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
