Hands up, officer don't shoot
Then pull your pants up, promise you won't loot
We may never understand each other, it's no use
We ain't ever gonna grasp what each other goes through
Black boy, black boy, we ain't gonna lie to you
Black boy, black boy, we don't like the sight of you
Pull up on the side of you
Window rolled down, 'profile'
Then we wonder why we see this side of you
Probably comin' from the dope house
We could let you slide but your tail light is blew, out
We know you're hidin' that Heidi Klum
On you another drug charge, homie, it's back inside for you
And just in case a chase might ensue, we got that tried and true
Pistol drew right at you, we'd be delighted to unload it
In your back, then walk up and lay that taser on the side of you
Fucked up, but what the fuck am I to do?
I keep tellin' myself, keep doin' like you're doin'
No matter how many lives you ruin
It's for the red, white and blue
Time to go find a new one and split his head right in two
No one's ever indicted you
Why? 'Cause you're a
White boy, white boy, you're a rockstar
My momma talkin' to me, tryna tell me how to live
White boy, white boy, in your cop car
But I don't listen to her, 'cause my head is like a sieve
White boy, white boy, you're untouchable
The world's coming to an end, I don't even care
Nobody can tell me shit 'cause I'm a big rockstar
Black boy, black boy, we don't get your culture and
We don't care what our government's done to fuck you over, man
Don't tell us your attitude's a result of that
Balderdash, where'd you get the chip on your shoulder at?
Why you kicking that soda can?
Pull your pants up, we 'bout to roll up and
Throw your ass in the van cuffed
You don't have to know our plans or what our intentions are
Our cards are close to our chest, you better show your hands
And put our minds more at ease
Or get shot in the thyroid, comply or die, boy
We're fightin' a crime war, here come the swine
Tryna clean up the streets from all these minorities
That's what we call 'em pigsties for
They're like eyesores to police
Talked to like, you're just a piece of trash
Feels like we're stuck in a time warp to me
As I kick these facts and get these mixed reactions
As this beat backspins, it's like we're drifting back in
To the sixties, having black skin is risky
'Cause this keeps happening
Throughout history, African-Americans have been treated like shit
And I admit, there have been times where it's been embarrassin' to be a
White boy, white boy, you're a rockstar
My momma talkin' to me, tryna tell me how to live

The world's coming to an end, I don't even care
Nobody can tell me shit 'cause I'm a big rockstar
Seems like the average lifespan of a white man
Is more than twice than a black life span
I wonder sometimes if it has a price scanner
I feel like checking out on life, can't escape this circumstance
I'd rather hear 'em say "Die N-word" than Die Antwoord
Ninja, now it's better disguised banter
But that's life, strapped 'cause we're strapped financially
And can't find answers
We're applying, but McDonald's
Seems to be the only franchise that'll hire
So how can we have higher standards?
As Dallas overshadows the battle for Black Lives Matter
We fight back with violence but acts like that are
Black eyes on the movement
Which makes black lives madder
At cops and cops madder
That's why it's at a stalemate
And can't arrive at a compromise so it's Black Ops
I wonder if we hire more black cops, the crap stops
The block is our backyards, officers, not the crack spot
Call the attack dogs off of us, man
You always act all pissed off at us at a traffic stop
And bad cops fuck it up for the good cops, and man, stop
Sendin' white cops in the black neighborhoods
Who ain't acclimated to 'em, like that's the way to do it
Who seen some fuckin' videos of rappers waving guns
And know nobody black so they act afraid of us
And that's racism, the fear that a black face gives 'em
A subconscious racist
Wait, why are there black neighborhoods?
'Cause America segregated us, designated us to an area
Separated us, Section-Eight'd us
When we tear it up's the only time attention's paid to us
And education sucks, and every day's another
Freddie Gray for us, a levy breaks or fuzz
Why is it, they treat us like dryer lint?
