deeper. He reflects that health and genuine feelings are more important than wealth or fake love, asking God for strength to stay grounded as he ages. Mata also reminds us that many rappers have climbed to the top, but just as quickly lost everything when things got tough. He brings up artists and producers around him, showing respect for those who keep the quality high even if the wider rap scene doesn’t always appreciate them. It’s a mix of pride, gratitude, and frustration with superficiality.

[Zwrotka 2: Oki]
Oki picks up the energy, showing his own side of living through the same quarter of a century. He talks about how fast he can grab everything he wants, with his crew around him, girls on the side, and even violence on the streets being part of the backdrop. He admits that rap feels endless for him, though he keeps the door open that life could change, just like with dark thoughts about jumping from a roof. There are hints of struggles in his circle, like a brother with legal trouble, and a past love that’s no longer there. Oki embraces his Gen Z identity, owning the mix of chaos, punk rock energy, and rap culture. He mentions growing up from a kid into someone successful, even though people still try to shape his image or control how he looks. He drops names like Quebo, showing his link to older generations of rappers, but also claims he’s not just a typical rapper, because he sees the genre as limiting. For him, people have been hanging on his every move for twenty-five years, almost like they’re clinging to him, while he feels the weight of being their rope.

[Outro: Mata & Oki]
The outro sums up their drive with raw confidence. They demand everything life can offer, not just survival but the best of the best. The repeated frustration of living through twenty-five years adds intensity, while the line “who was there knows” shows that only those who lived it can truly understand.
