Terror directly translates to "terror" in English. While the word itself is not rare, its usage in this context is particularly striking and memorable.
KARDO uses it to describe his behavior as a child, stating, "als kleiner Pisser macht schon im Kindergarten Terror" (as a little piss-ant, already causing terror in kindergarten). This vivid imagery of a child causing "terror" from such a young age immediately grabs attention and sets a rebellious tone for the song, making it an enticing word for learners.
"INTRO (1997)" is KARDO's opening statement for his X Wave crew and their Relax-Flow sound. He raps about growing up fast on the street, running with baggies and Cali packs, and pushing back against the business side of music, dismissing songwriters, topliners and managers who take a cut without doing the work.
The chorus turns that swagger into a call for peace, a line KARDO repeats before the track closes with a nod to classic hip-hop bravado. It's a rough, defiant introduction that sets the tone for the rest of the project.
