Genius English Translations
Chefket - Identitaeter (English Translation)
[Part 1]
Always at school, except on Mondays and Fridays
Thank you for the certificate, Doctor Grupp, that makes it simpler
Skipping class is not easy - small town
I see the teachers because they honk as they drive past me
The next day they confront me:
"I swear on everything, I was sick and briefly had to go to the pharmacy"
Everyone laughs out loud, class clown, Body Count in the tapedeck
Went out on the skateboard, even when it was raining
Heelflips, Boardslides, Five-Ohs
In a time without internet and iPhones
Teachers, who threaten me with expulsion from school
Papa says: "Think about your future, my son"
But i just want to flow cool into the mic
No matter if the youth catches up with me at some point
Stay as you are
Experience forms you if you never forget it

[Hook 1]
Everyone makes mistakes, except for me
I simply gather experience
An 'Identitrator' wants to try everything out
Save yourself the hug

[Verse 2]
I used to be ashamed when I said I was a rapper
They looked at me like I was a psychopath or criminal
That gave me strength and I became better day by day
Therefore I thank everyone who stressed me back then
Okay, maybe I have not always made the right decision
But I have managed to not let the problems bend me
Because I knew there were a few people that love me
And they always said "Chefket, don't be so secretive"
Retook school years a thousand times, wrote exams while sweating
When the teacher asked something I just kept scribbling in silence
Or drove away the boredom in class with jokes
I didn't deserve the six, give me a seven
Chefket, watch out, there is a lot of envious people up there
Keep focussing on goals, positive songwriter
I have no faults and I make them up
So that the people out there think that I am like them
[Hook 2]
Everyone makes mistakes, except you
You only gather experience
An 'identitrator' wants to try everything out
I keep my warning to myself

[Bridge]
And I always grow further upward
My roots firmly in the earth
Still I stay on the ground
Life is a test until I die

[Hook 3]
Everyone makes mistakes, except for me
Everyone makes mistakes, only not us
We only gather experience
'Identitrators' want to try everything out
Keep your warnings to yourselves

[Hook 1]
Everyone makes mistakes, except for me
I simply gather experience
An 'Identitrator' wants to try everything out
Save yourself the hug
