Johnny Fontaine [English translation]
Johnny Fontaine [English translation]
[Part 1]
You're a bike-riding member of the permanent underclass, my raps destroy
Careers like living in the jungle under the freeway overpass does
Nicknames like 'muscleman' fit me
Cause at night I'm standing in front of the door at Patrick1, freezing, yeah
I see Kitty Kat2 in skintight clothes
Instead of sucking or cooking she's bouncing like a pussy
I fuck Paul and the Carrots3 because you're a bunch of pussies
B-Tight's4 last meal is going to be the curbstone
187,5 I make the tires squeal
And if I see you in a Benz, then it's only in the side mirror
I fuck this scene
I'm no chauffeur, but people still talk a lot behind my back
Banger music, number one on the street
Rap crews are like prime numbers, only one is straight6
I fuck G-Hot's7 mother until he thinks I'm his father
And I'm so ripped, I use Laas8 as a sword
[Hook]
Before I was one myself, I sold9 the stars cocaine
I was a businessman, I had blunts in my portfolio
The other guys pay protection money, they're wannabes anyway
But not me, what? what? I'm not Johnny Fontaine10
They fall one after the other, it's Domino Day
All I need is a microphone and a protein shake
The other guys pay protection money, they're wannabes anyway
But not me, what? what? I'm not Johnny Fontaine
[Part 2]
I got stabbed a lot, but I always came out on top
So many holes, AOK11 suspects insurance fraud
Chakuzan12 he usually sleeps under bridges
And he was a cook, because pussies belong in the kitchen
Destroy yourself, you mosquito, I fuck MCs
I've got more pussies crawling all over me than a beat by Stickle13
I only train the muscles people see at the club
While y'all have to step back like a step-child14
The German Mr. T, professional swaggerer
And if I'm sitting in the train, it's only as a subway hooligan
Materialistic society, the one who has the gold is the one who gets to fuck
I make more mothers come than parent-teacher conference day
I've had to offer some sacrifices15, nowadays I get a standing ovation
Maskulin16 also offered a sacrifice-- as a rapper
My sound is a gangsta sound, I fill that bitch with a load full of shot
Yo' mama's like a hookah: you need to put some coals17 in to get something out
[Hook]
[Part 3]

1. I have absolutely no idea what this refers to. Farid Bang's hometown is Düssledorf. At first I thought this would be a club, so I translated it "in front of the door at Patrick," (assuming he was saying he's the bouncer or doorman there) but I can't find one called "Patrick" in Düssledorf. But this is an interesting link (http://www.sechel.it/erstes-treffen-der-duesseldorfer-buergerwehr), about an anti-muslim-sounding Guardian-Angles-ish organisation in Düsseldorf led by a guy named Patrick, in which case it might actually be "in front of Patrick's door."2. Could be a reference to this female rapper: https://www.facebook.com/kittykatmusik/?fref=nf3. No idea what this is referring to. DJ Karotte? https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Karotte4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-Tight5. No idea what this refers to. When I googled "187 motorcycle" I got some results about 300kph = 187mph, and an American motorcyle club called "187 Rydaz." Is he really saying he's driving a Mercedes-Benz W187? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W1876. Not really sure I'm understanding this, but 1 is a prime number and a straight line...7. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-Hot8. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laas_Unltd.9. Just guessing on the slang meaning of this word.10. I have no idea what this is referring to, unless it's Johnny Fontane from 'The Godfather'11. A German health insurance provider.12. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakuza13. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Stickle14. Literally "bake small rolls (a German idiom for 'presenting yourself humbly') like they do at the pizzeria (I guess he's talking about pizza hut dippers kind of thing).15. "Paid my dues," only that would spoil the pun in the next line16. Fler's (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fler) record label17. German slang for money18. I'm pretty sure these are all German rappers, producers, etc.