We just want a safe environment for our kids
But can't escape the sirens
Don't take a scientist to see our violent nature lies in
The poverty that we face so the crime rate's the highest in
The lowest classes, it's like a razor wire fence
And we're trapped in these racial biases
That plague our society which makes our anxiety levels raise
Every time we see a devil's face
Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my
It's more like billy clubs and gats
And we really love it when you think we're guilty 'cause we're black
"But you kill each other, facts
You peel each other's caps, for silly stuff like hats"
Single mother strugglin' through substance abuse
While people with nothin' to lose shoot each other for shoes
Fuck your Republican views
Pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, where the fuck are the boots?
And streets act as a narrator, don't gotta read comics
Or be that into characters, just to see that, just to be black
You better be strapped with a Derringer
Or be "capped in America" like Steve Rogers
'Cause no one oversees these cops and
All we see is 'em beat charges
We done seen 'em beat Rodney King unconscious, and got off
So we don't need all you crooked police officers' peace offerings
Just keep marchin', 'til we reach Congress
But they're gonna say you're tryin' to take an irrational stance
If you try to slander the flag but
Somebody has to be the sacrificial lamb
So they call it a Kaepernick tantrum
If you don't stand for the national anthem
We raise it, you better praise it
Or you'll be made to feel like a traitor, we'll
Treat you like Rodney Dangerfield
Home of the brave is still racist 'ville
So this whole nation feels like a plantation field
In a country that claims that its foundation was based on United States ideals
That had its Natives killed
Got you singin' this star-spangled spiel
To a piece of cloth that represents the "Land of the Free" that made people slaves to build
Hands up, officer don't shoot
Mãos para cima, oficial não atire
Then pull your pants up, promise you won't loot

We ain't ever gonna grasp what each other goes through

We know you're hidin' that Heidi Klum

On you another drug charge, homie, it's back inside for you
Em você outra acusação de drogas, amigo, é de volta para dentro para você

E só por precaução, caso uma perseguição possa ocorrer, temos aquela testada e comprovada
Pistol drew right at you, we'd be delighted to unload it
Pistola apontada para você, ficaríamos encantados em descarregá-la
In your back, then walk up and lay that taser on the side of you

A subconscious racist
Un racista subconsciente
Wait, why are there black neighborhoods?
Espera, ¿por qué hay barrios negros?
'Cause America segregated us, designated us to an area
Porque América nos segregó, nos designó a un área
Separated us, Section-Eight'd us
Nos separó, nos puso en la Sección Ocho

Si vous ne vous levez pas pour l'hymne national
We raise it, you better praise it
On le hisse, vous feriez mieux de le louer
Or you'll be made to feel like a traitor, we'll
Ou on vous fera sentir comme un traître, on vous
Treat you like Rodney Dangerfield
Traitera comme Rodney Dangerfield
Home of the brave is still racist 'ville
La patrie des braves est toujours raciste
So this whole nation feels like a plantation field
Alors cette nation entière se sent comme un champ de plantation
In a country that claims that its foundation was based on United States ideals
Dans un pays qui prétend que sa fondation était basée sur les idéaux des États-Unis
That had its Natives killed
Qui a tué ses natifs
Got you singin' this star-spangled spiel
Vous fait chanter cette rengaine étoilée
To a piece of cloth that represents the "Land of the Free" that made people slaves to build
À un morceau de tissu qui représente la "Terre des Libres" qui a fait des gens des esclaves pour construire
Hands up, officer don't shoot
Hände hoch, Polizist schießt nicht
Then pull your pants up, promise you won't loot
Dann zieh deine Hose hoch, versprich, du wirst nicht plündern
We may never understand each other, it's no use
Wir werden uns vielleicht nie verstehen, es hat keinen Sinn
We ain't ever gonna grasp what each other goes through
Wir werden nie begreifen, was der andere durchmacht
Black boy, black boy, we ain't gonna lie to you
Schwarzer Junge, schwarzer Junge, wir werden dich nicht anlügen
Black boy, black boy, we don't like the sight of you
Schwarzer Junge, schwarzer Junge, wir mögen den Anblick von dir nicht
Pull up on the side of you
Wir halten neben dir an
Window rolled down, 'profile'
Fenster runtergerollt, 'Profil'
Then we wonder why we see this side of you
Dann wundern wir uns, warum wir diese Seite von dir sehen
Probably comin' from the dope house
Wahrscheinlich kommst du aus dem Drogenhaus
We could let you slide but your tail light is blew, out
Wir könnten dich durchlassen, aber dein Rücklicht ist kaputt
We know you're hidin' that Heidi Klum
Wir wissen, dass du dieses Heidi Klum versteckst
On you another drug charge, homie, it's back inside for you
Auf dir eine weitere Drogenanklage, Kumpel, es geht wieder rein für dich
And just in case a chase might ensue, we got that tried and true
Und nur für den Fall, dass eine Verfolgungsjagd stattfinden könnte, haben wir das bewährte
Pistol drew right at you, we'd be delighted to unload it
Pistole auf dich gerichtet, wir würden uns freuen, sie abzufeuern
In your back, then walk up and lay that taser on the side of you
In deinen Rücken, dann aufstehen und den Taser an deine Seite legen
Fucked up, but what the fuck am I to do?
