Chance
The Sierras Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(It is (?) kick it)

You drive me crazy, I'm losin' my place
Yeah, I'm goin' insane, (baby)
There's somethin' 'bout you, it's hard to explain
But I like it that way

You drive me crazy, I'm losin' my place
Yeah, I'm goin' insane, (baby)
There's somethin' 'bout you, it's hard to explain (ja-ja)
But I like it that way

Denn wo ich herkam, war der Sex nie einvernehmlich
Das Bett hart, die Zeiten eklig
Warum ich dich trotzdem liebe, ich weiß es selbst nicht
Was ich wegen dir sag', kann ich keinem erzählen
Sogar das Berliner Doku-Team hatte Angst in der Gegend
Das sind Fakten, frag die Jungs, die im Wellblech schlafen
Egal, ob der Regen da ist, egal, ob bei Kältegraden
Sie haben mich nie verstanden und vielleicht werden sie's nie
Kinder so wie wir, wir hören alles, doch sprechen nicht viel
Ich schreib' die Songs auf das Blatt, bis der Letzte mich liebt
Das ist die einzige Chance
Ich hab' mein ganzes Leben nur darauf gewartet, bis ich eine bekomm'
Und deshalb weiß ich, nach Sierra wird's nie sein wie zuvor, wir steigen empor
Schick' die Flaggen des Nordens
Ich werd' es schaffen, sonst hätte Gott mich nicht dafür geformt
Wir kennen alle eure Tricks, ihr macht keinem was vor
Ich hab' ganz TFS in einen Privatjet gesetzt, ihr Wichser

You drive me crazy, I'm losin' my place
Yeah, I'm goin' insane (baby)
There's somethin' 'bout you, it's hard to explain
But I like it that way

You drive me crazy, I'm losin' my place
Yeah, I'm goin' insane (baby)
There's somethin' 'bout you, it's hard to explain
But I like it that way

Und seit ich klein bin, ist die Scheiße hier mein einziger Sport
Wenn ich irgendwann gehen sollte, dann bleibt nur mein Wort
Deshalb diese Energie und deshalb kenn' ich kein Stopp
Ich renn' wegen der Angst, dass mich der Teufel bekommt
Die Vergangenheit war viel zu lange in meinem Kopf
Sie hat mir mehr als mein Vertrauen und meine Kindheit genommen
Meine Mutter war mein Vater, mein Opa, mein Onkel, die Tanten
Ersetzte mir jeden Verwandten und deshalb geh' ich auf's Ganze
Schreib' die Zeilen wie 'ne Eingebung von oben
Meine Reime sind der Lotus auf dem heißen Betonboden
Meine Feinde sind verloren, denn ich gleit' über den Globus
Und seit „Living Life“ verbreiten wir in reichlichen Regionen
Könnte locker Mille machen mit den Live-Auftritten, Shows
Aber bleib' mir lieber treu und scheiß auf einfache Millionen
Deutsche Rapper gehen gebückt, weil sich die Scheiße nicht mehr lohnt
Aber bei uns ist das anders, ich mach' weiter wie gewohnt
Mann, sei vorsichtig, ich seh' bei dir die Eins auf deinem Schoß
Aber das Damoklesschwert, es kreist über dem Thron
Und derjenige, der's hält, hat im Face einen Halbmond
Der Dreck und ich gehören zusammen wie das Blei in den Patronen

You drive me crazy, I'm losin' my place
Yeah, I'm goin' insane (baby)
There's somethin' 'bout you, it's hard to explain
But I like it that way

(Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
(Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)




(Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
(Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah) Ja, ja, ja

We must fight for peace as it is what we need. Too much blood has been shed and there are too many people to care for. We must strive for peace and put aside aggression. Forgiveness is key and every living thing deserves the right to live. It doesn't matter what color skin you have, we must stop fighting and come together for the greater good.
