KIZ: What does “25 doses or one shot” mean?
In the song Summer of My Life there is a line where I don't understand the meaning. How do you interpret the line?
"Open-air swimming pool on no Monday wants to hit me
As soon as I'm over the fence I get a slap in the face
25 doses or one stitch"
What is the meaning of the 25 cans? Is it just me that I don't get it, or is it a line where the listener's imagination plays a role, so that there are many things you can interpret into it (I have no idea how to spell that word).

I guess that's your own interpretation. 25 cans of deposit are 6.25€ our outdoor swimming pool costs 6 Euro entrance.
Maybe that's what I mean.
I can well imagine that's what counts in cans 😂
So I interpret this so that it is meant in the graffiti context. (Because KIZ is coming out of the hip-hop corner and that is very close to graffiti)
For this, you need a little background knowledge on graffiti:
In the graffiti scene, respect (especially for people with more experience) is a huge topic. In addition, there are some no-gos to keep the most. One of them is that you don't just spray over the pictures of other painters. If this is done anyway, there can often be some drama and stress.
Such a dispute is then often resolved by agreeing to settle his "school" by giving the other person (spray) cans. (quasi as “judgment”).
I believe therefore that the text passage wants to say the following:
The interpreter does not want to go to the outdoor swimming pool, because there is "Mo" which is obviously mad at him.
The interpreter has entered this mo before on the slips (has, for example, overpainted an image of it or the like). Mo now wants 25 (spray) cans as "decompensation" from him or there is anger (never).
I think you could interpret it like this 😀
