They say everyone's the smith of their own luck

But who knows, maybe I don't deserve any luck at all

They ask me why I don't make love songs

Look me in the eyes, tell me, do you see this hate?

I was just nineteen

And my daily life was f*cking around, the arcade and rolling joints

Ridiculous sh*t, ridiculous, I know

Goddamn, what a ridiculous time

A boy with no prospects, roaming the streets

And nothing on his mind but that street stuff

Until I saw you and your eyes

Alhamdulillah, a dream comes true

But maybe it's just asking too much

That you could love a boy like me

I'm a boy from the streets, I own nothing

But I wanna be honest with you 'cause you matter to me

Yet you took my hand

First time in nineteen years I made it to shore

Tell me where you were all those years

'Cause I turned invincible when you held me in your arms

Rich and pretty? No, that's not me

I'm the wrong one if that stuff matters to you

I've only got my heart and my honesty

And I'm sorry 'cause that's just not enough

Rich and pretty? No, that's not me

I'm the wrong one if that stuff matters to you

I've only got my heart and my honesty

And I'm sorry 'cause that's just not enough

With you by my side my dream came true

All my friends said we're a dream couple

I don't have to stay up all night anymore

'Cause lovers got no business in the club

You took all the hate and all the rage outta me

I think fate's finally treating me right

You ain't human, no, I'd know

You must be an angel, that's why you protect me

All your girls laughed at you

You didn't give a sh*t, it didn't bother you

They said it looks weird

A street boy with a girl from a good family

But I'll make everything right, promise, with every kiss

So you won't have to be ashamed of me anymore

I know I kept that last job for only ten days

But you didn't see how much I was ashamed

Please trust me, I'll prove it to everyone

Don't let them fill your head, let me stay in your life

Rich and pretty? No, I never was

But I was your king in my fantasy

Rich and pretty? No, that's not me

I'm the wrong one if that stuff matters to you

I've only got my heart and my honesty

Rich and pretty? No, that's not me

I'm the wrong one if that stuff matters to you

I've only got my heart and my honesty

And I'm sorry 'cause that's just not enough

And now don't tell me the spark is gone

Just look at yourself, you can't handle the pressure

And you wonder if I was really worth it

'Cause of us you've got nothing but trouble in your world

And you think your dad might be right after all

And your future with me might end up bad

You need a man who's already on his feet

Not like me, drifting through life as a daydreamer

Who drives a Benz and owns a nice house

That's something you don't wanna give up like your sight

I can totally get you, 'cause you love glitz and glamour

And in your world I'm just a sick bum

They laugh at me, call me street boy

And you laughed along at the street boy

At the boy who stood at your window at night

And called your name, forget that street thief

I'm gone, somewhere they know how to value me

Where they don't stare at me like I came from the Enterprise

Your love was just a big joke

And because of it I turned into a boy without a heart

Rich and pretty? No, that's not me

I'm the wrong one if that stuff matters to you

I've only got my heart and my honesty

And I'm sorry 'cause that's just not enough

Rich and pretty? No, that's not me

I'm the wrong one if that stuff matters to you

I've only got my heart and my honesty

And I'm sorry 'cause that's just not enough

SONG MEANING

Reich und Schön opens with Fard questioning the old saying that everyone is the architect of their own fortune, then immediately admitting he has no riches, no status, only his “heart and honesty.” Across the track he paints vivid snapshots of life as a 19-year-old “street kid,” lost in boredom, gambling halls, and rolled joints, until a girl from a “good family” changes everything. The rapper’s raw verses swing between gratitude and bitterness: he is lifted by her love (“Al-hamdu lillah, a dream comes true”) yet haunted by the feeling that he will never be rich and beautiful enough to keep her.

The song turns into a gritty love letter about class divide and self-worth. Friends mock their mismatched romance, her parents disapprove, and Fard’s own insecurities grow louder. By the final verse the relationship has buckled under social pressure; he walks away, convinced she needs the luxury he cannot give. Beneath the melancholy hook, the rapper delivers a universal message: glitter and glamour may impress, but sincerity costs nothing—and is often all we really have to offer.
