Gilli：Meaning of Lak Jeg Ik Kriminel Songmeaning

The song "Lak Jeg Ik Kriminel" by Gilli is a Danish rap song that features Jamaika and Stepz. The lyrics of the song tell a story about Gilli's lifestyle and his perception of others' opinions about him. The title of the song translates to "Look, I'm Not a Criminal" in English. Throughout the song, Gilli addresses various topics, including his reputation and interactions with others. In the beginning, Gilli sings about someone calling him and questioning why he hasn't replied or spoken to them. He expresses his disinterest in being with that person and emphasizes his desire to be alone. Jamaika's verse touches on the notion that people ask him if he is like Pablo or El Chapo, referring to the infamous drug lords. He assures the person to relax and mentions that he is still with Stepzito and Molo, presumably his associates or friends. Gilli then responds to being asked if he is like Pablo or El Chapo. He states that the girl believes he is El Chapo, but he doesn't want to be associated with her. He mentions that others ride on different paths, while he focuses on his own journey. The reference to "daddies" (dadler) in the lyrics is unclear but may refer to illicit activities or a metaphor for something else. Gilli continues by telling someone not to talk to him if they don't know him. He dismisses their opinions and states that if they don't know him, they can "fuck off out the door." He also expresses his disdain for a person's cousin and their friends, emphasizing that he doesn't know them and doesn't care about them. Jamaika and Gilli then repeat the lyric "Lak, jeg ikk' kriminel" (Look, I'm not a criminal) several times, indicating their frustration with being labeled as criminals. Finally, Stepz's verse adds some context to the song. He mentions that drama starts, and he tries to buy a new house for his mother. This verse represents Stepz's perspective and may contribute to the overall theme of perseverance and overcoming judgment. The song's main message seems to be Gilli's desire to separate himself from negative associations and judgments. He asserts that he is not a criminal and wants to focus on his own path and success.
