Bis Hier Lief Alles Noch Gut Lyrics (English Translation) – Asche, Kollegah

Bis Hier Lief Alles Noch Gut (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Part 1: Kollegah & Asche]
Kollegah opens with a cinematic vibe, looking out over the city at night with only his cigar glowing, setting a serious and reflective mood. He’s lost in deep thoughts about the past, comparing it to discovering something mythical, like Atlantis. Then he brings it back to the present, talking about how money has helped him rise, using images of wealth like a fancy high-rise and a Rolls-Royce to show where he is now. He calls himself a “German hustler” and compares his rise to that of a leader who made the people celebrate. He’s doing business on a high level, in contrast to other rappers he sees as lost or self-destructive, comparing their chaos to how Eminem used to go at people in his raps. He’s confident in his lyricism, saying his punchlines are extremely dense. He casually drops verses now and then, and even that makes others nervous. He talks about his gym routine and clean diet, using it as a metaphor for discipline and strength. He’s not chasing trends—he sticks to that old-school boom-bap style and compares himself to Jadakiss, a respected name in 90s hip-hop. Labels approach him with offers, and he’s so cool under pressure that he compares loosening up Asche to relaxing under a massage. He doesn’t get affected by fake people, brushing them off like shadowboxing. When it’s time to party, it’s all out, like pouring vodka. He keeps delivering pure rap in the studio and says there’s still space to grow, just like in a cosmetic surgery clinic. And if someone tries to fake love with him, he’ll clap back hard, referencing spraying Kournikova—tying glamour to threat—like the son of a superstar who’s also dangerous.

[Hook: Kollegah & Asche]
They’re saying that even if things fall apart, they do it with grace. Whether people love them or hate them, they keep pushing forward and it doesn’t hurt their status. They’ve been fighting alone, taking risks, and up to this point, it’s all been working out pretty well.

[Part 2: Ashes]
Asche comes in hard, starting with a bold statement that wherever he goes, he leaves a mark—his presence can’t be ignored. He uses an intense image of stepping on someone’s face with designer shoes to show his power and ruthlessness. He follows that with a violent, drug-fueled scene, saying the blood on the streets looks like rare gems. Then he compares his cold, tough attitude to Soviet soldiers, shaped by hard, painful days. He talks about his fame, saying ever since he stepped onto the scene, people have wanted him to play the role of a powerful crime boss, like in a movie. But he’s so unapologetically himself that even Hollywood has to wait for him. He jokes that even if there’s a red carpet, he’ll show up in casual clothes. He mocks those who try to play victim, saying he hears the tiniest violin playing in the background. Then he lists different names and roles he plays—Ash, Asche, the rap gangster boss—and describes himself as mentally chaotic, like a haunted castle. He wants no connection to other rappers who focus on selling merch. He compares his crew to a heavy metal band at a dark, intense festival. He and Kollegah are the most dangerous in the room, and their inner circle is shrinking. He ends with a familiar line—so far, everything has been going well.

[Hook: Kollegah & Asche]
They keep repeating that even if things don’t go perfectly, they handle it with confidence. Haters or supporters, it doesn’t affect what they’re doing. They’re standing alone, taking on everyone, and everything has been solid up to now.

[Part 3: Kollegah]
Kollegah starts this section by comparing his success to the “American Dream” story of Jeremy Meeks, someone who went from prison mugshot to modeling fame. He says it gets lonely at the top, like living high up on a mountain alone, but every time he raps, it still feels powerful, like a ceremony. He compares his flow to classic hip-hop legends like Mobb Deep, giving his verses a gritty, polished flavor. He mentions how everything around him, from his hotel suite to his rap delivery, is at a high standard. Then there’s a dark twist—he warns people not to test him, or they might find a horse’s head in their bed, referencing the Godfather movie, while tying it to luxury through Hermès. He admits he’s still street at heart, but now he’s made it into the upper class. He hangs with famous American stars, but doesn’t get starstruck or impressed. He brushes off female fans too, saying their attention is irritating. He’s constantly hustling, packed with business meetings he juggles like moving limo curtains. The paparazzi keep trying to snap him, and the flashbulbs going off around him are compared to lightning from ancient Greek gods, making his life seem larger than life.

[Part 4: Asche, Kollegah & Beide]
This part is all about dominance. They say there’s no point in debating—Kollegah is staying at the top no matter what. His position is locked in, unshakeable like something cast in stone. He’s a boss who shows no mercy, and no one can stop them. The only way to beat him is through music, like on Spotify, and even that’s not easy. Their opponents are left stunned, stuck in a trance while the glow of their cigar adds to the power vibe. Danger follows them quietly, like a weapon hidden in a suit. They wear their scars proudly, like tattoos, showing they’ve been through it all and made it. And once again, they repeat—they’ve been doing fine so far.

[Hook: Kollegah & Asche]
To close things out, they repeat their key message: even if things go wrong, they handle it like pros. No matter how people feel about them, they keep moving, and their reputation stays untouched. They’ve taken on the world alone and made it through, and everything’s still rolling along just fine.
