Free
Daniel Anthony Farris
What if I used to be a president in a past life?
With a match and a pipe
And a top hat in the back of ride
In a chariot, chasin' Harriet through the night
I barely get sleep, my karma owe me much drama
Men are sheep, I sold three last summer
A black back ain't exact until it got stripes
Beat that boy 'til he collapse
Tease that boy, make him fight his brother
Make him hate his mama, make him blame his father, you
Follow the rules and they always gon' do what they do
Never revolt, never rebel, Willie Lynch taught us just how to sell
White lies to these black lives, and if you train 'em, then they act right
But whatever you do
Free like my energy (don't ask why)
Free like my enemies
Free like the soul of my homies
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free
Yes, I'm free
I am free like my paradigm
Shifting my state of mind
Listen to my creator
Make sure that I stay aligned
Yes, I'm free
¿Quihúbole, carnal? (my brother)
Me pueden poner en cadenas (they can put me in chains)
Me pueden encarcelar (they can lock me up)
Pero no me pueden atrapar la mente (but they can't trap my mind)
Lamentablemente han tratado de hacer esclavos de mi gente (they tried to make slaves of my people)
Pero del corazón hay un fuente (but from our heart runs a fountain)
Corriente (flowing)
Siguiente (continuing)
Sí se puede (yes, I can)
Si Dios quiere (god willing)
Vamos
What if I was to leave some evidence?
Like a crack pipe or the shell of a nine
Milli' or a philly with plenty of my saliva
'Cause I hit the blunt one too many times
Blood, we can hit 'em up
They got four, five racks in the safe
And they don't come back 'til it's late
Plus I got another three in the mattress by the atlas
Put us on the map with the cake, yeah
At least that's what we thought
No, not me, nigga, we get caught? Yeah right
Then peeking out the window, a nigga see them red and blue lights, oh shit
Bro, we gotta go, nigga, no shit
Hit the back road, clear the whole fence
But in the process
A nigga dropped the whole four-fifth
And they circled the block
Free like my energy (I got caught)
Free like my enemies
Free like the soul of my homies
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free (Plus that canine tore out half my calf)
Yes, I'm free (I don't know how to do this time, I guess I better ask my dad, so pass my past)
I am free like my paradigm
Shifting my state of mind
Listen to my creator
Make sure that I stay aligned
Yes, I'm free
Ay
What if I was to need some medicine for my lymph nodes?
I'm a pimp with these hoes
My bitch gave me kiss and my neck was swole
I was in the studio next to Smoke
And the big homie BJ said, "Boy, get that checked out"
Guillotine flow, don't stick your neck out
Nigga, I'm chis', I spit that best out
But I ain't tryna be stretched out
So I went up to Kaiser, my surprise was the diagnosis
What? Cancer? I'm twenty-two plus when I spit, I'm dope as shit
I went through that chemo and radiation
Stem cell transplant, the patients
Next to me in they eighties
I'm just a baby
Free like my energy (but now my soul is free)
Free like my enemies
Free like the soul of my homies
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free
Yes, I'm free
I am free like my paradigm
Shifting my state of mind
Listen to my creator
Make sure that I stay aligned
Yes, I'm free
God is so good, so good, so good
God is so good, so good to me
God is so good, so good, so good
God is so good, he's so good to me
What if I used to be a president in a past life?
E se eu fosse um presidente em uma vida passada?
With a match and a pipe
Com um fósforo e um cachimbo
And a top hat in the back of ride
E um chapéu-coco no banco de trás
In a chariot, chasin' Harriet through the night
Em uma carruagem, perseguindo Harriet pela noite
I barely get sleep, my karma owe me much drama
Eu mal consigo dormir, meu karma me deve muito drama
Men are sheep, I sold three last summer
Os homens são como ovelhas, vendi três no verão passado
A black back ain't exact until it got stripes
Um casaco preto não é exato até que tenha listras
Beat that boy 'til he collapse
Bata nesse garoto até ele cair
Tease that boy, make him fight his brother
Provoque esse garoto, faça-o lutar contra o irmão
Make him hate his mama, make him blame his father, you
Faça-o odiar sua mãe, faça-o culpar seu pai, você
Follow the rules and they always gon' do what they do
Siga as regras e eles sempre vão fazer o que fazem
Never revolt, never rebel, Willie Lynch taught us just how to sell
Nunca se revoltam, nunca se rebelam, Willie Lynch nos ensinou como vender
White lies to these black lives, and if you train 'em, then they act right
Mentiras brancas para essas vidas negras, e se você os treinar, eles agirão certo
But whatever you do
Mas seja o que for que você faça
Free like my energy (don't ask why)
Livre como a minha energia (não pergunte por quê)
Free like my enemies
Livre como os meus inimigos
Free like the soul of my homies
Livre como a alma dos meus amigos
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free
Livre como um pecador, sim, eu sou livre
Yes, I'm free
Sim, eu sou livre
I am free like my paradigm
Eu sou livre como o meu paradigma
Shifting my state of mind
Mudando meu estado de espírito
Listen to my creator
Ouça o meu criador
Make sure that I stay aligned
Certifique-se de que eu permaneça alinhado
Yes, I'm free
Sim, eu sou livre
¿Quihúbole, carnal? (my brother)
Quihúbole, carnal? (Meu irmão)
Me pueden poner en cadenas (they can put me in chains)
Podem me colocar em correntes (eles podem me prender em correntes)
Me pueden encarcelar (they can lock me up)
Podem me aprisionar (eles podem me trancar)
Pero no me pueden atrapar la mente (but they can't trap my mind)
Mas não podem aprisionar minha mente (mas não podem aprisionar minha mente)
Lamentablemente han tratado de hacer esclavos de mi gente (they tried to make slaves of my people)
Infelizmente, tentaram escravizar meu povo (eles tentaram escravizar meu povo)

