Verse 1
I'll tell you a story about a guy called Max
Who smokes a bag of Afghan pot in front of the Cologne South Stadium
This greenhorn f****d up in school real bad
When we were kids we would pilfer sweets from the kiosk
He saw a girl on a train; her name was Guelistan
I warned him: her parents strictly followed the rules of the Qu'ran
They had met shortly before the start of Ramadan
And ever since they first met they were inseparable
Whether a Turk or a German, you're a human inside
But he made a mistake and let her stay overnight
They drank rum, and then wine, then they secretly groped
On that night she lost her virginity
The next morning came; she was plagued by bad conscience
There was blood on the bedsheet and the pillow
She felt totally f***d up
He took her to the bus stop, just kissed her good bye
But Ayleen from the block was standing there; OMG, she got busted!
Chorus
Firstly, things never turn out, secondly, the way you expect1
F**k the future, 'cuz no one really knows nothing 'bout that s**t
Something like this happens everywhere in the ghetto
"Cologne Kalk honor killing" is no empty word
Firstly, things never turn out, secondly, the way you expect
F**k the future, 'cuz no one really knows nothing 'bout that s**t
Come on, let me dry off your tear
Things like the Cologne Kalk honor killing do occur in your life.
Verse 2
She's just thinking: "S**t, if my brother finds out
He'll kill everyone and will be locked up in a juvenile detention home"
Her brother's name was Aziz, and he never left that crib
The cops were after him, 'cuz he deals with piece, all coked up
And Ayleen, that blabbermouth, spread instantly the news around
In the city; you know what that means
In the ghetto, it's always the same old s**t
Rumors spread around faster than the flu
As Aziz met Uemit at the shop
He says: "You know what they says about Guelistan?
She's supposedly not a chaste one
'Cuz yesterday she was messing around with a German"
"Mois2, this can't be, stop it!"
And he beat the s**t out of Uemit
He shouts out loud: "Has this b***h no decency at all?"
And he stole a gun from his father's closet.
Chorus
Verse 3
Aziz snorted a line right there in the bushes
And then went to Max Schmidt's place and rang the bell
He didn't dig what was nagging him inside
He had no clue what this was like, the sister is a b***h
Poor Max, he's opening the door now
And then just a "bang-bang", a headshot, the brain's out
"This was for my father, you infidel
And for my sister, who was still a virgin"
He sees in the apartment his sister sitting on the bed
And just tells her: "Come here, you honorless piece of dirt!"
Guelistan says: "But I love him like mad!"
But Aziz just reloads and shoots her in the face
He reloads again and shoots at her corpse
He stays and sits there until the police arrives
He loads again and turns the weapon on himself
So, who has profited from this? Dude! F*** yourselves!
1. the proverb actually goes "Things never turn out the way you expect" but the Germans jokingly jumble the sentence the way it is rendered in the translation2. is a Turkish word originally meaning "someone who offers you protection", now equals "buddy", "colleague", "mate/pal"
