Es Kann Beginnen [explizit] [English translation]

Verse 1:

You want to ban the songs

Look, I’m broadcasting live from the pirate radio station

I’m creating a blood bath

and trust me, gangsters bathe here.

My lifestyle is like a ticket to jail

give me a case of schnapps for my birthday

Yeah!

Do you really think I’m restraining myself, you dumbass?

Get back, you fool, I won’t (stand) here and talk to filth.

What’s up, you stupid hoe, German rap is mass murder. 1

The Amis won’t let me in, I’ve lost my passport 2

You’re like Elton John; you came into this world

gay,

Men have cum in your ass for money.

I’m controversial and the whole country is scared.

Your girlfriend’s getting married to the dick

at the registrar’s office. Yeah!

I’m crucifying you, boy; you’re smoking a peace pipe,

take another drag then, before I throw you up against

the display case.

Get out of my sight,

I only mean that amicably,

and you can keep on looking for my scruples.

Chorus:

Can you see the sun?

I’ll describe how the sun

just fades here behind my buildings, 3

you whores.

We’re climbing onto the roof again,

this view looks out over the city

and I only say, dear God: night’s approaching.4

Can you see the squad cars?

Tell me, can you see how they drive around the blocks?

And they think we’re blind.

We’re climbing down from the roof again,

and prison is (there) waiting for us.

And I only say, dear God, it can begin.

Verse 2:

The sun sets

and the whole town turns anthracite 5

and everyone knows that you work a side job as a

transvestite. This is like speed, the espresso (that) keeps 6

me fit. Your behavior here breaks the neck of the ghetto.

Yeah!

Who’s getting the bat out; tell me, who’s man enough?7

Should I quickly describe myself? Ghetto, arrogant, and

smart! Besides that, I’m the epitome of bull-headed.

CL AMG, this is Gangster rap, you whores! 8

Yeah!

I’m laughing at you, you gangsters on a weight bench

I’m headed to your place and I’ll torch your gay leather 9

jacket.

There’s nothing to discuss here, ‘cause I’m the topic.

What’s this diploma? I’m fucking your teacher.

Join the fight club!

Come on, we’re expecting you!

There’s something like fish every evening for your father

‘cause your shit family stinks,

you’ve got the jitters,

you’re (the one who) entered this beef with me.10

Chorus:

Can you see the sun?

I’ll describe how the sun

just fades here behind my buildings,

you whores.

We’re climbing onto the roof again,

this view looks out over the city

and I only say, dear God: night’s approaching.

Can you see the squad cars?

Tell me, can you see how they drive around the blocks?

And they think we’re blind.

We’re climbing down from the roof again,

and prison is (there) waiting for us.

And I only say, dear God, it can begin.

Verse 3:

It can begin,

so go barbecue with your gay friends.

You street bums gather dough to fill up your cap. 11

I’ll fuck your ego trip, scram with your bloodsuckers12

Your friends go to college, mine are snorting coke!

You’re credible,

get me something to snort, 13

you want to rap from it, now you go get the coke.

I’ll promote you to the hospital.

Yeah, and now I’ll publicly speak out on the Kerner Show14

that I beat some bitches every now and then.

Gangster rap’s highest level,

that’s the rhythm of the street,

load my clip, Bizzy makes the beat. Yeah! 15

Man, we grew up between these flashing lights 16

Do you want to fuck me, or threaten me?

Yeah, then have the balls to do it.

I’ll go to your place, to all your places and I’ll settle it,

Fuck everything, and fuck your saw blade.

Who can keep up with me? 17

I’m fucking your whole retard club,

doesn’t matter how you retards look.

Chorus:

Can you see the sun?

I’ll describe how the sun

just fades here behind my buildings,

you whores.

We’re climbing onto the roof again,

this view looks out over the city

and I only say, dear God: night’s approaching.

Can you see the squad cars?

Tell me, can you see how they drive around the blocks?

And they think we’re blind.

We’re climbing down from the roof again,

and prison is (there) waiting for us.

And I only say, dear God, it can begin.
