In the streets, where we come from,

there´s one law, they call: SURVIVE!

Unemployment has its victims,

In the backyards they sell „ice“.

There are generals telling young boys:

„Our foe is the police!

There is only black and white boy!

There is war, no chance for peace!“

And the dark wise man is laughing

´bout your sorrows and your faults

he´s inside us and he´s laughing

while he hears our crying souls

Born to lose – live to win

Born to lose – live to win

You grow up and you may see that

there is more than black and white.

You don´t have to be a gangster,

can get out to see the lights!

What a fool, who needs a gun to

prove his strength, to show his force.

He is sure, he´s in the limelight.

But we know, he´s on the course.

And the dark wise man is laughing

´bout your sorrows and your faults

he´s inside us and he´s laughing

while he hears our crying souls

Born to lose – live to win

Born to lose – live to win

You don´t need this blackened shadow,

if you´re checkin´, he´s a foe,

Leave your hood, go out for living,

and the dark man has to go.

Born to lose – live to win

Born to lose – live to win
