White Privilege, Pt. 2
AUTHOR UNKNOWN COMPOSER, RYAN LEWIS, BEN HAGGERTY, GLEN LANE REYNOLDS, LARRY GRIFFIN
Pulled into the parking lot, parked it
Zipped up my parka, joined the procession of marchers
In my head like, "is this awkward?
Should I even be here marching?"
Thinking if they can't, how can I breathe?
Thinking that they chant, what do I sing?
I want to take a stance 'cause we are not free
And then I thought about it, we are not "we"
Am I in the outside looking in, or am I in the inside looking out?
Is it my place to give my two cents?
Or should I stand on the side and shut my mouth?
"No justice, no peace," okay, I'm saying that
They're chanting out, "black lives matter," but I don't say it back
Is it okay for me to say? I don't know, so I watch and stand
In front of a line of police that look the same as me
Only separated by a badge, a baton, a can of Mace, a mask
A shield, a gun with gloves and hands that gives an alibi
In case somebody dies behind a bullet that flies out of the nine
Takes another child's life on sight
Blood in the streets, no justice, no peace
No racist beliefs, no rest 'til we're free
There's blood in the streets, no justice, no peace
No racist beliefs, no rest 'til we're free
Blood in the streets, no justice, no peace
No racist beliefs, no rest 'til we're free
There's blood in the streets, no justice, no peace
No racist beliefs, no rest 'til we're free
You've exploited and stolen the music, the moment
The magic, the passion, the fashion, you toy with
The culture was never yours to make better
You're Miley, you're Elvis, you're Iggy Azalea
Fake and so plastic, you've heisted the magic
You've taken the drums and the accent you rapped in
Your brand of hip-hop, it's so fascist and backwards
That Grandmaster Flash'd go slap it, you bastard
All the money that you made
All the watered down pop-bullshit version of the culture, pal
Go buy a big-ass lawn, go with your big-ass house
Get a big-ass fence, keep people out
It's all stolen, anyway, can't you see that now?
There's no way for you to even that out
You can join the march, protest, scream and shout
Get on Twitter, hashtag and seem like you're down
But they see through it all, people believe you now?
You said publicly, "rest in peace, Mike Brown"
You speak about equality, but do you really mean it?
Are you marching for freedom, or when it's convenient?
Want people to like you, want to be accepted?
That's probably why you are out here protesting
Don't think for a second you don't have incentive
Is this about you, well, then what's your intention?
What's the intention?
What's the intention?
"Pssst, I totally get it
You're by yourself and the last thing you want to do is take a picture
But seriously, my little girl loves you
She's always singing, 'I'm gonna pop some tags'
I'm not kidding, my oldest, you even got him to go thrifting
And 'One Love,' oh my God, that song, brilliant
Their aunt is gay, when that song came out
My son told his whole class he was actually proud
That's so cool, look what you're accomplishing
Even the old mom like me likes it, 'cause it's positive
You're the only hip-hop that I let my kids listen to
'Cause you get it, all that negative stuff it isn't cool"
(Yeah?) "yeah, like, all the guns and the drugs
The bitches and the hoes and the gangs and the thugs
Even the protest outside, so sad, and so dumb
If a cop pulls you over, it's your fault if you run"
(Huh?)
Damn, a lot of opinions, a lot of confusion, a lot of resentment
Some of us scared, some of us defensive
And most of us aren't even paying attention
It seems like we're more concerned with being called racist
Than we actually are with racism
I've heard that silences are action and God knows that I've been passive
What if I actually read a article, actually had a dialogue
Actually looked at myself, actually got involved?
If I'm aware of my privilege and do nothing at all, I don't know
Hip-hop has always been political, yes
It's the reason why this music connects
So what the fuck has happened to my voice if I stay silent when black people are dying
Then I'm trying to be politically correct?