Verdammt, aber was soll ich tun?
I keep tellin' myself, keep doin' like you're doin'
Ich sage mir immer wieder, mach weiter so wie du es tust
No matter how many lives you ruin
Egal wie viele Leben du ruinierst
It's for the red, white and blue
Es ist für das Rot, Weiß und Blau
Time to go find a new one and split his head right in two
Zeit, einen neuen zu finden und seinen Kopf in zwei zu teilen
No one's ever indicted you
Niemand hat dich jemals angeklagt
Why? 'Cause you're a
Warum? Weil du ein
White boy, white boy, you're a rockstar
Weißer Junge, weißer Junge, du bist ein Rockstar
My momma talkin' to me, tryna tell me how to live
Meine Mama spricht mit mir, versucht mir zu sagen, wie ich leben soll
White boy, white boy, in your cop car
Weißer Junge, weißer Junge, in deinem Polizeiauto
But I don't listen to her, 'cause my head is like a sieve
Aber ich höre nicht auf sie, denn mein Kopf ist wie ein Sieb
White boy, white boy, you're untouchable
Weißer Junge, weißer Junge, du bist unantastbar
The world's coming to an end, I don't even care
Die Welt geht unter, es ist mir egal
Nobody can tell me shit 'cause I'm a big rockstar
Niemand kann mir etwas sagen, denn ich bin ein großer Rockstar
Black boy, black boy, we don't get your culture and
Schwarzer Junge, schwarzer Junge, wir verstehen deine Kultur nicht und
We don't care what our government's done to fuck you over, man
Es ist uns egal, was unsere Regierung getan hat, um dich zu verarschen, Mann
Don't tell us your attitude's a result of that
Sag uns nicht, dass deine Einstellung das Ergebnis davon ist
Balderdash, where'd you get the chip on your shoulder at?
Unsinn, wo hast du diesen Chip auf deiner Schulter her?
Why you kicking that soda can?
Warum trittst du diese Getränkedose?
