**[Intro – Spoken, langsamer Beat]**
*Mann:* Yo… where the roots at?
*Frau (echo):* Roots at…
*Mann:* Third generation, still searchin’.
*Frau (echo):* Searchin’…
*Mann:* Let’s ride.
*Frau (echo, flüsternd):* Ride…
**[Verse 1 – Mann, Beat 1/4-Takt]**
Yo, third gen, Dad, where you hidin’ at?
*Frau (echo):* Where you at?
Left your mark, streets talkin’ back.
I’m walkin’ blocks, shadows under my kicks,
*Frau (echo):* Shadows under my kicks…
Tryna piece the puzzle, life’s dirty tricks.
Hands in pockets, soul full of scars,
*Frau (echo):* Full of scars…
Lookin’ for light, but streets leave bars.
*Frau (echo, schnell):* Streets leave bars…
**[Hook – Frau, catchy beat]**
I’ve been searchin’, yeah, I’ve been lookin’ too,
*Echo (Mann):* Lookin’ too…
Pieces of the past, tryin’ to see it through.
Two lost voices, but we won’t fade,
*Echo (Mann):* Won’t fade…
Shinin’ in the dark, even if the world betrayed.
*Echo (Mann):* Betrayed…
**[Verse 2 – Mann, schneller Flow]**
Yo, these streets whisper, got me thinkin’ twice,
*Frau (echo):* Thinkin’ twice…
Tryna find peace in a world full of ice.
Chains of my blood, heavy on my chest,
*Frau (echo):* Heavy on my chest…
But I grind, I hustle, gotta be my best.
*Frau (echo, schnell):* Be my best…
**[Bridge – Frau, melodiös]**
Step by step, we break the chain,
*Echo (Mann):* Break the chain…
Pain in the heart, but we rise again.
Side by side, through struggle and fight,
*Echo (Mann):* Through struggle and fight…
Lost ones glowin’ in the city night.
*Echo (Mann, schnell):* City night…
**[Verse 3 – Duet, Call-and-Response]**
*Mann:* Third gen, still searchin’ my roots,
*Frau (echo):* My roots…
*Mann:* Streets full of shadows, but I light my flame,
*Frau (echo):* Light my flame…
*Mann:* Life hits hard, yeah, we take every punch,
*Frau (echo):* Every punch…
*Together:* No matter how far, no matter how deep,
We run the game, no time for sleep.
**[Hook – Duet, Beat hoch]**
*Mann:* Third gen, where you at?
*Frau (echo):* Where you at…
*Frau:* We found our path.
*Mann (echo):* Found our path…
*Mann:* Streets tried to break us, tried to play,
*Frau (echo):* Tried to play…
*Frau:* But we shine, never fade away.
*Together:* Lost but strong, rise from the scars,
Third generation, we the stars.
**[Outro – Spoken, langsam]**
*Mann:* For the fathers we lost, for the streets we roam.
*Frau (echo):* Streets we roam…
*Frau:* For the voices echoin’, for the ones far from home.
*Together:* Third generation, fire in our veins,
We keep runnin’, breakin’ chains, makin’ gains.
