Mama hat gesagt (feat. Sido & Esther Graf)

My mom said, if I want, I can become anything (Hey, hey)
So I became a bit crazy
I was only in school to annoy everyone
And today everyone sings along
My mom said, if I want, I can become anything (Hey, hey)
So I became a bit crazy
I was only in school to annoy everyone
Damn, we're lucky, my mom said—

I should be good, since day one (Hey, hey)
Put every coin in your piggy bank
But I never wanted to be normal, it must be a real pain
Will be on my gravestone someday
Mom said—, blah-blah, but apparently (Hey, hey)
I haven't listened to anyone since I was little
I should become a policeman, but that would be nonsense
I'd have to arrest myself all the time (Haha)
I should become a teacher, I should think about the future (Hey, hey)
But as a teacher, I'd skip school
Sorry, man, I'm damaged
I don't care what everyone else says

My mom said, if I want, I can become anything (Hey, hey)
So I became a bit crazy
I was only in school to annoy everyone
And today everyone sings along
My mom said, if I want, I can become anything (Hey, hey)
So I became a bit crazy
I was only in school to annoy everyone
Damn, we're lucky, my mom said—

Listen to your heart, boy, know your worth, boy (Hey, hey)
Go your way and you can learn from mistakes, boy
You're an astronaut, reach for the stars, boy
Only you set the limits, screw geography
Mom said: Let things take their course (Hey, hey)
She said: Boy, let your feelings out
And that's why I always come in like a wrecking ball
That's why I sometimes overshoot the mark
I know my teacher would have wanted it differently (Hey, hey)
But what can you do? Today the whole wall is full of gold
Mom said I'm made of different stuff
And today she says: Boy, Mom is proud

My mom said, if I want, I can become anything (Hey, hey)
So I became a bit crazy
I was only in school to annoy everyone
And today everyone sings along
My mom said, if I want, I can become anything (Hey, hey)
So I became a bit crazy
I was only in school to annoy everyone
Damn, we're lucky

I told my mom: Mom, don't worry (Hey, hey)
No one has died from building a bit of shit
Mh, I don't know why I make it so hard for myself
I know it's hot and I touch the hot plate again
Dancing out of line, even though I can't dance (Hey, hey)
Always talking as if I were in the Chancellery (Blubb-blubb)
You only make me shut up with duct tape
My therapist says I'm as crazy as a Ballermann (Boom)
I have no time for growing up (Hey, hey)
Life is hard, but I take it lightly
I'm annoying, loud, and cheeky
I'm not sorry that I'm not sorry

My mom said, if I want, I can become anything (Hey, hey)
So I became a bit crazy
I was only in school to annoy everyone
And today everyone sings along
My mom said, if I want, I can become anything (Hey, hey)
So I became a bit crazy
I was only in school to annoy everyone
Damn, we're lucky, my mom said—
