Take everything from me, take my last few cents, the sports car

The most precious diamonds, lead me and my boys away in handcuffs

Every RAF fan, my property, my apartment

Because no matter how hard I fall, I play my way up like the national team

Back to zero as a loser, but I'll get everything back

Every place I've ever placed myself in the charts

While you're downing beer glass after glass of beer, I'm right now

In the studio, working and working and working, because that's how it works

I've tried everything hundreds of times, but it fails every time

Neapolitan will, a raven behind me, always watching over me

Hardly believe the dreamland of TV stars

Don't train for flight, but for impact, because I am one

The more you take from me, the deeper I bite

It strengthens my instinct, because I stay forever

In the head a warrior, uncontrollable

First you live, then you die and become a hero

I was created away from all your envy and the spotlight

Forged in the dark of the night and live from the strength that my shadow gives me

Faces so full of hate, so many want to get up but can't make it

So I wear the scars on my skin like armor and believe me, you won't crack them

I look deep into my eyes in the mirror and see how the fire is still burning

My senses so sharp, my hunger still there, I'm grateful for all my talent

And even if the day comes when fate no longer loves me

When God takes what he gives me, I stand up again as if by reflex

Raise my fists high and fight, also because I don't know any other way

Because every setback I receive, my double coverage covers it

I'll come back three times stronger, especially when no one thinks about me

Even when I'm alone against the world, I'm even more determined now

The more you take from me, the deeper I bite

It strengthens my instinct, because I stay forever

In the head a warrior, uncontrollable

First you live, then you die and become a hero

Bleeded so many times, lost in the floods

But nothing keeps us down, you become a hero

Time made me understand

One will leave, one will become a hero

You want us to bleed, come and try

But nothing keeps us down, you become a hero

Time made me understand

One will leave, one will become a hero

Aufprall — impact / collision

Aufprall translates to 'impact' or 'collision'. It's a strong, evocative word that suggests a forceful encounter.

In the song, RAF Camora uses it metaphorically when he says, "Trainiere nicht den Flug, sondern den Aufprall" (I don't train for the flight, but for the impact). This powerful line conveys a mindset of preparing for the worst, for the inevitable challenges and setbacks, rather than just enjoying the easy parts of life. It highlights resilience and a readiness to face adversity head-on, making it a memorable and impactful word in the context of becoming a 'Hero'.

Get ready to feel invincible with RAF Camora's "Hero" featuring Kontra K! This song is all about bouncing back, no matter how hard life hits you. RAF Camora talks about losing everything: "Nimm mir alles, nimm meine letzten paar Cent, den Sportwagen" [Take everything from me, take my last few cents, the sports car]. But even if he's back at square one, he's determined to fight his way back to the top, just like a national football team. He's constantly working hard in the studio while others are out drinking, showing that dedication is key.

He describes himself as a "Krieger" [warrior] in his mind, uncontrollable and always ready for a fight. The lyrics, "je mehr man mir nimmt, desto tiefer beiß' ich" [the more they take from me, the deeper I bite], perfectly sum up his resilient spirit. He sees his scars as armor, making him unbreakable. Even when fate turns against him, he'll stand up again, ready to fight with his fists because it's all he knows. This song is a powerful anthem for anyone who's ever faced adversity and come out stronger.
