Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Benzscheiben schwarz, Nikekappe runter
Montags allein, freitags zu hundert
Okay, Action, Kamera an
Talibanconnection, Jalalabad
Komm raus auf den Schulhof, ich schlage dich Schwanz
K-U-R-D-O, Star-Immigrant
Und genau dieser Typ klaut dir dein Gold weg
Lifestyle, Hektik, das Ghetto gewohnt
Guck, mein Sound p-p-pumpt Testosteron
AK 4-7 Kalaschnikow
Mitternacht, Kopffickerei, Paracitol
Traditionell, Sprengstoff basteln
Banküberfälle, Black-Ops-Masken
Fick Rap, du Spast, das ist Schicksal

The song Paranoid by Kurdo is a representation of the artist's perspective on his immigrant identity and the difficulties that come with living in a society where one is seen as an outsider. The lyrics are a fusion of German and Arabic, highlighting the duality of the artist's identity. In the first verse, Kurdo talks about his tough upbringing in the ghetto and his ability to make a name for himself with his style of music. He talks about his affinity for expensive cars and his connection with the Taliban, which is both an allusion to the stereotype of immigrants being connected to terrorism and a symbol of his defiance against societal expectations.
In the chorus, Kurdo repeats the phrase "Almanya Kanake," which translates to "German immigrant." This repetition emphasizes his struggle to reconcile his German and immigrant identities. The second verse of the song talks about Kurdo's history of criminal activity, his dreams of success, and the obstacles he faces because of his background. He boasts about his talent as a rapper and his rise to fame, and calls for defiance against authority figures like the police.
The song's message is one of pride, resilience, and the struggle that immigrants face in a society that questions their place in it. The fusion of both German and Arabic lyrics emphasizes the duality of immigrant identity and the complexity of navigating belonging in a new place.
