Heart plays in ways the mind can't
Heart plays in ways the mind can't figure out
This is how we conceptualize human beings
My auntie is a man now
I think I'm old enough to understand now
Drinking Paul Masson with her hat turned backwards
Motorola pager, Off-White Guess jacket
Blue Air Max's, gold chains and curl kits
'93 Nissan wax job, the earliest
Big social, big personality, vocal
Played the underground verbatim and stayed local
My auntie is a man now
I watch him and his girl hold their hands down
Tip of the avenues street lights made his
Thinkin', "I want me a bad bitch when I get big"
They hug on the corner like California king
Cold hand all up her skirt, cars whistlin' down the road
See, my auntie is a man now, slight bravado
Scratchin' the likes from lotto
Hopin' that she pull up tomorrow
So I can hang out in the front seat
Six by nines keeping the music up under me
My auntie is a man now
Asked my mama why my uncles don't like him that much
And at the parties why they always wanna fight him that much
She said, "Ain't no tellin'
Niggas always been jealous because he had more women
More money and more attention made more envy
Callin' him anything but broke was less offending"
My auntie is a man now
I think I'm old enough to understand now
Drinking Paul Masson with her hat turned backwards
Back when it was comedic relief to say, "Faggot"
Faggot, faggot, faggot, we ain't know no better
Elementary kids with no filter, however
My auntie became a man and I took pride in it
She wasn't gay, she ate pussy, and that was the difference
That's what I told my friends in second grade
She picking me up from school, they stare at her in the face
They couldn't comprehend what I grew accustomed
We pull off bumpin' Quik like it was nothing
My auntie is a man now, what a relationship
I grew up fast, I needed no one to babysit
He gave me some cash then gave me some game
Cherry freshener on the dash, I never complained
She even cut my hair at the pad, was loving my fade
The first person I seen write a rap
That's when my life had changed
House full of demo, smoke stuck on the window
Cameras on the microphone, all women and men though
My auntie was a man now, we cool with it
The history had trickled down and made us ign'ant
My favorite cousin said he's returning the favor
And following my auntie with the same behavior
Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
He's more confident to live his plan now (talking to the world's gonna bring you down)
But the family in disbelief this time (talking to the world's gonna bring you down)
Convincing themselves, "He ain't living discreet, he's fine" (talking to the world's gonna bring you down)
They said they never seen it in him, but I seen it (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
The Barbie dolls played off reflection of Venus (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
He built a wall so tall you couldn't climb over
He didn't laugh as hard when the kids start joking (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
"Faggot, faggot, faggot," we ain't know no better
Middle school kids with no filter, however
I had to be very mindful of my good cousin
I knew exactly who he was, but I still loved him
Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
I mean he's really Mary-Ann, even took things further
Changed his gender before Bruce Jenner was certain
Living his truth even if it meant see a surgeon
We didn't talk for a while, he seemed more distant
Wasn't comfortable around me, everything was offensive
But I recall we both had a sick sense of humor
Made raw, but time changes all
Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
Remember church, Easter Sunday?
I sat in the pew, you had stronger faith
More spiritual when these dudes were living life straight
Which I found ironic 'cause the pastor didn't see him the same
He said my cousin was going through some things
He promised the world we living in was an act on abomination
And Demetrius was to blame
I knew you was conflicted by the feelings of preacherman
Wondering if God still call you a decent man
Still you found the courage to be subservient just to anoint
Until he singled you out to prove his point, saying
"Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
Church, his auntie is a man now," it hurt
You the most 'cause your belief was close to his words
Forcing me to stand now
I said, "Mr. Preacherman, should we love thy neighbor?
The laws of the land or the heart, what's greater?
I recognize the study she was taught since birth
But that don't justify the feelings that my cousin preserved"
The building was thinkin' out loud, bad angel
That's when you looked at me and smiled, said, "Thank you"
The day I chose humanity over religion
The family got closer, it was all forgiven
I said them F-bombs, I ain't know any better
Mistakenly, I ain't think that you'd know any different
See, I was taught words was nothing more than a sound
If ever they was pronounced without any intentions
The very second you challenged the shit I was kickin'
Reminded me about a show I did out the city
That time I brung a fan on stage to rap
But disapproved the word that she couldn't say with me
You said, "Kendrick, ain't no room for contradiction
To truly understand love, switch position
'Faggot, faggot, faggot,' we can say it together
But only if you let a white girl say 'Nigga'"

