Neues Ich [English translation]

[hook]

I cried so much,

The scars on my face.

Look at the tears, man I just wiped them away.

Man this life was a lie, no one knew my name.

What I was missing was love and respect.

I was born, died, and was born again

and at the end of the tunnel came a light. That's why

I'm standing here just like before, I look in the mirror, and what do I see? I see my new self.

Fler's Good Boy

part 1

Loved by many, hated by most.

The trick to life, is just to shit on that.

I'm not that guy anymore, that you know from back then.

You always held me back, but now they're kissing my ass.

But you know what?

I don't hold it against you.

You think you're the Man,1 your life is a lie.

Your bitch looks at me and says WOW.

'Cause I do my thing and whatever you can do, I can do too.

part 2

My first track on Bushido's King of Kingz tape.

I thought I wanted to be a rapper. Mama just: You're crazy! 2001, come check my story. My thing was bombing4 trains, I kept the beat with my Sony. I had panic attacks, no plans for the future. But one day

my fear and my panic turned into rage. I took the

mic, wanted to rap, wanted to tear up the rappers. Bushido

gave me a chance and after that, something to eat.

Man we were Aggro 4 Life.

Man, Aggro-Berliners.

I had to decide:

Painter, rapper, which would you rather? In my heart

I was a rapper, not a house painter. I had nothing...

Just a couple of my songs.

But I went along on tour. With Bushido, with Sido, with

B-Tight on the road, I took the mic at 7 o'clock. The

whole country was struck by lightning, because we all had hits5, from the number one label, yeah. Careers began.

1. Instead of the German word 'man,' he's saying 'man' with an American 'a,' which a German transcribed as 'e.' 2. High-class street in Berlin3. 'Frank White' is a nickname of Biggie Small's, after a gangster in 'King of New York'4. graffitti-bombing5. I think it's 'Schläger.'
