Paroles
«Give me the fortune, keep the fame,» said my man Louis
I agreed, know what he mean because we live the truest lie
I asked him why we follow the law of the bluest eye
He looked at me, he thought about it Was like, «I'm clueless, why?»
The question was rhetorical, the answer is horrible
Our morals are out of place and got our lives full of sorrow
And so tomorrow comin later than usual
Waitin' on someone to pity us While we findin beauty in the hideous
They say money’s the root of all evil but I can’t tell
YouknowhatImean, pesos, francs, yens, cowrie shells, dollar bills
Or is it the mindstate that’s ill?
Creating crime rates to fill the new prisons they build
Over money and religion there’s more blood to spill
The wounds of slaves in cotton fields that never heal
What’s the deal?
A lot of cats who buy records are straight broke
But my language universal they be recitin my quotes
While R&B singers hit bad notes, we rock the boat
of thought, that my man Louis' statements just provoked
Caught up, in conversations of our personal worth
Brought up, through endangered species status on the planet Earth
Survival tactics means, bustin gats to prove you hard
Your firearms are too short to box with God
Without faith, all of that is illusionary
Raise my son, no vindication of manhood necessary
Not strong
Only aggressive
Not free
We only licensed
Not compassioniate, only polite
Now who the nicest?
Not good but well behaved
Chasin after death
so we can call ourselves brave?
Still livin like mental slaves
Hidin like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin you look twice
Hidin like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin you look twice
Yo, I’m sure that everbody out listenin agree
That everything you see ain’t really how it be
A lot of jokers out runnin in place, chasin the style
Be a lot goin on beneath the empty smile
Most cats in my area be lovin the hysteria
Synthesized surface conceals the interior
America, land of opportunity, mirages and camoflauges
More than usually -- speakin loudly, sayin nothin
You confusin me, you losin me Your game is twisted, want me enlisted -- in your usary
Foolishly, most men join the ranks cluelessly
Buffoonishly accept the deception, believe the perception
Reflection rarely seen across the surface of the lookin glass
Walkin the street, wonderin who they be lookin past
Lookin gassed with them imported designer shades on Stars shine bright, but the light -- rarely stays on Same song, just remixed, different arrangement
Put you on a yacht but they won’t call it a slaveship
Strangeness, you don’t control this, you barely hold this
Screamin brand new, when they just sanitized the old shit
Suppose it’s, just another clever Jedi mind trick
That they been runnin across stars through all the time with
I find it’s distressin, there’s never no in-between
We either niggaz or Kings
We either bitches or Queens
The deadly ritual seems immersed, in the perverse
Full of short attention spans, short tempers, and short skirts
Long barrel automatics released in short bursts
The length of black life is treated with short worth
Get yours first, them other niggaz secondary
That type of illin that be fillin up the cemetary
This life is temporary but the soul is eternal
Separate the real from the lie, let me learn you
Not strong, only aggressive, cause the power ain’t directed
That’s why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive
Not free, we only licensed
Not live, we just excitin
Cause the captors. own the masters. to what we writin
Not compassionate, only polite, we well trained
Our sincerity’s rehearsed in stage, it’s just a game
Not good, but well behaved cause the ca-me-ra survey
most of the things that we think, do, or say
We chasin after death just to call ourselves brave
But everyday, next man meet with the grave
I give a damn if any fam' recall my legacy
I’m tryin to live life in the sight of God’s memory
Like that y’all
A lot of people don’t understand the true criteria of things
Can’t just accept the appearance
Have to get the true essence
They ain’t lookin around
Not strong
Only aggressive
Not free
We only licensed
Not compassioniate, only polite
Now who the nicest?
Not good but well behaved
Chasin after death
so we can call ourselves brave?
Still livin like mental slaves
Hidin like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin you look twice
Hidin like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin you look twice
Hidin like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin you look twice
Hidin like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of oasis makin you look twice
Stop hidin, stop hidin, stop hidin your face
Stop hidin, stop hidin, cause ain’t no hiding place
(Ad libs to fade)
Traduction des paroles
"Donnez - moi la fortune, gardez la renommée", dit Mon homme Louis
Je suis d'accord, sais ce qu'il veut dire parce que nous vivons le mensonge le plus vrai
Je lui ai demandé pourquoi nous suivons la loi de l'œil le plus Bleu
Il m'a regardé, il a pensé que C'était comme «"je suis désemparé, pourquoi?»
La question était rhétorique, la réponse est horrible
Nos mœurs sont hors de propos et nos vies sont pleines de chagrin
Et donc demain viendra plus tard que d'habitude
Waitin' on quelqu'un à de la pitié de nous, Alors que nous findin de la beauté dans le hideux
Ils disent que l'argent est la racine de tout mal mais je ne peux pas dire
YouknowhatImean, pesos, francs, Yens, coquillages de cauris, billets d'un dollar
Ou est-ce le mindstate qui est malade?
Créer des taux de criminalité pour remplir les nouvelles prisons qu'ils construisent
Sur l'argent et la religion il y a plus de sang à verser
Les blessures des esclaves dans les champs de coton qui ne guérissent jamais
Quel est le problème?
Beaucoup de chats qui achètent des disques sont tout droit cassé
Mais mon langage universel ils récitent mes citations
Alors que les chanteurs R & B frappent de mauvaises notes, nous bercons le bateau
de pensée, que les déclarations de mon homme Louis juste provoqué
Pris, dans les conversations de notre valeur personnelle
Élevé, par le statut des espèces menacées sur la planète Terre
Tactiques de survie signifie, Bustin gats pour vous prouver dur
Vos armes à feu sont trop courtes pour boxer avec Dieu
Sans la foi, tout cela est illusoire
Élever mon fils, aucune justification de la virilité nécessaire
Pas fort
Seulement agressif
Pas gratuit
Nous avons seulement autorisé
Pas compatissant, seulement poli
Maintenant, qui le plus beau?
Pas bon mais bien élevé
Chasin après la mort
donc, nous pouvons dire que nous sommes courageux?
Toujours vivre comme des esclaves mentaux
Hidin comme des voleurs dans la nuit de la vie
Illusions d'oasis makin vous regardez deux fois
Hidin comme des voleurs dans la nuit de la vie
Illusions d'oasis makin vous regardez deux fois
Yo, je suis sûr que tout le monde écoute d'accord
Que tout ce que vous voyez n'est pas vraiment comme ça
Beaucoup de jokers sur runnin en place, chasin le style
Beaucoup goin sous vide sourire
La plupart des chats de ma région aiment l'hystérie
