Hallo Mädchen, hör mal zu
morgen früh so gegen vier
komm ich, um dich abzuholen
warte an der Hintertür
schreib noch einen Abschiedsbrief
kleb ihn an den Küchenschrank:
Liebe Eltern, 1.000 Dank
doch eure Welt, die macht mich krank
Wir fahren durch die leeren Straßen
weit raus auf die Autobahn
wo die zu Ende ist, fängt unser Horizont an !
Und dann werden sie uns suchen
doch sie finden uns nie
und die Spießer fluchen:
Das ist Anarchie !
Born to be wild
Born to be wild, yeah
Sieh dir doch die Typen an
Baby, ich habs kapiert
Moskau, Bonn und Pentagon
sie labern rum und nix passiert
soll 'n sie doch ihre Paläste schließen
und alle Waffen ins Weltall schießen
doch sie klopfen nur falsche Sprüche
und machen den Planeten kaputt
Doch wir, wir sind ganz schön viele
und wir werden immer mehr
und für unsern Sieg
brauchen wir keinen Krieg, no !
Born to be wild
Born to be wild, yeah
Wir heizen durch die leeren Straßen
weit raus auf die Autobahn
und wo die zu Ende ist, fängt unser Horizont an !
Born to be wild
Born to be wild, yeah
Und die Spießer werden fluchen
weil du für sie bist:
Affe, Sympathisant und Kommunist
und die Spießer werden fluchen
weil du für sie bist:
Anarchist, Asozialer, Radikaler und Kriminaler
Born to be wild
Born to be wild, yeah
Said, she's born to be wild and she can't be tamed
And all she wants in life is fortune and fame
So she keeps on moving, moving right along
Even though she knows deep down inside
She knows something is wrong
Well, they no idle jubee dem couldn't cotch pon my pillow
Weh a love man for Nike and a love man for Fila
Dat's, dat's not the ways of anciento war gorilla
Me rather den to save all my sarsaparilla
Then on a lonesome breezy Sunday morning
This maiden came to town, me have to blick a sound
How she so cute and plus so sexy and so round
Sunlight catch her skin and Lord it good from head to ground
Next candidate me see who fit fi wear mi crown
And such tender smiles amaze me
The way that she looks Sunday night
She should be having my baby, my baby
The pleasure was all mine
Like yesterday news it's only for a time
Always on the go because she live a life, ah, crime
She don't want no man fi mind it
Di Muffin say dat he couldn't believe I was living so blindly
Said, she's born to be wild and she can't be tamed
And all she wants in life is fortune and fame
So she keeps on moving, moving right along
Even though she knows deep down inside
She knows something is wrong
Well, no shandy, strictly imported tequila
Vintage brandy, skunk sensemilia
Rubies and roses, diamond collar
Never check me for a money, nor a penny, nor a dollar
She can't go to London without visa
Me can't build me spliff dem without rizzla
Dem say, "Look out the door and you know di weather"
Me start put two and two together
First class flights and she drinks the most expensive wines
When she can't maintain her lifestyle upon minimum wages
She needs the coil
And just like a stubborn mule, I would tell you that is all she's worth
Well, tha smuggling and trafficking
Of illegal substances is her line of work
Me say a good woman ration
Most of di gyal dem get so caught up inna fashion
Love vanity, dem seem dem love it with a passion
Start to used dem body for some dirty profession
Seem like dem need spiritual supervision
Ital craft and a ital vision
Righteous path and a righteous decision
Instead of the materialistic religion
Else there's gonna be a crash course and collision
Said, she's born to be wild and she can't be tamed
And all she wants in life is fortune and fame
So she keeps on moving, moving right along
Even though she knows deep down inside
She knows something was wrong
Well, then it's all history
Me go up on a ends fi chack a one jubilee
Di way she rub me down and makin' me feel so nice
Me say haffi left and go ah studio go voice
Ariana, please stay home tonight
Ariana, please don't take that flight
Smuggling di drugs weh dem supply to di poor
Destruction of my people, well, then she's got to go
Tell her nah fi mix up inna those drugs before
She said she want fi go up on a smuggling tour
