Keiner hält mich auf [English translation]

No one’s stoppin’ me…

No one’s stoppin’ me

This road is riddled with stones ¹

and I walk it alone

No one’s stoppin’ me

and I reach for the stars

until we someday depart ²

No one’s stoppin’ me

Part 1:

Here on the road, the moon is my witness

down there the street, up there the dreams.

Ghetto story, ghetto boy

I went my way

but all the bad dreams,

they follow me a lifetime

They laughed at me,

my friends left me hangin’

Alone on the road, down there in the narrow streets

they say that life’s a one-man battle in the ghetto;

they say it’s like solitary confinement in the ghetto

If you become a star, you’ll suddenly make the big bucks, and with a hundred thousand fans,

it’s clear that you’ll have

a few enemies

Look here boy, the models are dancing topless

and the seventh fits well to my sweatpants

I won’t pay for anything, I’ll write zero on the check

I’ll just shake you down and fly further, like with ³

Red Bull

Hey you gangsta, just go get your pants ⁴

Hook:

No one’s stoppin’ me

This road is riddled with stones

and I walk it alone

No one’s stoppin’ me

and I reach for the stars

until we someday depart

No one’s stoppin’ me

Part 2:

Loved by many, hated by most

Shit happens in jail or if you’re broke

‘cause every other person wants to fuck you from behind

and dad’ll beat you too

if the cops catch you

Look, every day’s like the other in my neighborhood

The cops are on the lookout,

but I don’t talk with the sluts

I’d like to say that I truly believe in what’s good,

but I look at the world for just a minute and only see a whore; I’ll get in my Beemer; I don’t drive, I cruise; ⁵

I know that the German government

scrutinizes my ass

But no one’s stoppin’ me, until I’m dead

‘cause I get’ up, go out, and look better than you

Who are we? Ghetto boys in ski masks,

from NDW to BMW, we’re the most wanted in the BRD ⁶

Hook:

No one’s stoppin’ me

This road is riddled with stones

and I walk it alone

No one’s stoppin’ me

and I reach for the stars

until we someday depart

No one’s stoppin’ me

Hook Track:

I’ve often been near the end; believe me man, I thought that I’d flatline; yeah,I’d flatline

but then, I had hoped and I have seen that the world just keeps on turning, keeps on turning

Hook:

No one’s stoppin’ me

This road is riddled with stones

and I walk it alone

No one’s stoppin’ me

and I reach for the stars

until we someday depart

No one’s stoppin’ me
