ANNIVERSARY (English Translation)
[Intro]
Came to earth buck naked like Terminator
In the era of Madonna and Jiraiya
[Verse 1]
’84, first victory as a spermatozoid
That’s the medical explanation for why I exist
Little mixed breed, half Spätzle, half Pasta
On the streets, it’s a bit of Kebab or Sarma
’96, you listen to Rap or Nirvana
No computers, smoke my first joint in the attic
’98, first rap text, forgot it at the concert
A bit like 8 Mile, shaking like a dork
’99, I hear Dancehall at parties with Dreads
Smoking under plastic palm trees in the Flex
’01, official first release date
“Family Bizz” written small on a mixtape
’02, I sell speed, E’s, thank god discreetly (Ah, yeah)
‘Til the eighteen on my ID is official
[Chorus]
Before Camora stands an RAF, the year is an anniversary
They know my name, I turn phrases into a museum
I tell you where I came from, it borders on fiction
I’ll write it in three parts, the rest you don’t need to know, R
RAF, the year is an anniversary
They know my name, I turn phrases into a museum
You see my face at concerts and in clips
But you and I, we don’t know each other
[Verse 2]
’04, first time on the big stage, opening for Samy
’05, first tour, first time in a studio, ayy
’06, first time in the charts, first time on TV
’07, first time in the newspaper, first time on the radio
’08, first time in jail, first time in the clinic
’09, first time in love, first time heartbroken
’10, first time a father, first time responsible
’11, first time a husband, first time divorced
’12, first time a millionaire, first time bankrupt
’13, first time in rehab, first time clean
’14, first time back on stage, first time afraid
’15, first time a legend, first time forgotten
’16, first time a comeback, first time a victory
’17, first time a grandfather, first time old
’18, first time a memory, first time a ghost
’19, first time at peace, first time happy
[Chorus]
Before Camora stands an RAF, the year is an anniversary
They know my name, I turn phrases into a museum
I tell you where I came from, it borders on fiction
I’ll write it in three parts, the rest you don’t need to know, R
RAF, the year is an anniversary
They know my name, I turn phrases into a museum
You see my face at concerts and in clips
But you and I, we don’t know each other
