Anhörung [English translation]

[The judge speaking]

Hearing of the defendant Hüseyin Köksecen.

You refuse to have a lawyer and are representing yourself.

Now, you have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in court...

Would you like to testify? (I testify.)

We have some charges and criminal charges that I would like to question you about.

[Judge]

Too many bodily harm charges, too few inhibitions.

[KC Rebell]

Where I come from we call it respect.

Too many assholes disowning their own heritage ("Babo"),

They snort a gram of coke and feel like Rambo.

They learned nothing about respect in their life.

I get out of the way, but don't look away when I see it.

I don't care, but don't try and make a stand,

Don't confuse their courtesy for weakness.

[Judge]

Your criminal history also includes armed robbery.

[KC Rebell]

What someone won't do when they're young, if they don't need cash!

And on top of that lacking approval in the hood.

But other men take away their dough, and that's shameful.

I was a piece of shit, today I understand that.

Like my father told me: "With age comes wisdom."

[Judge]

Your surroundings are dangerous, we know all the faces.

[KC Rebell]

Yea, they're gangsters, even you couldn't change that.

They aren't like you, their life is fucking hard.

So don't hold them to the same standards.

[Judge]

People say that you're a homophobe.

[KC Rebell]

I don't take the back door, if I can go in the front.

I don't give a shit, they should do it if they want to.

But Reb-Rebell is 100 percent dick in the pussy.

[Judge]

You're sounding very misogynistic.

[KC Rebell]

I am dominant, but misogynistic, no!

The problem is that today men and women have switched roles.

Too many men have given away their pride to their women.

That makes no sense, that is dirt and is nonsense.

For example, nothing is as great as my respect for my mom.

Her word is my law, her smile is my triumph.

Her life is peace, her tears are war.

[Judge]

Is it true that you poison the youth?

[KC Rebell]

Cliché, I simply grab a pen and I bleed.

I eat what's inside me, these crises in my stomach.

I open up my veins and let it out only for music.

They love me and think: "This dude is just like us".

[Judge]

Apparently the kids can identify with you.

[KC Rebell]

That's true, your kids shit on your Abi (Abitur: diploma),

They prefer me more and say: "That is our Abi!"

They only listen you me, they don't listen to you.

They scream Reb-Rebell, as if it was Hitler-German.

[Judge]

And you think that's good? What's commendable about that?

[KC Rebell]

Why not? I'm not a criminal-drug-guy

And neither a junkie like Sido, who misleads them,

Only sometimes angry, because it's shitty for me too.

I also have problems, I also have a family,

My ex is a cunt, I also have crises.

[Judge]

And why are rappers known for fighting?

[KC Rebell]

Sorry, but the other rappers make it so easy for me,

They live in small cities, and talk about the ghettos,

They talk without respect, their lives are lawless,

Everything monotone, talking in slang.

[Judge]

That's true, and what about with MoneyBoy?

[KC Rebell]

Huh, what happened with MoneyBoy, is that opinions differed,

But in some way my opinion was shitty.

Embarrassment in the form of millions of clicks.

For a short time my vision was so fucked up.

I felt so offended in the name of rap,

I had to show people, this dirt is so embarrassing.

My song sent him back to his hobby-mic.

This is rap, on the stamp is a copyright.

[Judge]

In Vienna you taunted, you said something.

[KC Rebell]

Yea, I was on stage and yelled: Raf Camora lives!

[Judge]

You're anti-everything and go against the system.

[KC Rebell]

I'm dying, but I'm not selling my soul to Shejtan.

Resist, I'd rather bleed every day,

Than be a puppet and do what one tells me.

I don't lie to myself, that would be honorless,

I am Rebell, I am the antithesis.

And if I don't sell anymore records, that sucks,

But I can say in front of the mirror: I was just.

[Judge]

Protocol is finished, as a citizen you have rights,

And also you have your boundaries and laws.

This you should respect and appreciate.

That's it, it's over, unless you want to add something.

Would you like to say anything else?

[KC Rebell]

Yea! Fuck the judge, only God can judge me!
