Keep Calm
Prince Kay One Lyrics

Take care of your school, find a job, go to work
Focus on your studies, secure employment and have a work life balance

You're sittin' all day long on this couch with your girl
Don't be idle and waste time sitting around doing nothing with your girlfriend

See, everybody here just laughin' at you
People are mocking and ridiculing you for being unproductive

And noone cares, whe you act like a fool
People are unconcerned when you behave irrationally

Hangin' with your friends, now you're smokin' that weed
You are engaging in negative influences i.e. drug abuse with your peers

Another damn letter for you from the police
Receiving letters of warning and intimidation from law enforcement agencies is not a good thing

People just talk talk talk too much
People love to talk without substance and come to unsubstantiated conclusions

And I say fuck you (fuck you)
I swear at you, expressing how your misguided advice is unwelcome and unnecessary

Never tell me to keep calm (keep calm)
I should not be told to remain tranquil or composed when facing negative situations

Live fast and die young
I choose to live life to the fullest without any limitations or restrictions

Mach deine Schule fertig, gib mir das Gras
Focus on your studies, then offer me your illicit marijuana supply

Gib mir die Playsi, ja, bla bla
Offering me video game consoles is not a priority

Mann, ich war damals gern erst um 8 Uhr da
I had a preference for arriving at school not too early

Deshalb gab's für mich keine Abschlussfahrt
As a result, I was not allowed to attend the end of school trip

Egal, was war, ich bekam
I was always blamed for various offenses and circumstances

Immer die Schuld, die Geduld war nicht mehr da
I became fed up with always being the scapegoat and lost patience

Jeden Mittag saß ich meine Strafe ab für nichts
I had to serve unjustified and unreasonable punishments during lunch breaks at school

Was, Frau Meier, warte ab, du Bitch
Watch and see, Mrs. Meier, you insignificant woman

Kenneth, wieder kam da ein Brief
Kenneth, I received another letter

Hör, du bist gar nicht beliebt
You are not popular and well-liked

Voll unsympathischer Typ und so hart zu erzieh'n
I am perceived as unapproachable and difficult to nurture

Viele Lehrer sind stark depressiv
Many of my teachers have severe depression due to the challenges of their job

Ich meine Schule, fickt euch, Peace
I say goodbye to my education by leaving on bad terms

Viel Glück euch Freaks, ich komm nie wieder zurück
Good luck to you freaks, I will never return back to school

Doch hab ich irgendwann Erfolg, dann trifft's euch tief
In the event that I am successful, you will feel sorry for undermining me

Ich hab ein Plan, ja, ich werd einfach Rapper ist klar
I have a goal of becoming a rapper

Ihr wisst jede Scheiße besser
You all think you know everything better

Irgendwann ausschlafen, keine Wecker
Eventually, I want to sleep in without an alarm clock

Und ohne Grund in meinen Scheinen blättern
Going through my stacks of cash for no particular reason

Und dann in 'nem Maybach wegfahr'n
Driving away in a luxury Maybach car

Währenddessen fahren Neider S-Bahn
At the same time, my haters are travelling by train

Ich dreh mich um und seh die Vollidioten grade weiterlästern
I turn around to see the fools still trash-talking about me

Berufsinformationszentrum, sie ging so schnell um
She passed through the career centre so quickly

Meine Zeit, denn ich stellte mich so gern dumm
My time to browse the career centre was wasted as I pretended to be ignorant

Klar ein Kiffer, Schulabbrecher
Yes, I am a cannabis smoker and high school dropout

Hör'n Sie, ich werd mal wie 2Pac Rapper
Listen up, I aspire to be like Tupac as a rapper

Ich hab diese moves like jagger
I possess dancing abilities similar to the pop star, Maroon 5's frontman

Ich brauch nur 'ne Leiter, dann kann ich aus dem Kuhkaff klettern
All I need is a ladder to climb out of this small town

Sorry, kleiner Mann, Sie träum'n
Sorry, little man, you are only dreaming

Sie werden seh'n, dass es in Deutschland anders läuft
You will see that the scenario in Germany works differently

Keiner wurd hier zum Star oder Millionär
No one became a star or made a fortune here

Denn erstmal muss die Bildung her
This is because education comes first

Bildung wer? Ich weiß nicht, wovon Sie reden
Education? Who cares? I do not understand what you are talking about

Ich hab vor, von den Songs zu leben
I plan to make a living from my songs

Aufzutreten vor den Menschenmassen
Performing in front of huge crowds

Ja und strahlende 10.000 Fans, die klatschen
Yes, and about 10,000 ecstatic fans cheering

Ich werde es schaffen,
I will succeed in this

Und ja, sie könn' lachen und denken, es wird niemals klappen
And yes, they can laugh and think it will never work

Dann komm ich im schwarz-matten Lambo vor ihre Tür
Then, I will arrive at their doorstep in a black matte Lamborghini car

Und werd ihren Opel Corsa rasier'n
And show off by racing and surpassing their Opel Corsa car

Und jeder, der gelacht hat
And everyone who laughed at me

Oder nie an mich geglaubt hat
Or never believed in me

Hat seinen Kopf dann bei mir im Arsch drin
Will end up regretting his doubts

Halt daran fest, wenn du einen Traum hast
Hold on tight to your dreams when you have one

We live fast and die young
We choose to live our lives full throttle and die prematurely
