Un message aux petits qui envie la street life:
Ne pas vivre la “Street life”, en avoir peur, n'est pas grave et même il devrait en être ainsi car personne ne devrait envier ce type de vie où la violence et la misère règne.

Common climbed to the top of the rap game and now he is high, higher than clouds (i.e as high/successful as you can get).
Also, note the possible weed metaphor:
How high? So high that I’m past the clouds.

The doctor refers to writing, making him evacute things out of his mind, what’s bothering him, etc. It looks like he’s been writing for 3 years, still continuing with his writing/doctor comparative metaphor, he complains about how a real psychologist would have cost.

A play on “to sing one’s praises,” he wants to make it obvious he’s doing the contrary by stating twice, clearly, in English to avoid any ambiguity: it’s not an anthem to America, it serves to express Till’s disgust for Americanization.
Even though, the general tone of the song tends to feel like an anthem, it’s actually a satire.
“I don’t sing my mother tongue” is also pertinent considering that the English language has made its way into global media all over the world, due considerably to American media and war. Many artists from non-English-speaking countries sing in English, and Till’s use of English here is a rarity amongst most of Rammstein’s music.
The line “this is not a love song” is likely a reference to Public Image Ltd’s song “(This is not) A Love Song”, another satirical song against capitalism and corporate greed.
“I don’t sing my mother’s tongue” is also a reference to immigrants losing their language (and other traditions) from generation to generation. It could be an example that supports the idea that Americans would rather change everyone else so they fit in America then just let the other people develop in their own way.