What if I was to leave some evidence?
E se eu deixasse algumas provas?
Like a crack pipe or the shell of a nine
Como um cachimbo de crack ou a cápsula de uma nove milímetros
Milli' or a philly with plenty of my saliva
Ou um cigarro de Filadélfia com bastante da minha saliva
'Cause I hit the blunt one too many times
Porque dei muitas tragadas na erva
Blood, we can hit 'em up
Sangue, podemos atacá-los
They got four, five racks in the safe
Eles têm quatro, cinco mil em cofre
And they don't come back 'til it's late
E eles não voltam até tarde
Plus I got another three in the mattress by the atlas
Além disso, tenho mais três no colchão, perto do atlas
Put us on the map with the cake, yeah
Nos colocamos no mapa com o dinheiro, yeah
At least that's what we thought
Pelo menos era o que pensávamos
No, not me, nigga, we get caught? Yeah right
Não, não eu, mano, seremos pegos? Yeah, certo
Then peeking out the window, a nigga see them red and blue lights, oh shit
Então olhando pela janela, um cara vê as luzes vermelhas e azuis, oh merda
Bro, we gotta go, nigga, no shit
Cara, temos que sair, não tem jeito
Hit the back road, clear the whole fence
Pegue a estrada de trás, pule a cerca inteira
But in the process
Mas no processo
A nigga dropped the whole four-fifth
Um cara deixou cair a nove milímetros inteira
And they circled the block
E eles cercaram o quarteirão
Free like my energy (I got caught)
Livre como minha energia (fui pego)
Free like my enemies
Livre como meus inimigos
Free like the soul of my homies
Livre como a alma dos meus camaradas
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free (Plus that canine tore out half my calf)
Livre como um pecador, sim, eu sou livre (Além disso, aquele cão rasgou metade da minha panturrilha)
Yes, I'm free (I don't know how to do this time, I guess I better ask my dad, so pass my past)
Sim, eu sou livre (eu não sei como enfrentar isso, acho melhor perguntar para o meu pai, passo meu passado)
I am free like my paradigm

