Bergab Remix [English translation]

Hook (Sido)

This is a life in the hood, it doesn't go upwards, only downhill (downhill, downhill)

This is a life in the hood, that makes surviving difficult (difficult, difficult) seriously

That's how the life in the hood is, it doesn't go upwards, only downhill

Life in the hood is a bitch, and then you die as if that was all (that was all) seriously

(B-Tight!)

Even in his schooldays he used to be a chick magnet

The babyface with the blue eyes and brown hair

He had them all, the big and small chested ones

The shy fat ones and the arrogant bitches

All of the hood knew he was a rat

He fucked chicks who were his friends' serious girlfriends

He had stamina, could come on command

He was dreaming of a life as a pornstar, but didn't make it

It was as if no lifestyle could lead out of the hood

He learned nothing, did nothing and blazed too much

At the end it was his dick that broke his neck

Because he fucked the wrong guy's chick

Just because he couldn't stop it he was blatantly abused

With the guns and hands of the sickest crew

Suddenly he got spots all over his body

HIV-Positive, just because he listened to his dick!

(KittyKat)

He wears an old coat, shoes with no laces

The streets in the hood are his four walls

He never thought he would end up like that

He drinks his frustration away with money he scrounges in the bus

He sleeps in the park, but mostly at daytime

Can't risk someone breaking his nose at night

He drinks until he's warm, sometimes he doesn't see food for days

He can't think clearly due to the booze eating its way through his stomach

You can see him daily in the hood, that's his life

People ignore him because they are disgusted by folks like him

There's no turning back, he's almost forgotten how to talk

He's accepted the fact that it's too late for him to turn back

The summers were easy, the wintertime was harder

Last year was the last time it snowed for him

The old man died in the hood

He froze at -20°C!

(AlpaGun)

He's a lousy gangster, has fucked up a lot

He's dreaded in the hood, most of his time he sat in jail

He's had enough, has accomplished nothing in all these years

His mom crying because of him was not easy

Suddenly nobody saw him anymore, he disappeared in the condo

He wanted to be sincere - and found a job

Hard work, a little money, he really should be earning more

He was truly hardworking, but his boss was not fair

He really tried, but in the end nothing worked out

He couldn't take it, he just wanted out

Sometimes people really are like animals, they behave like pigs do

Then he meets the wrong friends, and fucks up like he used to

Suddenly he was running away, he was missing

It was said that the cops caught him with a bullet to the head

They shot, because he tried to resist

That's how life in the hood is: it only goes downhill!

(G-Hot)

Even then he was drawing tags on the math test

He dropped out of school and went away

With only 13 he didn't give a shit

Mommy couldn't do anything, he always got out at night

Everyday he set off again to paint trains

Even if he didn't gain any chicks or money off of it

He came from the hood, a pretty normal city child

When he became 20, they called him the (?hohl k?) King1

In every bus, on every train, on every wall

You didn't have to spray him, everybody knew him

He was the King of the Scene, the only boss

He was respected by everyone, no one crossed his way

He got caught all the time and had to go to court

But stopping the word, that he couldn't do

He went into the pit again and had to run from the cops

It was his last train, he stopped at the busbar!

1. no idea, that's the only way I've found it :/
