Noch ein Glas

(Between Fast Life and the Headlines)

Come, pour me another glass
And I'll give you a bit of truth
Between Fast Life and the headlines
Believe me, you don't want to be a star

I'd take another drink
I can tell you what it's like to walk around the courtyard
Sometimes only the sky guides the events
Criminality probably means not seeing your children
Time stands alone, never still
And faster than the ice cream spoon melts
You only realize what you want when everything is gone
And that was never the front page of the newspaper
Can't explain it logically, but that's how I learned it
And shoot another round, dude, up to the stars
But I can't complain on a larger scale
Because even while I was away, the money multiplied

Come, pour me another glass
And I'll give you a bit of truth
Between Fast Life and the headlines
Believe me, you don't want to be a star
Come, pour me another glass
My lifestyle made me a public enemy
See the family only behind glass panes
Curtain falls, you're alone again

Smearing the walls in the cell here
Until the window only reflects yourself
No gang, no angels with me
Quickly learned how the world works behind bars
For every fake friend, there's a real enemy to go with
I admit, often I also sought out the fights
And suddenly the little kids want to be like you
It's not an image, I have this shit in my flesh and blood
Until the grave, every day is a challenge
On the hunt for material things
(I stopped asking questions)
(Because you don't see stars in the light anymore)

Come, pour me another glass
And I'll give you a bit of truth
Between Fast Life and the headlines
Believe me, you don't want to be a star
Come, pour me another glass
My lifestyle made me a public enemy
See the family only behind glass panes
Curtain falls, you're alone again

I seen it coming soon as I popped my first bottle
That's the life of a grimy
Been around the world, been around the block
That's what I consider real
I seen it coming soon as I popped my first bottle
That's the life of a grimy
I drink too much, that's when I don't give a fuck
Rappers, sit back, I'm 'bout to begin
