Protests and growin' national outcry continues over the death of George Floyd
(Section 8 just straight cooked this motherfucker up)
Last night, people protestin' in Minneapolis escalated
As demonstrators were lashed by tear gas and rubber bullets
The main message here, the main message here, the main message here
Is that they want to see those officers involved
They want to see those officers arrested
Officers arrested
(I can't breathe, I can't breathe)
Trade my 4x4 for a G63, ain't no more free Lil Steve
I gave 'em chance and chance and chance again, I even done told them please
I find it crazy the police'll shoot you and know that you dead, but still tell you to freeze
Fucked up, I seen what I seen
I guess that mean hold him down if he say he can't breathe
It's too many mothers that's grievin'
They killin' us for no reason
Been goin' on for too long to get even
Throw us in cages like dogs and hyenas
I went to court and they sent me to prison
My mama was crushed when they said I can't leave
First I was drunk, then I sobered up quick
When I heard all that time that they gave to Taleeb
He got a life sentence plus
We just some products of our environment
How the fuck they gon' blame us?
You can't fight fire with fire
I know, but at least we can turn up the flames some
Every colored person ain't dumb and all whites not racist
I be judgin' by the mind and heart, I ain't really into faces
Fucked up, the way that we livin' is not gettin' better, you gotta know how to survive
Crazy, I had to tell all of my loved ones to carry a gun when they goin' outside
Stare in the mirror whenever you drive
Overprotective, go crazy for mine
You gotta pay attention to the signs
Seem like the blind followin' the blind
Thinkin' 'bout everythin' that's goin' on
I boost security up at my home
I'm with my kind if they right or they wrong
I call him now, he'll pick up the phone
And it's five in the mornin', he wakin' up on it
Tell 'em wherever I'm at, then they comin'
I see blue lights, I get scared and start runnin'
That shit be crazy, they 'posed to protect us
Throw us in handcuffs and arrest us
While they go home at night, that shit messed up
Knowin' we needed help, they neglect us
One of them who gon' make them respect us
'Cause I can see in your eye that you fed up
Fuck around, got my shot, I won't let up
They know that we a problem together
They know that we can storm any weather
It's bigger than black and white

We done had a hell of a year
I'ma make it count while I'm here
God is the only man I fear
Fuck it, I'm goin' on the front line
He gon' bust your ass if you come past that gun line
You know when the storm go away, then the sun shine
You gotta put your head in the game when it's crunch time
I want all my sons to grow up to be monsters
I want all my daughters to show out in public
Seems like we losin' our country
But we gotta stand up for somethin', so this what it comes to
Every video I see on my conscience
I got power, now I gotta say somethin'
Corrupted police been the problem where I'm from
But I'd be lyin' if I said it was all of them
I ain't do this for the trend, I don't follow them
Altercations with the law, had a lot of them
People speakin' for the people, I'm proud of them
Stick together, we can get it up out of them
I can't lie like I don't rap about killin' and dope, but I'm tellin' my youngins to vote
I did what I did 'cause I didn't have no choice or no hope, I was forced to just jump in and go
This bullshit is all that we know, but it's time for a change
Got time to be serious, no time for no games
We ain't takin' no more, let us go from them chains
God bless they souls, every one of them names
It's bigger than black and white
It's a problem with the whole way of life
It can't change overnight (nah)
But we gotta start somewhere
Might as well gon' 'head start here
We done had a hell of a year
I'ma make it count while I'm here
God is the only man I fear
They trainin' officers to kill us, then shootin' protesters with these rubber bullets
They regular people, I know that they feel it
These scars too deep to heal us
What happened to COVID? Nobody remember
It ain't makin' sense, I'm just here to vent
It happen to one of your people, it's different
We get it, the system is wicked, just learn how to pick it
Knowledge is power, I swear I'm a witness, I know that I'm gifted
I won't go too deep 'cause I'm scared they'll get me
Ain't scared to admit it, some shit I can't mention
It's people who can, well, here's the chance
I won't take the stand, but I'll take a stand for what I believe
Must not be breathin' the air that I breathe
You know that the way that I bleed, you can bleed
I never been a fan of police
But my neighborhood know I try to keep peace
So it's only right that I get in the streets
March for a reason, not just on GP
Our people died for us to be free
Fuck do you mean? This was a dream
Now we got the power that we need to have
They don't want us with it and that's why they mad, yeah

