[English]

Mocro Mafia, we stack the cash (Los)

Tabunji Mac

I’m sittin’ in a Mansory Black

The chick’s givin’ head when the Maghrebi spits

Straight from Elias, the guns are real

Faris is back rockin’ Hakim Ziyech’s jersey

In a suit, Faris with a gun in your trunk

That’s Colombian flag

Farid Bang, in Germany I’m a legend

Like Don Omar in Bogotá

I pay a hitman in cryptocurrency

He shoots up your entourage

Gucci monogram on the sweater

Young, ruthless, good-lookin’, and provocative

Grandpa was a guest worker in Europe

Today we’re Mocro Stars, ah

Arabic, Mocro

Outfit by Ferdi, loco

Amati, we stackin’ Dokko

Dick frozen, thick Soto

The money, Amati, is vitamins

Here it’s all 3MMC, Ketamine

Or the Mexicans with the Ephedrine

I got lots of colleagues, but few friends

Oh, damn

With Farid Bang, we’re tight

Amsterdam, we bangin’ here

Don’t know what you’re thinkin’, my whip’s like a tank

Kop Bima near Düsseldorf

Scannin’ myself in Düsseldorf

Half the crew at Bijenkorf

I want Ossos in a fuckin’ village of my own

Viva Maghreb ala Africa

Parlez français ou la darija

Where is from the Zambra Mocro Mafia

Sel3a bediya, denya gheniya

Viva Maghreb ala Africa

Parlez français ou la darija

Where is from the Zambra Mocro Mafia

Sel3a bediya, denya gheniya

If the cops’ boat shows up, we toss everything in the sea

Some are droolin’, we’re all in the shit

One-way trip like a haraga

Damn the hustle when I was sellin’ at the station

I got the Rif’s peufra from the other side of the river

I drift and rob every little bit of cash

Right now, we squat for dirt cheap

Seven, eight moc on Gucci drip

Just smashed a ten out of ten

I preferred the six out of ten

For two million, I’m sittin’ on ten

They shoot, but we survive like Curtis

In their crew, not one denies it

At the bar, roll me two Hakimi

We made cash, ended up at Courrèges

Didn’t need Madame Courrèges

Bang, bang

Arab life, soul from the homeland, homeland

Ale bomaye, anse ale baby gang, gang

Hugo Boss, but I always roll with the TEC, TEC

I got a thousand problems, I don’t step out without my flank, flank

My brother sells drugs, stamps, calls himself Maradona

Harbouche Pepsi, Coca-Cola

Marquise, Wesson, and Marlboro

I’m in the business, fire dora

Mama, I’ll stay solo

And I’ll stay in this home

Every time they mess up, we put ‘em in a coma

Viva Maghreb ala Africa

Parlez français ou la darija

Where is from the Zambra Mocro Mafia

Sel3a bediya, denya gheniya

Viva Maghreb ala Africa

Parlez français ou la darija

Where is from the Zambra Mocro Mafia

Sel3a bediya, denya gheniya

Those hundred packages headin’ to my boat

Passin’ thick stacks of two hundred on the board

You’re loudmouth, Maghreb Mafia wide

Snitches get crossed, hits with the axe

Million-dollar deals sittin’ at a table in Tangier

I’m from Reyes but headin’ to Casablanca

Never talk too much if the deal’s about white

Never talk too much, if you do, they pull AKs

Moroccan with a heart for Gaza

Palestinians on Signal, not WhatsApp

If you snitch, we hit you at home

Paranoia flight, you know what’s up

Lots of millionaires with Maghrebi faces

Livin’ in 21 with a Lambo and the Bendi

Don’t want no mamagasteni by my side

I’m from the streets, I’m like Hakimi

Raised in the streets, but that’s just how it is

Don’t want no drama, bro, shut your mouth

I love Palestine and hate who messes with it

I’m the Arachino, livin’ life loco

Viva Maghreb ala Africa

[German]

Mocro Mafia, we ergern das Cash (Los)