'93 Nissan wax job, the earliest
Nissan de 1993 enceradinho, o mais antigo

Se dava bem com todos, puta personalidade, dizia o que pensava
Played the underground verbatim and stayed local
Falava a língua da periferia e permaneceu nas suas raízes
My auntie is a man now
Minha tia é agora um homem
I watch him and his girl hold their hands down
Fico vendo ele e a namorada de mãos dadas
Tip of the avenues street lights made his
Um facho das luzes dos postes de rua fizeram o seu
Thinkin', "I want me a bad bitch when I get big"
Pensando consigo mesmo, "vou querer pra mim uma gostosona quando crescer"
They hug on the corner like California king
Eles se abraçam na esquina da rua como se ele fosse o rei da Califórnia
Cold hand all up her skirt, cars whistlin' down the road
Mão fria apalpando ela por dentro da saia, carros passando vazados pela rua
See, my auntie is a man now, slight bravado
Minha tia é um agora homem, tirando onda de leve, saca
Scratchin' the likes from lotto
Raspando os bilhetes de loteria
Hopin' that she pull up tomorrow
Esperando que ela passe por aqui amanhã
So I can hang out in the front seat
Pra poder curtir com ela no banco da frente do carro
Six by nines keeping the music up under me
Somzão foda no carro, música alta saindo dos alto falantes debaixo de mim
My auntie is a man now
Minha tia é agora um homem
Asked my mama why my uncles don't like him that much
Perguntei pra minha mãe por que é que meus tios não gostam muito mais dele
And at the parties why they always wanna fight him that much
E do porquê eles encrencarem com ele desse tanto nas festas
She said, "Ain't no tellin'
Ela respondeu, "não tenho certeza
Niggas always been jealous because he had more women
Os manos sempre tinham inveja dele porque ele pegava mais mulher
More money and more attention made more envy
A grana e toda atenção a mais que ele ganhava só traziam ainda mais inveja
Callin' him anything but broke was less offending"
Chamar ele de qualquer coisa que não fosse 'ele é um duro' era menos ofensivo"
My auntie is a man now
Minha tia é agora um homem
I think I'm old enough to understand now
Acho que hoje sou mais maduro pra entender
Drinking Paul Masson with her hat turned backwards

Back when it was comedic relief to say, "Faggot"
Naquele tempo quando chamar alguém de 'viadinho' não era ofensivo
Faggot, faggot, faggot, we ain't know no better
Viadinho, viadinho, viadinho, a gente não tinha maturidade
Elementary kids with no filter, however

My auntie became a man and I took pride in it
Minha tia se tornou um homem e eu fiquei orgulhoso disso
She wasn't gay, she ate pussy, and that was the difference
Ela não era gay, ela chupava buceta, e essa era a diferença
That's what I told my friends in second grade
Era isso que eu dizia pra os meus amiguinhos de segunda série
She picking me up from school, they stare at her in the face
Eles ficavam encarando ela quando ela vinha me pegar na escola
They couldn't comprehend what I grew accustomed
Eles não conseguiam compreender o que pra mim já era natural
We pull off bumpin' Quik like it was nothing
A gente chegava de carro tirando onda, som do rapper Quik no talo, sem dar a mínima
My auntie is a man now, what a relationship
Minha tia é agora um homem, e que relacionamento é o nosso!
I grew up fast, I needed no one to babysit
Eu cresci muito rápido, não precisei de ninguém pra cuidar de mim
He gave me some cash then gave me some game
Ele me dava um pouco de dinheiro e depois me ensinou um pouco da ginga
Cherry freshener on the dash, I never complained
Com o cheirinho de cereja no painel do carro, nunca reclamei disso
She even cut my hair at the pad, was loving my fade
Ela até mesmo cortava meu cabelo em casa, eu amava aquele corte que ia do grande pra o baixinho

Convincing themselves, "He ain't living discreet, he's fine" (talking to the world's gonna bring you down)
Convencendo-se, "ele não vive discretamente, ele 'tá ok" (ficar ouvindo o mundo só vai te levar pra baixo)
They said they never seen it in him, but I seen it (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ele dizem que nunca notaram isso nele, mas eu sabia desde o início (ooh, ooh, ooh)

I sat in the pew, you had stronger faith

More spiritual when these dudes were living life straight
Mais espiritual que os outros enquanto os mano viviam uma vida vazia
Which I found ironic 'cause the pastor didn't see him the same

I said, "Mr. Preacherman, should we love thy neighbor?

I recognize the study she was taught since birth

But that don't justify the feelings that my cousin preserved"
Mas isso não justifica os sentimentos que o meu primo guardou"
The building was thinkin' out loud, bad angel

You said, "Kendrick, ain't no room for contradiction
Você me disse, "Kendrick, não há lugar para a contradição
To truly understand love, switch position
Pra entender de verdade o amor, 'cê tem que se colocar no lugar do outro"
'Faggot, faggot, faggot,' we can say it together
'Viadinho, viadinho, viadinho,' a gente até pode dizer isso juntos
But only if you let a white girl say 'Nigga'"
Mas só se você ficar ok que uma mina branca use a expressão 'negrinho'

