Narben der Zeit [English translation]

So much in my life has gone wrong

brother, much too often I felt like I was trapped

The kids at school laughed at me

They couldn’t understand it,

but I had a dream

I wanted to show them everything I had in me

‘cause no one could see how the hate had hurt me

so I often wrote my lyrics in the classroom

and I continued ‘cause no one got on to me ¹

Ey, at 17, I then dropped out of school,

otherwise, they would have thrown me out of school

for a life in favor of music; look, it was only rap

Pottweiler 45, I lived for this team: 144 ²

Brothers, we were united; the break came later,

just a matter of time, everything seemed so perfect

This life was a party

and then in January ’08 I saw her

[Hook]

The scars of time, please God give me strength

to free myself from this pain

Images of those days, they’re passing by

Even if you kneel down before me

I’ll never forgive you

My scars of time, my scars of time

[Part 2]

Just one look was enough for this journey

I felt so strong with her at my side

‘ was the first time I’d loved, brother; no joke

‘ would have never believed that there is such a thing

She gave me something that no one else had given,

but then out of the blue she wasn’t there anymore

I swear baby, you’ve shown me how people are

Love isn't worth anything; everything is fleeting

Anxiety, panic, phases; they hurt ³

A world shattered in me, you know?

No one there, who gave me support,

Everyday life cut the rope with my team ⁴

‘cause after a while, I saw how it all went wrong

Unstoppable, I picked myself up;

man, I was fed up with trusting these rats

I was alone, a criminal to the bone ⁵

Man, it didn’t last long until the cell door slammed shut ⁶

[Hook]

The scars of time, please God give me strength

to free myself from this pain

Images of those days, they’re passing by

Even if you kneel down before me

I’ll never forgive you

My scars of time, my scars of time

[Part 3]

Images, they pass by in the slammer ⁷

‘cause my mother sleeps during the day

or cries at night

Man, I’ve ripped my parents’ hearts out ⁸

but to this day, the pain is breaking them

this frustration was too much

Damn, man; I can’t handle it anymore

for every euro, I had to pay Haram money

Everything in life comes back, brother

Every day in the ghetto with the Kurds and Arabs

The drama of my life was hubbub and stress

Memories brother, back then it was perfect

the rap shit in my blood, the hate was deep within me

so I let it all out on the record that I wrote

in the pursuit of happiness no matter what has happened,

my life’s like a film, uncensored and real

Brother, do you see the color of sorrow

All my wounds from long ago are now the scars of time

[Hook]

The scars of time, please God give me strength

to free myself from this pain

Images of those days, they’re passing by

Even if you kneel down before me

I’ll never forgive you

My scars of time, my scars of time
