Dan Bull - Bowling For Liberty Lyrics






My days of youth were in the people's army
And I paid my dues under a legal mafia
The news could hardly cover Yugoslavia
Without looking down on us dudes surviving here
The warzone was a training ground
For the land of the free, never lay me down
But the land isn't free, better pay me now
'Cause you don't wanna see me when I throw my weight around
I never wait around, or set a date and count
No hype like when the game announced
Then when I came around the would be saying aloud
That I didn't belong, that I was lame, get out
But I've always done what I ain't allowed
You think a crowd of haters would dissuade me now?
You've only made me welcome to change the outcome
I take an ounce and then upgrade to pounds, uh

Foreign places, feel faceless
Starting over, leave no traces
I've seen things you couldn't imagine
Death of innocent women and children
Family will be there for each other
It gave me a new beginning
All was against me but I'm set free
New home, Liberty City

Came to a strange land
Alien with a game plan
To become a self-made made man
Power is ambidextrous, it'll change hands
Time is money and every dollar is a grain of sand
Slipping into my wallet, how do I plead?
It's simple your honor
I'm innocent of everything but pimping your momma

Depart from the dock and I start from the bottom
Like slaves that were traded and stopped picking cotton
Raise up and raze the construction that's stopping them
Burn, Nat Turner and Spartacus, chopping up
And while you're sat in the park, chatting
I'm carjacking ambulances, having a laugh, when I'm crashing them
No you can't have it back, I'm lacking the heart
Packing an actual arsenal in back of my fire truck
And I partook in every felony that you could write up
I push crime numbers in the city right up
The boldest agent couldn't solve the case
Until they're old and grey, by then I've rolled away
I'm in a stolen Sabre, feds are all in chase
But let me just drop by for a bowling date, yay!
Take a hike down memory lane
I got a strike looking like I'm ahead of the game, uh

Foreign places, feel faceless
Starting over, leave no traces
I've seen things you couldn't imagine
Death of innocent women and children
Family will be there for each other
It gave me a new beginning
All was against me but I'm set free
New home, Liberty City

Startred alone in the dark with a hope
Swimming with the loan sharks in the open
I keep afloat, heart open to omens that I'll see
A sign any moment, my cousin Roman
Bellic and me, we'll make a hell of a team
Together we'll leap to the American Dream
But as I climb the wall with a goal:
Ascend higher, decline and fall
Of the Roman Empire

Living in broker broke, amid the roaches
Roman roads are nowhere, close to as robust
As I'd hoped for, so I carve my own path
Pull up the weeds in the garden, mown grass
Remodel the landscape in my image
The minute hand's ticking till the time I finish
Rome wasn't built overnight, in five minutes
But have a look what I've done with the place, nice, innit?
Never turn your back, I might stick a knife in it
This is the kind of life advice I'm giving
'Cause this is the kind of life that I'm living
Never let it inhibit my drive or my mission
Never set a limit, still I get it did and done
Inside the time given, I ice you dry like nitrogen
I hide in plain sight defy your night vision
Avant-garde, make caviar rise from fried chicken

Foreign places, feel faceless
Starting over, leave no traces
I've seen things you couldn't imagine
Death of innocent women and children
Family will be there for each other
It gave me a new beginning
All was against me but I'm set free
New home, Liberty City

    Still favorite GTA. Niko is my boy!

  7. P.... D....

    -bad-





    *good*

  8. M.... S....

    This whole song is effing amazing.

  9. D.... K....

    I'm starting to get interested in GTA 4 again and I just wonder...when did Niko go from tryna scratch up a few bucks with Roman to working with the Corrupt Government to settle scores as a "Good" Criminal?

  10. a.... C....

    Nice song

  11. E.... A....

    One of the dopest rappers out there! How the hell don't you have more subs???

  12. s.... k....

    I livd in jugoslavija vojvodina and i got flesbeks of de war

  13. F.... ....

    oah, thats some good shi* :D

  14. #.... J....

    Is it only me who feel soulless when plaing GTA and other games, its like im just diving into a character and live another life.

  15. R.... ....

    Not bad 👏

  16. D.... ....

    This song made me go to my attic bring my ps3 down a play gta IV again.

  17. K.... ....

    GTA IV surprised many with how well its story was build. its intro is still one of my favorite musics ever and it does remain one of my fav games of alll time.

  18. G.... 2....

    Gta 4 remastered or gta 6 with old Nico.

    Which do you rather, tell me in the replys

    G.... 2....

    GTA 4 Remastered

  19. S.... 1....

    Niko was the best gta character, with the only exception is Big smoke, as we see in the game, Niko makes alota of grammatical errors but as the game goes on and the story progresses, Niko gets better at speaking English

  20. D.... -....

    How does content like this not get the recognition it deserves?

