Sookee - Vorläufiger Abschiedsbrief versuri traducere în engleză

Tentative Farewell Letter

Rap was rarely good to me, rap always punched me
I too often sat around in my room with pen and paper
I never free-styled, I never had the guts
I wanted to be an MC1 but time after time I was just a woman
 
It took years until I became self-aware
Until I had a fan base and fame, and then came the fear of losing
After all, who would like to give up the status one has been fighting for?
Especially when after having doubts you finally believe in yourself
 
The role I have even annoys me, it always has since the beginning
Well, of course I would like to be known exclusively for dopes MCing2
Dominance needs resistance and I am at the top of the game
The one who stands up straight, experiences a lot of headwind
 
I made a name for myself, Queerfeminist MC
This is my seventh release, I've always loved rap
Always pumped and celebrated, but hated even more
What would I have missed out on without these rapper rapists?
 
And it bothers them that I criticize how they distinguish themselves
Believe me I would also rather not wear myself out with a bad temper
But when I see shit, then I have to call it out
You don't even understand the criticism, I'm not the BPjM3
 
You want to fuck everything to pieces, check out the pictures that you drawing
Even with good will, it's hard not to fail because of you
And don't tell now, that society has made you into
What you are, you are powerful men after all, good night
 
Yes, I'm stupid enough, I'll fall for it, I'll get upset
You've dominated the last ten years of my résumé4
Sure, I should be smarter and punish you with ignorance
And I also don't want to make myself known for setting boundaries
 
Yes, I should rise above it and simply ignore you
Focus on myself and choose my ways more wisely
But a couple of voices saying the contrary are needed
In this eternal shit, in this wretched hype
You say this is just entertainment but to me it's violence
 
You know what I'm talking about, you know for sure
You have decided against debating
And I beat my head against walls, shit I babble too much
I feel powerless, to you I'm nothing but three holes
You are men, you are the greater creatures
Go ahead, release the track already, I'm wasting your time
Show a little disrespect, show what kind of men you are
 
My guys are ashamed of how you portray femininity
And for being so united in your masculinity
Your children will one day punish you for this with contempt
They have to bear your heritage as a burden
And the media slobber all over you
They know very well, that they will sell more with a scandal
Germany sees no reason for structural reformation
But Germany would do well in any case, to shut its mouth
 
And I factor in socialization
But does the outcome of this shit need to be so spiteful
Others have also eaten dirt and are no idiots
You know, learning from the mistakes of others is not forbidden
 
I see the context, I see the structures
But gays are not faggots and women are not whores
I see the bashing of the underclass, racism, and vulnerability
But sexism and homophobia cannot be the effects
 
Especially since so many of you are middle class and potatoes5
That pretend you have been hit hard by this life
You will not moralize and you will not deny yourself experience
But you refuse and I don't want a change of power
I just don't want to always feel like shit when you are selling shit
Bastard, bitch. Dumbass, son-of-a-bitch, does not upset anyone anymore
You are not a reflection of society, you are part of society
Then start believing in yourself and you call that self-hatred
 
It becomes clear that you win and I surrender
I've been active for ten years, now everything is too much for me
We have created structures, developed our own scene
But I poison myself, I'm the antidote
I don't have the strength of Sarah Jones, I must determine the end
The revolution will not take place between these legs
Looking back, it was an unfair match from the start
My first track was the beginning of my downfall
 
I don't give a damn, if you think that I'm just whining here
I invite you into my head, come on again, club
I'm paranoid and I'm counting on you to decide right away
I give brain6 and then you have enough of me
You think I'm overstressing that, that it's not relevant
To me, that's a matter for life
All that remains is my courage for weakness
When did a man doubt if he deserves to rap?