Troquei minha 4x4 por um G63, não há mais Lil Steve livre
I gave 'em chance and chance and chance again, I even done told them please
Dei a eles chance e chance e chance de novo, cheguei até a pedir "por favor"
I find it crazy the police'll shoot you and know that you dead, but still tell you to freeze
Acho loucura a polícia atirar em você, saber que você morreu e ainda pedir pra você congelar
Fucked up, I seen what I seen
Foda-se, vi o que tinha que ver

Acho que isso significa segura-lo se ele disser que não consegue respirar
It's too many mothers that's grievin'
São muitas mães que estão de luto
They killin' us for no reason
Eles estão nos matando sem motivo

Somos apenas produtos de nosso ambiente
How the fuck they gon' blame us?
Como eles vão nos culpar?

Foda-se, o jeito que estamos vivendo não está melhorando, você precisa saber como sobreviver
Crazy, I had to tell all of my loved ones to carry a gun when they goin' outside
Loucura, tive que falar pra todos aqueles que amo levar uma arma quando forem sair
Stare in the mirror whenever you drive
Olhe no espelho pra onde dirigir

You gotta pay attention to the signs
Você tem que prestar atenção nos sinais

That shit be crazy, they 'posed to protect us
Essa merda é uma loucura, eles estão lá pra proteger a gente, supostamente
Throw us in handcuffs and arrest us
Coloque as algemas na gente e nos prenda
While they go home at night, that shit messed up
Enquanto eles vão pra casa à noite, aquela merda 'tá uma bagunça
Knowin' we needed help, they neglect us
Sabendo que a gente precisava de ajuda, eles nos negligenciaram
One of them who gon' make them respect us
Um deles que vai fazer os caras respeitarem a gente
'Cause I can see in your eye that you fed up
Porque posso ver nos seus olhos que está de saco cheio

Ele vai chutar sua bunda se você passar aquela linha
You know when the storm go away, then the sun shine

