Pagi dingin gak ada sinar mentari
Dan langit pun terlihat gelap
Mendung datang lagi

Dan aku berdiri
Di atas gedung yang tinggi
Memandang ramainya
Jakarta menyambut pagi ini

Aku di sini sendiri
Aku di sini sepi
Mengapa aku di sini
Jakarta pagi ini

Pagi sunyi
Gak ada burung bernyanyi
Putih embun pun kini
Telah terkontaminasi

Aku seperti terbang gak memijak bumi
Di antara merahnya emosi
Jakarta yang semakin ternodai

Aku di sini sendiri
Aku di sini sepi
Mengapa aku di sini
Jakarta pagi ini
Aku di sini
Walau apa yang terjadi
Sampai aku mati

Tempatku bukan di sini
Jakarta, Jakarta pagi ini

Aku di sini sendiri
Aku di sini sepi
Tempatku bukan di sini
Jakarta pagi ini

Aku di sini sendiri
Aku di sini sepi
Tempatku bukanlah di sini
Jakarta pagi ini

Di sini sendiri
Di sini sepi
Tempatku bukan di sini
Jakarta pagi ini

Slank was formed in 1983 through a school band at a local high school in Slank Jakarta, Indonesia, which named CSC (Cikini Stone Complex). Their main founder, Bimo Setiawan (Bimbim) and their fellow bandmates often played a number of Rolling Stones songs at school. The band later changed its name and personnel to SLANK, with Bimbim on drums, Erwan on vocals, Bongky on guitars, Denny on bass and Kiki on guitars. The name SLANK itself was taken from their musical attitude, which was, and is still reckless, ignorant and play with undetailed groove (Slengean in Indonesian).

In the following years, numbers of personnel changes were made, with Pay on guitars, Kaka on vocals and Indra on keyboard, replacing the previous bandmates.

Although they started their journey in the music industry quite roughly, with numerous of rejected demos, SLANK emerged in 1991 with their “The Best Newcomer” award in BASF event. Successes did not always come for SLANK, when three of their personnel, Bongky, Indra and Pay chose to quit the band, and formed their own band (BIP). Following the resignation, Abdee, Ivan and Ridho joined the band, and since then, SLANK has never changed its personnel again.