Hey
What if I was to need some medicine for my lymph nodes?
E se eu precisasse de remédio para meus gânglios linfáticos?
I'm a pimp with these hoes
Eu sou um cafetão com essas vadias
My bitch gave me kiss and my neck was swole
Minha garota me deu um beijo e meu pescoço estava inchado
I was in the studio next to Smoke
Eu estava no estúdio ao lado do Smoke
And the big homie BJ said, "Boy, get that checked out"
E o mano BJ disse: "Cara, verifique isso"
Guillotine flow, don't stick your neck out
Fluxo guilhotina, não exponha seu pescoço
Nigga, I'm chis', I spit that best out
Cara, estou em forma, eu cuspo o melhor
But I ain't tryna be stretched out
Mas não estou tentando ser esticado
So I went up to Kaiser, my surprise was the diagnosis
Então fui ao Kaiser, minha surpresa foi o diagnóstico
What? Cancer? I'm twenty-two plus when I spit, I'm dope as shit
O quê? Câncer? Tenho vinte e dois anos e quando eu cuspo, sou foda

¿Y si solía ser un presidente en una vida pasada?

En un carro, persiguiendo a Harriet por la noche

Lamentablemente han tratado de hacer esclavos de mi gente (they tried to make slaves of my people)
Leider haben sie versucht, Sklaven aus meinem Volk zu machen (sie haben versucht, Sklaven aus meinem Volk zu machen)
Pero del corazón hay un fuente (but from our heart runs a fountain)

Los geht's
What if I was to leave some evidence?
Was wäre, wenn ich einige Beweise hinterlassen würde?
Like a crack pipe or the shell of a nine
Wie eine Crack-Pfeife oder die Hülle einer Neun
Milli' or a philly with plenty of my saliva
Milli' oder ein Philly mit viel von meinem Speichel
'Cause I hit the blunt one too many times
Denn ich habe den Joint ein paar Mal zu oft geraucht
Blood, we can hit 'em up
Blut, wir können sie treffen
They got four, five racks in the safe
Sie haben vier, fünf Racks im Safe
And they don't come back 'til it's late
Und sie kommen nicht zurück, bis es spät ist
Plus I got another three in the mattress by the atlas
Außerdem habe ich noch drei in der Matratze beim Atlas
Put us on the map with the cake, yeah
Setze uns mit dem Kuchen auf die Karte, ja
At least that's what we thought
Zumindest dachten wir das
No, not me, nigga, we get caught? Yeah right
Nein, nicht ich, Nigga, wir werden erwischt? Ja klar
Then peeking out the window, a nigga see them red and blue lights, oh shit
Dann schaue ich aus dem Fenster, ein Nigga sieht diese roten und blauen Lichter, oh Scheiße
Bro, we gotta go, nigga, no shit
Bruder, wir müssen gehen, Nigga, keine Scheiße
Hit the back road, clear the whole fence
Nimm die Hinterstraße, räume den ganzen Zaun
But in the process
Aber im Prozess
A nigga dropped the whole four-fifth
Ein Nigga ließ die ganze Vier-Fünftel fallen
And they circled the block
Und sie umkreisten den Block
Free like my energy (I got caught)
Frei wie meine Energie (ich wurde erwischt)
Free like my enemies
Frei wie meine Feinde
Free like the soul of my homies
Frei wie die Seele meiner Homies
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free (Plus that canine tore out half my calf)
Frei wie ein Sünder, ja, ich bin frei (Außerdem hat dieser Hund die Hälfte meiner Wade herausgerissen)
Yes, I'm free (I don't know how to do this time, I guess I better ask my dad, so pass my past)
Ja, ich bin frei (Ich weiß nicht, wie ich diese Zeit durchstehen soll, ich sollte wohl meinen Vater fragen, also gib mir meine Vergangenheit)
I am free like my paradigm
Ich bin frei wie mein Paradigma
Shifting my state of mind
Verändere meinen Geisteszustand
Listen to my creator
Höre auf meinen Schöpfer
Make sure that I stay aligned
Stelle sicher, dass ich ausgerichtet bleibe
Yes, I'm free
Ja, ich bin frei
Ay
Ay
What if I was to need some medicine for my lymph nodes?
Was wäre, wenn ich Medizin für meine Lymphknoten bräuchte?
I'm a pimp with these hoes
Ich bin ein Zuhälter mit diesen Huren
My bitch gave me kiss and my neck was swole
Meine Schlampe gab mir einen Kuss und mein Hals war geschwollen
I was in the studio next to Smoke
Ich war im Studio neben Smoke
And the big homie BJ said, "Boy, get that checked out"
Und der große Homie BJ sagte: „Junge, lass das untersuchen“
Guillotine flow, don't stick your neck out
Guillotine-Flow, strecke deinen Hals nicht aus
Nigga, I'm chis', I spit that best out
Nigga, ich bin Chis', ich spucke das Beste aus
But I ain't tryna be stretched out
Aber ich will nicht ausgebreitet sein
So I went up to Kaiser, my surprise was the diagnosis
Also ging ich zu Kaiser, meine Überraschung war die Diagnose
What? Cancer? I'm twenty-two plus when I spit, I'm dope as shit
Was? Krebs? Ich bin zweiundzwanzig plus, wenn ich spucke, bin ich dope as shit
I went through that chemo and radiation
Ich durchlief diese Chemo und Strahlung
Stem cell transplant, the patients
Stammzelltransplantation, die Patienten
Next to me in they eighties
Neben mir in ihren Achtzigern
I'm just a baby
Ich bin nur ein Baby
Free like my energy (but now my soul is free)
Frei wie meine Energie (aber jetzt ist meine Seele frei)
Free like my enemies
Frei wie meine Feinde
Free like the soul of my homies
Frei wie die Seele meiner Homies
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free
Frei wie ein Sünder, ja, ich bin frei
Yes, I'm free

