(CHORUS: KRS-One)
Just throw your hands in the air
And wave `em like you really DO care
And if you ready to expand your mind tonight
Somebody say ... nothin
(KRS-One)
DJ Tomekk, headnoddin `til you have no neck
German flavor y`all go check
Boogie Down Berlin
On the outer bounds swervin`
Torch
(Torch) (German version)
Es ist schon seltsam
Schau ich mir diese Welt an
Denk an Probleme die
Durch das Geld kamen
So viele Leute haben Hip Hop ausgebeutet
Ich bin halt `n Typ dem die Scheisse viel bedeutet!
Frederik Hahn, Heidelberger Haitianer
Wart auf meine Zeit mit der Geduld eines Dalai Lama
Kдmpf mit der Kraft der Doberlet Malia, Chatti in Ghana
Achte auf dein Image, aber vergiss nie dein Karma!
Manchmal fragt ihr euch ob Gott verrueckt ist
Aber was wollt ihr tun, wenn Gott zurueck ist?
Ich denke viel nach, Torch Mann wird aelter
Blauer Samt, und morphogenetische Felder
Hip Hop in Deutschland, ich frag mich wer bellt da?
Wisst ihr morgen noch, wer heute euer Held war?
Torch Mann, KRS-One und Rene
am Mikrophon, und DJ Tomekk and den Machine
Rhymes galore, rhymes ins ohr, yesh yesh y`all
Und der Beat bleibt raw
* [Torch: english translation]
It`s so strange
When I look at this world
Think of the problems
That came with the money
So many people exploited Hip Hop
Well, I`m a guy who that shit means a lot to!
Frederik Hahn, Haitian from Heidelberg
Waiting for my time to come with the patience of a Dalai Lama
Fight with the power of the Doberlet Malai, Chatti in Ghana
Pay attention to your image, but never forget your karma!
Sometimes y`all ask yourselves if God is crazy
But what ch`all wanna do when God is back?
I think a lot, Torch Mann gets older
Blue velvet, and morphogenetic fields
Hip Hop in Germany, who is barking?
Will you know tomorrow who your hero was today?
Torch Mann, KRS-One and Rene
On the microphone and DJ Tomekk on the machine
Rhymes Galore, Rhymes ??, yesh yesh y`all
And the beat remains raw
Chorus (repeat twice)
(KRS-One)
Come one
We represent G.O.D., Not P.O.P. (uhh)
Knowledge Reign Supreme (word) you know me (yeah)
You heard of me, all through Kreuzberg (word)
With long and short verbs, words that exploit nerds (come one)
Then I`m soon gone, underground like a U-Bahn (uuuhhh)
I`m a Temple members to the letter of U-1
Rewind, remix, replay, play
DJ capital T-O-M-E-K-K
You`ll find the teacher KRS with Rene (Rene)
Spittin words, verbs that manifest whole scenes
I mean whole dreams, takin it forward to microphone beam
with Tomekk, Berlin got their own team
So take a mental pit stop, at the Temple of Hip Hop (yeah)
These fools with jewels? Skip dat
And keep learning! .. Yeah, word, Boogie Down Berlin
Chorus
(KRS-One)
Just throw your hands in the air
And wave `em like you really DO care
Yo Rene, yo, yo, hold this shit down
(Rene) (German version)
Es ist schon seltsam
Schau ich mir diese Welt an
Gestern noch kurz vor dem Abgrund
Heut schon Welt, man?
Na und? Hat schon Grund, kennst ja
Wenn der Scheiss heiss ist
Hat alles sein Preis
Auch wenn`s der Schweiss ist
Ich weiss es