Remember church, Easter Sunday?
Ricordi la chiesa, la domenica di Pasqua?
I sat in the pew, you had stronger faith
Io ero seduto nel banco, tu avevi una fede più forte
More spiritual when these dudes were living life straight
Più spirituale mentre questi tizi vivevano la vita in modo retto
Which I found ironic 'cause the pastor didn't see him the same
Il che era ironico, perché il pastore non lo vedeva allo stesso modo
He said my cousin was going through some things
Disse che mio cugino stava attraversando un periodo difficile
He promised the world we living in was an act on abomination
Ha promesso che il mondo in cui viviamo è un atto di abominio
And Demetrius was to blame
E che la colpa era di Demetrio
I knew you was conflicted by the feelings of preacherman
Sapevo che eri combattuto dai sentimenti del pastore
Wondering if God still call you a decent man
Chiedendomi se Dio ti chiamasse ancora un uomo rispettabile
Still you found the courage to be subservient just to anoint
Eppure hai trovato il coraggio di essere sottomesso solo per l'unzione
Until he singled you out to prove his point, saying
Finché non ti ha scelto per dimostrare il suo punto di vista, dicendo
"Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
"Demetrio è Mary-Ann ora
Church, his auntie is a man now," it hurt
Chiesa, sua zia è un uomo ora" fa male
You the most 'cause your belief was close to his words
Tu sei stato il più ferito perché la tua convinzione era vicina alle sue parole
Forcing me to stand now
Costringendomi a stare in piedi
I said, "Mr. Preacherman, should we love thy neighbor?
Ho detto: "Signor predicatore, dobbiamo amare il prossimo?
The laws of the land or the heart, what's greater?
Le leggi della terra o del cuore, cosa è più grande?
I recognize the study she was taught since birth
Riconosco lo studio che le è stato insegnato fin dalla nascita
But that don't justify the feelings that my cousin preserved"
Ma questo non giustifica i sentimenti che mio cugino ha conservato"
The building was thinkin' out loud, bad angel
L'edificio stava pensando ad alta voce, angelo cattivo
That's when you looked at me and smiled, said, "Thank you"
È stato allora che mi hai guardato e hai sorriso, dicendo: "Grazie"
The day I chose humanity over religion
Il giorno in cui ho preferito l'umanità alla religione
The family got closer, it was all forgiven
La famiglia si è avvicinata, tutto era stato perdonato
I said them F-bombs, I ain't know any better
Ho detto quelle bombe con la F, non ne sapevo nulla di meglio
Mistakenly, I ain't think that you'd know any different
Erroneamente, non pensavo che tu sapessi qualcosa di diverso
See, I was taught words was nothing more than a sound
Vedi, mi è stato insegnato che le parole non sono altro che un suono
If ever they was pronounced without any intentions
Se mai sono state pronunciate senza alcuna intenzione
The very second you challenged the shit I was kickin'
Nel momento stesso in cui hai sfidato la merda che stavo prendendo a calci
Reminded me about a show I did out the city
Mi hai ricordato di uno spettacolo che ho fatto fuori città
That time I brung a fan on stage to rap
Quella volta che ho portato una fan sul palco per fare rap
But disapproved the word that she couldn't say with me
Ma disapprovava la parola che non poteva dire con me
You said, "Kendrick, ain't no room for contradiction
Hai detto: "Kendrick, non c'è spazio per le contraddizioni
To truly understand love, switch position
Per capire veramente l'amore, cambiare posizione
'Faggot, faggot, faggot,' we can say it together
"Frocio, frocio, frocio," possiamo dirlo insieme
But only if you let a white girl say 'Nigga'"
Ma solo se lasci che una ragazza bianca dica 'Nigga'"
Heart plays in ways the mind can't figure out
ハートは心が理解できないような働きをする
Heart plays in ways the mind can't
ハートは心ができないような働きをする
Heart plays in ways the mind can't figure out
ハートは心が理解できないような働きをする
This is how we conceptualize human beings
こうやって俺たちは人類を概念づける

Asked my mama why my uncles don't like him that much

Back when it was comedic relief to say, "Faggot"

Faggot, faggot, faggot, we ain't know no better
「ゲイ、ゲイ、ゲイ」俺たちはよく分かってないけど
Elementary kids with no filter, however
小学校のガキは情けなんてない
My auntie became a man and I took pride in it
俺の叔母は男になって、俺は誇らしかった
She wasn't gay, she ate pussy, and that was the difference

That's what I told my friends in second grade
2年生の時そう友達に言った
She picking me up from school, they stare at her in the face
彼女は学校に俺を迎えに来て、皆がその顔を見つめていた
They couldn't comprehend what I grew accustomed
俺が慣れていたことを彼らは理解出来なかった
We pull off bumpin' Quik like it was nothing

彼はもっと自信を持って計画通りに暮らしている (世界がお前を倒すと言う)
But the family in disbelief this time (talking to the world's gonna bring you down)
でも今回家族は信じていない (世界がお前を倒すと言う)
Convincing themselves, "He ain't living discreet, he's fine" (talking to the world's gonna bring you down)
「彼は目立たない生き方はしてない、大丈夫だ」と彼らを説得する (世界がお前を倒すと言う)
They said they never seen it in him, but I seen it (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Demetriusは、今Mary-Annだ
I mean he's really Mary-Ann, even took things further
つまり、彼は本当にMary-Annになった、もっと先に進んだんだ