[Letra de "Lil Baby - The Bigger Picture (Traducción al Español)"]
[Intro]
Portestas y una oleada creciente de repudio nacional siguen por la muerte de George Floyd (Section 8 just straight cooked this motherfucker up)
Anoche, la gente protestando en Minneapolis se intensificó
Cuando manifestantes fueron golpeados con gas lacrimógeno y balas de goma
El mensaje principal aquí, el mensaje principal aquí, el mensaje principal aquí
Es que quieren ver a los policías involucrados
Quieren ver a los policías arrestados
Policías arrestados
(No puedo respirar, no puedo respirar)
[Verso 1]
Cambiar mi 4x4 por un G63, no hay más libra Lil Steve
Les di oportunidad tras oportunidad tras oprtunidad, les dije hasta por favor
Me parece una locura que la policía te disparará y sabrá que estás muerto, pero sigue exigiendo que te quedes inmóvil
Jodido, he visto lo que he visto
Supongo que significa sujetarlo si dice que no puede respirar
Hay demasiadas madres que hacen el luto
Están matándonos por ningún motivo
Ha estado pasando por demasiado tiempo para desquitarse
Tirarnos en jualas como perros y hienas
Fui a la corte y me mandaron a la cárcel
Mi mamá estaba destrozada cuando dijeron que no podía salir
Primero que estaba emborracho, luego que quité rápido
Cuando oí de todo ese tiempo que le dieron a Taleeb
Recibió la cadena perpetua y más
Solo somos unos productos de nuestro entorno
¿Cómo coño van a echarnos la culpa?
No puedes combatir el fuego con fuego
Sé, pero por lo menos podemos encender las llamas un poco más
Cada persona de color no es estúpido y todos los blancos no son racistas
Juzgo por la mente y el corazón, no me interesan las caras
Jodido, la forma en que vivimos no va mejorando, hay que saber cómo sobrevivir
Una locura, tuve que decirle a todos mis seres queridos que llevaran un arma cuando salgan
Mirar fijamente en el espejo cuando conduces
Sobreprotector, vuelvo loco por los míos
Tienes que hacerle caso a los señales
Parece que los ciegos siguen los ciegos
Pensando en todo que está pensando
Incremento la seguridad en mi casa
Estoy con los míos si tienen razón o se equivocan
Lo llamo ahora, va a coger el celular
Son las cinco de la mañana, se despierta pensando en ello
Diles que dondequiera que esté, luego van a venir
Veo luces azules, me asusto y empiezo a correr
Esa mierda es una locura, se supone que nos protegen
Nos ponen las esposas y nos arrestan
Mientras van para sus casas por la noche, esa mierda está mal
Sabiendo que necesitamos ayuda, nos descuidan
Pensando en quién va a hacer que nos respeten
Veo en tus ojos que estás harto
Perder el maldito tiempo, tengo mi oportunidad, no me voy a dejar
Saben que juntos somos un problema
Saben que podemos poner la tormenta en cualquier clima
[Coro]
Se trata de más que blanco y negro
Es un problema con la forma de vida
No puede cambiar de la noche a la mañana
Pero debemos empezar por algún lado
¿Por qué no empezamos aquí?
Hemos tendio un año de la hostia
Voy a hacer que cuente mientras esté aquí
Dios es el único hombre a que le temo
[Verso 2]
Para el carajo, voy por el frente
Te va a aplastar si pasas por la línea de pistola
Sabes que cuando la tormenta se vaya, luego luce el sol
Tú tienes que meterte en el partido cuando es la hora de verdad
Quiero que todos mis hijos crezcan para ser monstruos
Quiero que todas mis hijas se defendian en público
Parece que estamos perdiendo nuestro país
Pero tenemos que mantenernos firme en algo, entonces esto es a lo que se reduce
Veo cada vídeo sobre mi conciencia
Tengo poder, ahroa tengo que decir algo
La policía corrompida ha sido el problema de donde soy
Pero estaría mintiendo si dijera que era todos
No lo hice porque está de moda, no los sigo
Altercados con la ley, he tenido mucho de ellos
La gente está hablando por la gente, estoy orgulloso de ellos
Manténganse unidos, podmeos sacarlo de ellos
No puedo mentir como si no rapeara de matar y drogas, pero le digo a los jovenes que voten
Hice lo que hice porque no tenía una opicíon ni esperanzas, me vi obligado a intervenir y ir
Esta mierda es todo lo que sabmeos, pero es hora de cambiar
Hay tiempo para ser serio, no hay tiempo para juegos
No vamos a aceptar el abuso, dejennos de las cadenas
Que Dios bendiga sus almas, cada uno de sus nombres
[Coro]
Se trata de más que blanco y negro
Es un problema con la forma de vida
No puede cambiar de la noche a la mañana
Pero debemos empezar por algún lado
¿Por qué no empezamos aquí?
Hemos tendio un año de la hostia
Voy a hacer que cuente mientras esté aquí
Dios es el único hombre a que le temo
[Verso 3]
Entretienen a las policías para matarnos, después disparando a los manifestantes con esas balas de goma
Es gente normal, sé que lo siente
Esas cicatrices son demasiado profunda para curarnos
¿Qué pasó con COVID?, nadie recuerda
No tiene sentido, solo estoy aquí para desahogarme
Pasa a los tuyos, es diferente
Lo entendemos, el sistema es malvado, aprende como aprovecharlo
Saber es poder, juro que soy un testigo, sé que soy dotado
No me voy a meter tan profundo porque tengo miedo de que me cacen
No tengo miedo de asumirlo, hay cosas que no puedo mencionar
Es la gente que pueda, pues, aquí es la oportunidad
No me voy a declarar, pero me voy a poner firme en mis creencias
No respiras el mismo aire que yo respiro
Sabes la forma en que sangro, puedes sangrar
Nunca he sido un fanático de la policía
Pero mi barrio sabe que trato de mantener la paz
Así que es apropriado que me meto en las calles
Marcha por algún motivo, no solo en GP
Nuestra gente murieron para que podamos estar libre
¿Qué coño quieres decir? Esto era un sueño
Ahora tenemos el poder que necesitamos tener
No quieren que lo tengamos y por eso están enojados, sí
[Coro]
Se trata de más que blanco y negro
Es un problema con la forma de vida
No puede cambiar de la noche a la mañana
Pero debemos empezar por algún lado
