Borderlands

[Intro] Between two worlds, yeah, ich bin lost Caught in translation, paying the cost Turkish blood, German streets in my veins Building empires in these borderlands [Verse 1] Opa told me stories 'bout crossing seas Now I'm crossing cultures with relative ease Mama wants tradition, streets want me raw Stuck between döner and club door law Half my fam don't know what I'm saying Other half don't get what I'm spitting, yeah But I made this shit work to my advantage Turn that outsider feeling to some savage shit [Chorus] In these borderlands, we make our own rules Breaking barriers like some fucking fools Neither here nor there, but everywhere In these borderlands, we don't really care Bitch, I'm multilingual in getting paid Cross-cultural hustler, self-made In these borderlands, yeah, that's my zone Building empires on my own [Verse 2] Family functions switching tongue to tongue Turkish wisdom with that German swag, young Underground battles, they question my place Till I spit that fire, put 'em in their space Nightclub bouncers reading my ID Like my name's too foreign for VIP But I own these streets from Kreuzberg to Mitte Cultural chameleon, yeah, I'm getting litty [Bridge] They can't box me in, nah Can't define this shit, yeah Made my own lane In between the game [Verse 3] Mama's prayers meet trap beats in my head Ancient wisdom with designer threads Code-switching like it's second nature Every border crossed made me greater Turkish coffee, German efficiency Mixed up in me naturally Built an empire from this in-between Now they all want tickets to my scene [Outro] In these borderlands That's where I command Built my own brand From no man's land
