Adrenalin [English translation]

[Intro/Bridge]:

So I paint the world how-how-how I like it1

So I paint the world how-how-how I like it

So I paint the world how-how-how I like it

So I paint the world how-how-how I like it

[Part 1]:

Forbid us to speak but colors can talk

The dead concrete gets a new life

Big city guerilla, we break the rules

The night pitch-black but we still can see in the fog

Blue light is poison, watch out for sirens

But every new painting brightens up the cage

Even when we've been silent all our lives

You see the tags at the walls and they scream at you, damn

I write my name in the air

The system broke down long ago

Politics only a walking - ahhh

Names in colors is far from over

So go and bottle up your frustration

[Pre-Hook]:

Everything in chrome-black matt

High-gloss paint, fatcap tags for the neighborhood

Onliner, paint marker, matt black overkiller

Wholecar, props to the allstars

[Hook]

Because we turn your grey into colored

The drips on the wall, the ink in the blood

Adrenaline, we've been here before

I surf your train, so what are you gonna do?

Because we turn your grey into colored

The drips on the wall, graffiti is art

Adrenaline, we've been here before

The city becomes a canvas at a stride2

[Intro/Bridge (4x)]:

So I paint the world how-how-how I like it1

[Part 2]:

We talk in colors, another language

Mark the territory to show that we're here

Out of the matrix then into the madness

Up on the train, they breath the airstream

Give a fuck about your Stasi,3 kinda

They rather get three times three chrome/black and have a party

Fuck "gangster", they lurk like soldiers

In the bushes and wait for the moment

Into the yard through an open window

Wholecar, photo, collector, next one

An end-to-end or rope at the house wall

Silent way too long but you can still feel the riot

[Pre-Hook]:

Everything in chrome-black matt

High-gloss paint, fatcap tags for the neighborhood

Onliner, paint marker, matt black overkiller

Wholecar, props to the allstars

[Hook]

Because we turn your grey into colored

The drips on the wall, the ink in the blood

Adrenaline, we've been here before

I surf your train, so what are you gonna do?

Because we turn your grey into colored

The drips on the wall, graffiti is art

Adrenaline, we've been here before

The city becomes a canvas at a stride2

[Intro/Bridge (4x)]:

So I paint the world how-how-how I like it1

[Part 3]:

Everything became standard, the world in black and white

The view as far as to the edge of the plate,4 the sight always the same

The head always pointing down because the ground is enough for you

We jump as high as we can and the sky is not far

Slaves of the time - pressure, lack of money

Always hectic, hectic and then leave again fast

But what will remain of you besides a bank account with some cents

But I paint the word, widdewidde5 how I like it1

[Hook]

Because we turn your grey into colored

The drips on the wall, the ink in the blood

Adrenaline, we've been here before

I surf your train, so what are you gonna do?

Because we turn your grey into colored

The drips on the wall, graffiti is art

Adrenaline, we've been here before

The city becomes a canvas at a stride2
