Kopf Gef*** (Intro) Lyrics in English by Kontra K

Bankrottgehen means "to go bankrupt". It's a striking and somewhat unexpected word to find in a rap song, making it memorable and unique to this track.

In the lyrics, Kontra K raps, "Sollte Papa wieder bankrottgehen, macht er dieselbe Scheiße nochmal" (Should Papa go bankrupt again, he'll do the same shit again). This reveals a raw honesty about the struggles and difficult choices he might face, adding a layer of depth to his persona and the song's narrative.

Kontra K's "Kopf Gef*** (Intro)" is a really intense look into the artist's mind, showing the constant struggle between his past and who he wants to be. He opens up about the pressure he feels, saying, "Gott weiß, ich hab' mehr drauf / Also gibt er mir Druck über Druck, aber sagt nicht, wie weit noch" [God knows I have more in me / So he gives me pressure after pressure, but doesn't say how much further]. It's a raw confession about dealing with the consequences of his choices, like being "Mit einem Bein bin ich im Knast, mit dem andern noch hier oben" [With one foot in jail, with the other still up here]. He's honest about past mistakes, even admitting that if he goes broke again, "macht er dieselbe Scheiße nochmal" [he'll do the same shit again].

But even with all that, there's a powerful sense of defiance and hope. He declares, "Die Hölle muss erst zufrieren, bevor man mir die Hoffnung nimmt" [Hell must first freeze over before my hope is taken from me]. It's a blunt warning about the dangers of old habits, advising, "alte Sünden sind wie Kippen, besser fangt gar nicht erst an" [old sins are like cigarettes, better not even start]. He also shares some hard-earned wisdom about trusting what you see over what you hear, and how true friends are few. This song is a journey through his experiences, showing how his life has messed with his head, but also how he finds strength and purpose in writing songs that help others through tough times.
