Herzogin vom Viertel - Borrowed Time Lyrics

[Intro]
Locked down in these four walls, mind's in a maze
Digital screens got me counting the days
Kreuzberg nights, can't escape this haze
Betrayed by Nina, left me in this phase

[Verse 1]
Demo tracks leaked like government lies
Social distance got me paralyzed
Borrowed mics in youth centers, that's my rise
But they stole my sound like they stole my time
Got my papers scattered on the floor
Makeshift studio behind closed doors
Housing projects feel like prison walls
While the system watches, my spirit falls

[Chorus]
Who owns this shit when everything's leaked?
My bars, my space, my life's incomplete
Trapped in the matrix of endless weeks
Trust is broken, the future's bleak
Who owns this shit? Not you, not me
Lost in the static of what used to be

[Verse 2]
Turkish melodies in my headphones flow
While outside the world moves f*cking slow
They took our freedom, called it protocol
Now we're all puppets in their control
Glitchy beats match my scattered brain
Social housing feels like acid rain
Every day's the same damn game
Looking through windows like I'm going insane

[Bridge]
F*ck the system that left us here
Trading privacy for fake-ass fear
Nina leaked my truth, but I'm still clear
Rising from the ashes of this f*cked up year

[Outro]
Still trapped in Kreuzberg's concrete maze
But my mind's free in these endless days
Digital chains can't hold my rage
This is my story, this is my stage
