Illuminati [English translation]

To hell - it is Prince PI1,

You may be Gs2, but I am a genius.

You may be great, but I am the measure,

You may be flush3, but I am the glass.

You may be strong, stark, WACK4,

Berlin is like the night sky: everyone here is a star.

"Give me an AK5 assault rifle!" -

And you come around6 as if you were leaning into a corner.

You are uninformed and uniformed,

While behind me, a uni is formed.

Whether campus or Kotti7, whether Alex8 or Kuhdamm9

My sound connects the city like the subway10.

Intricate tunnels, there's a rustling in the dark,

It's a jackpot, like "we've found the checkout".

With my mike I jump the beat, make it sound black11

Highest acclaim; we chill out on laughing gas.

2x

Soon it will be midnight; I wake up,

Choose a gun from the gun locker,

The mass starts, they all freak out

Welcome to the party of the Illuminati

Rappers individuate themselves in wannabe intellectual

Blog entries, which they really have the cheek to post on the Internet,

Rather than dispose of them as of broken paper dolls12,

I coat13 your mentors with anti-gig.

You and I, we are antipodes, like panthers and antilopes

And you are calcified14 like the beards in the land of Goths.

My extremely sensitive nose perceives your sickly odour,

As you see, I need to just take my old style from the closet And to dust it; the only stale15 thing I have are the soles of my shoes,

While you are beyond the date of expiration16; even if I hit the wrong notes -

I meet the right people, and I'm not todether only with my likes.

You say "Hi!"17 and I see dolphins waving hello to a shark.

I'd rather dive headfirst18 into a pool of swimming shit

Than interlinking my site with my enemy

P-Pollos19, to R-I-N-Z Pollos, you have no gender

Colossus

Wack Polloss, no intellect - Tollos20, Bollos21.

2x

Soon it will be midnight; I wake up,

Choose a gun from the gun locker,

The mass starts, they all freak out

Welcome to the party of the Illuminati
