Intro [RAOP] [English translation]

Tell me, who’s in the mood for the beat,

doesn’t write lyrics,

steps up to the mic, raps one, sounds fresh, huh?

Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro…

Tell me, who’s actually been long since ready,

but who’s just now getting started

after 1 - 2 takes, direct in the charts, huh?

Cro, Cro, Cro…

Tell me, who’s in the mood for the beat,

doesn’t write lyrics,

steps up to the mic, raps one, sounds fresh, huh?

Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro…

Tell me, who’s actually been long since ready,

but who’s just now getting started

after 1 - 2 tapes, direct in the charts, huh? ¹

Cro, Cro, Cro…

Again a year has passed, again a date has passed

I’ve exceeded expectations once again

again a year has passed, and once again

none of the others were there to stop

that guy, ha!

No, I don’t think about it, I’m still broke, haven’t

saved a cent.

No Benz ready to go, no Bentley’s there

but if what’s happening here continues, then by about this time next year, (hmm) I’ll be ultra rich,

but I still don’t give a

shit about the numbers.

I will never do anything

or say anything for it, which I don’t like.

Ay, let me out, wake up, mask on, fits perfectly,

Super Hero; I’ll go to your ‘hood, everyone’s freakin’

out.

‘Cause he’s the guy, who calls a spade a spade,

and never minces words ²

and everyone who still stands in his way will

lay down like a dog right after the track.

And that has a reason, what’s that for rap; this is art

It’s colorful, it’s done smoothly, and please tell me who’s again in the mood for the beat…

Tell me, who’s in the mood for the beat,

doesn’t write lyrics,

steps up to the mic, raps one, sounds fresh, huh?

Cro, Cro, Cro, Cro…

Tell me, who’s actually been long since ready,

but who’s just now getting started

after 1 - 2 takes, direct in the charts, huh?

Cro, Cro, Cro…

I easily rattle off all my lyrics and

sentences off the cuff. ³

None of you can really imagine

whether Cro would have put forth effort, ha!

Nothing to think about, I don’t feel like hitchin’

a ride home ⁴

Chop chop, I’ll pack my stuff and leave your

club, then on about 1000 hands ⁵

Skibi dibby dib dib badab bab and Savas asks ⁶

what’s up here

Caught again with the secretary; ay, we’re just

copyin’.

It’s slowly getting’ tight.

All of my fans are afraid and run

‘cause I’m throwing a grenade in the crowd just to

see if Bruno really

catches it for you. Booom!!!

And if you still don’t know this boy,

he’s bringin’ the house down here! ⁷

You didn’t miss anything, just starting, this album here will be big, and that has a reason, what’s that for rap,

this is art.

It’s colorful, it’s done smoothly, no more tweaking,

close enough

period!
