Paroles et traduction Trepac - Manden I Baggrunden

Manden I Baggrunden

De med på scenen, gør sin' ting foran hele banden
Men de står i skyggen af MC'en ud' på scenekanten
Det, manden i midten, hovednavnet, nærmest enemanden
Men bag står back-up, John Doe, Mc et eller andet
En anonym stillemand med en mikrofon
En der kan hvert et vers, helt ned til perfektion
Og elegant gør sit job op' på scenen og hjælper
Linjerne i land, når, MC'en går, kold for oxygen
Han er, redningsnettet, når, teksten er smuttet
Det, ekstra krydderi, han er smækket på hugget
Han er punchet i punch-lines
Ik' en undersåt, men blot en sand kammerat
Der' klar på a' bac' sin homie op
Uforståeligt nok en usungen helt
Beskeden sidekick der meget sjældent roser sig selv
Det li' som, når harddisken den går ned på din laptop
Du helt fuck't hvis du ik' har en backup

Jeg ved godt, det' ik' er så let, men
Gi' den op for manden i baggrunden
Selvom alle job'sne ik' ligger så tæt, så
Gi' den op for manden i baggrunden
Mellem hvert et track, sir' han ikke et kvæk, men
Gi' den op for, manden i baggrunden
Mens i digger the shit, så gi lidt respekt, kom
Gi' den op for manden i baggrunden

En masse mennesker syn's almen
At back-up rappers, de blot er assistenter
Der er fjollet overflødigt fyld på scenen
Og selvom de ikke lige kan tryllebinde publikum
Er det en smule dumt at tro de' med på scenen uden grund
Men bare fortæl mig, hvis nogn' har hørt om en rapper
Der' i stand til at dubbe sig selv, live
Ja uanset hva' de tror så' respekt blot en aunødig bitch
Og tak er kun et fattigt ord
Forstår de det ik? (Mere lyd på 2'eren!)
Back-up rapperen han får altid den dårlig'ste mic
Det ik' legende let det kræver ordn'li' teknik
Og en timing der' tæt for at ligge tight i et sæt
Så gi' den
Op for, manden i baggrunden næste gang
Blæs på ham i front, og tjek for ham som ingen glænser
Ham der gør showet værd at se
For han fortjener den her sang
Ogs' fordi jeg selv er back-up rapper a' og til.

Jeg ved godt, det' ik' er så let, men
Gi' den op for manden i baggrunden
Selvom alle job'sne ik' ligger så tæt, så
Gi' den op for manden i baggrunden
Mellem hvert et track, sir' han ikke et kvæk, men
Gi' den op for, manden i baggrunden
Mens i digger the shit, så gi lidt respekt, kom
Gi' den op for manden i baggrunden

The Man in the Background

Those on stage, doing their thing in front of the whole gang
But they stand in the shadow of the MC out on the edge of the stage
It's the man in the middle, the main name, almost the only man
But in the back stands back-up, John Doe, Mc one or another
An anonymous silent man with a microphone
One who knows every verse, down to perfection
And elegantly does his job on stage and helps
The lines in place, when the MC goes, cold for oxygen
He is the safety net when the lyrics are gone
The extra spice, he's slammed on the beat
He's the punch in the punch-lines
Not a minion, but a true comrade
Ready to back his homie up
Incomprehensibly, an unsung hero
Modest sidekick who rarely praises himself
It's like when your hard drive crashes on your laptop
You're completely fucked if you don't have a backup

I know it's not that easy, but
Give it up for the man in the background
Even if all the jobs are not that close, so
Give it up for the man in the background
Between each track, he doesn't say a peep, but
Give it up for the man in the background
While you're digging the shit, give some respect, come on
Give it up for the man in the background

A lot of people think in general
That back-up rappers are just assistants
That there's silly, superfluous stuffing on stage
And even if they can't quite enthrall the audience
It's a bit silly to think they're on stage for no reason
But just tell me, if anyone has heard of a rapper
Who's able to dub himself, live
Yeah, no matter what they think, respect is just an unnecessary bitch
And thanks is just a poor word
Don't they get it? (More sound on the 2nd!)
The back-up rapper always gets the worst mic
It's not playfully easy, it requires proper technique
And a timing that's close to being tight in a set
So give it
Up for the man in the background next time
Blow on him in the front, and check for him like no one shines
The one who makes the show worth watching
Because he deserves this song
Also because I'm a back-up rapper myself, from time to time.

I know it's not that easy, but
Give it up for the man in the background
Even if all the jobs are not that close, so
Give it up for the man in the background
Between each track, he doesn't say a peep, but
Give it up for the man in the background
While you're digging the shit, give some respect, come on
Give it up for the man in the background
