Toni Cottura (born June 7, 1971), better known by his stage name Smooth T., is a German Eurodance and hip-hop producer and rapper.

Musical career

He started his career in 1988 as a hip-hop producer with David Fascher and later worked with DJ Shahin.

In 1993, he founded the Eurodance group Fun Factory, where he started as a producer, songwriter and dancer, before moving up to rapping on the band's second album. Cottura and partner Bülent Aris disbanded Fun Factory in 1996 to concentrate on their burgeoning hip-hop collective, Booya Family.

My Life

by: Tony Cottura

Step into my life
Step into my life
Theres nothing to loose
Step into my life
Now don¹t be confused
Come into my life and let me show you how I¹m livin.
How is givin a few, takin and never forgivin.
Roose out the gutter never had to rely on another,
now I turn the shit around,
see me smile at the front cover.
Once a limp, stitch turntricks,
now we stick the chips and we make the hits.
25 grant for a show, never touched the snow, drink champagne in the limo.
Set my girl up with a house in Miami,
PappaŒs new born got a bear named Teddy.
Diamond braceletts, gold chains and sunshades with goldframes,
swiss bank account on both names.
Take you to a journey where my live is to lim
I can show you things, you never knew they exist.
Places and people, that had to struggle to survive,
and now you know, it¹s just a chapter of my life.
Step into my life
Theres nothing to loose
Step into my life
Now don¹t be confused
Step into my life with me
Step into my world and see
Step into my life
Come with me, open your eyes and look around,
what do you see? Envy and jealousy!
I was born here, one day I said stop.
Turned the negative to positive and just dropped.
I decide, if I can so can you,
you can make a difference with the right attitude
Now you see me spending ends to myself,
I deserve this, with hard work, my friend!
The right moves at the right time, with the mximum risk,
a gold card of the right memebership.
It¹s all about, who you know and you don¹t know.
That¹s no joke and if you don¹t, it¹s like a slowboat
I guess, right you know exactly what I¹m sayinŒ,
without no delay, Pappa¹s champagninŒ
Keep the right appereance if you wanna survive
and that was the second chapter of my life.
Step into my life
Theres nothing to loose
Step into my life
Now don¹t be confused
Step into my life with me
Step into my world and see
Step into my life
Let me be the one, let me show you how it¹s done.
Not just for fun, but for pure education.
Let me spread my words, my rhymes accross the nation.
Get a grip, take control of your life.
Appreciate your birth and your one and only wife,
don¹t let your fantasies die and fade away.
In fact get paid , enjoy the price
And that was the thrid chapter of my life
Step into my life
Theres nothing to loose
Step into my life
Now don¹t be confused
Step into my life with me
Step into my world and see
Step into my life
And this is for the kids always believe in yourself,
always listen to your heart, step into your own life.
No violence, no drugs!
Know what I mean? You got only one life!
