Crabs in a Bucket
Official Video: youtu.be/g7Nz0CRCRp0
This song talks about the crab mentality of people and communities of the modern world. When you leave a single crab in a bucket it is likely to find a way to climb out but if there is more than one crab in the bucket then not a single crab will escape because the crab that has reached the top will be pulled down by the others that are at the bottom.
The last lines of the song ‘bloody crabs in a toxic bucket all die’ simply means that the crabs are covered in their own blood as they snap away at each other and the toxic bucket signifies the negative environment in which they thrive. The inability to appreciate or to be envious of someone else’s success is what this song is all about.

lyrics
Mynsiem pihuiñ jong phi, iaphi kan lam shano
(Your jealous heart will not lead you anywhere)
Kum u khniang ha u dieng dymbur phi ap ba un seisoh
(Like an insect on a fig tree, waiting for fruits to bear)
Phi rkhie bein phi kynthoh haba ki kiew ki ioh
(You mock them when you see them grow)
Tang kylla ka aiom, ha trai dieng phin iap noh
(But when the season changes, you lie dead below)
Bucket full of crabs
Hoi Kiw!
Hoi Kiw!
They wanna hold you back, pull you down when they see you grow
Don’t let em beat you, stand your ground cuz this is your show
Leeches will cling to you when you climb up the ladder
To drain your blood, but it really doesn’t matter
Stay out of my way, you carcass consuming maggot
Feed me more of your hate, I’m getting stronger
I spit words on your face, you better move out my way
I am here to stay
I’ll rise above you all the way up high
Mountains I will climb
You can’t change my fate
I’ll rise above you all the way up high
Goodbye enemies, my time has arrived
I’ll rise
Stay out, stay out my way
Stay out, stay out my way
Stay out my fuckin way
I’ll keep a leech or two, feed them blood just to know who’s who
I’ll keep them close, even shake their hand just to pretend it’s true
Dress em up for the world and put them on a platter
Make them feel good, then I’ll lead them to the slaughter
Stay out of my way, you carcass consuming maggot
Feed me more of your hate, I’m getting stronger
I spit words on your face, you better move out my way
I am here to stay
I’ll rise above you all the way up high
Mountains I will climb
You can’t change my fate
I’ll rise above you all the way up high
Goodbye enemies, my time has arrived
I’ll rise
Stay out, stay out my way
Stay out, stay out my way
Stay out my fuckin way
Crabs in a bucket
Bloody crabs in a toxic bucket all die
(Your jealous heart will not lead you anywhere)
Kum u khniang ha u dieng dymbur phi ap ba un seisoh
(Like an insect on a fig tree, waiting for fruits to bear)
Phi rkhie bein phi kynthoh haba ki kiew ki ioh
