Video exclusive: Watch Liverpool's Ryan Babel rapping

You might think that Liverpool players would think twice about rapping in public following their abysmal 1988 FA Cup final single 'The Anfield Rap' - not to mention John Barnes' excruciating cameo on New Order's 'World In Motion'.

It's a shame nobody told Ryan Babel, then. The Dutchman might be a hit on the pitch - see his winner against Manchester United last weekend for proof - but he's not exactly Jay-Z on the mic, as this clip of a freestyle session recorded for Dutch radio station 101Barz proves.

Ryan's rapping in Dutch, which means you might not catch cutting edge lyrics like "no caviar for us, Surinamers eat chicken' and "I can't even spend all my money/
Keep your daughter in sight or you will be my family", so thankfully we've included a translation below.

Warning: this contains some very bad language. And some even worse rapping…

Translation:
Rapping is my hobby
Rappers don't want trouble
I'm the Liverpool star those bitches are loving
I know what time it is - I've just bought a new watch
I'll give you a punchline: eight seconds, you'll be knocked down
Towel in the ring
My family in the V.I.P
No caviar for us, Surinamers eat chicken
Ya'll know nothing: this is the Premier League
Representing the G
You can see this n***a with number 19
Ya'll can f*** off, I f*** with a whole team
Ya'll can talk, but you don't get anything with it
Ya'll can't be like me, my status is too high
If rappers come to close, I have to take space
People watch YouTube to learn my actions
I have those skills, try some tricks
I was a poor n***a
Now I make f***ing money
I went from the Euro to the English pound
I put money in my pocket, now I spend money on nothing
I like it this way, I'm sure you like it
If somebody want beef, well come on
I like it with some pepper, homie
I'm sure in my life
Give me the f***ing ball, you lose both legs
And now my competition is past
If you hate me because of that, I say you're right
If I was you, I would hate me too
I have the s**t homie
I can't even spend all my money
Keep your daughter in sight. or you will be my family
I'll take your daughter and let her make clean
101 Barz - this is the first time but I came hard!
I came alone, I don't have a back-up
I came because I mean it