Pull your pants up, we 'bout to roll up and
Zieh deine Hose hoch, wir sind gleich da und
Throw your ass in the van cuffed
Werfen dich verhaftet in den Van
You don't have to know our plans or what our intentions are
Du musst unsere Pläne oder Absichten nicht kennen
Our cards are close to our chest, you better show your hands
Unsere Karten sind nah an unserer Brust, du solltest besser deine Hände zeigen
And put our minds more at ease
Und beruhige uns mehr
Or get shot in the thyroid, comply or die, boy
Oder werde in die Schilddrüse geschossen, füge dich oder stirb, Junge
We're fightin' a crime war, here come the swine
Wir führen einen Krieg gegen das Verbrechen, hier kommen die Schweine
Tryna clean up the streets from all these minorities
Versuchen, die Straßen von all diesen Minderheiten zu säubern
That's what we call 'em pigsties for
Das ist, was wir 'Schweineställe' nennen
They're like eyesores to police
Sie sind wie Schandflecken für die Polizei
Talked to like, you're just a piece of trash
Gesprochen wie, du bist nur ein Stück Müll
Feels like we're stuck in a time warp to me
Es fühlt sich an, als wären wir in einer Zeitschleife gefangen
As I kick these facts and get these mixed reactions
Während ich diese Fakten ausspucke und diese gemischten Reaktionen bekomme
As this beat backspins, it's like we're drifting back in
Während dieser Beat zurückspinnt, fühlt es sich an, als würden wir zurückdriften
To the sixties, having black skin is risky
In die sechziger Jahre, schwarze Haut zu haben ist riskant
'Cause this keeps happening
Denn das passiert immer wieder
Throughout history, African-Americans have been treated like shit
In der Geschichte wurden Afroamerikaner wie Scheiße behandelt
And I admit, there have been times where it's been embarrassin' to be a
Und ich gebe zu, es gab Zeiten, in denen es peinlich war, ein
White boy, white boy, you're a rockstar
Weißer Junge, weißer Junge, du bist ein Rockstar
My momma talkin' to me, tryna tell me how to live
Meine Mama spricht mit mir, versucht mir zu sagen, wie ich leben soll
White boy, white boy, in your cop car

The world's coming to an end, I don't even care
Die Welt geht unter, es ist mir egal
Nobody can tell me shit 'cause I'm a big rockstar
Niemand kann mir etwas sagen, denn ich bin ein großer Rockstar
Seems like the average lifespan of a white man
Es scheint, dass die durchschnittliche Lebenserwartung eines weißen Mannes
Is more than twice than a black life span
Mehr als doppelt so hoch ist wie die eines schwarzen Lebens
I wonder sometimes if it has a price scanner
Ich frage mich manchmal, ob es einen Preisscanner hat
I feel like checking out on life, can't escape this circumstance
Ich habe das Gefühl, aus dem Leben auszuchecken, kann diesen Umständen nicht entkommen
I'd rather hear 'em say "Die N-word" than Die Antwoord
Ich höre lieber „Stirb N-Wort“ als Die Antwoord
Ninja, now it's better disguised banter
Ninja, jetzt ist es besser getarnter Scherz
But that's life, strapped 'cause we're strapped financially
Aber so ist das Leben, festgeschnallt, weil wir finanziell festgeschnallt sind
And can't find answers
Und finden keine Antworten
We're applying, but McDonald's
Wir bewerben uns, aber McDonald's
Seems to be the only franchise that'll hire
Scheint die einzige Franchise zu sein, die einstellt
So how can we have higher standards?
Wie können wir also höhere Standards haben?
As Dallas overshadows the battle for Black Lives Matter
Während Dallas den Kampf für Black Lives Matter überschattet
We fight back with violence but acts like that are
Wir wehren uns mit Gewalt, aber solche Taten sind
Black eyes on the movement
Schwarze Augen auf der Bewegung
Which makes black lives madder
Was macht schwarze Leben wütender
At cops and cops madder
Auf Polizisten und Polizisten wütender
That's why it's at a stalemate
Deshalb ist es in einer Sackgasse
And can't arrive at a compromise so it's Black Ops
Und kann zu einem Kompromiss nicht kommen, also ist es Black Ops
I wonder if we hire more black cops, the crap stops
Ich frage mich, ob wir mehr schwarze Polizisten einstellen, hört der Mist auf
The block is our backyards, officers, not the crack spot
Der Block ist unser Hinterhof, Beamte, nicht der Crack-Spot
Call the attack dogs off of us, man
Ruft die Angriffshunde von uns ab, Mann
You always act all pissed off at us at a traffic stop
Du bist immer total sauer auf uns bei einer Verkehrskontrolle
And bad cops fuck it up for the good cops, and man, stop
Und schlechte Polizisten verderben es für die guten Polizisten, und Mann, halt
Sendin' white cops in the black neighborhoods
Schickt weiße Polizisten in die schwarzen Viertel
Who ain't acclimated to 'em, like that's the way to do it
Die sich nicht an sie gewöhnt haben, als ob das der Weg wäre, es zu tun
Who seen some fuckin' videos of rappers waving guns
Wer hat einige verdammte Videos von Rappern gesehen, die mit Waffen wedeln
And know nobody black so they act afraid of us
Und kennt niemanden, der schwarz ist, also haben sie Angst vor uns
And that's racism, the fear that a black face gives 'em
Und das ist Rassismus, die Angst, die ein schwarzes Gesicht ihnen gibt
A subconscious racist
Ein unterbewusster Rassist
Wait, why are there black neighborhoods?
