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

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
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
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

My momma talkin' to me, tryna tell me how to live
Meine Mama spricht mit mir, versucht mir zu sagen, wie ich leben soll

Weißer Junge, weißer Junge, du bist unantastbar
The world's coming to an end, I don't even care

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?

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

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

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, jetzt ist es besser getarnter Scherz

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

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

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

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

Don't take a scientist to see our violent nature lies in
Es braucht keinen Wissenschaftler, um zu sehen, dass unsere gewalttätige Natur 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

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

Just keep marchin', 'til we reach Congress
Einfach weiter marschieren, bis wir den Kongress erreichen

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

We raise it, you better praise it
Wir hissen sie, du solltest sie loben

E a educação é uma merda, e todo dia é outro
Freddie Gray for us, a levy breaks or fuzz
Freddie Gray para nós, uma represa se rompe ou fuzz
Why is it, they treat us like dryer lint?
Por que eles nos tratam como fiapos de secadora?
We just want a safe environment for our kids
Só queremos um ambiente seguro para nossos filhos
But can't escape the sirens
Mas não conseguimos escapar das sirenes
Don't take a scientist to see our violent nature lies in
Não precisa ser um cientista para ver que nossa natureza violenta reside
The poverty that we face so the crime rate's the highest in
Na pobreza que enfrentamos, então a taxa de criminalidade é a mais alta
The lowest classes, it's like a razor wire fence
Nas classes mais baixas, é como uma cerca de arame farpado
And we're trapped in these racial biases
E estamos presos nestes preconceitos raciais
That plague our society which makes our anxiety levels raise
Que assolam nossa sociedade, o que faz nossos níveis de ansiedade aumentarem
Every time we see a devil's face
Toda vez que vemos um rosto de demônio
Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my
Leões, tigres e ursos, oh meu
It's more like billy clubs and gats
É mais como cassetetes e gats
And we really love it when you think we're guilty 'cause we're black
E nós realmente amamos quando você acha que somos culpados porque somos negros
"But you kill each other, facts
"Mas vocês se matam, fatos
You peel each other's caps, for silly stuff like hats"
Você descasca as tampas uns dos outros, por coisas bobas como chapéus"
Single mother strugglin' through substance abuse
Mãe solteira lutando contra o abuso de substâncias
While people with nothin' to lose shoot each other for shoes
Enquanto pessoas sem nada a perder atiram umas nas outras por sapatos
Fuck your Republican views
Foda-se suas visões republicanas
Pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, where the fuck are the boots?
Levantemo-nos pelas nossas próprias botas, onde diabos estão as botas?
And streets act as a narrator, don't gotta read comics
E as ruas agem como um narrador, não precisa ler quadrinhos
Or be that into characters, just to see that, just to be black
Ou estar tão ligado em personagens, só para ver isso, só para ser negro
You better be strapped with a Derringer
É melhor estar armado com um Derringer
Or be "capped in America" like Steve Rogers
Ou ser "tampado na América" como Steve Rogers
'Cause no one oversees these cops and
Porque ninguém supervisiona esses policiais e
All we see is 'em beat charges
Tudo o que vemos é eles batendo em acusações
We done seen 'em beat Rodney King unconscious, and got off
Nós os vimos bater em Rodney King até ele ficar inconsciente, e se safaram
So we don't need all you crooked police officers' peace offerings
Então não precisamos de todas as ofertas de paz dos seus policiais corruptos
Just keep marchin', 'til we reach Congress
Apenas continue marchando, até chegarmos ao Congresso
But they're gonna say you're tryin' to take an irrational stance
Mas eles vão dizer que você está tentando tomar uma posição irracional
If you try to slander the flag but
Se você tentar difamar a bandeira, mas
Somebody has to be the sacrificial lamb
Alguém tem que ser o cordeiro sacrificial
So they call it a Kaepernick tantrum
Então eles chamam isso de birra de Kaepernick
If you don't stand for the national anthem
Se você não se levantar para o hino nacional
We raise it, you better praise it
Nós o levantamos, é melhor você elogiá-lo
Or you'll be made to feel like a traitor, we'll
Ou você será feito para se sentir como um traidor, nós
Treat you like Rodney Dangerfield
Tratamos você como Rodney Dangerfield
Home of the brave is still racist 'ville
A casa dos bravos ainda é racista
So this whole nation feels like a plantation field
Então esta nação inteira se sente como um campo de plantação
In a country that claims that its foundation was based on United States ideals
Num país que afirma que sua fundação foi baseada nos ideais dos Estados Unidos
That had its Natives killed
Que matou seus nativos
Got you singin' this star-spangled spiel
Fez você cantar este discurso estrelado
To a piece of cloth that represents the "Land of the Free" that made people slaves to build
Para um pedaço de pano que representa a "Terra dos Livres" que fez as pessoas escravas para construir

