You are now listening to AraabMUZIK

Fifteen years of battle rap, fifteen years of blunt lines

Suddenly they ask: “Does this still fit into the framework of artistic freedom?”

I felt like public enemy number one

There are only scandals nationwide, the drama of which is unmatched

Pressure increases and it rains down on me

But the fans are standing straight, so I pull out the pen like Excalibur and write

“That's Alpha!”, for the kids, because I once had nothing myself

Germany, I do the job your parents don't do

But you keep your mindset stubborn

Not me, mine is uniquely pure, like ice crystal structure

So fuck the state, I'm the leading figure here

Like my iron sculpture in a lightning strike

Menacing like strong thunder on coca like Maradona

Anyone who gets in my way has a bird like RAF Camora

When coal flows, there are scroungers, snakes appear around me

Like tropical anacondas on boat trips in the Amazon, but

No chance against the overboss

I always act with a cool head and calculation in my head

I'm a calculating player, like David Beckham

When the boss breaks something, it's like Bane with Batman

Because if you make money, you quickly run the risk of someone launching attacks

But I'm not afraid of anything, the world is a deceptive matrix

But bring me one who went from me and then said about me

That I didn't treat him fairly, bitch, and paid like a brother

For my word has weight like the writing on the gate frame

“Big Boss” flashing in gold over my front yard

And I know they accused me, I

I would have said that as long as I'm hungry, I won't sit in a sports car

But first of all, we're rap stars and not choir boys, bitch

I mean, I'm just writing this text on a summons

And secondly, I noticed that I can get to appointments quicker

To earn more money, people help in wars

Every man has his price and cops are like anise

If it's about their necks, they'll take a bribe

Paid 40k for Jigzaw, gave him new perspective

Back then, cell, brother, soon we'll be chilling in cruise ship cabins

With topless hoes like an open air

But I'll put a quiet bullet in my shotgun, just as ammunition

Climb up to the throne like Xerxes, bitch, come on, give me the crown

The boss is back and pushing waves like Moses at the Dead Sea

Because we grew up like slaves from birth

They want to see me on my knees, I remain king of all classes

Everything collapses like the Tower of Babel

But I rise again like a phoenix from the ashes

Dear Lord, give me Munni for the Uzi

Keep the snakes away from me, unless it's Gucci

Dear Lord, give me Munni for the Uzi

Keep the snakes away from me, unless it's Gucci

Dear Lord, give me Munni for the Uzi

Keep the snakes away from me, unless it's Gucci

Dear Lord, give me Munni for the Uzi

Keep the snakes away from me, unless it's Gucci

It's almost a tradition, a show of force every year

Like a military parade squadron formation

Cold at heart, that's why mink furs, warm and soft

A noticeable gap like between rich and poor

Because everyone is their neighbor, zero empathy for need and suffering

But an alpha has principles and is willing to take risks

And I prophesied it like a Bible verse in Palestine

Career damage and broken deals worth millions

Account investigators find my Mios in Switzerland

That's why they freeze her like Sub-Zero freezes an enemy

When everyone writes about you without style, even the New York Times

Do you realize that you are getting too big and all they can do is character assassination

Hate campaigns in the media, scandals in the newspapers

Her son is slandered, mom cries herself to sleep

But I do not hide the truth from everyone alone

I continue on my path, it is rocky, but straight

You have hype, but you are just slaves to the major biz

The hunt for the next hit has fucked your souls

But rap doesn't mean who has the highest charting single

Rap still means who slaps the freshest bars to the beat and now

The cards are put on the table

Like shish kebab in the train station kebab after a night at the disco

Messiah status, biggest fish in the pond like Moby Dick

I don't drop just any shit, I drop holy shit

You see the good role model here, the evil artist there

As inscrutable as a coin-operated telescope for MOK

Always super provocative, but the album now makes the legend transparent

Like the computer program behind the 2Pac hologram, yeah

I'm fucking the scene holistically again

The hair is decreasing, but the punchlines are not

So don't think that now it's going to be as harmless as a girls' convent school

But from now on, it's not Kollegah who speaks, but Felix Antoine Blume

Because we grew up like slaves from birth

They want to see me on my knees, I remain king of all classes

Everything collapses like the Tower of Babel

But I rise again like a phoenix from the ashes

Dear Lord, give me Munni for the Uzi

Keep the snakes away from me, unless it's Gucci

Dear Lord, give me Munni for the Uzi

Keep the snakes away from me, unless it's Gucci

Dear Lord, give me Munni for the Uzi

Keep the snakes away from me, unless it's Gucci

Dear Lord, give me Munni for the Uzi

Keep the snakes away from me, unless it's Gucci

Dear Lord

Eiskristallstruktur — ice crystal structure

Eiskristallstruktur literally translates to "ice crystal structure". It's a very specific and scientific-sounding compound noun that stands out in a rap song.

Kollegah uses this word to describe his mindset as "einzigartig pur, so wie Eiskristallstruktur" (uniquely pure, like ice crystal structure). This metaphor emphasizes the intricate, unblemished, and complex nature of his thought process, suggesting a level of clarity and uniqueness that is rare and precise.

Kollegah's "Dear Lord" is a powerful and defiant track where he reflects on his controversial career and asserts his dominance in the German rap scene. He opens by acknowledging 15 years of battle rap and "stumpfe Lines" [blunt lines], and the public scrutiny that followed, making him feel like "der Staatsfeind Nummer eins" [public enemy number one]. Despite the pressure, he remains steadfast, drawing strength from his fans and his pen, which he wields "wie das Excalibur" [like Excalibur].

He sees himself as a figure of guidance, stating, "Deutschland, ich mache den Job, den deine Eltern nicht machen" [Germany, I do the job your parents don't]. Kollegah dismisses his critics and the state, declaring himself "die leitende Figur" [the leading figure]. He touches on the dangers of success, with "Schnorrer, Schlangen tauchen um mich rum auf" [scroungers, snakes appearing around me], but he's the "Überboss" [overboss], always acting with a cool, calculating mind. He even references paying 40,000 for another rapper, Jigzaw, giving him "neue Perspektiven" [new perspectives]. The chorus, "Dear Lord, gib mir Munni für die Uzi / Halt die Schlangen mir vom Leib, es sei denn Gucci," [Dear Lord, give me ammo for the Uzi / Keep the snakes away from me, unless it's Gucci] is a blunt prayer for protection and continued success, with a humorous nod to luxury. He ends by reiterating his kingly status, rising "wie ein Phönix aus der Asche" [like a phoenix from the ashes], and promises that even as he ages, "die Punchlines nicht" [the punchlines won't].