¿Por qué no empezamos aquí?
Hemos tendio un año de la hostia
Voy a hacer que cuente mientras esté aquí
Dios es el único hombre a que le temo
Se trata de más que blanco y negro
Es un problema con la forma de vida
No puede cambiar de la noche a la mañana
Pero debemos empezar por algún lado
¿Por qué no empezamos aquí?
Hemos tendio un año de la hostia
Voy a hacer que cuente mientras esté aquí
Dios es el único hombre a que le temo
Protests and growin' national outcry continues over the death of George Floyd
Las protestas y el clamor nacional creciente continúa por la muerte de George Floyd
(Section 8 just straight cooked this motherfucker up)
(Section 8 acaba de cocinar esta hijueputa)
Last night, people protestin' in Minneapolis escalated
Anoche, las protestas en Minneapolis aumentaron
As demonstrators were lashed by tear gas and rubber bullets
Mientras los manifestantes fueron azotados por gas lacrimógenos y balas de goma
The main message here, the main message here, the main message here
El mensaje principal aquí, el mensaje principal aquí, el mensaje principal aquí
Is that they want to see those officers involved
Es que quieren ver a esos oficiales involucrados
They want to see those officers arrested
Quieren ver a esos oficiales arrestados
Officers arrested
Oficiales arrestados
(I can't breathe, I can't breathe)
(No puedo respirar, no puedo respirar)
Trade my 4x4 for a G63, ain't no more free Lil Steve
Cambio mi 4x4 por un G63, ya nada de libera Lil Steve
I gave 'em chance and chance and chance again, I even done told them please
Les di chance por chance por chance otra vez, incluso les dije por favor
I find it crazy the police'll shoot you and know that you dead, but still tell you to freeze
Me parece una locura que la policía te dispara y saben que estás muerto, pero aún te dicen quieto
Fucked up, I seen what I seen
Jodido, he visto lo que he visto
I guess that mean hold him down if he say he can't breathe
Supongo que eso significa sujétalo si dice que no puede respirar
It's too many mothers that's grievin'
Hay demasiadas madres de luto
They killin' us for no reason
Nos están matando sin razón
Been goin' on for too long to get even
Ha estado pasando por demasiado tiempo para vengarnos
Throw us in cages like dogs and hyenas
Nos ponen en jaulas como perros e hienas
I went to court and they sent me to prison
Fui a la corte y me mandaron a prisión
My mama was crushed when they said I can't leave
Mi mamá fue destruida cuando dijeron que no me podía ir
First I was drunk, then I sobered up quick
Primero estaba borracho, luego rápido recobré la sobriedad
When I heard all that time that they gave to Taleeb
Cuando escuché la pena de cárcel que le dieron a Taleeb
He got a life sentence plus
Le dieron una cadena perpetua
We just some products of our environment
Solo somos productos de nuestro entorno
How the fuck they gon' blame us?
¿Cómo carajo nos van a culpar?
You can't fight fire with fire
No se puede combatir el fuego con fuego
I know, but at least we can turn up the flames some
Yo sé, por lo menos podemos encender algo las llamas
Every colored person ain't dumb and all whites not racist
Toda persona de color no es tonta y todos los blancos no son racistas
I be judgin' by the mind and heart, I ain't really into faces
Juzgo por la mente y el corazón, no me laten los rostros
Fucked up, the way that we livin' is not gettin' better, you gotta know how to survive
Jodido, la forma en que vivimos no está mejorando, tienes que saber cómo sobrevivir
Crazy, I had to tell all of my loved ones to carry a gun when they goin' outside
Locura, tuve que decirles a todos mis seres queridos que lleven una pistola cuando salgan
Stare in the mirror whenever you drive
Mira el retrovisor fijamente cuando sea que manejes
Overprotective, go crazy for mine
Sobreprotector, me vuelvo loco por los míos
You gotta pay attention to the signs
Tienes que prestar atención a las señales
Seem like the blind followin' the blind
Parece que los ciegos siguen a los ciegos
Thinkin' 'bout everythin' that's goin' on
Pensando en todo lo que está pasando
I boost security up at my home
Aumento la seguridad en mi casa
I'm with my kind if they right or they wrong
Estoy con mi gente si están bien o mal
I call him now, he'll pick up the phone
Le llamo ahora, él contestará el teléfono
And it's five in the mornin', he wakin' up on it
Y son las cinco de la mañana, así despertara
Tell 'em wherever I'm at, then they comin'
Les digo donde quiera que esté, luego ellos vienen
I see blue lights, I get scared and start runnin'
Veo luces azules, me da miedo y empiezo a correr
That shit be crazy, they 'posed to protect us
Esa mierda es loca, nos deben proteger
Throw us in handcuffs and arrest us
Nos ponen en esposas y nos arrestan
While they go home at night, that shit messed up
Mientras se van a casa por la noche, esa mierda está mal
Knowin' we needed help, they neglect us
Sabiendo que necesitábamos ayuda, nos descuidan
One of them who gon' make them respect us
Uno de esos quien los hará respetarnos
'Cause I can see in your eye that you fed up
Porque puedo ver en tus ojos que estás harto
Fuck around, got my shot, I won't let up
Chingar, tengo mi oportunidad, no voy a ceder
They know that we a problem together
Saben que juntos somos un problema
They know that we can storm any weather
Saben que podemos asaltar cualquier clima
It's bigger than black and white
Es más grande que blanco y negro
It's a problem with the whole way of life
Es un problema con todo el estilo de vida
It can't change overnight (nah)
No puede cambiar de la noche a la mañana (nah)
But we gotta start somewhere
Pero tenemos que empezar con algo
Might as well gon' 'head start here
Por qué no empezar aquí
We done had a hell of a year
Hemos tenido un año infernal
I'ma make it count while I'm here
Haré que cuente mientras estoy aquí