Luego sube tus pantalones, prometo que no saquearás
We may never understand each other, it's no use
Quizás nunca nos entendamos, no sirve
We ain't ever gonna grasp what each other goes through
Nunca vamos a comprender por lo que cada uno pasa
Black boy, black boy, we ain't gonna lie to you
Chico negro, chico negro, no vamos a mentirte
Black boy, black boy, we don't like the sight of you
Chico negro, chico negro, no nos gusta verte
Pull up on the side of you
Nos acercamos a tu lado
Window rolled down, 'profile'
Ventana bajada, 'perfil'
Then we wonder why we see this side of you
Luego nos preguntamos por qué vemos este lado de ti
Probably comin' from the dope house
Probablemente viniendo de la casa de drogas
We could let you slide but your tail light is blew, out
Podríamos dejarte pasar pero tu luz trasera está apagada
We know you're hidin' that Heidi Klum
Sabemos que estás escondiendo a esa Heidi Klum
On you another drug charge, homie, it's back inside for you
Otro cargo de drogas para ti, amigo, es volver a la cárcel para ti
And just in case a chase might ensue, we got that tried and true
Y por si acaso se produce una persecución, tenemos eso probado y verdadero
Pistol drew right at you, we'd be delighted to unload it
Pistola apuntada a ti, nos encantaría descargarla
In your back, then walk up and lay that taser on the side of you
En tu espalda, luego acercarnos y poner esa pistola eléctrica a tu lado
Fucked up, but what the fuck am I to do?
Jodido, pero ¿qué diablos voy a hacer?
I keep tellin' myself, keep doin' like you're doin'
Sigo diciéndome a mí mismo, sigue haciendo lo que estás haciendo
No matter how many lives you ruin
No importa cuántas vidas arruines
It's for the red, white and blue
Es por el rojo, blanco y azul
Time to go find a new one and split his head right in two
Hora de encontrar uno nuevo y partirle la cabeza en dos
No one's ever indicted you
Nadie te ha acusado nunca
Why? 'Cause you're a
¿Por qué? Porque eres un
White boy, white boy, you're a rockstar
Chico blanco, chico blanco, eres una estrella de rock
My momma talkin' to me, tryna tell me how to live
Mi mamá hablándome, tratando de decirme cómo vivir
White boy, white boy, in your cop car
Chico blanco, chico blanco, en tu coche de policía
But I don't listen to her, 'cause my head is like a sieve
Pero no la escucho, porque mi cabeza es como un colador
White boy, white boy, you're untouchable