Wasn't comfortable around me, everything was offensive

Made raw, but time changes all
辛辣な言葉で、時が全てを変えた
Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
Demetriusは、今Mary-Annだ
Remember church, Easter Sunday?
教会のイースター・サンデーを覚えてるか?
I sat in the pew, you had stronger faith
俺は席に座っていた、お前は強い信仰心を持ってた
More spiritual when these dudes were living life straight
まっとうな人生を送っていた時はもっと精神的なもので
Which I found ironic 'cause the pastor didn't see him the same
牧師は彼を同じように見ていなかったから、それは皮肉なものだな
He said my cousin was going through some things
俺の従弟は何か悩みを抱えていると彼は言った
He promised the world we living in was an act on abomination
俺たちの住む世界は忌まわしき行為だと彼は約束した
And Demetrius was to blame
そしてDemetriusに罪があると
I knew you was conflicted by the feelings of preacherman
説教者の気持ちにお前が葛藤していたのは知っていた
Wondering if God still call you a decent man
神はまだお前をまともな者と呼ぶだろうか
Still you found the courage to be subservient just to anoint
まだお前は聖別するために勇気を出して従った
Until he singled you out to prove his point, saying
彼がお前を名指しして、自身の主張を証明するまで、こう言って
"Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
「Demetriusは、今Mary-Annだ
Church, his auntie is a man now," it hurt
教会よ、彼の叔母は今、男となった」辛かった
You the most 'cause your belief was close to his words
お前の信仰は彼の言葉と近かったから、最も上の存在だった
Forcing me to stand now
そして俺に立ちあがることを強いた
I said, "Mr. Preacherman, should we love thy neighbor?
俺は言った「牧師さん、隣人を愛するべきなんだろ?
The laws of the land or the heart, what's greater?
神の国の法と心、どちらが偉大?
I recognize the study she was taught since birth
彼女が生まれてから受けてきた教育は理解する
But that don't justify the feelings that my cousin preserved"
でもそれが従弟の持つ感情と合わないんだ」
The building was thinkin' out loud, bad angel
建物から声が漏れた 悪い天使のように
That's when you looked at me and smiled, said, "Thank you"
その時君が俺を見て笑い「ありがとう」と言った
The day I chose humanity over religion
その日俺は宗教より人類を選んだ
The family got closer, it was all forgiven
家族は親しくなり、全て赦された
I said them F-bombs, I ain't know any better
俺はFワードを言っていた、他の奴より知っているわけじゃない
Mistakenly, I ain't think that you'd know any different
間違えて、お前がもっと知っているとは思わない
See, I was taught words was nothing more than a sound
ほら、言葉は音に過ぎないと俺は教わった
If ever they was pronounced without any intentions
何の意図もなく発せられるなら
The very second you challenged the shit I was kickin'
すぐにお前は俺の言葉を攻撃した
Reminded me about a show I did out the city
街で開催したショーのことを俺に思い出させる
That time I brung a fan on stage to rap
その時俺はラップさせるためにステージにファンを連れてきた
But disapproved the word that she couldn't say with me
でも俺に彼女が言えなかった言葉を認めなかった
You said, "Kendrick, ain't no room for contradiction
お前は言った「Kendrick 矛盾は無しよ
To truly understand love, switch position
愛を本当に理解するために、立場を変えましょう
'Faggot, faggot, faggot,' we can say it together
「ゲイ、ゲイ、ゲイ」私たちは一緒に言うの
But only if you let a white girl say 'Nigga'"
でもあなたが白人の女に「ニガ」と言わせるならね」
[Перевод песни Kendrick Lamar — «Auntie Diaries»]
[Intro: Кендрик Ламар и Экхарт Толле]
Сердце играет в игры, непостижимые разумом
Сердце играет в игры, непостижимые—
Сердце играет в игры, непостижимые разумом
Именно так мы определяем сущность человека
[Куплет 1: Кендрик Ламар]
Моя тётушка возмужала
Я думаю, я достаточно взрослый, чтобы это понять
Распивала Paul Masson с кепкой козырьком назад
Пейджер Motorola, куртка Off-White Guess
Синие Air Max, золотые цепи и наборы для завивки
Отполированный Nissan 93 года, тот что из ранних
Крайне общительная, бойкая личность
Крутилась в андерграунде и оставалась верна корням
Моя тётушка возмужала
Я смотрю, как он со своей девушкой держатся за руки
Конец аллеи под светом фонарей сделал своё
Размышляю: «Я хочу себе отвязную суку, когда стану большим»
Они обнимаются на углу как California King
Холодная рука у нее под юбкой, рядом проносятся машины
Видишь ли, моя теёя возмужала, похвастаюсь
Надеялся на удачу как в лото
Быть может, она подкатит завтра
И я смог затусить у неё на переднем сиденье
Колонки 6x9 содрогаются музыкой подо мной