I won't go too deep 'cause I'm scared they'll get me
Ich werde nicht zu tief reingehen, denn ich hab' Angst, dass sie mich holen
Ain't scared to admit it, some shit I can't mention
Schäme mich nicht, es zuzugeben, Kram, den ich nicht erwähnen kann
It's people who can, well, here's the chance
Es sind Leute, die das können, also, hier ist die Chance
I won't take the stand, but I'll take a stand for what I believe
Ich werde keine Stellung beziehen, aber ich werde mich für das einsetzen, an das ich glaube

Müssen wohl andere Luft atmen als ich
You know that the way that I bleed, you can bleed
Weißt du, so wie ich blute, kannst du auch bluten
I never been a fan of police
Ich war nie ein Fan der Polizei

Our people died for us to be free

Jetzt haben wir die Kraft, die wir brauchen
They don't want us with it and that's why they mad, yeah
Sie wollen das nicht und darum sind sie wütend, yeah
It's bigger than black and white

(Section 8 ha preparato questo figlio di puttana)
Last night, people protestin' in Minneapolis escalated
Ieri sera si sono intensificate le proteste a Minneapolis
As demonstrators were lashed by tear gas and rubber bullets
Mentre i dimostranti sono stati colpiti con lacrimogeni e pallottole di gomma

Trade my 4x4 for a G63, ain't no more free Lil Steve
Ho scambiato la mia 4x4, non ci sono più storie tipo Free Lil Steve
I gave 'em chance and chance and chance again, I even done told them please
Ho dato loro una chance, dopo chance, dopo chance, ho anche chiesto "per favore"
I find it crazy the police'll shoot you and know that you dead, but still tell you to freeze
È pazzesco che la polizia ti spara, sa che sei morto, ma ti dice comunque di non muoverti
Fucked up, I seen what I seen
È un casino, ho visto ciò che ho visto
I guess that mean hold him down if he say he can't breathe
Credo che significa che bisogna tenerlo a terra se dice che non riesce a respirare
It's too many mothers that's grievin'
Ci sono troppe madri in lutto
They killin' us for no reason
Ci uccidono senza ragione
Been goin' on for too long to get even
Sta andando avanti da troppo tempo, non si possano regolare i conti
Throw us in cages like dogs and hyenas
Ci gettano nelle gabbie come cani e iene
I went to court and they sent me to prison
Sono andato in tribunale e mi hanno mandato in prigione
My mama was crushed when they said I can't leave
Mia madre era distrutta quando le hanno detto che non potevo andarmene
First I was drunk, then I sobered up quick
Prima ero ubriaco, poi mi è passata la sbronza velocemente
When I heard all that time that they gave to Taleeb
Quando ho sentito parlare della sentenza che hanno dato a Taleeb
He got a life sentence plus
Ha avuto una sentenza a vita e oltre
We just some products of our environment
Siamo solo dei prodotti del nostro ambiente
How the fuck they gon' blame us?
Come cazzo fanno ad incolparci?
You can't fight fire with fire
Non puoi combattere il fuoco con il fuoco
I know, but at least we can turn up the flames some
Lo so, ma almeno possiamo alzare un po' le fiamme
Every colored person ain't dumb and all whites not racist
Non tutte le persone colorate sono sciocche, e non tutti i bianchi sono razzisti

