Top5 Lyrics (English Translation) – Pezet

Top5 (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Pezet starts by saying he values real talent over social media hype. He’s not impressed by flashy posts and would rather see actual skill. He jokes that he’ll be more respectful when people prove their intelligence. He acknowledges having style and expensive sneakers but rejects superficial online culture. He’s not interested in fake or shallow interactions. He hints at different priorities, saying he and the listener don’t share the same values or favorites in life. Lastly, he dismisses people who fake their appearance just for social media attention.

[Verse 2]
BSK talks about his laid-back approach to life, suggesting that true art shouldn’t be rushed. He wakes up late and no longer seeks approval from others, realizing it’s pointless. He believes trying and failing is better than doing nothing at all. He feels like time is slipping away, always chasing something but never catching up. He’s lost, both in life and relationships, unsure if he’s in Poznań or dealing with a breakup. He struggles to maintain class and composure, admitting that even his favorite rapper doesn’t always live up to high expectations.

[Chorus]
The chorus criticizes mainstream “top 5” lists, implying that popular choices are temporary and weak. Pezet questions how long these so-called greats can last before falling apart. He uses the metaphor of small drops hollowing out skyscrapers, meaning consistent effort can break down even the biggest names. He’s confident in his own ability to build something meaningful from the ruins of trends that fade away. It’s a statement of resilience, suggesting that true artistry and persistence will outlast fleeting popularity.

[Verse 3]
BSK and Pezet call out fake people, starting with someone who smiles but isn’t honest. They see many artists as followers (sheep), while they align with true greatness (the goat). They mock unoriginal projects focused on money and borrowed fashion. Some say it’s disrespectful to criticize older rappers, but they find them dull and prefer fresh, new voices. Pezet admits he’s no longer obsessed with legends like Wu-Tang and rejects the modern gangster image some rappers try to push. He has mixed feelings about the world—he enjoys parts of it but is disgusted by the constant repetition of the same ideas. Despite staying true to his own vibe, music has become routine for him. He values peace and quiet more than the mainstream’s so-called “top 5” artists. He sees their music as just another passing trend, while he and his crew are real and not some fake “boy band.” In the end, he calls out inauthenticity, making it clear that he sees right through the act.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the idea that mainstream favorites are temporary and fragile. Pezet wonders how long these artists can last before they collapse under pressure. Again, he emphasizes that even the biggest names can be eroded over time, just like water slowly wears down skyscrapers. He’s confident in his ability to create something lasting from the downfall of trends, reinforcing his belief that true artistry and dedication will always win over hype.
