[Part 1]
Tip for the concierge, nobody knows which suite I’m in
Cell phone mode DND, only reachable by people I love
Except for my inner circle, only accountants count for me
Have room service bring a Cohiba to the pool water
Light the blunt, take a drag, slowly wafts
The smoke passes me like the past, breathe in
I’m thirteen again in front of the Yamaha mic
No food on the table, but pretend it’s Lent
Daddy’s gone, I have to be an adult for my little sister
Who has her money—, you know that line was real
When the two of us stood at the window, I promised you on New Year’s Eve: “One day our times will get better”
White as if it were yesterday, sitting alone in the basement
Cut the record into pieces like a butcher Butterfly knife
A snowy December
I hear you crying as a few men carry things out of the room because they might still be worth something
It was breathing in the smog
Dreaming during the day, but never closing your eyes at night because of trouble in your head
And panicking about cops when they patrol the block
No idea about the business yet
First time I puked from the cigar, heh, just to seem bossy
And they look stupid, I say: “Inshallah”
The only blond guy on the street who is definitely the first to sing like Nick Carter
Enemies became Big Brothers, gangster drama films
If we see each other again today, unfortunately there is usually plexiglass between us
Four guys in a Benz, gun under the middle seat back
Drugged by the devil’s stuff when we roll cigarettes
Given the first gigs, ticking away
Because never standing still is something between an Achilles tendon and a blessing from heaven
Never gave a fu*k about it, chart entry and blue lights
Mum takes a photo, I grin, Para is lying on the coffee table
First cover has the title “Kollegah” in a striking slogan
And I shoot for the stars until every magazine is used up
Until the submachine gun gives up, until mum is sitting in a house
And not a grey block wall or asphalt spoils her view
I swore to you that until I leave the world
I’ll book us a ticket out of hell, first class

[Hook]
GOAT, I’ve been on the road to success since day one
Because I went my own way like a lone wolf
GOAT, from prefab housing to golf club
I’ll beat your record sales by a long way
GOAT, they twist every word I say
In the end they’re just crying like a Castle dog
GOAT, Doberman, cigar, fur and gold jewelry
That’s what they call me today
[Part 2]
The rise is rapid, I smoke a blunt, I sleep while flying
Enjoy the silence, my whole family is sitting around me
Clouds and stars in the window, almost like paradise
If I were to die today, the best place would be the private plane
Which is gliding so quietly in the wind towards the desert metropolis
Drop the lines from my heart as if there were lie detectors here
For the real ones around me, I can count them on my fingers
I don’t even count the one who proves it for the trigger
Put my arm around my wife, her hair is jet black
I told you, you are my light until the end of days
The king’s queen, Mrs. Blume, my first love got my last name
You were with me when I was a nobody in the rap game
You were with me when friends became traitors
Because some companions sometimes endanger our path
When I thought: “Screw everyone, carry on, don’t trust anyone anymore”
I feel a hand on my shoulder, because what remains is ashes
I got your back until the end, my brother
Side by side between wolves like on the NBK cover
Smoke one last Havana with old label partners
Long way from self-made youngster to self-paid hustler
Long way out of our basement with Rizbo
Scratch every cent from my overdraft for a kebab
Grape mint goes on the lid, hangs in the shisha cafe
And I hope that you’ll soon have your smile back, Fav
Thanks to my bros, we came from the bottom all the way up
Cigars for the day ones, bullets for the Fake-Loves
Fu*k all the jealous people, still king, no one can stop me
And today Kollegah’s story is a single moment of glory
That’s the thanks to my fans, Austria, Alemannia, Switzerland
Ninefold gold, triple platinum, over twenty times the number one
Twenty years of loyalty, from the first rhyme to the top
And I thank you for everything, you are part of my story
These are cornerstones of the empire anchored in the blueprint
Take setbacks, get stronger, that is part of my virtue
Who needs echoes? These two are a movement
Soon the supermen will be making waves again like in my rooftop swimming pool, kid
Forty years of King, screw “Happy B-Day” serenades
This legacy is as infinite as the Medici legacy
Money flows into businesses, money flows into objects
Money flows, when I donate, I help charity projects
No matter how rich I am, I stay in balance
Between “down to earth” and “sky’s the limit” like a tightrope walker
Now it’s time for me to go, on top of the game
Where next goes, decides where the golf ball hits
Just drive still in a drop-top with a Bossner in my mouth
It’s like a video game, friends, the boss comes last
(Hey)

And who would have ever predicted this to me? False friends, they disappeared in the fog of the dark times
At some point, almost everyone is your mortal enemy (No lie)
Show me someone who has such a tough career path
I just wanted no one else to tell me what to do in life
Go out and hustle, showtime for twenty years
Then share the bread with the whole family
When has another era ever ended so gloriously?
When you’re rich and famous, everyone wants to be your friend
Believe me, every shine, it passes at some point
But I gave those words for eternity, records for eternity
They called him “Greatest of all time”, hey
No fight was in vain in the boss life
Because I ran and immediately stamped down the barriers
Last puffs of the cigar, they evaporate in the fog of the spotlight
And they called him “Greatest of all time”