È un casino, il nostro modo di vivere non è migliorato, devi saper sopravvivere
Crazy, I had to tell all of my loved ones to carry a gun when they goin' outside

Iperprotettivo, impazzisco per il mio
You gotta pay attention to the signs
Bisogna fare attenzione ai segnali

Thinkin' 'bout everythin' that's goin' on
Pensando a tutto ciò che sta succedendo
I boost security up at my home
Ho aumentato il numero dei dispositivi di sicurezza a casa mia
I'm with my kind if they right or they wrong
Sto con i miei sia, che abbiano ragione, sia che abbiano torto
I call him now, he'll pick up the phone
Lo chiamo ora, risponderà al telefono
And it's five in the mornin', he wakin' up on it
E sono le cinque di mattina, l'ho svegliato

Vedo le luci blu, mi spavento e comincio a correre
That shit be crazy, they 'posed to protect us
Quella roba è pazzesca, dovrebbero proteggerci
Throw us in handcuffs and arrest us
Ci mettono le manette e ci arrestano
While they go home at night, that shit messed up
E intanto vanno a casa la sera, è sbagliato
Knowin' we needed help, they neglect us
Sanno che abbiamo bisogno di aiuto e ci ignorano
One of them who gon' make them respect us
Uno di loro potrà convincerli a rispettarci

Dio è l'unico uomo che temo
Fuck it, I'm goin' on the front line
Fanculo, vado in prima linea
He gon' bust your ass if you come past that gun line
Lui ti farà saltare se vai oltre la linea delle pistole
You know when the storm go away, then the sun shine
Sai che dopo il temporale splende il sole
You gotta put your head in the game when it's crunch time
Devi concentrarti quando arriva il momento decisivo
I want all my sons to grow up to be monsters
Voglio che tutti i miei figli diventino dei mostri
I want all my daughters to show out in public

Ogni video che vedo nella mia coscienza
I got power, now I gotta say somethin'
Ho potere, ora devo parlare
Corrupted police been the problem where I'm from
Da dove vengo io la polizia corretta è un problema
But I'd be lyin' if I said it was all of them
Ma mentirei se dicessi che tutti loro lo sono
I ain't do this for the trend, I don't follow them
Non lo faccio per le mode, non le seguo
Altercations with the law, had a lot of them
Dispute con la legge, ne ho avute tante
People speakin' for the people, I'm proud of them
La gente parla per la gente, sono fiero di loro
Stick together, we can get it up out of them
Se ci mettiamo insieme possiamo toglierglielo
I can't lie like I don't rap about killin' and dope, but I'm tellin' my youngins to vote
Non posso mentire, come se non rappassi di omicidi e droga, ma dico ai giovani di votare
I did what I did 'cause I didn't have no choice or no hope, I was forced to just jump in and go
Ho fatto ciò che ho fatto perché non avevo scelta e speranze, costretto a saltarci dentro e andare
This bullshit is all that we know, but it's time for a change
Questa merda è tutto ciò che conosciamo, ma è tempo di cambiare
Got time to be serious, no time for no games
Ho tempo per essere serio, non ho tempo per i giochi

Queste cicatrici sono troppo profonde per rimarginarsi
What happened to COVID? Nobody remember
Cosa è successo al COVID? Nessuno si ricorda
It ain't makin' sense, I'm just here to vent
Non ha senso, sono qui per sfogarmi
It happen to one of your people, it's different
Se succede alla tua gente è diverso
We get it, the system is wicked, just learn how to pick it
Lo sappiamo, il sistema è cattivo, dobbiamo imparare a scegliere
Knowledge is power, I swear I'm a witness, I know that I'm gifted
La conoscenza è potenza, giuro, ne sono testimone, so che sono dotato
I won't go too deep 'cause I'm scared they'll get me
Non andrò troppo in profondità perché ho paura che mi prenderanno
Ain't scared to admit it, some shit I can't mention
Non ho paura di ammetterlo, ho della roba di cui non posso parlare
It's people who can, well, here's the chance
È gente che può, beh, ecco la vostra possibilità
I won't take the stand, but I'll take a stand for what I believe
Non starò davanti al giudice, ma difenderò ciò in cui credo
Must not be breathin' the air that I breathe
Chiaramente non respiri l'aria che io respiro
You know that the way that I bleed, you can bleed
Sai che io sanguino proprio come tu potresti sanguinare
I never been a fan of police

