Gheddo Reloaded [English translation]

[Eko Fresh]

I was almost a millionaire and complete broke at the same time

That is the reason why I offered no one my hand

No matter what I achieve, I'm staying myself.

Man, I got into this business as if I was a little child

For 13 years I am trendy

But I rather talk to the toilet attendant then to the other stars.

A man of actions, the ghetto formed me like this

The street that loves me has brought this Eko on to the throne

Represent cologne (German city) , you idiot, cologne (Kolle is how locals call cologne) what's up.

They say: "Eko, you really went through hell"

But it the end it ended well for you

I say: I was never at the bottom, the ghetto caught me.

So a thousand time thanks to my true fans

They stand by me and piss on the bad bands

Back then my granddad got on the dirty truck

Look at us now, we are Kanaks (people of Turkish origin) who have something

[Eko Fresh]

No matter how rich I am

The ghetto stays inside me

Because it is what defines me

From NRW (Nordrhein-Westfalen) to the capital

No matter how far I come

I stay down to earth

Because the legend lives

So raise your hands, yeah

[Sido]

Grew up between trash and concrete

Yes I also originate from the ghetto

A life on the wrong track, different than the norm

Despite that this time has shaped me

And I walk forwards, constantly further to the north

This Sido (rapper name) from yesterday is no more

He almost ruined my life with his actions

But no, I go on, don't worry

Today I am far away from the mess

Today I show my better side

I say it like it is, Spaiche (other rapper) was my rescue

And now I hope the same for Eko you know ?

But no matter how far we are

The ghetto remains

Also now that I have a home

The ghetto is what defines me, yeah

[Eko fresh]

[Eko Fresh & Sido]

It goes from Cologne-Porz (area in Germany) up to Märkisches Viertel (region in Berlin)

Out of the ghetto, today business in penthouse

You live in the hood, that does define you as a human

Because you only need a little bit of talent for that shit.

But it feels good when you buy a Mercedes Benz

Also one for your brothers and cousins, don't forget them.

Because you are a high ranking employee

And now there is no longer that much stress

You think you are better, but you're not.

From the ghetto to the cinema (Eko starred in a movie) Eko and Sido

Today I make money, Lecko mio (song), look at this

I had nothing but I'll never forget where I'm at.

Because you can't get the ghetto out of my heart, yeah

Back in the hood my bed was made out off old paper.

Today I look at the top gun (expensive watch), 30 minutes till 4

Today I notice, I have waited for rescue in vain

Because you can get the boy out of the hood

But you can't get the ghetto out of the boy

[Hook: Eko Fresh]

[Outro: Eko Fresh](x2)

No matter how rich I am

Because it is what defines me

From NRW (Nordrhein-Westfalen) to the capital, yeah

Now matter how far I'll get

Because the legend lives

So raise your hands, yeah
