Stück für Stück English translation
von Chakuza

You race through the world as if you had wheels on your legs
It's a movie that goes by quickly, the next scene over
Count to three and don't wish for gold, ice cream or toys
But that the successful time is repeated again
There's a damn gap
But I want it all back - they called him mosquito
Yes, just rewind a little, like a video cassette
There at the point where it said: Give me a beat and I'll rap
So DJ do a rewind
I don't want to be such a shitty freak, I just want to be Chak the MC
And yell into the microphone so that everything is too late
And I still thought demo tapes were classics – done

Deck up, cassette out
Blackout, film tear, finish - end over
Blackout, film tear, finish - end over


Then I press it, play the tape back
Bring back everything I have forgotten
Bit by bit, bit by bit
And then I press it, play the tape back
And then I'll get yesterday back

It's a goddamn fast train and you don't even have first class seats
Having to sleep hidden in the toilet thanks to an empty till
Bag heavy, but not because it's filled with money, no
With old caps, with old shirts and with stone
Unfortunately, there is a huge shadow over the old days
I loved Knight Rider and AC/DC records
I know that our dreams and desires
Unfortunately, the younger ones are out, like 90s synthesizers
Today you have to have a house, a car and pretty clocks
Our dream job back then was only the man from the garbage disposal
Then and now, where has it gone this time?
It accelerates you from the speed of sound to the speed of light

Deck up, cassette out
Blackout, film tear, finish - end over
Blackout, film tear, finish - end over


bit by bit
And then I press it, play the tape back
And then I'll get yesterday back
Then I press it, play the tape back
Get me everything, just forget back
bit by bit
And then I'll get yesterday back