[Intro]
George Floyd'un ölümü üzerine başlatılan protestolar ve büyüyen ulusal salgın devam ediyor
Dün gece, Minneapolis'te protesto eden
Göstericiler göz yaşartıcı gaz ve lastik mermilerle dövüldükçe
Buradaki ana mesaj, buradaki ana mesaj, buradaki ana mesaj
İlgili memurları görmek istiyorlar mı
Bu memurların tutuklandığını görmek istiyorlar
Memurlar tutuklandı(Nefes alamıyorum, nefes alamıyorum)
[Verse 1]
4x4'ümü bir G63 ile takas et, artık "Lil Steve'e özgürlük" dememize gerek kalmadı
Onlara tekrar, tekrar ve tekrar şans verdim, hatta onlara lütfen bile dedim
Polis seni vuracağında öleceğini biliyorum, bunu çılgınca buluyorum, ama yine de sana donmanı söyleyeceğim
Mahvettiler, göreceğimi gördüm
Nefes alamayacağını söylemesine rağmen bacağını onun üzerinde basılı tuttun
Kederli çok fazla anne var
Bizi sebepsiz yere öldürüyorlar
Eşit olmak için çok uzun süredir savaşıyoruz
Bizi köpekler ve sırtlanlar gibi kafeslere atıyorlar
Mahkemeye gittim ve beni hapse yolladılar
Anneme ordan ayrılamayacağımı söylediklerinde yıkıldı
Önceden sarhoştum, sonra çabucak ayıldım
Taleeb'e verdikleri bütün bu zamanı duyduğumda ağzım açık kaldı
Bir ömür boyu hapis cezası aldı
Biz sadece çevremizin ürünleriyiz
Bizi nasıl suçlayacaklar amına koyayım?
Ateşe karşı ateşle savaşamazsın
Biliyorum ama en azından bazı alevleri söndürebiliriz
Her renkli insan aptal değil ve tüm beyazlar ırkçı değil
Zihin ve yüreğe bakarak yargılıyorum, gerçekten yüzlere bakmıyorum
Mahvettiler, yaşama şeklimiz iyileşmiyor, nasıl hayatta kalacağını bilmelisin
Biliyorum çılgınca, ama tüm sevdiklerime dışarı çıktıklarında silah taşımalarını söylemeliydim
Ne zaman sürersen sür yine de aynaya bak
Aşırı koruyucu ol, benim için çıldır
İşaretlere dikkat etmelisin
Körlüğü takip eden herkes kör gibi görünüyor
Olan her şeyi düşünerek
Evimdeki güvenliği artırıyorum
Kendi nezaketimleyim, eğer onlar doğru ya da yanlışsa
Onu şimdi aradım, telefonu açacak
Sabahın beşi, uyanıyor
Onlara nerede olduğumu söyledim, şimdi geliyorlar
Mavi ışıklar görüyorum, korkuyorum ve koşmaya başlıyorum
Bu lanet olası deliler, bizi korumalılar
Bizi kelepçeyle atın ve tutuklayın
Geceleri eve giderken, bu bok berbat hissettiriyor
Yardıma ihtiyacımız olduğunu bilerek bizi ihmal ediyorlar
Kimin bize saygı göstereceğini merak ediyorum
Gözündeki bıkkınlığı görebiliyorum
Siktir et, vuruşumu yapacağım, izin vermeyeceğim
Hep birlikte bir sorun olduğumuzu biliyorlar
Herhangi bir havada fırtına kopartabileceğimizi biliyorlar
[Chorus]
Sorun siyah ve beyazdan daha büyük
Tüm yaşam tarzıyla ilgili bir sorun
Bir gecede değişemez
Ama bir yerden başlamalıyız
Şimdi buradan başlayabilirsin
Yaptığımız şey yılı cehenneme çevirdi
Ben buradayken hesabı yaparım
Tanrı korktuğum tek adam
[Verse 2]
Siktir et, ön cepheye gidiyorum
Eğer o silah hattını geçersen kıçını yakacak
Fırtınanın ne zaman uzaklaştığını biliyorsun, sonra güneş parlıyor
