Kayef, "Wir Sind Okay"

I've been enjoying this German dance-rap song for months, but I've hesitated to post it because I could have sworn that the lyrics say "Mein Kampf" several times and that...um...has some negative connotations. And yet it sounded pretty plausible, since that literally means "my fight" or "my struggle," and it's a cliche in rap to describe yourself as a fighter who's had to struggle--isn't that the topic of every other Eminem lyric? (I guess what I'm saying here is that Eminem is as bad as Hitler, and if you want more evidence of that, just check out the new Eminem track). But luckily, Kayef is actually rapping about "Mein Kopf" ("my head") aching after a terrible hangover. I also thought he was rapping about Ed Sheeran...and it turns out he actually is rapping about Ed Sheeran. See, his hangover is so bad that "Selbst Ed Sheeran ist grad zu laut" ("Even Ed Sheeran is just too loud").