Don't tell us your attitude's a result of that
No nos digas que tu actitud es el resultado de eso
Balderdash, where'd you get the chip on your shoulder at?
Baladronadas, ¿dónde conseguiste esa chip en el hombro?
Why you kicking that soda can?
¿Por qué estás pateando esa lata de refresco?
Pull your pants up, we 'bout to roll up and
Sube tus pantalones, estamos a punto de llegar y
Throw your ass in the van cuffed
Echarte en la furgoneta esposado
You don't have to know our plans or what our intentions are
No tienes que conocer nuestros planes o nuestras intenciones
Our cards are close to our chest, you better show your hands
Nuestras cartas están cerca de nuestro pecho, es mejor que muestres tus manos
And put our minds more at ease
Y pon nuestras mentes más en paz
Or get shot in the thyroid, comply or die, boy
O recibir un disparo en la tiroides, cumple o muere, chico
We're fightin' a crime war, here come the swine
Estamos luchando una guerra contra el crimen, aquí vienen los cerdos
Tryna clean up the streets from all these minorities
Tratando de limpiar las calles de todas estas minorías
That's what we call 'em pigsties for
Eso es lo que llamamos 'porquerizas'
They're like eyesores to police
Son como una molestia para la policía
Talked to like, you're just a piece of trash
Hablando como si fueras solo una pieza de basura
Feels like we're stuck in a time warp to me
Se siente como si estuviéramos atrapados en un bucle temporal para mí
As I kick these facts and get these mixed reactions
Mientras pateo estos hechos y obtengo estas reacciones mixtas
As this beat backspins, it's like we're drifting back in
Mientras este ritmo retrocede, es como si estuviéramos retrocediendo
To the sixties, having black skin is risky
A los sesenta, tener piel negra es arriesgado
'Cause this keeps happening
Porque esto sigue sucediendo
Throughout history, African-Americans have been treated like shit
A lo largo de la historia, los afroamericanos han sido tratados como mierda
And I admit, there have been times where it's been embarrassin' to be a
Y admito, ha habido momentos en los que ha sido vergonzoso ser un
White boy, white boy, you're a rockstar
Chico blanco, chico blanco, eres una estrella de rock
My momma talkin' to me, tryna tell me how to live
Mi mamá hablándome, tratando de decirme cómo vivir
White boy, white boy, in your cop car
Chico blanco, chico blanco, en tu coche de policía
But I don't listen to her, 'cause my head is like a sieve
Pero no la escucho, porque mi cabeza es como un colador
White boy, white boy, you're untouchable
Chico blanco, chico blanco, eres intocable
The world's coming to an end, I don't even care
El mundo se acaba, ni siquiera me importa
Nobody can tell me shit 'cause I'm a big rockstar
Nadie puede decirme nada porque soy una gran estrella de rock
Seems like the average lifespan of a white man
Parece que la esperanza de vida promedio de un hombre blanco
Is more than twice than a black life span
Es más del doble que la de un hombre negro
I wonder sometimes if it has a price scanner
A veces me pregunto si tiene un escáner de precios
I feel like checking out on life, can't escape this circumstance
Siento ganas de rendirme en la vida, no puedo escapar de esta circunstancia
I'd rather hear 'em say "Die N-word" than Die Antwoord
Preferiría escucharlos decir "Muere N-word" que Die Antwoord
Ninja, now it's better disguised banter
Ninja, ahora es un discurso mejor disfrazado
But that's life, strapped 'cause we're strapped financially
Pero así es la vida, atados porque estamos atados financieramente
And can't find answers
Y no podemos encontrar respuestas
We're applying, but McDonald's
Estamos aplicando, pero McDonald's
Seems to be the only franchise that'll hire
Parece ser la única franquicia que contratará
So how can we have higher standards?
¿Entonces cómo podemos tener estándares más altos?
As Dallas overshadows the battle for Black Lives Matter
Mientras Dallas eclipsa la batalla por Black Lives Matter
We fight back with violence but acts like that are
Luchamos con violencia pero actos como ese son
Black eyes on the movement
Ojos negros en el movimiento
