Intro:
Das war mit Abstand
die schlimmste Woche
Die ich in meinem Leben je hatte
Ich weiß nicht, ob ich aufstehen soll
Und ich hab keinen Plan
was ich mache
*1 Denn irgendwie..
..ist alles scheiße
*2 Ich war noch nie so weit am Boden
Denn ich weiß
mein ganzes Geld ist weg
Und *3 meine Frau hat mich betrogen
Whatever!
Hook:
Bye (bye), ich fühl’ mich so frei (frei)
Ich will nicht mehr heim
Und mir ist scheißegal
was morgen kommt
Ich heb’ mein Glas und schrei’
Bye (bye), ich fühl’ mich so frei (frei)
Ich will nicht mehr heim
Und mir ist scheißegal
was morgen kommt
Ich hebe mein Glas und schrei
Strophe 1:
*4 in den Spiegel, Mann
ich brauche nichts außer dich
Wir beide packen das
ich hab’ dich, du hast mich
Und hat irgendjemand von uns beiden..
..sich mal verpisst
War das sicher wegen Geld
oder irgendeiner Chick
Jetzt bin ich frei (frei)
und steh’ wieder auf
Ich bin allein und schrei’
“es geht wieder raus”
Spring in die Nikes, fly
*5 und geh’ wie der Baus
In Zeitlupe in den Club
es hat ewig gebraucht
Doch es ist Samstagnacht
ich werd’ langsam wach
Und bezahl’ die erste Runde
mit ‘nem Handschlag, passt
Was geht ab? Cro,
guck mal^ das ist meine Welt
Meine Hobbys sind, ah,
schubsen oder Beine stellen
Oder hin und wieder
bisschen faul auf 'ner Couch
Manchmal allein und
manchmal mit Frauen
Doch heut’ bin ich im Club
nein, ich taumel’ noch nicht Heim
Denn wir feiern
durch die Nacht
bis die Sonne wieder scheint, yeah
(Hook)
Strophe 2:
Ich wache auf, schaue raus
keinen Plan wo ich bin
Das ganze Haus voller Frauen
ey, die schlafen bestimmt
Meine Hose ist zerrissen
und der Wagen ist hin
Geh’ in die Küche
mach mir erst einmal
*6 'nen Kaffee mit Jim
*7 Setz mich hin, what’s up?
was geht, bin hier
Und leb’,
doch geh’, demnächst, zu dir
OK, und falls irgendjemand schon^ weiß
Was heute Abend geht
dann bitte, bitte gib mir Bescheid
Denn ich bin irgendwie im Modus
deshalb will ich nicht Heim
Probleme lös’ ich locker
mit 'nem billigen Wein, gib mir
noch ‘n Schluck, noch ‘n Schluck
noch ‘n Schluck, noch ‘n Schluck
noch ‘n Schluck, jep
*8 ich bin yabadaba da
Also gib, gib, gib, gib
*9 gib mir n Becks!
Und ich kipp’, kipp’, kipp’, kipp’
kipp’ es auf ex!
Deine Gang hat Kids
*10 mit Clique auf der Cap
haben den Whiskey gegrabbt
und verpissen sich jetzt
Hey!
(Hook)

Intro:
that was by far
the worst week
that I’ve ever had in my life
I don’t know if I should get up
and I have no idea
what I [am gonna] do
‘cause for some reason..
..everything’s fucked up
I’ve never been so down
‘cause I know
all my money’s gone
and my wife cheated on me
whatever!
Hook:
bye (bye), I feel so free (free)
I don’t want to go home [ever]
and I don’t give a fuck
what comes tomorrow
I raise my glass and shout
bye (bye), I feel so free (free)
I don’t want to go home [ever]
and I don’t give a fuck
what comes tomorrow
I raise my glass and shout..
Verse 1:
..in the mirror, man
I don’t need anything but you
the two of us will handle this
I have you, you have me
and if someone of the two of us..
..[ever] went MIA
it was definitely ‘cause of money
or some chick
now I’m free (free)
and get back up
I’m alone and shout
“we’re going back out”
jump in the Nikes, fly
and go like the Baus
in the club, in slow-motion
it’s been way too long
but it’s Saturday night
I’m starting to wake up
and pay for the first round
with a high-five, alright
what’s going on? Cro
look, this is my world
my hobbies are, um
shoving or tripping
or every now and then
kinda vegging out on the couch
sometimes alone and
sometimes with women
but today I’m in the club
no, I’m not gonna stumble home yet
‘cause we’re gonna party
through the night
until the sun shines again, yeah
(Hook)
Verse 2:
I wake up, look out
no idea where I am
the whole house full of women
ey, they’re sleeping for sure
my pants are ripped
and the car’s totaled
[I] go in the kitchen
first thing, I make myself
a coffee with Jim
[I] sit down, whats up?
what’s goin’ on? I’m here
I’m [still] alive
but I’m going, soon, to your place
OK, and if someone knows
what’s happening tonight
then please, please tell me
‘cause somehow I’m in the mood
that’s why I don’t want [to go] home
I solve problems no sweat
with a cheap wine, give me
another sip, another sip
another sip, another sip
another sip, yep
I’m yabadaba here
so give give give give
give me a Becks
and I’ll chug chug chug chug
chug it in one go
your gang has kids
with “clique” on their caps
[they] grabbed the whiskey
and are running the hell away now
Hey!
(Hook)

*1
"denn irgendwie" =literally= "'cause somehow"
"Irgendwie" is also a common filler word
*2
IDIOM: "am Boden"
=literally= "on the ground"
=literally= "on the ground"
*3
"meine Frau" = "my woman" OR "my wife"
*4
WORDPLAY: "und schrei...in den Spiegel"
The end of the chorus and the beginning of the first verse form a continuous sentence
*5
REFERENCE: "der Baus"
= "the boss"
Refers to the song "Der Bozz und der Baus" from Azad.
*6
"Kaffee mit Jim" = coffee with Jim Beam Whiskey
*7
"what's up"
Lots of versions of the lyrics write "WhatsApp" here instead of "what's up" (you know, the popular messaging app), but WhatsApp is pronounced in German as "oo-ats EPP." That doesn't sound like what's being sung here.
*8
REFERENCE: "yabadaba da"
Fred Flintstone's catchphrase
*9
CULTURE: "Becks"
Becks is a German drink company that's best known for its beer mixed drinks (such as beer and lemonade).
*10
CULTURE/REFERENCE: "mit Clique auf der Cap"
Cro has his own designer label, Viovio, and one of his hat designs has "Clique" written on it. So the irony in the song is that some of his own "fans" stole his whiskey.