Warte, warum gibt es schwarze Viertel?
'Cause America segregated us, designated us to an area
Weil Amerika uns segregiert hat, uns einem Gebiet zugewiesen hat
Separated us, Section-Eight'd us
Uns getrennt hat, uns in Abschnitt Acht gesteckt hat
When we tear it up's the only time attention's paid to us
Wenn wir es zerreißen, ist das die einzige Zeit, in der uns Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird
And education sucks, and every day's another
Und die Bildung ist schlecht, und jeden Tag ist ein anderer
Freddie Gray for us, a levy breaks or fuzz
Freddie Gray für uns, ein Damm bricht oder Fuzz
Why is it, they treat us like dryer lint?
Warum behandeln sie uns wie Trocknerflusen?
We just want a safe environment for our kids
Wir wollen nur eine sichere Umgebung für unsere Kinder
But can't escape the sirens
Aber können den Sirenen nicht entkommen
Don't take a scientist to see our violent nature lies in
Es braucht keinen Wissenschaftler, um zu sehen, dass unsere gewalttätige Natur in
The poverty that we face so the crime rate's the highest in
Der Armut liegt, der wir gegenüberstehen, so dass die Kriminalitätsrate am höchsten ist in
The lowest classes, it's like a razor wire fence
Den untersten Klassen, es ist wie ein Stacheldrahtzaun
And we're trapped in these racial biases
Und wir sind gefangen in diesen rassischen Vorurteilen
That plague our society which makes our anxiety levels raise
Die unsere Gesellschaft plagen, was unsere Angstlevel erhöht
Every time we see a devil's face
Jedes Mal, wenn wir ein Teufelsgesicht sehen
Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my
Löwen, Tiger und Bären, oh je
It's more like billy clubs and gats
Es ist eher wie Schlagstöcke und Knarren
And we really love it when you think we're guilty 'cause we're black
Und wir lieben es wirklich, wenn ihr denkt, wir sind schuldig, weil wir schwarz sind
"But you kill each other, facts
„Aber ihr tötet einander, Fakten
You peel each other's caps, for silly stuff like hats"
Ihr zieht euch gegenseitig die Kappen ab, wegen albernen Sachen wie Hüten“
Single mother strugglin' through substance abuse
Alleinerziehende Mutter kämpft mit Drogenmissbrauch
While people with nothin' to lose shoot each other for shoes
Während Leute mit nichts zu verlieren sich gegenseitig wegen Schuhen erschießen
Fuck your Republican views
Scheiß auf deine republikanischen Ansichten
Pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, where the fuck are the boots?
Ziehen wir uns an unseren eigenen Stiefelriemen hoch, wo zum Teufel sind die Stiefel?
