[Text of the song “Greetings from the bottom” ft. dom!No]
[Intro: dom!No]
I'm like a parody of Melting April
So that you stumble over me from the first words
In the left chest, painted door
A drawn blow, knocked him out of his shackles
And he kidnapped you all perfectly
Robbery of the soul - throw everything in the bag
I'll leave now, let all the stolen ones lie down
To all the thieves, keep quiet, you are no longer here
[Chorus: dom!No]
Let's go back to our home, home, home
Like a shot in my face
I'll kill someone again (ha ha)
It's so easy-oh oh-oh
[Chorus: dom!No]
And if you hear, let's go back to our house
Let's go back to our home, home, home
Or be silent again - a control shot in the face
Like a shot in my face
And, as always, in my verses someone will die
I'll kill someone again (ha ha)
It's so easy-oh oh-oh
[Verse 2: dom!No]
I think rap hid me from problems
Filled the gap in my head that life is not an escape
Behind the brand. Get out of my apartment, I'm poor
Plus a liter of cognac will replace my lunch again
But where are you that taught you to dance for Christmas?
And our eternally hungry table, and your wardrobe was melting
They ran away from all their jobs, you were fucked to death
I saw it all, but we need to pay for the house
So I endured the realities of the world
We stole clothes (wow) and you're damn handsome, my crime
Turn your cameras on, quick!
Two characters from the film, we'll be silent - fucking applaud...
[Chorus: dom!No]
And if you hear, let's go back to our house
Let's go back to our home, home, home
Or be silent again - a control shot in the face
Like a shot in my face
[Chorus: dom!No]
And if you hear, let's go back to our house
Let's go back to our home, home, home
Or be silent again - a control shot in the face
Like a shot in my face
And, as always, in my verses someone will die
I'll kill someone again (ha ha)
It's so easy-oh oh-oh
[Outro: dom!No]
And we could stay alive
But it's boring being alive here
And if you want war again
Give me a hint - we'll do it all again
And if not, then laugh in your face
We will still return to our home
Home, home, home...

In this article we will analyze complex words and expressions in the text songs by Oxxxymiron ft. dom!No - hello from the bottom.
Let's consider only the Oxy desk.
Hello from the bottom, you are somewhere where there is light and electrofunk,
The phrase “Greetings from the bottom” conveys to the listener the atmosphere of the author’s place of residence. At the time of writing the song, Myron lived in a poor area of London, E16, which without a twinge of conscience can be called “bottom”.
Electrofunk is a musical style that combines rap, electronic music and funk. It is popular mainly among the middle and upper strata of the population.
Laughter, leftist electorate, dinner in tailcoats, social event,
The electorate is a closed circle of people who are united by some kind of voting right.
I’m not there, glass containers are accepted here, a package of poisons
Acrid, like vinaigrette in the morning, no contact and lack of sex
The first four lines give the listener an idea of how distant the characters in the song are. Miron is “at the bottom”, from where he sends greetings to his former lover, while she is not badly settled in life, attending social events.
A hundred years ago in the summer we wanted the whole world to burn to the ground
Fuck burning the entire planet, becoming dust, ashes and wind
How can I get a return ticket to you without prepayment?
The double-glazed window does not heat, the ladder has moved away and the screen has faded
The last line hints that everything is not going as it should for Myron.
The detector is right - I often lied to myself, I’m probably a helipad
The word “detector” means a lie detector.
Helipad is an irresponsible person who does not think about tomorrow.
Those who lay verses over octaves without purpose and direction will fail in business.
There is a reference here to rap artists; Miron encourages all those who have ventured into this genre to put some idea into the lyrics, and not just “lay verses on top of octaves”
Surely those who predicted this for us are happy
But I absolutely believed that there were no barriers and did not delve into their remarks
Now wander restlessly in the wilds of the mainland
The lot has fallen to us, where the river winds in the darkness
They will have to wander around London, it is this city that Myron is hinting at.
Rap is feces, hyperbole and synecdoche everywhere
"Rap is poop" is a controversial quote from Spider (used clearly ironically).
Hyperbole (literary meaning) is an exaggeration of a fact.
Synecdoche is the use of words in a figurative sense.
If without them, what you are missing is a specific fact...
To be honest, without any exaggeration, he misses her.
The mirror tells me: “Drink to the bottom, drink to the bottom
Your life is still full of days, the summer din is all around, not Guernica
You can't get along with her, it's more likely that a retrograde has become a technocrat
Technocrat is a specialist in the field of modern technology.
Retrograde is a person living in the past, always saying “And in our time...”
Why are you what she needs? kindergarten and it's time to grow up
It’s a sin to try to catch up with a shadow, it’s nonsense, like Herbalife booklets,
Herbalife is a small company that sells everything at low prices, often the goods are in poor condition, rarely appearance The product is similar to the photo in the booklets.
There are no exemplary couples in the world, it’s time to make a career plan...”
And I nod in response: Respect for the advice, bro
If so, then kill me like Derek Negra with a curb ...
This is a direct reference to the film “American History X”, where at the very beginning of the film Derek kills one of the blacks who was trying to steal a car in a particularly brutal way. He forces the black man to open his mouth and, as it were, bite the curb with his mouth, and then kicks him from above, the victim’s head practically breaks into two parts.
Derek Vinyard's (Edward Norton) development as a neo-Nazi was influenced by three factors.
Firstly, his father, who worked as a fireman, constantly instilled in Derek that in America blacks (Mexicans, etc.) have more rights than whites (they forced a black man to be his partner for reasons of political correctness). And then he was shot while putting out a fire in a black neighborhood.
Secondly, in the quarter where Derek’s family lived, crime flourished in the form of black gangs, which, as you understand, clearly confirmed his father’s words about the dominance of “coloreds.”
Thirdly, Derek met Alexander Cameron, an adult man, an ideologist of neo-Nazism, who thoroughly brainwashed him.
Cameron's words fell on fertile ground and Derek, being a very smart guy and a good speaker, became involved in the skinhead movement and soon became the head of the Apostles of Christ gang. Together with a gang skillfully managed by Cameron, Derek destroys “colored” stores, fights back black bandits, clears territory for whites, etc.
...This is not our area - this is a battlefield! Tonight we are all on the battlefield! The solution: will we stand by and quietly watch as our country is raped, or will we go there and do something against it?..(Derek's speech before the store pogrom).
Derek's hatred of "coloreds" extends to Jews. So, he insults and drives away a Jewish teacher who came to dinner with his mother.
The result of Derek's activities was the murder of two black guys who tried to get into his car at night. Moreover, he killed one of them in a very cruel way, breaking his neck with his foot.
Derek's epiphany
Derek was sent to prison. There he joined the neo-Nazis, but, seeing that they were not “ideological” skinheads, but just a gang, he stopped communicating with them. The skinheads, deciding to punish Derek for neglect, raped him. After this, Derek, left without protection, was to be killed by blacks, who were the majority in prison. His black laundry partner stood up for him. Then Derek had an epiphany. In addition, Derek, who had a lot of time to think, realized that his mentor, Cameron, was simply using him for his own personal purposes.
After leaving prison, Derek tried to sever ties with his gang and end neo-Nazism. But his former comrades, who idolized him after killing the robbers, learned about Derek’s new views, hated him (besides, Derek pulled his brother out of the gang and beat Cameron).
However, everything seemed to end well. Derek was able to get rid of the gang and found a job. But at the very end of the film something terrible happened. A black teenager shot and killed his little brother.
