Hey du [English translation]

Hey you! Hey you!

Listen

Listen to me

I want to

Tell you something about me

I've never done this before

Except with you

Maybe that will help you

I do actually not know you

I only see how sad you are

No my friend, life ain't easy

D*mn, it's hard, you have to do something, that's what I say all the time

And not that you think he only babbles, I know what I talk about

After all I rap myself free of this sh*t with every song

Listen, I tell you something so you'll not be sad anymore

Something that might to you seem truely unbelievable

I grew up in the GDR, yes you got that right

But that a Wall existed was not of interest for me

I was a proud pioneer though caged like an animal

Mama said that the neighbors secretly spy on us

And since they seemed to monitor us, she wanted to flee to the West

Pack up things, children on her hand, escape over night

And we provisorily quarter at some relative's house

But not for long since there was an empty place at the asylum home

In the middle of Wedding between Apachees and Aldis and with the

New Homies I broke into Aldi at night

Because a boy from the East wasn't really hot in the West

I recieved beatings for my family background nearly every day

And since then I swore to myself to make a secret out of it

So that my Homies had no reason to laugh about me

Why I tell you this now, I do not exactly know

Probably because you just look this way with your tearful eyes

But I believe under the water there's a face which is nice

I hope this song wipes away your tears

Listen!

Then we moved to the Mv, a quarter at the outskirts

And from then on things happened, not a hair left on the balls

But making pranksters because Mama did not have enough money

So I learned how to do things on the street

School was of course a minor matter

You're simply released to life after the 10th class

And then once again I stood there with nothing

Mama got myself an apprenticeship as an educator

But I got kicked out and moved out of home

Without a lodging I stayed at Bobby's with an air bed on the ground

No perspective, no prospect on something better

Only a lot of this stuff which lets you forget - too much of it

I know I do not know you

But I tell you this

So you know how many facettes life has

I mean, sometimes everything goes down but you learn from your mistakes

And then it goes up again, look, fate was on my side

It will do the same for you, it will get better, believe in yourself

The futures turns on your face - same as on mine - a bright smiles

Don't simply run around, look at the positive side, that's not hard

I had this dream, I have followed it and now I am someone