I can book a whole tour, sell out the tickets
Rap entrepreneur, built his own business
If I'm only in this for my own self-interest, not the culture that gave me a voice to begin with
Then this isn't authentic, it is just a gimmick
The D.I.Y underdog, so independent
But the one thing the American dream fails to mention
Is I was many steps ahead to begin with
My skin matches the hero, likeness, the image
America feels safe with my music in their systems
And it's suited me perfect, the role, I've fulfilled it

White supremacy isn't just a white dude in Idaho

Your silence is a luxury
Hip-hop is not a luxury
Your silence is a luxury
Hip-hop is not a luxury
Your silence is a luxury
Hip-hop is not a luxury
Your silence is a luxury
Hip-hop is not a luxury
What I got for me, it is for me
What we made, we made to set us free
What I got for me, it is for me
What we made, we made to set us free
What I got for me, it is for me
What we made, we made to set us free
Pulled into the parking lot, parked it
In den Parkplatz eingefahren, geparkt
Zipped up my parka, joined the procession of marchers
Meinen Parka zugezogen, mich dem Zug der Marschierenden angeschlossen
In my head like, "is this awkward?
In meinem Kopf wie, „Ist das unangenehm?
Should I even be here marching?"
Sollte ich überhaupt hier marschieren?“
Thinking if they can't, how can I breathe?
Denke, wenn sie nicht können, wie kann ich atmen?
Thinking that they chant, what do I sing?
Denke, dass sie skandieren, was soll ich singen?
I want to take a stance 'cause we are not free
Ich will Stellung beziehen, denn wir sind nicht frei
And then I thought about it, we are not "we"
Und dann dachte ich darüber nach, wir sind nicht „wir“
Am I in the outside looking in, or am I in the inside looking out?
Bin ich außen und schaue hinein, oder bin ich innen und schaue hinaus?
Is it my place to give my two cents?
Ist es meine Aufgabe, meinen Senf dazuzugeben?
Or should I stand on the side and shut my mouth?
Oder sollte ich an der Seite stehen und meinen Mund halten?
"No justice, no peace," okay, I'm saying that
„Keine Gerechtigkeit, kein Frieden“, okay, das sage ich
They're chanting out, "black lives matter," but I don't say it back
Sie skandieren „Black Lives Matter“, aber ich sage es nicht zurück
Is it okay for me to say? I don't know, so I watch and stand
Ist es in Ordnung für mich, das zu sagen? Ich weiß es nicht, also schaue ich zu und stehe
In front of a line of police that look the same as me
Vor einer Reihe von Polizisten, die genauso aussehen wie ich
Only separated by a badge, a baton, a can of Mace, a mask
Nur getrennt durch ein Abzeichen, einen Schlagstock, eine Dose Pfefferspray, eine Maske
A shield, a gun with gloves and hands that gives an alibi
Ein Schild, eine Pistole mit Handschuhen und Händen, die ein Alibi geben
In case somebody dies behind a bullet that flies out of the nine
Für den Fall, dass jemand stirbt hinter einer Kugel, die aus der Neun fliegt
Takes another child's life on sight
Nimmt das Leben eines weiteren Kindes auf Sicht
Blood in the streets, no justice, no peace
Blut auf den Straßen, keine Gerechtigkeit, kein Frieden
No racist beliefs, no rest 'til we're free
Keine rassistischen Überzeugungen, keine Ruhe, bis wir frei sind
There's blood in the streets, no justice, no peace
Blut auf den Straßen, keine Gerechtigkeit, kein Frieden
No racist beliefs, no rest 'til we're free
Keine rassistischen Überzeugungen, keine Ruhe, bis wir frei sind
Blood in the streets, no justice, no peace
Blut auf den Straßen, keine Gerechtigkeit, kein Frieden
No racist beliefs, no rest 'til we're free
Keine rassistischen Überzeugungen, keine Ruhe, bis wir frei sind
There's blood in the streets, no justice, no peace
Blut auf den Straßen, keine Gerechtigkeit, kein Frieden
No racist beliefs, no rest 'til we're free
Keine rassistischen Überzeugungen, keine Ruhe, bis wir frei sind
You've exploited and stolen the music, the moment
Du hast die Musik, den Moment ausgenutzt und gestohlen
The magic, the passion, the fashion, you toy with
Die Magie, die Leidenschaft, die Mode, mit der du spielst
The culture was never yours to make better
Die Kultur war nie deine, um sie zu verbessern
You're Miley, you're Elvis, you're Iggy Azalea
Du bist Miley, du bist Elvis, du bist Iggy Azalea
Fake and so plastic, you've heisted the magic
Falsch und so plastisch, du hast die Magie geraubt
You've taken the drums and the accent you rapped in
Du hast die Trommeln und den Akzent genommen, in dem du gerappt hast
Your brand of hip-hop, it's so fascist and backwards
Deine Art von Hip-Hop ist so faschistisch und rückständig
That Grandmaster Flash'd go slap it, you bastard
Dass Grandmaster Flash es schlagen würde, du Bastard
All the money that you made
All das Geld, das du gemacht hast
All the watered down pop-bullshit version of the culture, pal
All die verwässerte Pop-Bullshit-Version der Kultur, Kumpel
Go buy a big-ass lawn, go with your big-ass house
Kauf dir einen großen Rasen, geh mit deinem großen Haus
Get a big-ass fence, keep people out
Hol dir einen großen Zaun, halte die Leute fern
It's all stolen, anyway, can't you see that now?