Моя тётя возмужала
Спросил маму, почему мои дяди так сильно его не любят
И почему на вечеринках они лезут с ним в драку
Она ответила: «Разве не говорит ли это о том, что
Ниггеры всегда ему завидовали, ведь у него всегда было больше женщин
Больше денег и больше внимания, что порождало большую зависть
Называйте его как угодно, только не бедным»
[Куплет 2: Кендрик Ламар]
Моя тётушка возмужала
Я думаю, я достаточно взрослый, чтобы это понять
Распивала Paul Masson с ее кепкой козырьком назад
Назад в то время, когда было вершиной юмора сказать:
«Педик»
«Педик, педик, педик», мы не знали ничего лучше
Дети из началки без фильтра, но не суть
Моя тётушка стала мужчиной, и я гордился этим
Она не была геем, она ела киску, и в этом была вся разница
Это то, что я сказал своим друзьям во втором классе
Она забирала меня со школы, а они все нагло пялились на неё
Они не могли постичь то, к чему я привык
Мы быстро уезжаем, как будто ничего не было
Моя тётя возмужала, вот это взаимоотношения
Я быстро рос, мне не нужны были сиделки
Он давал мне немного бабла, а после учил меня жить
Вишневый ароматизатор на приборной панели, я не жаловался
Она даже стригла мне волосы дома, я любил свой фейд
Первый человек пишущий рэп, которого я увидел
С этого момента моя жизнь изменилась
Дом полный демок, дым осел на окне
Фокус на микрофоне, все мужчины и женщины, кстати
Моя тётя теперь мужчина, мы в поряде с этим
Это стало частью истории, и мы просто забили
Мой любимый кузен сказал, что он возвращает должок
И пошёл по стопам тёти, ведя себя также
[Куплет 3: Кендрик Ламар]
Димитрий теперь Мэри-Энн
Он теперь ещё больше уверен в своём плане на жизнь (Общение с мирскими сломят тебя)
Но в этот раз семья в недоумении (Общение с мирскими сломят тебя)
Убеждая себя: «Он не сдерживает себя, это нормально» (Общение с мирскими сломят тебя)
Они говорили, что не видели в нём этого, но я видел
Игры в Барби, отражение Венеры
Он возвёл стену настолько высокую, что ты бы не смог перелезть её
Он не смеялся так сильно, когда дети шутили
«Педик, педик, педик», мы не знали ничего лучше
Старшеклассники без фильтра, но не суть
Я должен был быть очень внимателен к своему хорошему кузену
Я точно знал кем он был, но я все еще его любил
Димитрий теперь Мэри-Энн
Я имею в виду он правда Мэри-Энн, он пошёл дальше
Сменил гендер раньше, чем Брюс Дженнер принял решение
Жить своей жизнью даже если бы это означало операцию
Мы не говорили какое-то время, он отстранился
Было некомфортно в моей компании, всё было оскорбительным
Но я замечу, что чувство юмора было конченое у обоих
Грубое, но время всё меняет
[Куплет 4: Кендрик Ламар]
Димитрий теперь Мэри-Энн
Помнишь церковь, Воскресную Пасху?
Я уселся на скамью, у тебя была вера покрепче
Более духовно, пока эти чуваки жили жизнь ровно
Что я находил ироничным, потому что пастор уже не смотрел на него так же
Он сказал, что кузен на беспутье
Он завещал, что мир, в котором мы живём, является актом мерзости
И винить надо Димитрия
Я знал, что ты был в замешательстве от суждений священника
Вопрошая, может ли Бог всё ещё называть тебя порядочным человеком
И всё же ты нашёл в себе мужество подчиниться, чтобы причаститься
Пока он не указал на тебя, чтобы обосновать своё мнение, сказав
«Димитрий теперь Мэри-Энн
О церковь, его тётя теперь мужчина»
Это ранит тебя сильнее всего, ведь твоя вера была так близка к его словам
Это вынудило меня наконец встать
Я сказал: «Мистер Священник, разве не следует нам любить ближнего своего?
Законы края или сердца, что важнее?
Я узнаю те уроки, которые ей давали с рождения
Но это не объясняет тех чувств, которые двигали моей кузиной»
Здание размышляло вслух, плохой ангел
В этот момент ты посмотрел на меня и улыбнулся, сказав: «Спасибо»
День, когда я выбрал человечность, заместо религии