She missing gangsta parcel, dem say her skull fi bore
She don't have all di dollars, weh fi ever the score
But she wanna run her own drug store
Well, she said she's born to be wild and she can't be tamed
And all she wants in life is fortune and fame
So she keeps on moving, moving right along
Even though she knows deep down inside
She knows something was wrong
She's born to be wild and she can't be tamed
And all she wants in life is fortune and fame
So she keeps on moving, moving right along
Even though she knows deep down inside

(Get ready to get busy)
[VERSE 1]
It's been so long and I paid my dues
And with rhymes like these, yo, Shan can't lose
You won't believe the strange thought that ocurred to me
So intense, it absolutely startled me
I knew that I was buggin when I stopped walkin:
"I think that you should hear me, I'm your conscience talkin
If you don't wanna listen, hey, it ain't no thing
You rap for a living, but you wish you could sing
You think your life is complete, there's a lot that you're missing
You enjoy making music for the people to listen
Hip-hop is your life, by oath you've sworn
Now it's time to start the mission for which you were born
You've acquired a rep, now you're labelled a villain
But I don't really care, Shan'll always be chillin
That's why I'm tryin to say, that's just part of your style
You were (born to be) wild, wild"
(Born to be) wild, wild
(Born to be) wild, wild
(Born to be) wild, wild
[Steppenwolf] (Born to be)
(Cut it nice)
(Get ready to get busy)
[VERSE 2]
I couldn't forget, no matter how I tried
But my conscience just wouldn't let a day go by
All day long I watched and observed
No, I gotta be jokin, that's word to Herb
I can take a lickin and keep on smilin
Who needs a license to ill, I was born to be wildin
Rhymes sweeter than a premium vintage grape
From the paper I knew it'd sound dope on tape
Never in a rush, I'm Cold Chillin'
And the next perpetrator I find, I'm killin
Just ask your boys how many heads I flew
And that's why I roll with the Juice Crew
That voice in my mind taught me one lesson
I was born to be wild, and only suckers be fessin
I knew I had a purpose since the days of a child
I was (born to be) wild, wild
(Born to be) wild, wild
(Born to be) wild, wild
(Born to be) wild, wild
(Born to be)
(Cut it nice)
(Get ready to get busy)
[VERSE 3]
The meaning of 'wild' is not screaming and yelling
It's 'bout showing and proving and not showing and telling
All you counterfeit rappers, you might as well quit
You'll never hear me say I'm bad, bein wild is the shit
Rap symbol, and never been defeated yet
If rap is a crime, how much time I get?
The best impersonator couldn't copy my style
And even if he did, you know what I'd do, I'll -
As a matter of fact, it's what I already did
I pulled out a rhyme and cold blasted his lip
Most opponents get on, they're guilty as tried
They're diggin and stripped of whole manhood and pride
Don't be brave and save yourself half of the bill
You can't chop me with a saw cause your ass should chill
When they're slippin on the cuts I gracefully smile
Cause I was (born to be) wild, wild
(Born to be) wild, wild
(Born to be) wild, wild
(Born to be) wild, wild
(Born to be)
(Cut it nice)
(Get ready to get busy)
[VERSE 4]
Born to be wild, I'm takin command
While you're performin people screamin out: "We want Shan!"
I'm colder than ice and hot as a flame
And my rhymes are always clever, but they're never the same
What's wrong with your girl? Somebody ought to stop her
For bein in the presence of a low-life rapper
This rhymin was pressed as a special edition
I was born to be wild and you're the one on a mission
Allow me to say that I weaken resistance
Makin examples just to prove my mortal existence
Born to be wild means a prototype
And the roar of the crowd increases the hype
You have to be bold to try and steal my rhyme
Or even to dis cause you think that I'm
A sucker, a softie, or even a child
But I was (born to be) wild, wild
(Born to be) wild, wild
(Born to be) wild, wild
(Born to be) wild, wild
(Born to be)
(Cut it nice)
