Music and lyrics
Ferrari is a Trapsong whose beat according to the genre of deep 808 - bass drums , fast hi-hats and snares dominated. The vocal performance alternates between rapped stanzas, some of which are performed in double- time style, and a sung refrain that clearly borrows from the arabesque and was mostly written in Turkish . Eno raps the first verse and sings the German part of the hook, while Mero performs the second verse and the Turkish half of the chorus. Both artists use the autotune vocal effect in places . In terms of content, the artists extol their lifestyle, their success and their popularity, while the listener is threatened not to mess with them because of their weapons . The motif of the car ride runs through the entire text .