Семья стала ближе, все было прощено
Я говорил им П-слово, я не знал ничего лучше
Ошибочно полагая, что ты не познал бы ничего лучше
Видишь ли, меня учили, что слова это не больше чем просто звук
Если я когда-то произносил их без каких-либо намерений
В ту же секунду, ты пресекал то дерьмо, которое я нёс
Напомнило мне то шоу, что я устроил за городом
В тот раз, когда я вытащил зачитать фанатку на сцену
Но не одобрил то слово, которое она не должна была говорить вместе со мной
Ты сказал: «Кендрик, здесь нет места для противоречий
Чтобы по-настоящему понять любовь, поменяйся местами»
«Педик, педик, педик», -- мы можем говорить это вместе
Но только если ты даёшь право белой девчонке говорить слово «нигга»
[परिचय]
दिल इस तरह से खेलता है कि दिमाग समझ नहीं पाता
दिल इस तरह से खेलता है कि दिमाग समझ नहीं पाता
दिल इस तरह से खेलता है कि दिमाग समझ नहीं पाता
दिल इस तरह से खेलता है कि दिमाग समझ नहीं पाता
इस तरह हम मनुष्य की अवधारणा करते हैं
[छंद 1]
मेरी चाची अब एक आदमी है
मुझे लगता है कि मैं अब समझने के लिए काफी बूढ़ा हो गया हूं
पॉल मेसन को अपनी टोपी के साथ पीने से पीछे की ओर मुड़ गया
मोटोरोला पेजर, ऑफ-व्हाइट गेस जैकेट
ब्लू एयर मैक्स, सोने की चेन और कर्ल किट
'93 निसान वैक्स जॉब, जल्द से जल्द
बड़ा सामाजिक, बड़ा व्यक्तित्व, मुखर
भूमिगत शब्दशः खेला और स्थानीय बने रहे
मेरी चाची अब एक आदमी है
मैं उसे और उसकी लड़की को अपना हाथ नीचे करते हुए देखता हूं
स्ट्रीट लाइट के नीचे रास्तों की युक्ति ने अपना बना लिया
सोच रहा था, "मैं बड़ा होने पर मुझे एक बुरी कुतिया चाहता हूँ"
वे कैलिफोर्निया के राजा की तरह चलते हैं
उसकी स्कर्ट पर ठंडे हाथ, सड़क पर सीटी बजाती कारें
देखिए, मेरी आंटी अब एक आदमी हैं, ज़रा-सा ब्रवाडो
लोट्टो से पसंद को स्क्रैच करना
उम्मीद है कि वह कल खींचेगी
ताकि मैं आगे की सीट पर बैठ सकूं
सिक्स बाय नाइन संगीत को मेरे नीचे रखते हुए
मेरी चाची अब एक आदमी है
मेरे मामा से पूछा कि मेरे चाचा उसे इतना पसंद क्यों नहीं करते
और पार्टियों में क्यों वे हमेशा उससे इतना लड़ना चाहते हैं
उसने कहा "कोई बता नहीं रहा है
निगस हमेशा ईर्ष्या करता था क्योंकि उसके पास अधिक महिलाएं थीं
अधिक पैसा और अधिक ध्यान ने और अधिक ईर्ष्या की
उसे कुछ भी कहना लेकिन टूटना कम अपमानजनक था"
[श्लोक 2]
मेरी चाची अब एक आदमी है
मुझे लगता है कि मैं अब समझने के लिए काफी बूढ़ा हो गया हूं
पॉल मेसन को अपनी टोपी के साथ पीने से पीछे की ओर मुड़ गया
वापस जब "फगोट" कहना हास्यप्रद राहत थी
फगोट, फगोट फगोट, हम नहीं जानते कि कोई बेहतर नहीं है
हालांकि बिना फिल्टर वाले प्राथमिक बच्चे
मेरी चाची एक आदमी बन गईं और मुझे इस पर गर्व हुआ
वह समलैंगिक नहीं थी, उसने चूत खा ली, और यही अंतर था
यही मैंने अपने दोस्तों को दूसरी कक्षा में कहा था
वह मुझे स्कूल से उठाती है, वे उसे चेहरे पर देखते हैं
वे समझ नहीं पाए कि मैं क्या अभ्यस्त हो गया
हम की तरह यह कुछ भी नहीं था की तरह 'क्विक बम्पिन' खींच बंद
मेरी चाची अब एक आदमी है, क्या रिश्ता है
मैं तेजी से बड़ा हुआ, मुझे बेबीसिट करने के लिए किसी की जरूरत नहीं थी
उसने मुझे कुछ नकद दिए और फिर मुझे कुछ गिरोह दिया
डैश पर चेरी फ्रेशनर, मैंने कभी शिकायत नहीं की
उसने पैड पर मेरे बाल भी काटे, मेरे फीके से प्यार कर रही थी
पहला व्यक्ति जिसे मैंने रैप लिखते देखा था
तभी मेरी जिंदगी बदल गई थी
डेमो से भरा घर, खिड़की पर फंसा धुंआ
माइक्रोफ़ोन पर कैमरे, हालांकि सभी महिलाएं और पुरुष
मेरी चाची अब एक आदमी थी, हम इसके साथ मस्त थे
इतिहास ने छल किया था और हमें अज्ञानी बना दिया था
मेरे पसंदीदा चचेरे भाई ने कहा कि वह एहसान वापस कर रहा है
और उसी व्यवहार के साथ मेरी आंटी का पीछा करना
[श्लोक 3]
देमेत्रियुस अब मैरी-एन है
वह अब अपनी योजना को जीने के लिए अधिक आश्वस्त है
लेकिन परिवार इस बार अविश्वास में
खुद को समझाना "वह बुद्धिमान नहीं है, वह ठीक है"
उन्होंने कहा कि उन्होंने उसमें कभी नहीं देखा, लेकिन मैंने इसे देखा
बार्बी डॉल ने शुक्र के प्रतिबिंब को बजाया
उसने इतनी ऊंची दीवार बनाई कि आप उस पर चढ़ नहीं सकते
जब बच्चे मज़ाक करने लगे तो वह उतना ज़ोर से नहीं हँसे
"फगोट, फगोट, फगोट" हम बेहतर नहीं जानते हैं
हालांकि, बिना फिल्टर वाले मिडिल स्कूल के बच्चे
