1st verse Ju

3rd stanza Ju and Schowi
Outro Ju

In the song the massive tones rap from the point of view of a lyric self . They glorify themselves and describe themselves in the chorus as the "coolest" when they cruise through the city and draw women 's attention to themselves. In the first verse, Ju raps how he disregards traffic rules, flees from the police and searches for a woman with 200 hp , making sure that his gangster image is preserved. The second verse is raped by Schowi, who tells how he is caught by a speed camera and stopped by the police. She wonders about the smoke that comes from the interior of the car due to cannabis consumption. But the police can't find any weed and so he can continue driving through town with the music system and bass turned up . In the outro , Massive Töne address other road users such as BMW , Golf , Audi , Daimler , lowrider and BMX drivers as well as bikers , tricycles and truckers with their message that they are the coolest .

production

The song was produced by music producer Yvan Jacquemet.

Music video

The video is based heavily on the lyrics of the song. Initially, Massive Tones bought a Porsche 928 and drove through the city with it, where you could see them rapping out of the car's sunroof. Ju discovers an attractive woman and stops at her. The other two, Schowi and DJ 5ter Ton, then buy a Mercedes S-Class and drive on through the city, where they get into a radar control and are stopped by the police. She wonders about the smoke that is coming from the interior of the car, but cannot find any drugs and lets the two of them drive on. At the end you see the massive tones in a hall between other people, scantily clad women and cars rapping.
