Kummer translates to "sorrow" or "grief." It's a poignant word that expresses deep emotional pain or sadness.
In the song, the artist says, "nehm' Mama ihren Kummer" (I take away Mama's sorrow). This line highlights a powerful theme of overcoming past struggles and providing for family, making "Kummer" a central emotional anchor in the lyrics.
"Tattoos im Gesicht" is a boastful German rap track where t-low raps about his fast rise from broke to rich, using face tattoos as a symbol of his new identity and status.
He repeats that he doesn't need Xanax ("keine Xans") because the "Xanny Bar" already has him, a line about substance use and escapism inside the fame he's built. He raps about being honest with his friends while lying to himself, about being interesting to women because of his face tattoos, and about going blind from cash and stacking ice on his wrist.
The middle verses lean into the come-up story: nobody made him, he sees himself as a born star, and he's climbed alone from nothing to a quarter million a month. He calls out an industry full of fakes, describes women chasing his attention, and contrasts his real rap career with rappers who only perform for the crowd. He closes by reminding everyone he was broke and already tatted in the face before any of this happened, the tattoos came before the money, not after.
