Bushido [English translation]

PART 1

Yeah, back then it was Chablife* and Klunker*, we came to Berlin and got our first deal at Royal Bunker*

I saw you at Splash* for the first time, after that Carlo Cokxx Nutten 1* was my first choice

Do you remember 10,000 hands at Elektrofaust*, suddenly backpackers play ghetto sounds

Yeah, suddenly the whole scene wanted to be G's and every rapper wanted to rhyme on Bushido's beats

I was wondering, I wanted a Track and you said it wouldn't work out because Aggro* gives a shit about Bunker

I was as sad as a little kid, it was unbelievable and it's true what they say: out of sight, out of mind

We didn't see each other for 2 years, then I came to Cologne to German Dream* but everything seemed clouded

Eko* didn't have the money to publish me, I lived like a bum, this dream makes you blind

I didn't have money for food, I didn't have money to live, the dealers gave me change because they felt sorry for me

I only wanted to be a rapper, be famous, count money, but that thought was wrong, I went back to Lake Constance

CHORUS

I am thankfull, brother, I am deeply thankfull, thank you for everything that you give me, Anis*

My Mom is so proud of me when she sees me today, Bushido, everybody wishes for a friend like him

I am thankfull, brother, I am deeply thankfull, thank you for everything that you give me, Anis*, yeah

My Dad is so proud of me when he sees me today, Bushido, there rarely is a friend like him

PART 2

Totally screwed up during a year, debts, here at the Employment Office, to everybody who doesn't know this story: this is the truth, man

You were online, I wrote to you, I said: only stress, only trouble, only crisis

And the mountain of debt fucks my life here, you asked: How much is it?

I'll give it to you. I couldn't believe it. We barely knew each other. Between you an me: all of this seemed like a dream to me

You invited me to Berlin

And shortly after that I lived in Berlin

You said, man, I'll celebrate you, get on board, Ersguterjunge* Vom Bordstein zu Skyline!*

It is really heavy, who would have thought this, irony of fate brought me to you

Today we laugh together, we eat together

We cry together and we fight every battle

My teacher laughed at me but look at Kenneth*, the boy made it

I thank you and Ari* infinitively, I will always be there, you know me

CHORUS 2 x

I am thankfull, brother, I am deeply thankfull, thank you for everything that you give me, Anis*

My Mom is so proud of me when she sees me today, Bushido, everybody wishes for a friend like him

I am thankfull, brother, I am deeply thankfull, thank you for everything that you give me, Anis*, yeah

My Dad is so proud of me when he sees me today
