Warm Up
Nucci Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Znam da vas nervira sve što kuhinja mi servira
Ali lova nikada put ne bira, gledam iz drugog svemira
Glava moja uvek puna nemira, život kô režija od Emira
Puna nemira, epidemija, možda ipak režija od Stenlija
Kad ti pričaš mod je sleep, to nikako nije trip
O igri pišem roman, zato pesme biće strip
Da jednom kad mi ime pišu, pišu ga uz shift
Bili mali, stari kô Reebok, snovi mi u glavi na ziplock
Standard visok mi kô TikTok, a na pola nisam ni stigo
Rigo kô flamingo, a vezujem igru kô Figo
Šta ti nije jasno, koji deo?
Oduvek sam znao šta sam hteo
Radim s polusvetom da bih obišao ceo
Bit, ko bit, iz nehata ubio bit
Popa nisam Goca, ali matra ti je R.I.P
The song "Warm Up" by Nucci is a reflection of the rapper's life and struggles. The opening line "Je l' ovo Popov?" is a reference to a popular Serbian food brand, implying that Nucci is offering something different from the usual. He then addresses the criticism he receives for his music and lifestyle, yet reminds us that money doesn't discriminate. He views life from a different perspective, perhaps a spiritual one, which compels him to continue to create in spite of the criticism. The line "život kô režija od Emira" refers to Emir Kusturica, a prominent film director in Serbia, and suggests that life is a movie that he is directing. The line "možda ipak režija od Stenlija" references Stanley Kubrick, an iconic film director who is considered one of the greatest of all time, and implies that Nucci aspires to that level of artistry.
Nucci reminisces on his struggles and the sacrifices he made to get where he is today. He mentions walking for years before he could afford to use an elevator and how he wants his name to be written with respect when mentioned, hence "pišu ga uz shift." He also alludes to the fact that he is not yet where he wants to be, "a na pola nisam ni stigo," but he remains determined. The line "Rigo kô flamingo, a vezujem igru kô Figo" is a clever wordplay on the Spanish footballer Figo and the color scheme of Rigips plasterboards, implying that Nucci is unique in his approach to success. The final lines of the song "Popa nisam Goca, ali matra ti je R.I.P" pay homage to late Serbian rapper Goca Trzan, suggesting that although he is not like her, he still respects her work and legacy.
