[Interlude]
That's why I stand here
Had to prove myself on the street in the area
That's why people say this german is stable
I'm credible for all these kids because of that
Doesn't matter if black or white
What goes around, comes around
[Verse 1]
I've collected lots, pocketed lots
But I knew one day I'd get my respect
Grousing was a foreign thing
My dreams were on display windows
As a Berliner you get colorblind as a stray
That's why it doesn't matter how dark your hair is
That's why I grouse like a German Badboy
For the German kids it's educationally valuable
Had to prove myself here on focus
Today I make the sound your gang pumps
Outsider player like Ronaldo
Wear my sunglasses every day like Heino
Temperament like a southerner
Lagerfeld1with a Butterfly2- Haute Couture3 gangster
The first german to have the balls
I'm sick of the same old story

[Verse 2]
I know both sides, know their languages
Am the best of both worlds on these streets
I've demonstrated, no germans in my circle of friends
But I'm real, because I still stay the same german
It's time that I set a sign
Mesut Özil,4he's getting substituted
I apologise when I sound too radical to you
That's the national anthem for us on the streets
The New German Wave,5I'm finally back
There's a lot of things that go wrong in this state
Stable german, wide build
Boy, anxiety for no reason is in my nature
I'm Frank, because I cruise in a Benz
For me the flag isn't only hitched up during the world cup
The first german to have the balls
I'm sick of the same old story
