Inflation
Ytb! Ytb!
We are here again
The sokaklar are not safe anymore
The pride in us is slowly disappearing out there
Ytb ytb, have you heard about inflation?
Lütfen explain to us ytb
The prices are no match out here
The lira is sequencing like polymerase chain
The cost of all kinds of stuff is reaching its peak
Happening like a lightning streak
Ytb nasil yapacagiz bilmiyoruz
The dollar blow is like an impregnable strike
The pockets are drying up faster than unexpected
The Alisveris Merkez is no longer our commonplace
Ytb, things are changing before our eyes
The math is challenging out here
Simit is now 3tl, çay is no longer our morning ilaç
The kebap is no longer affordable
Ytb! That çorba is now 10tl
The buck in 2016 is now worth 7 lira
How you did it haberim yok
But we think its kind of shifty ytb
I hear the sokaklar are tense with dollars
The Reis believe the opposite of textbook notes is true
Merak etmeyin he says
But you know ytb, we are not Rumplestiltskin
Maybe you should ask Captain Hook how he did it