What if I used to be a president in a past life?
E se fossi stato un presidente in una vita passata?
With a match and a pipe
Con un fiammifero e una pipa
And a top hat in the back of ride
E un cilindro nel retro del giro
In a chariot, chasin' Harriet through the night
In un carro, inseguendo Harriet nella notte
I barely get sleep, my karma owe me much drama
Dormo a malapena, il mio karma mi deve molto dramma
Men are sheep, I sold three last summer
Gli uomini sono pecore, ne ho vendute tre l'ultima estate
A black back ain't exact until it got stripes
Una schiena nera non è esatta finché non ha strisce
Beat that boy 'til he collapse
Picchia quel ragazzo finché non crolla
Tease that boy, make him fight his brother
Prendi in giro quel ragazzo, fagli combattere con suo fratello
Make him hate his mama, make him blame his father, you
Fagli odiare sua madre, fagli incolpare suo padre, tu
Follow the rules and they always gon' do what they do
Segui le regole e loro faranno sempre quello che fanno
Never revolt, never rebel, Willie Lynch taught us just how to sell
Mai rivoltarsi, mai ribellarsi, Willie Lynch ci ha insegnato come vendere
White lies to these black lives, and if you train 'em, then they act right
Bianche bugie a queste vite nere, e se li addestri, allora si comportano bene
But whatever you do
Ma qualunque cosa tu faccia
Free like my energy (don't ask why)
Libero come la mia energia (non chiedere perché)
Free like my enemies
Libero come i miei nemici
Free like the soul of my homies
Libero come l'anima dei miei amici
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free
Libero come un peccatore, sì, sono libero
Yes, I'm free
Sì, sono libero
I am free like my paradigm
Sono libero come il mio paradigma
Shifting my state of mind
Cambiando il mio stato d'animo
Listen to my creator
Ascolto il mio creatore
Make sure that I stay aligned
Mi assicuro di rimanere allineato
Yes, I'm free
Sì, sono libero

Poi sbirciando dalla finestra, un nigga vede quelle luci rosse e blu, oh merda
Bro, we gotta go, nigga, no shit
Fratello, dobbiamo andare, nigga, non scherzo
Hit the back road, clear the whole fence
Prendi la strada dietro, salta tutta la recinzione
But in the process
Ma nel processo
A nigga dropped the whole four-fifth
Un nigga ha lasciato cadere tutto il quattro-cinque
And they circled the block
E hanno circondato il blocco