  21. S.... ....

    Damn, I forgot how awesome your videos were, this is coming from a guy who despises rap. The first one I watched was "Bards rap" for Skyrim.

  22. L.... C....

    When the Italian guy sits down at the table with your friends with a bag of flour but you know it's not flour

  23. O.... H....

    Hey Dan, let's go bowling.

  24. T.... S....

    Niko Bellic was no bitch.
    Tbh Liberty City is waaaaaay better than GTA5 story wise

  25. L.... ....

    This is the most dark one lol I love gta four. it was most of child hood

  26. h.... h....

    GTA 4 is the darkest one among the GTA series, yet it is so realistic. Deception, betrayal, endless killing, shattered American dream... are all hidden beneath the prosperity of Liberty CIty .

    h.... h....

    hong huang Makes me sad I never beat it, got bored part way through, and now I find it too difficult to pick back up where I left off

  27. B.... D....

    The best GTA ever made, despise what everyone says.

  28. l.... b....

    im serbian kosovo ia serbia

  29. j.... s....

    Im going to confuse all of you








    Ч

    j.... s....

    Jebi ih mrale

  30. S.... 1....

    GTA IV is my favourite GTA of all time. My top 1. I love this game so much. Thanks for making this rap video.

  31. B.... s....

    Wish you would've used gta iv song to rap over its such a good song,but i get why you didn't

  32. S.... ....

    Cousin let’s go bowling!

  33. _.... R....

    I just got hit with Nostalgia

  34. b.... m....

    i bet this comment section is all about bowling.

  35. A.... ....

    I know it’s a reach but i think the “the land isn’t free better pay me now” is a reference to killing them softly where brad pitt say it at the end

  36. D.... S....

    Gta 4 better than gta 5

  37. J.... ....

    Best GTA

  38. C.... C....

    Bruh. The first ten bars got me weak. And how you slowly got hype during the second verse was dope. Shout-out to Divide with the grand melodies.

  39. i.... ....

    To inappropriate!!!!!!

  40. D.... ....

    A game that's over 10 years old but the graphic is still better than GTA V

    D.... ....

    in eyes of an idiot or a blind man, yes.

  41. L.... B....

    This is so epic :o

  42. G.... C....

    N I K O I T ‘ S Y O U R C O U S I N , L E T ‘ S G O B O W L I N G !

  43. Z.... P....

    They should bring Niko back for GTA 6.

    Z.... P....

    That's never gona be happening because voice actor wasn't happy about payment to voicing Nico.

    Z.... P....

    But would be cool.

    Z.... P....

    @Latvian Gamer all we need is a big enough bag of money!

  44. A.... p....

    My uncle died in the nato agresion bombing not only me but almost everyone in Serbia lost some one they see us as the villains not the albanian pricks and the fascist racist scum croats they killed us just because we were orthodox women men even children my dad has bad memorys when he sees blood he looses his shit it's really sad you guys should watch a documentary about bombing ustasas and albanian terrorists

  45. L.... G....

    Idc what people say. GTA IV had an awesome plot. Plus Niko probably has one of the most tragic back stories in the game series.

    L.... G....

    Tonely it was more grit that satire, it was more akin to red dead than san andreas while gta v is more akin to saints row 2 going over the top within reason

  46. V.... V....

    Im From Montenegro in SFRJ Jugoslavija u vanzemaljce feel good Balkan Never cant be good place for life

  47. k.... d....

    nice Dan Bull

  48. O.... B....

    I realize story based rhymes might be a little more interesting but I would really love to see you rap about a game like Hearts of Iron IV, Rome Total War (original 2004), Victoria II, EUIV, Arma III, etc. kind of a niche audience though, but I thought you civilization rap was one of your best. The story of Rome is inspiring and would make a good subject.

  49. G.... W....

    Heart touching musica

  50. c.... m....

    Awesome job man I've requested that a couple of times now like to hear The Ballad of Gay Tony and lost and the damned please😃

  51. a.... ....

    i love the chorus so much

  52. C.... ....

    10 years old and i still can't max out the graphics :P

    C.... ....

    Chromatic Get an Xbox, pc peasant

  53. d.... ....

    This.... was fucking awesome. Good job

  54. P.... T....

    I can't till the world hears my boi Rico from Ear Drummers, the boy is nasty! We might get him on a ft soon!

  55. D.... _....

    DADDYS BACK YOU BITCHEEESS

  56. �.... F....

    I still play gta iv

  57. M.... J....

    Roman would always make me mad

  58. S.... M....

    BOOM...Liberty city💀

    Hey, Dan, I was wondering if you'd ever do a song about the original Deus Ex as a critical hit or even just in general. I'd love to see what you can make from that game.