Which makes black lives madder
Lo que hace que las vidas negras estén más enfadadas
At cops and cops madder
Con los policías y los policías más enfadados
That's why it's at a stalemate
Por eso está en un punto muerto
And can't arrive at a compromise so it's Black Ops
Y no puede llegar a un compromiso, así que es Black Ops
I wonder if we hire more black cops, the crap stops
Me pregunto si contratamos más policías negros, ¿se detiene la mierda?
The block is our backyards, officers, not the crack spot
El bloque es nuestro patio trasero, oficiales, no el punto de crack
Call the attack dogs off of us, man
Llamen a los perros de ataque fuera de nosotros, hombre
You always act all pissed off at us at a traffic stop
Siempre actúas muy enfadado con nosotros en un control de tráfico
And bad cops fuck it up for the good cops, and man, stop
Y los malos policías lo joden todo para los buenos policías, y hombre, para
Sendin' white cops in the black neighborhoods
Enviando policías blancos a los barrios negros
Who ain't acclimated to 'em, like that's the way to do it
Que no están aclimatados a ellos, como si esa fuera la forma de hacerlo
Who seen some fuckin' videos of rappers waving guns
Quien ha visto algunos videos de raperos agitando armas
And know nobody black so they act afraid of us
Y no conocen a nadie negro, así que actúan asustados de nosotros
And that's racism, the fear that a black face gives 'em
Y eso es racismo, el miedo que les da una cara negra
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
When we tear it up's the only time attention's paid to us
Cuando lo destrozamos es el único momento en que se nos presta atención
And education sucks, and every day's another
Y la educación apesta, y cada día es otro
Freddie Gray for us, a levy breaks or fuzz
Freddie Gray para nosotros, una rotura de dique o fuzz
Why is it, they treat us like dryer lint?
¿Por qué nos tratan como pelusa de secadora?
We just want a safe environment for our kids
Solo queremos un ambiente seguro para nuestros hijos
But can't escape the sirens
Pero no podemos escapar de las sirenas
Don't take a scientist to see our violent nature lies in
No hace falta ser científico para ver que nuestra naturaleza violenta radica en
The poverty that we face so the crime rate's the highest in
La pobreza que enfrentamos, por lo que la tasa de criminalidad es la más alta en
The lowest classes, it's like a razor wire fence
Las clases más bajas, es como una valla de alambre de púas
And we're trapped in these racial biases
Y estamos atrapados en estos prejuicios raciales
That plague our society which makes our anxiety levels raise
Que asolan nuestra sociedad, lo que hace que nuestros niveles de ansiedad aumenten
Every time we see a devil's face
Cada vez que vemos una cara de diablo
Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my
Leones, tigres y osos, oh Dios mío
It's more like billy clubs and gats
Es más como porras y pistolas
And we really love it when you think we're guilty 'cause we're black
Y realmente nos encanta cuando piensas que somos culpables porque somos negros
"But you kill each other, facts
"Pero se matan entre ustedes, hechos
You peel each other's caps, for silly stuff like hats"
Se quitan las gorras, por tonterías como sombreros"
Single mother strugglin' through substance abuse
Madre soltera luchando contra el abuso de sustancias
While people with nothin' to lose shoot each other for shoes
Mientras personas sin nada que perder se disparan entre sí por zapatos
Fuck your Republican views
Jódanse tus puntos de vista republicanos
Pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, where the fuck are the boots?
Nos levantamos por nuestras propias botas, ¿dónde están las botas?
And streets act as a narrator, don't gotta read comics
Y las calles actúan como narradoras, no tienes que leer cómics
Or be that into characters, just to see that, just to be black
O estar tan metido en los personajes, solo para ver eso, solo para ser negro
You better be strapped with a Derringer
Es mejor que estés armado con un Derringer
Or be "capped in America" like Steve Rogers
O ser "capiroteado en América" como Steve Rogers