And streets act as a narrator, don't gotta read comics
Und die Straßen fungieren als Erzähler, man muss keine Comics lesen
Or be that into characters, just to see that, just to be black
Oder so sehr in Charaktere verliebt sein, nur um zu sehen, dass, nur um schwarz zu sein
You better be strapped with a Derringer
Du solltest besser mit einem Derringer bewaffnet sein
Or be "capped in America" like Steve Rogers
Oder „in Amerika erschossen werden“ wie Steve Rogers
'Cause no one oversees these cops and
Denn niemand überwacht diese Polizisten und
All we see is 'em beat charges
Alles, was wir sehen, ist, dass sie Anklagen schlagen
We done seen 'em beat Rodney King unconscious, and got off
Wir haben gesehen, wie sie Rodney King bewusstlos geschlagen haben, und sind davon gekommen
So we don't need all you crooked police officers' peace offerings
Also brauchen wir nicht all eure korrupten Polizeibeamten' Friedensangebote
Just keep marchin', 'til we reach Congress
Einfach weiter marschieren, bis wir den Kongress erreichen
But they're gonna say you're tryin' to take an irrational stance
Aber sie werden sagen, du versuchst, eine irrationale Haltung einzunehmen
If you try to slander the flag but
Wenn du versuchst, die Flagge zu verleumden, aber
Somebody has to be the sacrificial lamb
Jemand muss das Opferlamm sein
So they call it a Kaepernick tantrum
Also nennen sie es einen Kaepernick-Wutanfall
If you don't stand for the national anthem
Wenn du nicht für die Nationalhymne stehst
We raise it, you better praise it
Wir hissen sie, du solltest sie loben
Or you'll be made to feel like a traitor, we'll
Oder du wirst dich wie ein Verräter fühlen, wir werden
Treat you like Rodney Dangerfield
Dich behandeln wie Rodney Dangerfield
Home of the brave is still racist 'ville
Heimat der Tapferen ist immer noch Rassistenstadt
So this whole nation feels like a plantation field
Also fühlt sich diese ganze Nation an wie ein Plantagenfeld
In a country that claims that its foundation was based on United States ideals
In einem Land, das behauptet, dass seine Grundlage auf den Idealen der Vereinigten Staaten basiert
That had its Natives killed
Das seine Ureinwohner getötet hat
Got you singin' this star-spangled spiel
Lässt dich dieses Sternenbannerlied singen
To a piece of cloth that represents the "Land of the Free" that made people slaves to build
Zu einem Stück Stoff, das das „Land der Freien“ repräsentiert, das Menschen zu Sklaven gemacht hat, um zu bauen.
Hands up, officer don't shoot
Mani in alto, ufficiale non sparare
Then pull your pants up, promise you won't loot

We may never understand each other, it's no use
Potremmo non capirci mai, è inutile
We ain't ever gonna grasp what each other goes through

Probably comin' from the dope house
Probabilmente vieni dalla casa della droga
We could let you slide but your tail light is blew, out
Potremmo lasciarti andare ma la tua luce posteriore è spenta
We know you're hidin' that Heidi Klum

Pistola puntata su di te, saremmo felici di scaricarla

Fucked up, but what the fuck am I to do?
Fottuto, ma che cazzo dovrei fare?
I keep tellin' myself, keep doin' like you're doin'

Part 1
[Giriş]
Eller yukarıda, memur bey ateş etme
Ve pantolonunu yukarı çek, beni yağmalamayacağına söz ver
Birbirimizi sanırım asla anlayamayacağız, bu yararsız
Asla birbirimizin neler yaşadığını kavrayamayacağız
[Verse 1]
Siyah çocuk, siyah çocuk, sana yalan söylemeyeceğiz
Siyah çocuk, siyah çocuk, görünüşünü sevmedik
Kenara çek
Pencereyi indir, profilini inceleyelim
Ve sonra da niye senin sadece bu yanını gördüğümüzü merak ediyoruz
Büyük ihtimalle uyuşturucu evinden geliyorsun
Seni bırakırdık ama bilirsin işte stop lamban patlamış düşecek
Üstünde Heidi Klum (kokain) sakladığını biliyoruz
Ve başka bir uyuşturucu davasına sahipsin, arka tarafta seni bekliyor
Ve ne olur ne olmaz belki kaçarsın diye, onu da denedik ve doğru
Silahı sana doğrulttuk, yatak odanda sana şarjörü boşaltmayı çok isteriz
Yürü, ve şok cihazını sana uygulayalım
Yarrağa yan bastık, şimdi ne bok yicem?
Sürekli kendime ne yapıyorsan onu yapmaya devam et diyorum
Kaç tane hayata son verdiğin önemli değil
Bu kırmızı, beyaz ve mavi için
Şimdi başka birini bulup kafasını ikiye yarma zamanı
Kimse seni suçlamaz bile
Peki neden?
