IN PROBLEME VERLIEBT

Immer für mich da

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I came up from the bottom, a ghost in the street
With the rhythm of the struggle and the pain in my feet
They told me to trust, they told me to be kind
But the streets taught me different, they left that all behind
Every hustler's promise, every snake in the grass
The streets showed me everything, and taught me how to last
I saw the fakes, I saw the lies
And learned to read the truth in a person's eyes

[Chorus]
'Cause the streets taught me!
Yeah, the streets taught me!
How to stand on my own, and how to get right through!
The streets taught me!
Yeah, the streets taught me!
The only one that's got my back is the one in the mirror looking at me!

[Verse 2]
You talk about the grind, you talk about the hustle
But you never felt the fire, you never felt the muscle
You never had to fight for the food in your mouth
You never had to worry about running out of south
So you can preach your sermons, you can talk all your trash
But the streets are a master, and the streets move fast
I learned from the silence, I learned from the pain
And now I'm the king, and you're just stuck in the rain

[Chorus]
'Cause the streets taught me!
Yeah, the streets taught me!
How to stand on my own, and how to get right through!
The streets taught me!
Yeah, the streets taught me!
The only one that's got my back is the one in the mirror looking at me!

[Bridge]
Yeah, the lessons are permanent, the knowledge is real
This ain't just a story, this is a part of the deal
So keep all your wisdom, keep all your degrees
'Cause I learned all I needed from the city's concrete trees!

[Outro:]
The streets taught me!
Yeah... taught me.