मुझे अपने अच्छे चचेरे भाई का बहुत ध्यान रखना था
मुझे ठीक-ठीक पता था कि वह कौन था लेकिन मैं फिर भी उससे प्यार करता था
[श्लोक 4]
देमेत्रियुस अब मैरी-एन है
मेरा मतलब है कि वह वास्तव में मैरी-एन है, यहां तक कि चीजों को और आगे ले गया
ब्रूस जेनर के निश्चित होने से पहले अपना लिंग बदल लिया
अपने सच को जी रहे हैं भले ही इसका मतलब एक सर्जन से मिलें
हमने थोड़ी देर बात नहीं की, वह और अधिक दूर लग रहा था
मेरे आस-पास सहज नहीं था, सब कुछ आपत्तिजनक था
लेकिन मुझे याद है कि हम दोनों का सेंस ऑफ ह्यूमर खराब था
कच्चा बना दिया, पर वक्त सब बदल देता है
[श्लोक 5]
देमेत्रियुस अब मैरी-एन है
चर्च, ईस्टर संडे याद है?
मैं प्याऊ में बैठ गया, आपका विश्वास मजबूत था
अधिक आध्यात्मिक जब ये दोस्त सीधे जीवन जी रहे थे
जो मुझे विडंबनापूर्ण लगा क्योंकि पादरी ने उसे वही नहीं देखा
उसने कहा कि मेरे चचेरे भाई कुछ चीजों से गुजर रहे थे
उन्होंने वादा किया कि जिस दुनिया में हम रह रहे हैं वह घृणित कार्य है
और दिमेत्रियुस को दोष देना था
मुझे पता था कि आप एक उपदेशक की भावनाओं से विवादित थे
आश्चर्य है कि क्या भगवान अभी भी आपको एक सभ्य व्यक्ति कहते हैं
फिर भी आपने केवल अभिषेक के अधीन रहने का साहस पाया
जब तक उसने आपको अपनी बात साबित करने के लिए सिंगल नहीं किया, यह कहते हुए
[श्लोक 6]
देमेत्रियुस अब मैरी-एन है
चर्च, उसकी चाची अब एक आदमी है, यह चोट लगी है
उन्होंने सबसे 'क्योंकि उनका विश्वास उनके शब्दों के करीब था'
मुझे अब खड़े होने के लिए मजबूर करना
मैंने कहा "श्रीमान उपदेशक, क्या हमें आपके पड़ोसी से प्रेम करना चाहिए?
देश के कानून या दिल, इससे बड़ा क्या है?
मैं उस अध्ययन को पहचानता हूं जो उसे जन्म से पढ़ाया जाता था
लेकिन यह उन भावनाओं को सही नहीं ठहराता जिन्हें मेरे चचेरे भाई ने संरक्षित किया था"
इमारत ज़ोर से सोच रही थी, बुरा फरिश्ता
तभी तुमने मेरी तरफ देखा और मुस्कुरा कर कहा "थैंक्यू"
जिस दिन मैंने धर्म के ऊपर मानवता को चुना
परिवार करीब आ गया, सब माफ हो गया
मैंने उन्हें एफ-बम कहा, मैं इससे बेहतर नहीं जानता
गलती से मैंने नहीं सोचा था कि आप कुछ अलग जानते होंगे
देखिए, मुझे सिखाया गया था कि शब्द एक ध्वनि से ज्यादा कुछ नहीं है
अगर सब कुछ बिना किसी इरादे के सुनाया गया था
जैसे ही आप उस बकवास को चुनौती देते हैं जिसे मैं लात मार रहा था
मुझे एक शो के बारे में याद दिलाया जो मैंने किया था
[İntro: Kendrick Lamar & Eckhart Tolle]
Kalp zihnin anlayamayacağı bir şekilde çalışır
Kalp zihnin anlayamayacağı bir şekilde-
Kalp zihnin anlayamayacağı bir şekilde çalışır
İnsanları bu şekilde kavrayabiliriz
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Teyzem artık bir erkek
Sanırım artık anlayacak yaşa geldim
Şapkası ters Paul Masson içerdi
Motorola çağrı cihazı ve kirli beyaz Guess ceketi
Mavi Air Max'leri, altın zincirleri ve kıvırcık seti
93'lük Nissan'a pasta cila, ilklerdendi
Sosyal, koca kalpli, dışa dönük
Yeraltında takılırdı, yerel kültürü benimsedi
Teyzem artık bir erkek
Onu ve yengenin el ele tutuşlarını izliyorum
Caddenin sonunda, ışıkların altında
"Büyüdüğümde ben de böyle bir karı istiyorum" dedirtiyor
Köşede California King gibi sarılıyorlar
Soğuk eli eteğinin altında, arabalar yolda ıslık çalıyor
Gördün mü, teyzem artık bir erkek oldu, ufak bir gösteriş
Beğenileri lotodan çekiyor
Yarın gelmesini umuyorum
Böylece ön koltukta takılabilirim
Altıya-dokuz etrafımda müzik çalıyor
Teyzem artık br erkek
Anneme amcalarımın ondan neden hoşlanmadıklarını sordum
Ve partilerde onunla neden bu kadar kavga etmek istediklerini
Dedi ki, "kimse bilemez
Zenciler hep daha fazla kadınla takıldığı için kıskanırdı
Daha fazla para, daha fazla ilgi hep haset yaratırdı
Ona beş parasız dışında bir şey demek daha az kaba olurdu
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Teyzem artık bir erkek
Sanırım artık anlayacak yaşa geldim
Şapkası ters Paul Masson içerdi
Henüz "ibne" demek mizahsal bir şeydi
"İbne, ibne, ibne," yanlışımızı farkedememiştik
Filtresiz ortaokul çocukları, ancak
Teyzem bir erkek olmuştu ve onunla gurur duyuyordum