Çünkü sen... (beyazsın)
[Nakarat: Eminem & (Cheech and Chong)]
Beyaz çocuk, beyaz çocuk, sen bir rockstarsın
(Annem bana nasıl hayatta kalınacağını anlatmaya çalışırdı)
Beyaz çocuk, beyaz çocuk, polis arabanda
(Ama annemi dinlemezdim çünkü ben tam bir mankafaydım)
Beyaz çocuk, beyaz çocuk, sen dokunulmazsın
(Dünya sona ermek üzere olsa yine umrumda olmaz)
Kimse bana bir bok diyemez çünkü ben (büyük bir Rockstar'ım)
[Verse 2]
Siyah çocuk, siyah çocuk, senin kültürünü almayacağız ve
Hükümetimizin sizleri nasıl siktiği umurumuzda değil adamım
Hükümet yüzünden böyle davrandığınızı söyleme bana sakın
Boş konuşuyorsun, omzundaki o odun parçasını nereden aldın?
Soda tenekesini ne diye tekmeledin?
Pantolonunu yukarı çek, bin bakalım arabaya, içeride bir güzel şamarlayacağız seni
Planımızı veya niyetimizi bilmiyorsun
Kartlarımız göğsümüze yakın, ellerini kaldırsan iyi olur
İşimizi kolaylaştır
Yoksa boynundan mermi yiyeceksin, itaat et ya da öl çocuk
Biz suçlarla savaşıyoruz
İşte domuz polis geliyor
Sokaklardan bu azınlıkları temizlemeye geliyoruz
Buralara bu yüzden domuz ahırı diyoruz
Çünkü onlar polislerin gözüne batan şeyler
Senle bir bok torbasıymışsın gibi konuşurlar
Zaman tünelinde sıkışmışız gibi geliyor bana
Ben gerçekleri açıklıyorum buna rağmen olumsuz reaksiyonlar da alıyorum
Bu beat geriye doğru giderken biz de geriye gidiyoruz
Sanki 60'lara döndük
Siyah tenli olmak riskli, ve bu hala aynı şekilde
Tarih boyunca, Afrikalı Amerikan'lar her zaman bok gibi muamele gördü
Ve itiraf ediyorum, beyaz olmaktan utandığım zamanlar oldu
[Nakarat: Eminem & (Cheech and Chong)]
Beyaz çocuk, beyaz çocuk, sen bir rockstarsın
(Annem bana nasıl hayatta kalınacağını anlatmaya çalışırdı)
Beyaz çocuk, beyaz çocuk, polis arabanda
(Ama annemi dinlemezdim çünkü ben tam bir mankafaydım)
Beyaz çocuk, beyaz çocuk, sen dokunulmazsın
(Dünya sona ermek üzere olsa yine umrumda olmaz)
Kimse bana bir bok diyemez çünkü ben (büyük bir Rockstar'ım)
Part 2
[Verse 3]
Bir beyazın yaşam süresi bir siyahınkinden iki kat daha fazla gibi
Bazen bir fiyat tarayıcısı olup olmadığını merak ediyorum
Hayata göz atıyor gibi hissediyorum, bu koşullardan kaçamıyorum
İnsanların Die Antwoord yerine "Geber Z(enci)" demelerini tercih ederim
Ninja, şimdi şakayı örtbas etmesi daha kolay oldu
Ama hayat böyle
Yıpratıcı, çünkü finansal olarak yıpranmış haldeyiz
Ve cevap bulamıyoruz
İş başvurusu yapıyoruz, ama McDonald's bizi işe alacak tek şirket
E böyle nasıl daha yüksek yaşam standartlarımız olabilir?
Dallas olayı, Siyahların Yaşamları Değerlidir hareketine gölge düşürüyor
Şiddetle karşılık veriyoruz
Ama bu gibi davranışlar da
Hareketi resmen "Siyahiler Psikopatça Yaşar"a çeviriyor
İşte bu yüzden çıkmaza giriliyor
Bir anlaşmaya varılamıyor, bu bir Black Ops
Acaba daha fazla siyahi polis mi işe alsak, boktan olaylar durur mu?
