Kontra K - Kampfgeist 4 (English Translation)
[Intro]
Let your weaknesses burn, 101%
Faster, better and stronger than the rest
Since only with power you get the respect
Faster, better and stronger than the rest
[Verse 1]
I get up, go out and inhale the dew from the leaves
Every session improves me by a percent
Every run makes me faster
So I travel many kilometers until my lungs start burning
My head is thicker than the wall it breaks
So I rather stay more fit than the rest
Hold the cover stable before the life hits again
Because everyday is a goddamn test
So back into the ring, keep the hand close to the chin
But the first punch gives me his respect
Round over round, all alone, since in here, your back does not solve problems but only you alone
The coaches are my family, the gym my second home
Not so noble but I know every spot
Every blood or sweat drop on the dirty floor
But if you want to chill, then get lost and go to the hotel!
[Pre-Chorus]
Because every mistake, every stone, every shard on the way means that you rather not underestimate me
Like father, like son
I carry it in my genes
Because every step in this life was hard-fought
[Chorus]
It is not about perfection
But about becoming better
Not better than the rest
But better than yourself
Either you do it or you do nothing
Only results show what you are
Let your weaknesses burn, 101%
Faster, better and stronger than the rest
Since only with power you get the respect
Faster, better and stronger than the rest
[Verse 2]
Only practise makes talent, but ambition leads to victory
Your body, the machine that is programmed by your soul
And mostly only losers concentrate on the winners
But winners are focussed on winning
And pretty good will be who tries out a thousand things once
But perfect will be who trains one thing a thousand times
So get back to the combos
Put on the head protection
And then it is one against four
Do not ask why I am committed to this lifestyle
I do not know, well maybe I do, because else my head would explode
And when I want everything, I have to invest everything
Because the goal after the goal is my goal
And no matter how fucked up my day was
It distances me from the dirt that makes me sick
Every dispute or frustration I beat away
Do not tell me about a psychiatrist
Because I have my sandbag
[Chorus]
It is not about perfection
But about becoming better
Not better than the rest
But better than yourself
Either you do it or you do nothing
Only results show what you are
Let your weaknesses burn, 101%
Faster, better and stronger than the rest
Since only with power you get the respect
Faster, better and stronger than the rest
[Outro & Scratches]
Be water, my friend!
Faster, better and stronger than the rest
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee!
Faster, better and stronger than the rest