'Cause no one oversees these cops and
Porque nadie supervisa a estos policías y
All we see is 'em beat charges
Todo lo que vemos es que vencen los cargos
We done seen 'em beat Rodney King unconscious, and got off
Hemos visto cómo golpean a Rodney King hasta dejarlo inconsciente, y se salieron con la suya
So we don't need all you crooked police officers' peace offerings
Así que no necesitamos todas las ofertas de paz de los policías corruptos
Just keep marchin', 'til we reach Congress
Solo sigue marchando, hasta que lleguemos al Congreso
But they're gonna say you're tryin' to take an irrational stance
Pero van a decir que estás tratando de tomar una postura irracional
If you try to slander the flag but
Si intentas difamar la bandera pero
Somebody has to be the sacrificial lamb
Alguien tiene que ser el cordero sacrificial
So they call it a Kaepernick tantrum
Así que lo llaman un berrinche de Kaepernick
If you don't stand for the national anthem
Si no te pones de pie para el himno nacional
We raise it, you better praise it
Lo levantamos, es mejor que lo alabes
Or you'll be made to feel like a traitor, we'll
O te harán sentir como un traidor, te
Treat you like Rodney Dangerfield
Trataremos como a Rodney Dangerfield
Home of the brave is still racist 'ville
El hogar de los valientes sigue siendo racista
So this whole nation feels like a plantation field
Así que toda esta nación se siente como un campo de plantación
In a country that claims that its foundation was based on United States ideals
En un país que afirma que su fundación se basó en los ideales de los Estados Unidos
That had its Natives killed
Que mató a sus nativos
Got you singin' this star-spangled spiel
Te tienen cantando este discurso de las barras y estrellas
To a piece of cloth that represents the "Land of the Free" that made people slaves to build
A un pedazo de tela que representa la "Tierra de los Libres" que hizo a la gente esclava para construir
Hands up, officer don't shoot
Levez les mains, officier ne tirez pas
Then pull your pants up, promise you won't loot
Ensuite, remontez votre pantalon, promettez que vous ne pillerez pas
We may never understand each other, it's no use
Nous ne nous comprendrons peut-être jamais, ça ne sert à rien
We ain't ever gonna grasp what each other goes through
Nous ne comprendrons jamais ce que chacun traverse
Black boy, black boy, we ain't gonna lie to you
Garçon noir, garçon noir, on ne va pas te mentir
Black boy, black boy, we don't like the sight of you
Garçon noir, garçon noir, on n'aime pas ta vue
Pull up on the side of you
On s'arrête à côté de toi
Window rolled down, 'profile'
Fenêtre baissée, 'profil'
Then we wonder why we see this side of you
Et on se demande pourquoi on voit ce côté de toi
Probably comin' from the dope house
Probablement en provenance de la maison de la drogue
We could let you slide but your tail light is blew, out
On pourrait te laisser filer mais ton feu arrière est éteint
We know you're hidin' that Heidi Klum
On sait que tu caches ce Heidi Klum
On you another drug charge, homie, it's back inside for you
Sur toi une autre accusation de drogue, mon pote, c'est retour en prison pour toi
And just in case a chase might ensue, we got that tried and true
Et juste au cas où une poursuite pourrait s'ensuivre, on a ce qui a fait ses preuves
Pistol drew right at you, we'd be delighted to unload it
Pistolet pointé sur toi, on serait ravi de le décharger
In your back, then walk up and lay that taser on the side of you
Dans ton dos, puis s'approcher et poser ce taser à côté de toi
Fucked up, but what the fuck am I to do?
C'est dégueulasse, mais qu'est-ce que je suis censé faire ?
I keep tellin' myself, keep doin' like you're doin'
Je me dis sans cesse, continue à faire comme tu fais
No matter how many lives you ruin
Peu importe combien de vies tu ruines
It's for the red, white and blue
C'est pour le rouge, le blanc et le bleu
Time to go find a new one and split his head right in two
Il est temps d'en trouver un nouveau et de lui fendre la tête en deux
No one's ever indicted you
Personne ne t'a jamais inculpé
Why? 'Cause you're a