Patırtı zamanı geldiğinde oyuna katılmalısın
Bütün oğullarımın canavar olması için büyümesini istiyorum
Tüm kızlarımın halka açık olarak gösterilmesini istiyorum
Ülkemizi kaybediyoruz gibi görünüyor
Ama bir şey için ayağa kalkmalıyız, işte bu yüzden
Gördüğüm her videoda vicdanım sızlıyor
Gücüm var, şimdi bir şey söylemeliyim
Aşağılık bir polis için nereli olduğum sorun oldu
Ama hepsinin böyle olduğunu söylersem yalan söylemiş olurdum
Bunu trend için yapmıyorum, onları takip etmiyorum
Yasa ile ilgili tartışmaların birçoğu zaten vardı
İnsanlar için konuşan insanlar, onlarla gurur duyuyorum
Birlikte yaparsak, onlardan kurtulabiliriz
Öldürme ve uyuşturucu konusunda rap yapmıyorum gibi bir yalan söyleyemem ama gençlere oy vermelerini söylüyorum
Yapacağımı yaptım çünkü başka seçeneğim ya da umudum yoktu, sadece içeri girip çıkmak zorunda kaldım
Bildiğimiz her şey birer saçmalık, ama zaman değişim zamanı
Ciddi olmak için zamanın var, oyun için zaman yok
Zincirlerinden artık kurtuluyoruz, gidelim burdan
Tanrı her bir ismin ruhlarını korusun
[Chorus]
Sorun siyah ve beyazdan daha büyük
Tüm yaşam tarzıyla ilgili bir sorun
Bir gecede değişemez
Ama bir yerden başlamalıyız
Şimdi buradan başlayabilirsin
Yaptığımız şey yılı cehenneme çevirdi
Ben buradayken hesabı yaparım
Tanrı korktuğum tek adam
[Verse 3]
Bizi öldürmek için memurları eğitiyorlar, sonra bu kauçuk mermilerle protestocuları vuruyorlar
Siz, düzenli insanlar, bunu hissettiğinizi biliyorum
Bu yaralar iyileştirilemeyecek kadar derin
COVID'e ne oldu? Kimse hatırlamıyor
Mantıklı değil, sadece hava almak için buradayım
İnsanlarınızdan birine oldu, bu farklı
Anlıyoruz, sistem kötü, sadece nasıl seçeceğinizi öğrenin
Bilgi güçtür, yemin ederim ben şahidim, yetenekli olduğumu biliyorum
Çok derine inmeyeceğim çünkü beni yakalayacaklarından korkuyorum
İtiraf etmekten korkmuyorum, bazılarından bahsedemiyorum
Yapabilecek insanlar için, işte şans
Ben tavır almayacağım, ama inandığım şey için tavır alacağım
Soluduğum havayı solumamalı
Biliyorsun ki benim kanama şeklim senin de kanama şeklin
Asla polis hayranı olmadım
Ama mahallem barışı korumaya çalıştığımı biliyor
Bu yüzden sadece sokaklara girmem doğru
Bir sebepten dolayı Mart'ta sadece kişisel özgürlük için ölmediler
Halkımız özgür olmak için öldü
Ne demek istiyorsun amına koyayım? Bu bir rüyaydı
Şimdi sahip olmamız gereken güce sahibiz
Bizi bu güçle istemiyorlar ve bu yüzden çıldırıyorlar, evet
[Chorus]
Sorun siyah ve beyazdan daha büyük
Tüm yaşam tarzıyla ilgili bir sorun
Bir gecede değişemez
Ama bir yerden başlamalıyız
Şimdi buradan başlayabilirsin
Yaptığımız şey yılı cehenneme çevirdi
Ben buradayken hesabı yaparım
Tanrı korktuğum tek adam
Sorun siyah ve beyazdan daha büyük
Tüm yaşam tarzıyla ilgili bir sorun
Bir gecede değişemez
Ama bir yerden başlamalıyız
Şimdi buradan başlayabilirsin
Yaptığımız şey yılı cehenneme çevirdi
Ben buradayken hesabı yaparım
Tanrı korktuğum tek adam