Gay değildki ki, amcık yalardı farkı da buydu
İkinci sınıftayken arkadaşlarıma böyle derdim
Beni okuldan alırdı, yüzüne dik dik bakarlardı
Benim alıştığımı onlar hayal bile edemezlerdi
Quik dinleyerek bir şey yokmuş gibi uzaklaşırdık
Teyzem artık bir erkek, nasıl ilişki ama
Çok hızlı büyüdüm, bakıcıya ihtiyacım yoktu
Birazcık para verdi birazcık da oyun verdi
Arabanın önünde vişneli araba kokusu, hiç şikayet etmedim
Evde saçımı seçerdi, fade süperdi
Rap yazdığını gördüğüm ilk kişi
O gün hayatım değişti
Evde dolu demolar, camlar buğulu
Mikrofonda kameralar, bütün kadınlar ve erkekler bilir
Teyzem artık bir erkek, baya rahatız yani
Tarih damlaya damlaya bizi de cahil bıraktı
Favori kuzenim kalan borcu ödeyeceğini söyledi
Böylece teyzemin izinden gitti
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
Demetrius artık Marry-Ann
Planını yaşamak için daha cesaretli ( Dünyaya konuşmak seni yoracak)
Ancak aile bu sefer hüsranda (Dünyaya konuşmak seni yoracak )
Kendilerini ikna etmeye çalışıyorlar "Saklamıyor ki, gayet iyi" (Dünyaya konuşmak seni yoracak )
Onda bunu asla görmediklerini söylüyolar, ama ben gördüm
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oynadığı Barbie bebekler venüsün ışığını yansıtıyordu
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tırmanamayacağın kadar yüksek bir duvar inşaa etti
Çocuklar dalga geçmeye başladığında o kadar gülmüyordu
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
"İbne, ibne, ibne," yanlışımızı farkedememiştik
Filtresiz ortaokul çocukları, ancak
Güzel kuzenime çok dikkat etmem gerekiyordu
Kim olduğunu çok iyi biliyordum, ama onu yine de seviyordum
Demetrius artık Marry-Ann
Yani gerçekten Marry-Ann, işleri iyice götürdü
Bruce Jenner bile emin değilken cinsiyetini değiştirdi
Cerrah görmesi gerekse bile doğrusuyla yaşayacaktı
Bir süre konuşmadık, mesafeli gibiydi
Etrafımda rahat değildi, her şey rahatsız ediciydi
Ama hatırlıyorum ikimizin de pis bi' espiri anlayışı vardı
Acımasız bir mizah, ama zaman hepsini değiştirir
[Verse 4: Kendrick Lamar]
Demetrius artık Marry-Ann
Paskalya pazarında kiliseye gidişimiz hatırlıyor musun?
Ben oturuyordum, senin inancın daha kuvvetliydi
Bu adamlar normal hayatlarını yaşarken sen daha runaiydin
Bunu biraz ironik bulmuştum çünkü papaz sana aynı gözle bakmıyordu
Kuzenimin bazı sorunlar yaşadığını söylüyordu
Yaşadığımız dünyanın tiksinç bir oyun olduğuna söz verdi
Ve tek suçlusu Demetrius'tu
Vaazcının sözcüklerinin aklını karıştırdığını biliyordum
Tanrının sende hala edepli bir adam görüp görmediğini düşünüyordun
Yine de inanmak için itaatkar olacak cesareti buldun
Taa ki düşünceleri uğruna seni hedef gösterene kadar, dedi ki
"Demetrius artık Mary-Ann
Cemaat dinleyin, teyzesi artık bir erkek" can yakıcıydı
En çok senin için çünkü düşüncelerin sözlerine yakındı
Artık ayağa kalkma zamanıydı
"Vaazci abi, komşularımızı sevmeli miyiz?
Dünyanın ve kalplerin yasalarından hangileri hak sahibidir?
Doğduğundan beri öğrendiklerinin farkındayım
Ama bu kuzenimin içinde tuttuğu duyguları meşrulaştırmıyor"
Herkes sesli düşünüyordu, kötü melek
Tam o sırada bana baktın ve gülümsedin, "teşekkür ederim"
İnsanlığı dine seçtiğim gün
Aile yakınlaştı, her şey affedilmişti
Ib*e dediğime pişmanım, yanlışımın farkında değildim
Hatalı şekilde senin farklı düşündüğünü düşünemedim
Çocukken sözcüklerin sesten başka bir şey olmadığını düşünürdüm
Şayet arkalarında bir niyet yoksa
Düşüncelerime karşı çıktığın anın saniyesi
Bana şehirde yaptığım bir şovu hatırlattı
Bir hayranı sahneye çıkardığım
Ama söyleyemeyeceği o sözcüğü hor gördüğüm an
Dedin ki "Kendrick çelişkiye yer yok
Eğer sevgiyi gerçekten anlamak istiyorsan pozisyon değiş
'ibne, ibne, ibne,' istiyorsan beraber söyleyebiliriz
Ama sadece beyaz bir kızın "Nigga" demesine izin verirsen
