Erfolg ist kein Glück - Kontra K

Copied!
{Verse 1}
Where they fail, you have to attack
Shift into a higher gear
And even when the rest give up, you have to bite on to it
Keep at it, tense up and persevere
Don't confuse luck with skill, but never doubt your skill
Never enough, but also never too big goals
Turn the air in your lungs into gasoline for the engine
Turn the envy of so many into oil for the gearbox
New day, new luck, new rules, new players
Flying high means falling deep
But without great sacrifices, there are no great victories
We hear no "No," no "That's not possible," no "The way is too far"
'Cause only with blood, sweat, and tears, you can pay for infinity
And I don't know any other way
And even if I did: Once you appreciate the value, you pay the real price
You say you can't, then you just don't want to, quite simple
Talent is just practice and practice makes perfect
{Chorus}
Success is not luck
But only the result of blood, sweat, and tears
Life pays everything back eventually
It all depends on what you are—shadow or light?
Success is not luck
But only the result of blood, sweat, and tears
Life pays everything back eventually
It all depends on what you are—shadow or light?
{Verse 2}
New try, new luck
It's too late for nothing yet
'Cause you only reap as much as you give
And then, when your flame goes out, you were just a small light
Or a fire as high as houses that burns even in strong winds
You have to want it like your lungs want the air to breathe
'Cause you only grow wings if you have the courage to jump
If I fall, I stay down, I get up harder and fly
Only those who are afraid falling have to crawl their whole lives
Never get down on your knees, always look towards the sun
Save the view in case there'll be bolts and thunders for a while
Even if sometimes you lose, you have to come back better than when you left
The will turns the flesh on your bones into concrete
Nothing is for free
You have to walk every inch yourself 'cause nothing will come on its own
Motivated, tunnel vision to the goal
'Cause when if not now? And who if not us?
{Chorus}
Success is not luck
But only the result of blood, sweat, and tears
Life pays everything back eventually
It all depends on what you are—shadow or light?
Success is not luck
But only the result of blood, sweat, and tears
Life pays everything back eventually
It all depends on what you are—shadow or light?
{Verse 3}
No more time to wait, I let the others sleep for me
Those who always dream of success, but I'll keep going until it's there
Talent is hard work, perfection takes years
If they shout that I have it easy, then unfortunately, y'all have no idea
We come from deep in the dark against expectation
Hate and envy, blood and sweat only give life more experience
Perseverance is the key to glory
There is much that I lack, but I've had enough of that
{Chorus}
Success is not luck
But only the result of blood, sweat, and tears
Life pays everything back eventually
It all depends on what you are—shadow or light?
Success is not luck
But only the result of blood, sweat, and tears
Life pays everything back eventually
It all depends on what you are—shadow or light?
