SHUT THE FUCK UP 01 NO. 04
Verse 1 (Alpa Gun):
Ever since I can remember
I've wanted to be a good person
So that people would like me
And not remain a stranger.
I have sought my fortune
but I've only had bad luck.
The friends I've helped
They've only bad-mouthed me too.
I ignored it,
Everyone here thinks of themselves.
Here on the street they betray you on purpose!
I did nothing wrong
And I was never out of touch
Only when I was in trouble
...I pulled out my gun.
All you did was lie,
But I paid attention
To get me down
You made it all up
For every little thing
You blamed me
But I've learned to fight
And to live with patience!
Refrain (Sido):
When you have to struggle all day
to survive,
when happiness and justice pass you by,
and your hope incinerates,
on the pyre,
then you must keep running,
you must keep running!
If you have to struggle all day long
to survive,
when happiness and justice pass you by,
and your hope incinerates,
on the pyre,
show that you are a man, my friend,
you must keep running!
Verse 2 (Alpa Gun)
With time I've understood
What life is really like
You are, what you have
If not, everyone's against you!
You don't realise
They take advantage of your good qualities
There comes a time
And then it's gonna look shitty for you!
When you're surrounded
They're watching and they're just standing by
They're beating on you
And the rest do nothing about it!
My fate was mean
I've been tripped up,
I was stabbed,
the case was dropped!
And with the police
so many things happened.
Even when I didn't do anything,
they harassed me!
I didn't want to be a suspect,
who wants to go to prison?
I just want to live in peace!
Peace and justice!
Refrain (Sido):
When you have to struggle all day
to survive,
when happiness and justice pass you by,
and your hope incinerates,
on the pyre,
then you must keep running,
you must keep running!
If you have to struggle all day long
to survive,
when happiness and justice pass you by,
and your hope incinerates,
on the pyre,
show that you are a man, my friend,
you must keep running!
Verse 3 (Alpa Gun):
The world is unstoppable
and it's spinning!
Only death is certain
Believe me
But life is not!
Someday the time will come
And then I'll say 'Goodbye'!
Someday I'll be too old
and then I'd rather go!
The old crew,
A new label!
We've thought of something.
A new car, a new mobile phone,
Look, we've done it too!
You don't have to babble at me now,
I don't want to talk to you
Cause you're all liars
I can't live with you!
You have to keep running!
Fuck the envious people outside!
I know that
I know you wouldn't buy my record
You're a bunch of suck-ups!
I never wanted anything from you!
Now you want to be my friend
To ask me for money
I've learned
That people are as greedy as animals
You haven't managed to change me
I'll stay the way I am!
And when I see you
You act as if nothing had happened,
There's so much I'd like to say
But you're not worth it!
Refrain (Sido):
When you have to struggle all day
to survive,
when happiness and justice pass you by,
and your hope incinerates,
on the pyre,
then you must keep running,
you must keep running!
If you have to struggle all day long
to survive,
when happiness and justice pass you by,
and your hope incinerates,
on the pyre,
show that you are a man, my friend,
you must keep running!

Foreigner
[Part 1]:
I'm born here and will grow old out here
I am a Turk with indefinite residence
You needn't look at me like that, homie[?], just because I've got black hair
It wasn't easy here, it was 26 hard years
And our parents, canim, needed the money
They've worked hard here and built a new world
Dad was hassled as if he was a terrorist
Therefore today I live where the toughest ghetto is
Where only Kurds, Russians, Arabs and Turks live
Where people must fight for a small salary
You are well off up there but down here we have a rough ride
For you we are wogs but still must join the army
I am not fascist - I've just grown up like this
When I'm in East Germany, I also know some skinheads
We're at home here, it's about time you get it today
Almost everyone of us on the street's got a German passport
[Hook]:
I'm a foreigner but I'm born here
Too many are in prison, only a few have become something
I'm a foreigner, canim, it's not been easy for us here
The street in the ghetto hasn't made anybody rich
I'm a foreigner but Berlin is my home
My home, my city, sometimes you also get your face smashed here
I'm a foreigner but for you I'm a wog, canim,
but still I'm here and live under the German flag
[Part 2]:
There are many gangs here and too many daredevils
Yes it's true, most of them are foreigners
Look, every other one in our district has got a criminal record
You act like a gangster but nobody in your village is tough
In the past everything was different, I've also stolen
And some good friends of mine have been deported
I know one has no reason and no right to attack someone
But they'll always find a reason to turn you in
And today we beat up each other
Much has changed - it's not like 30 years ago
Back then we stuck together and were just against nazis
Now you've got trouble with people you see every day
But in my district we're like a family
I like living in Schöneberg because I love everyone here
I can't go away because I need this place
Look, Berlin is my home
Berlin is our home
[Hook]:
I'm a foreigner but I'm born here
Too many are in prison, only a few have become something
I'm a foreigner, canim, it's not been easy for us here
The street in the ghetto hasn't made anybody rich
I'm a foreigner but Berlin is my home
My home, my city, sometimes you also get your face smashed here
I'm a foreigner but for you I'm a wog, canim,
but still I'm here and live under the German flag
[Part 3]:
You have to believe me, dealing with you isn't easy
You throw us all together and say we're all the same
I often fought, but my brother didn't want to be like that
But still he can't go to any club because of his looks
Turks kill for honour and also go on a caper
And some Germans rather have sex with little children
Not all of us would deal in coke or heroin
I mean, I also don't say every German is mental and paedophile
It's like a vine with big and small grapes
If one is bad it doesn't mean that all are rotten the same
We had to fight and never wanted anything from you
You should just know, we're also a part of the German people
[Hook]:
I'm a foreigner but I'm born here
Too many are in prison, only a few have become something
I'm a foreigner, canim, it's not been easy for us here
The street in the ghetto hasn't made anybody rich
I'm a foreigner but Berlin is my home
My home, my city, sometimes you also get your face smashed here
I'm a foreigner but for you I'm a wog, canim,
but still I'm here and live under the German flag
