Vermächtnis translates to "legacy" or "heritage". It's a strong and meaningful word that carries significant weight, especially in the context of an artist's career.
In this song, Bushido uses "Mein Vermächtnis bleibt in dei'm Gedächtnis" (My legacy remains in your memory) to assert his lasting impact and influence in the music scene. It highlights his desire for his work and persona to be remembered long after he's gone, making it a powerful and memorable choice.
Bushido's "MPC Aus Gold" is a powerful declaration of his journey and status in the rap game. He's not shy about dismissing his rivals, saying "Fick dein Camp und dein' Missgeburt-Verein" [Fuck your camp and your freak-club] and calling out those who are new to the scene, claiming success after only a week: "Sie sind grade eine Woche da und reden von Erfolg" [They've only been here a week and are talking about success]. He sees them as followers, not leaders.
Bushido emphasizes his independence and self-made success. He proudly states he made hits with just an eight-track recorder and wrote lyrics in prison, sometimes crying at night. His MPC, a music production controller, is central to his identity, representing his craft and legacy. He's a true Berliner, warning others not to mess with him: "Geh mir auf die Nerven und ich breche deinen Kiefer" [Get on my nerves and I'll break your jaw]. For Bushido, it's all about family and his music; everything else is business. He believes in himself, even when others didn't, and he's leaving behind "eine MPC aus Gold" [an MPC of gold] as his legacy for his children, hoping they'll be proud.