Tabunji Mac

Ich sitze im Mansory Black

Die Nutte bläst, wenn der Maghrebi rappt

Straight from Elias, die Knarren sind echt

Faris ist back im Trikot von Hakim Ziyech

Im Anzug, Faris mit Gun in deinem Kofferraum

Ist kolumbianisches Flag

Farid Bang in Germany bin ich eine Legende

Wie Don Omar in Bogotá

Ich bezahle einen Sicario in Kryptowährung

Er schießt auf deine Entourage

Gucci Monogram auf dem Pullover

Jung, brutal, gutaussehend und provokant

Opa Gastarbeiter in Europa

Heute sind wir Mocro Stars, ah

Arabisch, Mocro

Outfit von Ferdi, loco

Amati, wir stapeln Dokko

Schwanz frozen, dicker Soto

Die Money, Amati, ist Vitamine

Hier ist alles 3MMC, Ketamine

Oder die Mexikaner mit die Ephedrine

Ich hab' viel Kollegas, aber wenig Freunde

Oh, damn

Bin mit Farid Bang, alles eng

Amsterdam, hier wird gebangt

Weiß nicht, was du denkst, mein Waggie like Tank

Kop Bima bei Düsseldorf

Scanne mich selbst in Düsseldorf

Halbe Outches bei Bijenkorf

Ich will Ossos in 'nem fucking eigenen Dorf

Si y a le bateau des keufs, on jette tout dans la mer

Y en a qui bavent, on est tous dans la merde

Aller sans retour comme un haraga

Putain de train de vie quand je vendais à la gare

J'ai la peufra du riff de l'autre côté de la rive

J'dérive et j'dévalise de tout petit fric

En ce moment, on squat et des tout petits prix

Sept, huit moc on Gucci drip

Et j'viens de baiser la dix sur dix

J'ai préféré la six sur dix

Pour deux millions, j'suis assis sur dix

Eux ils tirent mais nous on survit comme Curtis

Dans leur équipe, y en a pas un qui nie

À la canne, roule-moi deux Hakimi

On a fait du cash, on a fini chez Courrèges

Pas eu besoin de Madame Courrèges

Bang, bang

Arab life w nefse mn nefse l'bled, bled

Ale bomaye, anse ale baby gang, gang

Hugo Boss, pero giro siempre con la TEC, TEC

Ho mille problemi, non esco senza mio flank, flank

Khouna vende droga, timbro, digo Maradona

Harbouche Pepsi, Coca-Cola

Marquise, Wesson et Marlboro

Ana business faya dora

Mama l'oma neb9a solo

W la neb9a f had l'homa

Kol ma ychedou nlelhou coma

Sel3a bediya, denya gheniya

Esos cien paquetes suben pa' mi lancha

Pasan fajos gordos de doscientos por la plancha

Tú eres boca ancha, Maghreb Mafia ancha

Chivato se tacha, golpes con el hacha

Tratos de millones senta'o en una mesa en Tánger

Yo soy de la Reyes pero voy pa' Casablanca

Nunca parla' tanto si el trato es de blanca

Nunca parla' tanto, si hablas sacan AK

Marroquí con el corazón Gaza

Palestinos en llamada de Signal no WhatsApp

El que sale que es chivato se le pica en casa

Vuelo paranoia, sabes lo que pasa

Muchos millonarios con la cara de Maghrebi

Vivo en 21 con un Lambo con el Bendi

No quiero a mi lado a los que son mamagasteni

Yo soy de la calle, soy como Hakimi

Criado en la calle pero eso es lo que toca

No quiero chicarma, hermano, cierra tú la boca

Amo a Palestina y odio a quien me la toca

Yo soy el Arachino, vivo vida loca

Key Grammar Structures

• Die Nutte bläst, wenn der Maghrebi rappt

  ➔ Subordinate clause with 'wenn' (Temporal clause)

  ➔ The conjunction 'wenn' introduces a temporal subordinate clause where the verb is placed at the end.

• Ich bezahle einen Sicario in Kryptowährung

  ➔ Accusative case for direct object

  ➔ The masculine noun 'einen Sicario' is in the accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb 'bezahlen'.

• Farid Bang in Germany bin ich eine Legende

  ➔ Verb-second (V2) word order in declarative sentences

  ➔ Even with an adverbial phrase at the start, the verb 'bin' remains in the second position.

• Opa Gastarbeiter in Europa / Heute sind wir Mocro Stars

  ➔ Temporal adverb 'Heute' shifting word order

  ➔ Placing 'Heute' at the start of the sentence forces the verb 'sind' to come immediately after it (inversion).

• Ich habe viel Kollegas, aber wenig Freunde

  ➔ Coordinating conjunctions ('aber')

  ➔ The conjunction 'aber' links two independent clauses without changing the word order.

• Bin mit Farid Bang, alles eng

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of subject/verb)

  ➔ Colloquial German often omits the subject 'ich' in 'Ich bin' for rhythmic flow.

• Ich will Ossos in 'nem fucking eigenen Dorf

  ➔ Dative case after preposition 'in' (shortened: 'nem = in einem)

  ➔ 'In' + 'einem' (dative masculine) contracts to 'nem', indicating location.

• Ich hab' viel Kollegas, aber wenig Freunde

  ➔ Verb contraction ('habe' -> 'hab')

  ➔ Dropping the final '-e' in 'habe' is a common feature in rap and informal speech.
