The lyrics primarily focus on Samy's relationship to Germany and caused a controversy due to its blatant call for more patriotism.

In the title song "Dis wo ich herkomm", Samy rates the situation in Germany and calls for more national pride.

There, he asserted that Germany was a good basis for cultural diversity and enabled him to get involved with society which is more important to him than material wealth.

[2] Samy Deluxe, the son of a German mother and a Sudanese father,[3] also treats the subject of being an ethnic minority within a white society.

[5][6] The title song Dis wo ich herkomm caused controversy due to the following lines: Und wir haben kein’ Nationalstolz, und das alles bloß wegen Adolf - ja toll, schöne Scheiße, der Typ war doch eigentlich ’n Österreicher.

[7] In a comment on the website Verbrochenes.net, the editor wrote that Samy Deluxe's "national utopia covered everything from the Green party to the right fringe of the CDU".

[12] Later on, Samy Deluxe said he did not understand why the activists reproached him with racism, since his band consists of dark-skinned musicians and he is black himself.

The hip hop magazine Juice was not able to reach a unanimous review and thus printed to different opinions called "Battle of the Ear".

[14] The topics of the album were also treated in a book published in June 2009 by Rowohlt Verlag and called Dis wo ich herkomm: Deutschland Deluxe.

He describes his memories of his childhood, his life as a misfit, the beginnings of his career as a musician in Hamburg, the fame resulting therefrom, his view on Germany and young people's problems.

[16] Furthermore, the organization Crossover e. V. and Samy Deluxe arranged a tour through Germany with the motto "Dis wo ich herkomm – die Deutschlandreise".

Deluxe's intention was to "find out more about Germany, to wake cultural interest in the adolescents and to approach people and unknown subjects more openly".
