Gheddo [English translation]

[Eko Fresh]

Eko Fresh ghetto boss boy because it has to be,

Cologne chalk Hartz 4 come into my hood.

Come and see what it means to live in this block,

Where you need drugs or prostitution to get by.

Ay yo the general management president's in the Bronx,

Here by 16 you're either a dealer or a pimp.

Whether Viva or MTV I do it big,

E.K.O. Sound straight out of the HQ.

From Berlin to killer Cologne,

All I dream of is getting myself a villa.

Because I'm used to being stuck in shit,

And all I can do now is just keep rapping.

These lonely nights will make you a tough man,

Why doesn't Peter Hartz check out my street?

15 years of German rap but no one does it like Eko,

You all have rich parents and say Germany doesn't have a ghetto

[Hook]

Boy because I live in the ghetto,

Grembranx or Tempelhof.

It's Sony Black and Eko,

Throw your hands in the air.

And every day I pray,

Not to have to stay here.

Please Mister Peter Hartz,

Come to my hood.

[Bushido]

You didn't want to believe in me,

but I see things differently,

a lot of my friends have already found their way to jail.

This is my hood Tempelhof is so cool,

unless it's saying police, hands up.

It's showtime I'm coming into the ring,

the boy who used to go around the block dealing.

I'm from Berlin,

I've earned it,

this white powder here definitely isn't detergent.

I made a lot but now it's fully present,

I know that Peter Hartz has never been in this neighborhood.

Every day I see the girls who stand on the corner,

Come on by maybe you'll understand me and Eko.

It's 6 past 10 I'm getting in the 7 after,

it won't change anything but it makes me feel better.

After today you'll all listen to techno,

you all have rich parents and say Germany doesn't have a ghetto.

[Hook]

Boy because I live in the ghetto,

Grembranx or Tempelhof.

It's Sony Black and Eko,

Throw your hands in the air.

And every day I pray,

Not to have to stay here.

Please Mister Peter Hartz,

Come to my hood.

[Ecko Fresh]

That's the German dream Ersguterjunge gangbang,

Because I'm coming with Bushido and the pimp gang.

[Bushido]

Even in Grembranx I'm public enemy number 1,

The boy here who's signing your gravestone.

[Ecko Fresh]

That may be and I've known it since birth,

Come on we're meeting your boys at 1 o'clock.

[Bushido]

For you all it means is turn on the air conditioning,

for me it means I'm sitting in the dock again.

[Ecko Fresh]

And I take it like a man I'm Eko the thorn,

this is real concrete I'm in the ghetto now.

[Bushido]

Do you see these tattoos up here? Here's Electro Ghetto,

Sony Black I'm back on the track with Eko.

[Ecko Fresh]

What's wrong now we're showing how life on the block is,

For all my dead brothers God bless you.

[Bushido]

Yeah I box every toy and I send them right home,

Tempelhof, Gangsterflow, Skyline or Bordstein.

[Hook]

Boy because I live in the ghetto,

Grembranx or Tempelhof.

It's Sony Black and Eko,

Throw your hands in the air.

And every day I pray,

Not to have to stay here.

Please Mister Peter Hartz,

Come to my hood.
