[Intro: Kollegah & Asche]
First give me a hi-hat plus a beat
Okay, you want the whole thing wrapped up a bit grimey like Ice-T and Pac?
Well, I would have preferred it to be N.Y. style
So like B.I.G. and Puff? No, not so vibey, make it rough
Okay, I know what you mean, I cut out a nice part from a dusty 90s jazz live band record
and shuffled it into the timestamps
Okay, give me another kick that accompanies the s*it like a bodyguard
And a snare that claps like Thai hands
Maybe a sliding bass too – nice, that fits! Watch out, the start is going to be crazy

[Part: Kollegah]
I spit lines into the skyscraper shadows, don’t waste any time
Make this record as sharp as a circular saw blade, I
Rocked every city live, went triple gold and platinum
Got the main mission complete, now side quests are being done
It’s T-O-N-I, yeah, he’s operating the submachine gun
With a delicacy as if Beethoven was playing (Mhh)
And you’re lying around like a lifeless animal
You side quest, my appearance means the game over screen for you
Because I’m coming to shoot you in the hood, kid
Because the boss has fallen into old patterns like art lovers, b!tch
That’ll get tongues flicking, b!tch, it’ll be entertaining bragging
On the red carpet I’ll lead Michi along on a dog collar (Yes, [clear?])
What I do in my free time is pretty nice
I spit lines and then smoke Shindy at the end of the day
The little man from Bietigheim, interview at double speed
I fall asleep peacefully after three minutes
Already three disses, he can’t stop (Oh)
With his toothpick arms (Oh) like a chestnut man (Oh)
The right words to describe his puny body
are: Little rascal, tall like a triple cheeseburger
Hey, the boss (boss), between all the business and hustle
I easily make a fool of a midget on the side
Hey, punching bag, have you got it now, you idiot? I can even win a beef without making a diss track
After just a little laughter, your image is in the s*it
You are now what used to be Laas Unltd. was (Hey)

Tze, he wants to get into the upper class
But that doesn’t work, you don’t have to be a math whiz for that, no
One look at your ridiculous dirty career is enough
A dynasty born in the shadow of mountains of debt
Fake-ass player, only lying since NWA
From Shindy to Shwindy all that’s missing is a W, hey (Hey)
I’m letting the shots rain down (Hey) like in trenches (Hey)
Yallah, come out of the hotel (Ja), we need to talk
You’re not on the same level as me, hobbit
I’m in my late thirties, a rap legend, super-rich and my body is shredded
And I only rap as a hobby, screw streaming and playlists
Compared to real estate, these are minimal amounts
This whole scene, including the Greeks, have toxic female energy like Shirin and Helene
“That could be an excellent opportunity for a selfie “They whisper when they annoy me while I’m eating in a restaurant
Check out the Renaissance gardens at the Big Boss’s residence
Artificially laid out like German TikTok promo beefs (Ugh)
Last year was German Vita, this year an aggressive tone
Zack, no more la Vida loca like in the Capuchin monastery
Masculine poser, yeah, yeah, grin like the Joker
Don’t sniff coca, but spit poisonous like a cobra again
Every punchline hits a power pole like lightning, constant high, kid
It’s T-O-N-I who stands out with his aura
You keep an eye on me, I saw it very clearly (Yeah-Yeah)
But everyone has ups and downs, I have to torture myself sometimes too (Yeah)
For example, you have no idea what it’s like to peel yourself out of the Lambo with over a hundred kilos of fighting weight
But whatever (It doesn’t matter), in any case, hey, look at this scene, Aller
Hey, watch out, hey, Ufo and his boyfriend are wearing banners
I show up in Berlin and the trans couple runs
Calm down, don’t panic, you b!tches
I’m not giving any Fs, man, that’s none of my business
No stress, you all do what you want, mic check
I’ve been through everything from cancellation to platinum or gold
Stay fresh, do a few more side quests, write tracks, high-tech
Last album, so don’t talk my ear off
Stop your b!tching, off to the doghouse (Go)
Toni style, road to Still King, a mixtape full of unbridled spitballing
Back to Underground like 8 Mile
The last real one in a world full of AI

[Pre-Hook: Kollegah]
Underground like 8 Mile
Last realer in a world full of AI
Underground like 8 Mile
Last realer in a world full of AI
[Hook: Kollegah & R. Kelly]
Go-Getta, I was already looking as a petty criminal
Far beyond the box, OG
And from today on only side quests (Go, go, go)
Side quests (Go, go)
From today on only side quests (Go, go, Getta)
You are a (You are a) side quest

[Post-Hook: R. Kelly]
The life of a (Ayy) Go Getta
The life of a (Ayy) Go Getta

[Outro: Kollegah]
Okay, ash, brother, pay attention now
Build up the beat like opera arias and
When the day comes, I’ll stand up wearing a crown
Hey, the king who was declared dead
Last man standing like Homo sapiens in biology graphics, hey
Never went under in the whirlpool of success
Now it’s time to pull yourself together like a pack of wolves
Skillset is a goldmine
02.08, last audience to the cheers of the people
Still King