Es ist sowieso alles gestohlen, siehst du das jetzt nicht?
There's no way for you to even that out
Es gibt keine Möglichkeit für dich, das auszugleichen
You can join the march, protest, scream and shout
Du kannst dem Marsch beitreten, protestieren, schreien und rufen
Get on Twitter, hashtag and seem like you're down
Geh auf Twitter, Hashtag und tu so, als ob du dabei bist
But they see through it all, people believe you now?
Aber sie sehen durch alles durch, glauben die Leute dir jetzt?
You said publicly, "rest in peace, Mike Brown"
Du hast öffentlich gesagt, „Ruhe in Frieden, Mike Brown“
You speak about equality, but do you really mean it?
Du sprichst von Gleichheit, aber meinst du das wirklich?
Are you marching for freedom, or when it's convenient?
Marschierst du für Freiheit, oder wenn es dir passt?
Want people to like you, want to be accepted?
Willst du, dass die Leute dich mögen, willst du akzeptiert werden?
That's probably why you are out here protesting
Das ist wahrscheinlich der Grund, warum du hier protestierst
Don't think for a second you don't have incentive
Denke nicht für eine Sekunde, dass du kein Anreiz hast
Is this about you, well, then what's your intention?
Geht es hier um dich, nun, was ist dann deine Absicht?
What's the intention?
Was ist die Absicht?
What's the intention?
Was ist die Absicht?
"Pssst, I totally get it
„Pssst, ich verstehe es total
You're by yourself and the last thing you want to do is take a picture
Du bist alleine und das Letzte, was du tun willst, ist ein Foto zu machen
But seriously, my little girl loves you
Aber ernsthaft, meine kleine Tochter liebt dich
She's always singing, 'I'm gonna pop some tags'
Sie singt immer 'Ich werde einige Tags knallen'
I'm not kidding, my oldest, you even got him to go thrifting
Ich mache keine Witze, meinen Ältesten hast du sogar zum Trödeln gebracht
And 'One Love,' oh my God, that song, brilliant
Und 'One Love', oh mein Gott, dieses Lied, genial
Their aunt is gay, when that song came out
Ihre Tante ist schwul, als dieses Lied herauskam
My son told his whole class he was actually proud
Mein Sohn hat seiner ganzen Klasse gesagt, dass er tatsächlich stolz war
That's so cool, look what you're accomplishing
Das ist so cool, schau, was du erreichst
Even the old mom like me likes it, 'cause it's positive
Sogar die alte Mutter wie ich mag es, weil es positiv ist
You're the only hip-hop that I let my kids listen to
Du bist der einzige Hip-Hop, den ich meinen Kindern erlaube zu hören
'Cause you get it, all that negative stuff it isn't cool"
Weil du es verstehst, all das negative Zeug ist nicht cool“
(Yeah?) "yeah, like, all the guns and the drugs
(Ja?) „Ja, wie, all die Waffen und die Drogen
The bitches and the hoes and the gangs and the thugs
Die Schlampen und die Huren und die Gangs und die Schläger
Even the protest outside, so sad, and so dumb
Sogar der Protest draußen, so traurig und so dumm
If a cop pulls you over, it's your fault if you run"
Wenn ein Polizist dich anhält, ist es deine Schuld, wenn du wegrennst“
(Huh?)
