The road lied to me, never loved me

Because the road was only there when I had money

I defended the street every night, but

She'll leave you if the police catch you, because

These endless streets betray you

They poison your body and bury you

I, for example, was there for 24 hours

I witnessed one brother after another die

The street allows you to be shot down

All the blood flows through the streets without saying goodbye

The road lures the brothers and drops them

I saw so many kids just doing drugs like that

There is unconditional war on the streets

Every hard-earned cent is gambled away in the casino

You close your eyes on the street

When the stranglehold of the police forces brothers to their knees

Because the street never loved me

Because the street just used me, I was blind brother

When kohl flows down your mother's cheek

And mixed with the tears, it hurts

When the road betrayed me I was deaf

When the street betrayed me I was blind

As the street shot at me I became silent

If you love her you're dead brother

I was trapped in the fantasy

That true happiness moves through the street with the fog

That the street protects me

That was a lie

I realized it way too late, brother

Alcohol corrupts your soul and numbs you

You choose a thousand wrong things because you are dreaming

Of a carefree life but you're running

Once through hellfire and you'll never return, brother

Because the road robs you of everything you have

Believe me, all the abundance here is drowned in the sea

The road is the reason why you're lonely

The road whispers in your ear until you get hurt

Now be honest, how much road do you have in you?

Our lives are fleeting only our actions remain here brother

You close your eyes on the street

When the stranglehold of the police forces brothers to their knees

Because the street never loved me

Because the street just used me, I was blind brother

When kohl flows down your mother's cheek

And mixed with the tears, it hurts

When the road betrayed me I was deaf

When the street betrayed me I was blind

As the street shot at me I became silent

If you love her you're dead brother

Würgegriff — chokehold

Würgegriff literally translates to "chokehold" or "stranglehold". It's a strong and evocative word that immediately brings to mind a sense of oppression and struggle.

In the context of this song, it's used to describe the oppressive grip of the police on individuals, particularly in the line "Wenn der Würgegriff der Polizisten, Brüder in die Knie zieht" (When the chokehold of the police brings brothers to their knees). This word powerfully conveys the harsh realities and struggles faced on the streets, making it a memorable and impactful choice.

Massiv's "DIE STRASSE HAT UNS NIE GELIEBT" [THE STREET NEVER LOVED US] is a really powerful track where he reflects on the harsh realities of street life. He feels betrayed, saying, "Die Straße hat mich angelogen, nie geliebt" [The street lied to me, never loved me]. He describes how the street was only there when he had money and how it abandons you when the police catch you. It's a really stark warning about the dangers, mentioning how "Diese endlosen Straßen, die verraten dich" [These endless streets, they betray you] and "Sie vergiften deinen Körper und vergraben dich" [They poison your body and bury you].

He talks about witnessing friends die and seeing kids turn to drugs, emphasizing the "bedingungsloser Krieg" [unconditional war] on the street. It's a heartbreaking look at how the street takes everything, even your peace of mind, whispering in your ear until "du ein Schaden kriegst" [you get damaged]. The song is a wake-up call, a realization that the dream of happiness on the street was a lie, and that if you love the street, "bist du tot Bruder" [you are dead, brother]. It's a heavy but important message about choosing a different path.
