Berliner Schnauze [English translation]

It started in '98, I screwed rappers

Now it's 2006, and I'm back in business

And I still screw every rapper,

Every label,

Every newspaper,

Every faker,

Every major

The time is up for all you cripples

Just a banger back then,

Everyone ignored me

But I've been on the charts,

Now every gangster wants something from me

Only through the backdoor,

And banned from every disco

Now on the red carpet,

I celebrate in a house or in death

And back then it was the cold concrete and the gang-bangers,

Today I only name things like lawyers and my managers

Fuck your ass, misshapen1 wanker, you're still a son of a bitch

All those words are still just common courtesy to me

I show my sack to every K.O. rapper and rap student

Instead of hating, start thinking about your money

You don't need to turn away,

I spit the truth in your face

I stay as I am, and I never change

No respect, no class, no idol

B-b-berliner snout

Ignorant, no reason

And I screw this country, the Berliner snout

No respect, no class, no idol

B-b-berliner snout

Ignorant, no reason

And I screw this country, the Berliner snout

I found the right job for me, Mama thinks it's alright

If her son puts good cash in her purse every night

Not coming home with the cops and the border police anymore2,

But in my Benz with a few hot chicks and a wad of cash

I'm not just that boy

With the ghetto look and face anymore,

Yet I fuck ghetto chicks too,

Just vote for me on 'Get the Clip'3

It's quite crazy, pulled off before the jam

My album's out, some short promotion,

Than it goes to the top

'Bling' whore, it goes 'bling' everywhere whore, I drive away

Now I'm so big that I don't respect major labels at all

I have no respect for Virgin Records' men in suits

Look, monkeys, I'm in it and gladly make awesome rackets

Screw you all, I've got a deal with my boys now

And we screw everyone, I reach my goal with my boys

I don't need any reason to fuck and trash you

I'm allowed everything, I'm underground, independent

When I come, it goes 'bang'

No respect, no class, no idol

B-b-berliner snout

Ignorant, no reason

And I screw this country, the Berliner snout

No respect, no class, no idol

B-b-berliner snout

Ignorant, no reason

And I screw this country, the Berliner snout

I'm so bold, I slap you in the face in front of your dad, Snout

I'm so quick and slap you in the face in front of your dad

Here comes the third part, I'll write it shortly

And then I'm coming with the boys,

The underground will make you go under

I screw your career, I'm writing a third biography

I get my job as the best rapper, and rap in a tuxedo

No more Kripo4, call me your street A-Levels

And I make my money, despite my street A-Levels

I don't give a shit if Curse celebrates my music5

I'm ignorant and just listen silently to how the Tukke6 plays

I've earned my money and beware if you steal any from me?

Whore, I'm a banger, and with me there's no wrong note

I fuck every rapper without rimes, just with my finger

I'm a Berliner, my pose is the middle finger

Bass Sultan Hengzt is the name boldly following you

You'll never pass me by, I was rightly given success

No respect, no class, no idol

B-b-berliner snout

Ignorant, no reason

And I screw this country, the Berliner snout

No respect, no class, no idol

B-b-berliner snout

Ignorant, no reason

And I screw this country, the Berliner snout