Garçon blanc, garçon blanc, tu es une rockstar
My momma talkin' to me, tryna tell me how to live
Ma maman me parle, essayant de me dire comment vivre
White boy, white boy, in your cop car
Garçon blanc, garçon blanc, dans ta voiture de flic
But I don't listen to her, 'cause my head is like a sieve
Mais je ne l'écoute pas, parce que ma tête est comme une passoire
White boy, white boy, you're untouchable
Garçon blanc, garçon blanc, tu es intouchable
The world's coming to an end, I don't even care
Le monde arrive à sa fin, je m'en fiche
Nobody can tell me shit 'cause I'm a big rockstar
Personne ne peut me dire quoi que ce soit parce que je suis une grande rockstar
Black boy, black boy, we don't get your culture and
Garçon noir, garçon noir, on ne comprend pas ta culture et
We don't care what our government's done to fuck you over, man
On se fiche de ce que notre gouvernement a fait pour te baiser, mec
Don't tell us your attitude's a result of that
Ne nous dis pas que ton attitude est le résultat de ça
Balderdash, where'd you get the chip on your shoulder at?
Balivernes, où as-tu eu cette chip sur l'épaule ?
Why you kicking that soda can?
Pourquoi tu donnes des coups de pied à cette canette de soda ?
Pull your pants up, we 'bout to roll up and
Remonte ton pantalon, on va débarquer et
Throw your ass in the van cuffed
Te jeter dans le fourgon menotté
You don't have to know our plans or what our intentions are
Tu n'as pas à connaître nos plans ou nos intentions
Our cards are close to our chest, you better show your hands
Nos cartes sont près de notre poitrine, tu ferais mieux de montrer tes mains
And put our minds more at ease
Et mettre nos esprits plus à l'aise
Or get shot in the thyroid, comply or die, boy
Ou te faire tirer dans la thyroïde, obéis ou meurs, garçon
We're fightin' a crime war, here come the swine
On mène une guerre contre le crime, voici les porcs
Tryna clean up the streets from all these minorities
Essayant de nettoyer les rues de toutes ces minorités
That's what we call 'em pigsties for
C'est ce qu'on appelle des porcheries
They're like eyesores to police
Ils sont comme des verrues pour la police
Talked to like, you're just a piece of trash
Parlé comme si tu n'étais qu'un morceau de déchet
Feels like we're stuck in a time warp to me
On a l'impression d'être coincé dans une faille temporelle pour moi
As I kick these facts and get these mixed reactions
Alors que je donne ces faits et que je reçois ces réactions mitigées
As this beat backspins, it's like we're drifting back in
Alors que ce beat fait un backspin, on a l'impression de dériver en arrière
To the sixties, having black skin is risky
Dans les années soixante, avoir la peau noire est risqué
'Cause this keeps happening
Parce que ça continue d'arriver
Throughout history, African-Americans have been treated like shit
Tout au long de l'histoire, les Afro-Américains ont été traités comme de la merde
And I admit, there have been times where it's been embarrassin' to be a
Et je l'admets, il y a eu des moments où c'était embarrassant d'être un

