Lyrics and translation Kollegah feat. Nas - Continental

Continental

Yeah, jetzt wird auf deine Artgenossen scharf geschossen
Wer schläft, der stirbt, carpe diem, carpe noctem (pscht)
24/7 wach für Kies auf der Bank
Mit beiden Beinen auf dem Boden kommst du niemals voran (niemals)
Träume lösen sich im Wandel des Lebens in dieser Gegend (ah)
Zwischen heruntergekommenen Blocks auf wie der Lange bei Tetris
Ich hab' die Gun im Valentino-Gürtel (-tino-Gürtel)
Besser, wenn du deine Augen überall hast wie'n Casino-Würfel
Scheiß ma' auf die Medien-Nutten (tzhe)
Doch es hat 'nen schalen Beigeschmack wie Venusmuscheln
Wie sie ihre Egos pushen
Dennis Sand, erst hardcore bei Sun Diego lutschen
Dann ein'n auf Bestseller-Autor von einer Bio tun
Die er nie leben musste (tzhe, Fotze)
Bruder, die meisten woll'n dich ausnutzen
Diese Welt ist grau wie die Hausschluchten von South Brooklyn (fuck 'em all)
Im Biz kannst du auf niemanden zähl'n
Zum Vorankomm'n brauch' ich nur Testo und kein Vitamin B
Rap-Legenden feiern mich, real recognize real (yeah)
Pump' "If I Ruled the World" in dem Bentley GT
Well connected, elitär (yeah)
Sowas Profanes wie Geld beschäftigt mich nicht mehr
Als ob's das Selfmade-Records-Label wär', ah
Nein, wir hatten hier im Viertel keine Wahl (Wahl)
Straßen aus Beton form'n den Körperbau zu Stahl (Stahl)
Heute fahre ich im Bentley (Bentley) Continental (ah)
Intercontinental, roll' auf Continental (yeah)
Nein, ich denke nicht und drücke aufs Pedal
Verdiene in 'ner Stunde, was sie machen im Quartal
Heute fahre ich im Bentley (Bentley) Continental
Intercontinental (uh), roll' auf Continental (yeah)
Yo, I live that boss life in Off-White, not the sports type
But I hit the floor when LeBron play, I mean of course, right?
Vegas for the fight, sexy lady to my right
Diamond drippin' from my ear, she the victim for the night
I'm the one they be watchin', native New Yorker poppin'
Broker's firm love me, get commission off my stocks, and
Options, I got a lot of 'em, penny stocks about 'em acknowledgin'
I ain't do college, still I'm providin' 'em
How to be independent, my inner spirit hears it, I listen
Self-educated, new wealth is celebrated, we livin'
I keep flexin' on a sexy broad lexicon
My expression, these are the ballads of Esco the don (don, don)
I slap oxygen out your esophagus, your larynx
Take it for hostage when I'll be droppin' this
Write raps in Arabic, speak German, eat wheat germ
Vitamin E, Apple TV, light up some tree (tree)
Rotten apples at tabernacle, that's NYC
Condos and highrises, convoys and fly rise
And this is to my G's
Keep your circle small, there's snakes in the weeds
(Nas) Nein, wir hatten hier im Viertel keine Wahl (Wahl)
Straßen aus Beton form'n den Körperbau zu Stahl (Stahl, yeah)
Heute fahre ich im Bentley (Bentley) Continental (ah)
Intercontinental, roll' auf Continental (yeah)
Nein, ich denke nicht und drücke aufs Pedal
Verdiene in 'ner Stunde, was sie machen im Quartal
Heute fahre ich im Bentley (Bentley) Continental (yeah)
Intercontinental (yeah), roll' auf Continental (come on, yeah)
Nas in your area, haha
We on the rise

Continental

Yeah, now we're taking aim at your kind
He who sleeps, dies, carpe diem, carpe noctem (psst)
24/7 awake for the cash in the bank
With both feet on the ground, you'll never get ahead (never)
Dreams dissolve in the changes of life in this neighborhood (ah)
Emerging between run-down blocks like the long piece in Tetris
I have the gun in the Valentino belt (-tino belt)
Better if you have your eyes everywhere like a casino dice
Fuck the media whores (tzhe)
But it has a stale aftertaste like clams
How they push their egos
Dennis Sand, first hardcore sucking up to Sun Diego
Then acting like a bestseller author with a bio
That he never had to live (tzhe, bitch)
Brother, most people want to exploit you
This world is gray like the housing projects of South Brooklyn (fuck 'em all)
In the biz, you can't count on anyone
To get ahead, I only need testosterone, not vitamin B
Rap legends celebrate me, real recognize real (yeah)
Pumping "If I Ruled the World" in the Bentley GT
Well connected, elite (yeah)
Something as profane as money doesn't concern me anymore
As if it were the Selfmade Records label, ah
No, we didn't have a choice in this neighborhood (choice)
Streets of concrete mold the physique into steel (steel)
Today I drive a Bentley (Bentley) Continental (ah)
Intercontinental, rolling on Continental (yeah)
No, I don't think, I just press the pedal
I earn in an hour what they make in a quarter
Today I drive a Bentley (Bentley) Continental
Intercontinental (uh), rolling on Continental (yeah)
Yo, I live that boss life in Off-White, not the sports type
But I hit the floor when LeBron plays, I mean of course, right?
Vegas for the fight, sexy lady to my right
Diamond drippin' from my ear, she the victim for the night
I'm the one they be watchin', native New Yorker poppin'
