Oh, late at night when I was asleep
They came and took my money and my cars away
Oh, late at night when I was lyin' asleep
They came and took my house away
Now all I have left is a dream of my music
All I have left is this street
The street of my own is music
This music is my road
All I got left, all I got left
Is my music and it's street
Das Leben auf der Straße is' hart
Ich versuch, dass ich das Beste draus mach'
Und wenn ich ehrlich bin, ich habe kein' Plan
Was passiert is', es geschah über Nacht
Sie kamen herein, sie nahmen mein Heim, und
Alles, was mir danach noch blieb
War diese Straßen Musik, diese Straßen Musik
Okay, Worst-Case-Szenario
In ein paar Jahren wohn' ich vielleicht auf der Straße
so
Wie ein Obdachloser mit 'nem Einkaufswagen
Das ist gar nich' komisch, sag mir, wie konnte das denn bloß
Ausgerechnet mir passieren?
Ich war doch gerade so
Überdimensional groß wie Leute in Buffalos
War in den Charts hoch oben mit gut'm Tageslohn
Jetzt sitz' ich alleine hier, mit mei'm klein' Radio
Und ihr geht alle an mir vorbei und guckt so schadenfroh
Heißt das, es gibt nich' mal'n bisschen Mitleid zum Abendbrot?
Eben war noch alles super wie Mario
Plötzlich Game Over
, heute schlaf ich wo? Auf'm Bahnhofsklo
Doch egal, was soll's, ich bewahr' mein' Stolz
Siehst du die Chromfelgen, auf dem dieser Einkaufswagen rollt?
Randvoll mit Tüten, nicht von Aldi oder Lidl, alles Gucci oder Prada
Nicht der Inhalt, nur die Tüte, aber ey
Früher war ich ein Rapper, der viel gepennt hat
Heute bin ich ein Penner, der viel gerappt hat
Und noch immer rappt, denn ich bettel nich'
Ich steh' auf der Straße 'rum und ich battle dich
Wenn ich da 50 Cent für kriech'
Subway-Tüte
Isst du den Rest von dei'm Sandwich nich'?
Was ist in der Tüte vom Supermarkt drin?
Was geht mit der U-Bahnkarte?
Und was liest du denn eigentlich für'n Buch da grade?
Is nich' mal so, dass ich'n Eintrag bei der
Schufa
Glaub mir, man, die Story is' trauriger als 'ne Blues-Ballade
Irgendwas hat anschein'd mei'm Ruf geschadet
Was es war? Gute Frage
Ich kenne die Antwort nich', ich suche grade
Weil ich selbst 'ne Zukunft plane
Un' egal, was ich Falsches gesagt hab'
Is' wohl nix, was ich noch einma' in Zukunft sage
Glaub mir, das Showbiz is' hässlich wie
CDU-Plakate
NPD
DVU
Republikaner
Weil man ohne eine Wohnung nich'
Angestellt wird und ohne Arbeit keine Wohnung kriegt
Schaffen es die meisten Arbeitslosen nich' (obdachlos)
Diesen Teufelskreis zu durchbrechen
Keiner schenkt mir ein Lächeln
Und keiner will mit mir sprechen
Was hab ich bloß getan? Ich
Zweifel', grübel' und frag mich
Denn vor 'nem Jahr nich' ma' war ich euch noch übersympathisch
Und ihr wart höflich und artig, jetzt so zynisch und garstig
Ich weiß, dass ihr was Schlechtes über mich sagt
Ich fragen will, wissen was (was), ihr ignoriert mich und sagt nichts
Noch vor 'nem Jahr habt ihr getan als wärt ihr Brüder, doch wart's nich'
Das is' die schlimmste Strafe, besser ihr verprügelt und schlagt mich
Deshalb zieh' ich mein Fazit, den Grund gibt's nich' und gab's nich'
Meine Zeit war halt vorbei, man, so ist das im Showbiz
Dass du ein' Tag groß bist, nächsten Tag broke bist
Und obdachlos wirst, von oben nach unten in Rekordzeit
Lebe noch im Spotlight, plötzlich ist es vorbei, och nein
So'n Scheiß, wollte nie gefloppt sein
Dafür hab' ich jetzt viel frische Luft und hab mein' Kopf frei
Draußen auf der Straße hier, das is' echter Straßenrap
Keiner dieser andern' Rapper hier hat so ein hartes Bett, glaub mir das
Und alles was mir blieb, war diese Straßen Musik
