Vorbild [English translation]

BUSHIDO

I've become an example for the kids in the street

Ask them, they say 'Sonny black' raises me

Boy, that's strange

they rather listen to gangster rappers than to their so loved parents

I see, they can identify with me

suddenly teenagers want to be like us

'cause we live on the street, I would describe myself as a star, you can

run into me on the streets

I'm waiting, waiting and waiting on destiny

7 became my lucky number last year

watch the other rappers, tell me what they rap about, car bling bling and

expensive necklaces

My street doesn't have that

no one is interested in how rich or poor you are, show us how tough you are

do you see how hard it is?

These problems are the present, I'm speaking for the street and this every day

REFRAIN

I've never wanted to be an example

never an example for all the kids

I never agreed, I

just rapped about what happened, I can't help it that everyone here

is fascinated

I've never wanted to be an example, never an example for all the kids

I was the kid in law court

I only rapped about what happened

I say what's happened

my getto is understood

FLER

I've never wanted to be an example for the entire youth

I've been thrown out of three schools

still, kids say 'you are my example'

I'm the reason why every one since CCN* wants a Cordon Sport

criminality, I've had enough of this shit

but you learn here on the street, what school can't teach you

I put my blood in my lyrics, which I write for the street

They love me, 'cause I know what it's like when no one loves you

I've never told you 'do this', 'you that' or no one

I've did something in the street, got punished but I survived

'cause I had to run when I saw the blue lights (police)

and what I'm rapping that's entirely me, watch me

I just want to prove all that I can do something too

I used to be a nobody but now they want an autograph

The street raised me, here I am, here I'll stay

Frank White in real life, an example? I'm not sure

REFRAIN

I've never wanted to be an example

never an example for all the kids

I never agreed, I

just rapped about what happened, I can't help it that everyone here

is fascinated

I've never wanted to be an example, never an example for all the kids

I was the boy for law court

I only rapped about what happened

I say what's happened

my getto is understood

BUSHIDO

And in the employement office you get pushed aside

that's what it's like, daily, life is mean to you here

now you show me

why never alone?

because the truth now finally is set on paper

you don't want to hear how desperate people are here

I put, for them who are forgotten, a sign

I'm the first rapper that speaks out the misery

I'm not an example but Germany needs me

FLER

You need me as an example, back then hardly imaginable

Tell me it's my fault, the drugs, the dealers

the economy, the climate

man, look at yourself for once

what have you done, teachers, parents

The people, the street, the work that doesn't bring money

you and me, the shitty company

I don't know how it's happened but I know where it's going

Boy, soon it's to late, but believe me

REFRAIN

I've never wanted to be an example

never an example for all the kids

I never agreed, I

just rapped about what happened, I can't help it that everyone here

is fascinated

I've never wanted to be an example, never an example for all the kids

I was the boy for law court

I only rapped about what happened

I say what's happened

my getto is understood
