[Intro: Promoe]

Askin for nothing more settle for nothing less

Because we askin for nothing more, settle for nothin' less

Nosliw!


[Chorus: Nosliw]

What is my identity

Ich weiss nicht wirklich wo ich hingehör

Ich hab keine Verbindung mehr

What is my identity

Wie kann ich zu mir selber finden wer

Sagt mir wer ich wirklich bin


[Vers 1]

Ok! to the ones that are most important

Friends and family, I'm known as Mårten

Been around from my beard was short

And the things that I know it was them that taught

Them to the rap scene I'm known from the touring

Promoe - hear my name from the audience

Tryin to make some money but the tax department

Know me as a number and the law enforcement

See me as the enemy is that my identity?

Lookin at the man in the mirror now can it be

Is it me? isn't he? wishin we...

What? is somebody listening?

Am I all alone let me call the phone

Ain't no answer what my father grown

Hooked up with Nosliw vibes are positive

Apprecialove what I got at home

But I've been around the world and I

Can not really stop from wondering why

They need a task force to ask for my passport

What nationality, credit or cash flow

Social security number

Where I been what I already done but

That can't explain who I am

What kind of a man most of all why I feel so redundant


[Chorus: Nosliw]


[Vers 2]

Ich musste ständig leben mit dem kleinen Unteschied

Dunkel zu sein in einer weissen Bundesrepublik

´nen Vater gab es nicht ich kannte auch

Sonst keine ander´n die sich in einer ähnlichen Situation befanden

Woher ich komm wohin ich hingehöre weiss ich nicht

Unde ohne festen Stand verliert man schnell das Gleichgewicht ich

Frag´mich was soll mit mir sein wie sieht die Zukunft aus

Wenn ich doch meine Wurzeln für gesundes Wachstum brauch

´ich suche immer noch nach meinem wahren Ich ich muss

Es wissen wer ich bin für eine klare Sicht

Ich bin mir selber fremd weiss

Nicht wie´s weiter geht mir fehlt die eigene Identität


[Chorus: Nosliw]

Because we askin for nothin' mo we settle for nothin' less

In life we need something more than just shopping for happiness

No more comin from out the store with heavy bags

Full of nothingness cus I'm sure that ain't who we are but what's

The answer for my quiz?

What is my identity am i living my life like it was meant to be how can

We know what's our identity when they've been lying bout our history

What is my identity am i living my life like it was meant to be how can

We know what's our identity when they've been lying bout our history


[Chorus: Nosliw]