Tüm mahalle komşu gibi, memur bey, uyuşturucu satılan yer değil
Köpekleri üstümüze salın adamım
Trafik ışıklarında sürekli bize kötü kötü bakıyorsunuz
Kötü polisler yüzünden iyi polisler de zan altında
Adamım zenci mahallesine beyaz polis göndermeyi bırakın artık
Çünkü bize alıştırılmamışlar
Sikik rapçilerin videolarda silahlı pozlar vermesi yüzünden
Bizim de öyle olduğumuzu sanıyorlar
Siyahi tanıdıkları yok, bizden korkuyorlar
Ve bu ırkçılık
O aptal siyahiler
Beyazların bilinçaltına siyah ırkçılığı işliyor
Bir dakika, neden zenci mahalleleri diye bir şey var?
Çünkü Amerika bizi tecrit etti
Belirlenmiş yerlere koydu
Ayırdılar bizi
Fakir mahallelerine koydular
Ve televizyona ancak siyahlar kötü bir şey yaptığında çıkıyoruz
Ve eğitim berbat
Ve bizim için her bir gün başka bir Freddie Grey gibi
Kalenin yıkılması veya beyaz polis görmek gibi
Neden bize kurutucu tiftiği gibi davranıyorlar?
Biz sadece çocuklarımızı güvende tutmak istiyoruz
Ama siren seslerinden kurtulamıyoruz
Şiddetin doğamızda yer aldığı yalanını kanıtlamak için bilim adamı falan tutmayın
Biz fakirlik içindeyiz, e sonuç olarak düşük fakir sınıfın suç oranı daha yüksek, bu sanki tel kesici testere gibi
Ve bu ırkçı önyargılarda kapana kısılmışız
Toplumumuzdaki bu ırkçılık denen veba sinir katsayımızı yükseltiyor
Her seferinde şeytanın suratını görüyoruz
"Aslanlar, kaplanlar ve ayılar, aman Tanrım!" diyorsunuz
Biz böyle değil de daha çok "Coplar ve silahlar. aman Tanrım!" diyoruz
Ve sırf siyahız diye suçluymuşuz gibi bize bakmanıza o kadar bayılıyoruz ki!
"Ama siz birbirinizi öldürüyorsunuz, aptal bir şapka için birbirinizin beynini uçuruyorsunuz. Evet bu gerçek."
Kaybedecek bir şeyi olmayan siyahiler ayakkabı için birbirine ateş ederken
Bekar anne uyuşturucu bağımlılığıyla savaşıyor
Cumhuriyetçi görüşlerinizi sikeyim
Neymiş bot askılıklarımızla kendimizi yukarı çekecekmişiz
Tamam da botlar nerede amınakoyayım?
Ve sokaklar bir hikaye anlatıcı gibi davranıyor
Çizgi roman okumamalıyım
Ya da o karakterin yerine kendimi koymamalıyım
Gördüm ki siyahi olup sadece yaşayabilmek için bile silahla kuşanmam - Ya da "Amerika sınırları içinde" olmam gerek Steve Rogers gibi
Çünkü kimse bu polisleri gözetlemiyor
Ama dövdüklerini görüyoruz
Rodney King bilinçsiz kaldığında gördük bunu
Ve tepe attı, siz yozlaşmış polislerin barış teklifine ihtiyacımız yok
Biz meclis oturumuna varana kadar uygun adım yürüyüşe devam edin siz
Ama eğer bayrağı kötülersek irrasyonel bir duruş sergilediğimizi söyleyecekler
Ama birinin kurban gitmesi gerekiyordu
Böylece milli marşta saygı duruşunda durmadı diye Kaepernick'i gözden çıkardılar
"Biz bayrağımızı yükselteceğiz, övseniz iyi edersiniz, yoksa bir hain gibi hissettiririz, Rodney Dangerfield'a davrandığımız gibi davranırız sana."
Cesaretin kalbi denen Amerika, hala ırkçı bir köy
Tüm bu millet sürülmeyi bekleyen tarla gibi hissediyor
Amerika'nın ideallerine sadık bir şekilde kurulduğu iddia edilen bu ülke
Aslında ilk yerlilerin vahşetle, yağmayla, kölelikle aldığı bir yerdi
Elinde özgür toprağın simgesi olan bir parça kumaşla (bayrakla) milli marşı söylerken yakaladım seni, o kumaş aslında köleliği inşa etti
