Like many of Ektomorf’s songs, “Cigány” deals with Zoltán Farkas’s frustration for the racism that his people, the Romani people—known colloquially and disparagingly as Gypsies—experience regularly, particularly in Eastern Europe.
[Verse 1]
Do you know me?
Do you know my life?
You jealous piece of shit
You criticize
How about fate?
How about time?
Always believe and sacrifice
[Chorus]
I'm the cigány
I'm the cigány
Show me what you got
Show me what you got
I'm the cigány
I'm the cigány
Show me what you got
[Verse 2]
Born to be hated
Burn in endless rage
It gives me the power
The power to live
I don't feel sorrow
I don't feel shame
Fuck all your jealousy
Fuck all your hate
[Chorus]
I'm the cigány
I'm the cigány
Show me what you got
Show me what you got
I'm the cigány
I'm the cigány
Show me what you got
Yeah!
[Solo]
[Bridge]
You hate me
You judge me
You fear me
You want me
You hate me
You judge me
You fear me
You want me
[Solo]
[Chorus]
I'm the cigány
I'm the cigány
Show me what you got
Show me what you got
I'm the cigány
I'm the cigány
Show me what you got
[Outro]
Yeah!
It's me, Gypsy
It's me
