Fata Morgana [English translation]

Chrous: Xavier Naidoo

You see the splinter in the eye of your brother

but your the splinter in you own eye you don't see

Never allow yourself to judge someone else

because someone else judges you then

You see the splinter in the eye of your brother

but your the splinter in you own eye you don't see

Allow yourself to judge someone else

because someones else will judge you then

Verse 1: KC Rebell

You want to know how many of those sick troubles life will show you

Standing on the edge of the street for an hour is enough

Mohamed, who hates jews, Peter, who hates muslims

The hate between the two parties is sick

Kevin cheats on his gf with Aisha, but he's aware

when he's wife gets away with an foreigner

the fault is the same, but for him it's unfair and tough

because deep inside him he wears a spot which doesn't love us

They find our belly dancers amazing, they eat our food

but won't to scream "Foreigner out!" secretly

When Ali breaks someones nose in the metro

Mehmets studies at the University are immediately dubious

For some people, who make vacation in our countries

we are just "Kanacken"* in their countries

and who says, this text is stupid

I pay 6-digit taxes

A question, dude, who's Germany now?

Bridge 1: KC Rebell

Even when you look around

and see people going crazy

you should rather swim in your own problems

No matter what you see, what you live, what you are, what you think

Just let it stay in your head

Chrous: Xavier Naidoo

You see the splinter in the eye of your brother

but your the splinter in you own eye you don't see

Never allow yourself to judge someone else

because someone else judges you then

You see the splinter in the eye of your brother

but your the splinter in you own eye you don't see

Allow yourself to judge someone else

because someones else will judge you then

Verse 2: KC Rebell

You want to know how many of those sick troubles life will show you

Standing on the edge of the street for an hour is enough

When somewhere a bullet hits and create blood

I have nothing to do with that, my friend

not everyone from this bunch of shit is like us

These are just people who falsely interpret the religion

Their psyche is broken, they allegedly believe in Allah

They lie so much, but swear on the Koran

Whether sunnites, shiites, alevi, we're all the same

Separate the people again from each other?

Thanks, no

Do I hate any race: No

but when it comes to suppression I'm the first one

who throws a stone

Some peace you only get with weapons and war

Her Biji I'm a grandchild of Saladin

and everyone who says this text is stupid is a grandchild

of Hitler and who thinks differently, thinks like a whacko

Verse 3: Xavier Naidoo

Living in the age of deceit, that's how our world looks like, KC

Maybe we didn't deserve it another way

Maybe we have to go on our knees

and pray "God, don't make it worse

let us stay straight in front of you one day

and see no more suppression

because it can't go on like this anymore"

Verse 4: KC Rebell

Every pain, every hate, every sorrow

Every luck, every tear, every pride makes us

the same

Every anger, every solace, every frustration makes us the same

You shouldn't only respect, no, you have to

Maybe I'm not like you and don't suit you as a muslim

Maybe your opinion slights me

Just let it stay in your head

Even if there is a person who thinks like you

looks in the mirror, can't recognize himself, just like you

runs away from his own problems, just like you

filled with burning hate inside, just like you

wastes his own potential, just like you

so am I in the end of the day also just a human, just like you

So don't ever differentiate again

No matter, if black, white, poor, rich, hard, soft, don't care

It doesn't matter, what person you have

the respect stays the same, man

Bridge 2: KC Rebell

Even when you look around

and see people going crazy

you should rather swim in your own problems

No matter what you see, what you live, what you are, what you think

Just let it stay in your head

Just let it stay in your head

Just let it stay in your head

Just let it stay in your head

Just let it stay in your head
