[Phone conversation: Cro & Psaiko.Dino]

“Carlo?”

“Psaai…"

“How much longer? Did you finish it?”

“Yup, just say: ‘Get cracking! Get cracking!’”

“Get cracking! Get cracking”

“I get you cracking, dude!”

“Everything is all there”

“Ok, perfect, be there soon!”

“You really have no idea… earlier when you were out, I swear …“

Intro:

There is a tree, above.

Let me out — too late

It’s over, it’s over.

Applaud, you idiot.

You will see, I am leaving because of me.

Well good, I’ll do it fast I hope it doesn’t hurt.

I am afraid… damn, does it hurt?

Already done? No, but hey, i’ve lived, yeah!

Part 1:

I have lived - I was on the planet

I had too much to tell, it is a huge privilege

And now? Now I die - I was buried somewhere

And went to hell, because I was never honest

Hey mom, I’m sorry, I promised not to speed

You know how I am, I often leave people waiting

Even though I wanted to hurry, that i’ll always be there cooking

Now I’m staring at an Oak tree, I am shocked by a wagon

Part 2:

Full moon - 7 euros

3 homies and a cheap bottle of vodka in a Volvo

A quite normal night with the boys, and which was so mundane, now is so important

Private jet - over here it’s quiet

The gang celebrates my millions and awards

People become animals for drugs, bitches & credit

I was in the thick of it but somehow alone

Seychellen - She runs into the sea, turquoise waves

I take pictures, the prettiest in the world

I see her hair on the moped without a helmet

and the fire-red sun shines on the waves in slow-mo

All the flims, we spend New Years Eve in Paris

and your smile burns in my thoughts while you sleep

and i promise myself, i’ll never really forget you

I’ve had enough of random bitches and nights in Berlin

Part 3:

I am there - I see clearly

My birth and my mom smiling through her tears -

hold me close my God, it’s warm.

I finally have a tooth

Four kids grin at the bet

Every VHS and cassette full of lovely things

Daddy, look here I can drive

All the girls think I suck

But ended up with Jessy in bed at age 16 and I promised to save her

But instead, I broke her heart several nights before dinner

I hope it tastes good.

Part 4:

The mercedes is fancy, athletic cut..
So wicked, but elegant and modest

every seat with leather embroidery

I grip it, close my eyes and drive across the lines

and yeah, man, I still remember it well

Back in the day in a Rover like a winner in the Hood

in the back seat, all stoned on the kush

It’s summer and the bass beats through your stomach up to the chest

Over-exaggerated passion and I feel like I should

Don’t give a fuck about the rest, they lie too much

Half of my adolescence on the train or the bus

i was practicing, but I didn’t want to on the stage— that’s nonsense

Time goes by so fast, where to with all the money?

Five-star hotels, unreasonably named

I’m constantly breaking records and goddamn shit,

I’m out of control in the orbit.

Part 5:

I can go, I’ve seen it all

I have all the motherfucking things that have always wanted to stop me

Sawed up, simply sawed up

I lost myself in material things, they are important to me

and therefore i was too late, always too late

And no, I didn’t do it all, I didn’t give a shit, dammit i lived.

I lived.

And when/if this was the last message from you, then I would say, I did it your you guys.

Outro:

Pre-Chorus:

Baby, I know, darkness is everything

And I'm feelin' so alone

Baby, I know your love but I would never know you-ou

But I'm feelin' so alone

Why you gotta lie to feel like you're so?

And in my head there's talking, alone

Chorus”

'Cause the leaves are brown

The leaves are brown

The leaves are brown

The leaves are brown

Pre-Chorus:

Send me a sign, send me a sign

Baby, I know, time must change everything

And I'm feelin' so hollow, hollow

Baby, I know

Why don't you think that I'm the one?

The way you've got a lot to love

But in my head -

Chorus:

'Cause the leaves are brown

The leaves are brown

The leaves are brown

The leaves are brown

The leaves are brown

The leaves are brown

The leaves are brown

The leaves are brown
