Herzogin vom Viertel - Firewall Lyrics

[Intro]
Walls up, system's down
Can't trust no one in this f*cking town
Digital prints all over my crown
Everything I built, she tried to drown

[Verse 1]
Growing up in Kreuzberg blocks, papers getting swiped
Now it's demos getting leaked, my art exposed to light
Built my studio in lockdown, thought I found my space
Till that snake called Nina dropped my life all over the place
Childhood trauma resurfacing, social housing scars
Trust issues multiplying like bars behind bars
Mom always said "keep your secrets close"
Now I'm seeing screenshots of my shit getting exposed

[Chorus]
They say protection's just a prison
But these walls keep me alive
Every track I lay down missing
While these vultures f*cking thrive
Built my fortress in isolation
Now it's crumbling day by day
Trust turned into hesitation
Watch my life just slip away

[Verse 2]
Locked down in my bedroom, trying to create
While the world outside is burning, trying to relate
Turkish melodies in my blood keep me sane
But the glitches in my head drive me f*cking insane
Every beat I make's got eyes watching now
Every line I write's got someone breaking down
Nina thought she owned my art, tried to take control
Now I'm fighting demons while my shit's on patrol

[Bridge]
Remember when trust wasn't measured in clicks?
Before every friend came with politics
Before my art became your f*cking fix
Before the world turned into matrix tricks

[Verse 3]
Social distance got me thinking 'bout the space between
All these fake friends acting like they're f*cking clean
Kreuzberg taught me hard lessons 'bout survival
Now my music's got me facing new rivals
Every notification feels like violation
Every leaked track brings more hesitation
But I'm still here, creating through the static
While they try to make my personal shit dramatic

[Chorus]
They say protection's just a prison
But these walls keep me alive
Every track I lay down missing
While these vultures f*cking thrive
Built my fortress in isolation
Now it's crumbling day by day
Trust turned into hesitation
Watch my life just slip away

[Outro]
Keep your distance, maintain the walls
Trust nobody when the system falls
This ain't just music, this is my life
Cut through the noise with a digital knife