Le monde arrive à sa fin, je m'en fiche
Nobody can tell me shit 'cause I'm a big rockstar
Personne ne peut me dire quoi que ce soit parce que je suis une grande rockstar
Seems like the average lifespan of a white man
Il semble que l'espérance de vie moyenne d'un homme blanc
Is more than twice than a black life span
Soit plus du double de celle d'un homme noir
I wonder sometimes if it has a price scanner
Je me demande parfois si cela a un prix
I feel like checking out on life, can't escape this circumstance
J'ai l'impression de vouloir abandonner la vie, je ne peux pas échapper à cette circonstance
I'd rather hear 'em say "Die N-word" than Die Antwoord
Je préférerais les entendre dire "Meurs N-word" plutôt que Die Antwoord
Ninja, now it's better disguised banter
Ninja, maintenant c'est une plaisanterie mieux déguisée
But that's life, strapped 'cause we're strapped financially
Mais c'est la vie, coincés parce que nous sommes financièrement coincés
And can't find answers
Et on ne trouve pas de réponses
We're applying, but McDonald's
On postule, mais McDonald's
Seems to be the only franchise that'll hire
Semble être la seule franchise qui embauche
So how can we have higher standards?
Alors comment pouvons-nous avoir des standards plus élevés ?
As Dallas overshadows the battle for Black Lives Matter
Alors que Dallas éclipse la bataille pour Black Lives Matter
We fight back with violence but acts like that are
Nous ripostons avec violence mais des actes comme ça sont
Black eyes on the movement
Des yeux noirs sur le mouvement
Which makes black lives madder
Ce qui rend les vies noires plus en colère
At cops and cops madder
Contre les flics et les flics en colère
That's why it's at a stalemate
C'est pourquoi c'est dans une impasse
And can't arrive at a compromise so it's Black Ops
Et on ne peut pas arriver à un compromis alors c'est Black Ops
I wonder if we hire more black cops, the crap stops
Je me demande si on embauche plus de flics noirs, la merde s'arrête
The block is our backyards, officers, not the crack spot
Le bloc est notre arrière-cour, les officiers, pas le spot de crack
Call the attack dogs off of us, man
Appelez les chiens d'attaque hors de nous, mec
You always act all pissed off at us at a traffic stop
Vous avez toujours l'air très énervé contre nous lors d'un contrôle de circulation
And bad cops fuck it up for the good cops, and man, stop
Et les mauvais flics le gâchent pour les bons flics, et mec, arrête
Sendin' white cops in the black neighborhoods
Envoyez des flics blancs dans les quartiers noirs
Who ain't acclimated to 'em, like that's the way to do it
Qui ne sont pas acclimatés à eux, comme si c'était la façon de le faire
Who seen some fuckin' videos of rappers waving guns
Qui a vu des putains de vidéos de rappeurs agitant des armes
And know nobody black so they act afraid of us
Et ne connaît personne de noir alors ils ont peur de nous
And that's racism, the fear that a black face gives 'em
Et c'est du racisme, la peur qu'un visage noir leur donne
A subconscious racist
Un raciste inconscient
Wait, why are there black neighborhoods?
Attendez, pourquoi y a-t-il des quartiers noirs ?
'Cause America segregated us, designated us to an area
Parce que l'Amérique nous a ségrégués, nous a désignés pour une zone
Separated us, Section-Eight'd us
Nous a séparés, nous a mis en Section Huit
When we tear it up's the only time attention's paid to us
Quand on la déchire, c'est le seul moment où on nous prête attention
And education sucks, and every day's another
Et l'éducation suce, et chaque jour est un autre
Freddie Gray for us, a levy breaks or fuzz
Freddie Gray pour nous, une rupture de digue ou du fuzz
Why is it, they treat us like dryer lint?
Pourquoi est-ce qu'ils nous traitent comme de la peluche de sèche-linge ?
We just want a safe environment for our kids
On veut juste un environnement sûr pour nos enfants
But can't escape the sirens
Mais on ne peut pas échapper aux sirènes
Don't take a scientist to see our violent nature lies in
Il ne faut pas être un scientifique pour voir que notre nature violente réside dans
The poverty that we face so the crime rate's the highest in
La pauvreté que nous affrontons donc le taux de criminalité est le plus élevé dans
The lowest classes, it's like a razor wire fence
Les classes les plus basses, c'est comme une clôture de fil de rasoir
And we're trapped in these racial biases
Et nous sommes coincés dans ces préjugés raciaux
That plague our society which makes our anxiety levels raise
Qui affligent notre société ce qui fait monter nos niveaux d'anxiété
Every time we see a devil's face
Chaque fois que nous voyons un visage de diable
Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my
Lions, tigres et ours, oh mon
It's more like billy clubs and gats
C'est plus comme des matraques et des flingues
And we really love it when you think we're guilty 'cause we're black
Et on adore vraiment quand vous pensez qu'on est coupable parce qu'on est noir
"But you kill each other, facts
"Mais vous vous tuez entre vous, des faits
You peel each other's caps, for silly stuff like hats"
Vous vous tirez dessus pour des trucs stupides comme des chapeaux"
Single mother strugglin' through substance abuse
Mère célibataire luttant contre l'abus de substances
While people with nothin' to lose shoot each other for shoes
Alors que des gens n'ont rien à perdre se tirent dessus pour des chaussures
Fuck your Republican views
Fuck vos vues républicaines
Pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, where the fuck are the boots?
On se tire nous-mêmes par nos lacets, où sont les bottes ?
And streets act as a narrator, don't gotta read comics
Et les rues agissent comme un narrateur, pas besoin de lire des bandes dessinées
Or be that into characters, just to see that, just to be black
Ou d'être trop dans les personnages, juste pour voir ça, juste pour être noir
You better be strapped with a Derringer
Vous feriez mieux d'être armé d'un Derringer
Or be "capped in America" like Steve Rogers
Ou d'être "cappé en Amérique" comme Steve Rogers
'Cause no one oversees these cops and
Parce que personne ne supervise ces flics et
All we see is 'em beat charges
Tout ce qu'on voit, c'est qu'ils battent les charges
We done seen 'em beat Rodney King unconscious, and got off
On les a vus battre Rodney King inconscient, et ils s'en sont sortis
So we don't need all you crooked police officers' peace offerings
Alors on n'a pas besoin de toutes vos offrandes de paix de flics véreux
Just keep marchin', 'til we reach Congress
Il suffit de continuer à marcher, jusqu'à ce qu'on atteigne le Congrès
But they're gonna say you're tryin' to take an irrational stance
Mais ils vont dire que vous essayez de prendre une position irrationnelle
If you try to slander the flag but
Si vous essayez de diffamer le drapeau mais
Somebody has to be the sacrificial lamb
Quelqu'un doit être l'agneau sacrificiel
So they call it a Kaepernick tantrum
Alors ils appellent ça une crise de Kaepernick
If you don't stand for the national anthem
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

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

[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
