Gitarre [English translation]

Back then there was just me and the guitar

Teachers said, I wouldn't make it

Nobody knows exactly what I'm currently doing

But I have hits in my pocket, woh

Born in Berlin, Charité Moabit

Grown up in a ghetto, high school diploma, what is ghetto?

Manga-Haircut, Emo-Style

No German and no Turk, I want to be different

Summer holidays at the skater park

Cheap wine off tetra pak, yeah

Nirvana poster above my bed

And without my heroes I wouldn't be here now (Woh)

Back then there was just me and the guitar

Teachers said, I wouldn't make it

Nobody knows exactly what I'm currently doing

But I have hits in my pocket, woh

Everything I touch turns gold

I stick out off this mass

Everyone is waiting for me in studio nowadays

Back then there was just me and the guitar

Back in school they've always said

I'd be crazy in a fucked up way

I almost adjusted myself

Then I thought: "let that be!"

What shall even happen, bro?

Why should I be like you, bro? I only belong to myself, bro

Why should I study, bro?

Rather give me a cig, a song, a beat, I'm successful, bro

They sing my songs without knowing me

"Gestört aber Geil"* make money for the family, yeah

Man, I don't know either what I'll do tomorrow

But if I want I even sing with auto tune (woh)

Back then there was just me and the guitar

Teachers said, I wouldn't make it

Nobody knows exactly what I'm currently doing

But I have hits in my pocket, woh

Everything I touch turns gold

I stick out off this mass

Everyone is waiting for me in studio nowadays

Back then there was just me and the guitar

I swear on my life, dreams become true

I swear on my life, dreams become true

I swear on my life, dreams become true

I swear on my life, dreams become true, woh

Back then there was just me and the guitar

Teachers said, I wouldn't make it

Nobody knows exactly what I'm currently doing

But I have hits in my pocket, woh

Everything I touch turns gold

I stick out off this mass

Everyone is waiting for me in studio nowadays

Back then there was just me and the guitar