(Hä?)
Damn, a lot of opinions, a lot of confusion, a lot of resentment
Verdammt, viele Meinungen, viel Verwirrung, viel Groll
Some of us scared, some of us defensive
Einige von uns haben Angst, einige von uns sind defensiv
And most of us aren't even paying attention
Und die meisten von uns achten nicht einmal darauf
It seems like we're more concerned with being called racist
Es scheint, als wären wir mehr daran interessiert, als Rassisten bezeichnet zu werden
Than we actually are with racism
Als dass wir tatsächlich Rassismus sind
I've heard that silences are action and God knows that I've been passive
Ich habe gehört, dass Schweigen Handeln ist und Gott weiß, dass ich passiv war
What if I actually read a article, actually had a dialogue
Was wäre, wenn ich tatsächlich einen Artikel lesen, tatsächlich einen Dialog führen würde
Actually looked at myself, actually got involved?
Tatsächlich mich selbst betrachten, tatsächlich involviert werden würde?
If I'm aware of my privilege and do nothing at all, I don't know
Wenn ich mir meiner Privilegien bewusst bin und überhaupt nichts tue, weiß ich nicht
Hip-hop has always been political, yes
Hip-Hop war schon immer politisch, ja
It's the reason why this music connects
Es ist der Grund, warum diese Musik verbindet
So what the fuck has happened to my voice if I stay silent when black people are dying
Was zum Teufel ist mit meiner Stimme passiert, wenn ich schweige, wenn schwarze Menschen sterben
Then I'm trying to be politically correct?
Dann versuche ich politisch korrekt zu sein?
I can book a whole tour, sell out the tickets
Ich kann eine ganze Tour buchen, die Tickets ausverkaufen
Rap entrepreneur, built his own business
Rap-Unternehmer, baute sein eigenes Geschäft
If I'm only in this for my own self-interest, not the culture that gave me a voice to begin with
Wenn ich nur für mein eigenes Interesse dabei bin, nicht für die Kultur, die mir eine Stimme gab
Then this isn't authentic, it is just a gimmick
Dann ist das nicht authentisch, es ist nur ein Gimmick
The D.I.Y underdog, so independent
Der D.I.Y Underdog, so unabhängig
But the one thing the American dream fails to mention
Aber das eine, was der amerikanische Traum vergisst zu erwähnen
Is I was many steps ahead to begin with
Ist, dass ich viele Schritte voraus war
My skin matches the hero, likeness, the image
Meine Haut passt zum Helden, Ähnlichkeit, zum Bild
America feels safe with my music in their systems
Amerika fühlt sich sicher mit meiner Musik in ihren Systemen
And it's suited me perfect, the role, I've fulfilled it
Und es hat mir perfekt gepasst, die Rolle, ich habe sie erfüllt
And if I'm the hero, you know who gets cast as the villain
Und wenn ich der Held bin, weißt du, wer als Bösewicht besetzt wird
White supremacy isn't just a white dude in Idaho
Weiße Vorherrschaft ist nicht nur ein weißer Kerl in Idaho
White supremacy protects the privilege I hold
Weiße Vorherrschaft schützt das Privileg, das ich habe
White supremacy is the soil, the foundation, the cement and the flag that flies outside of my home
Weiße Vorherrschaft ist der Boden, das Fundament, der Zement und die Flagge, die vor meinem Haus fliegt
White supremacy is our country's lineage, designed for us to be indifferent
Weiße Vorherrschaft ist die Abstammung unseres Landes, dafür ausgelegt, dass wir gleichgültig sind
My success is the product of the same system that let off Darren Wilson, guilty
Mein Erfolg ist das Produkt desselben Systems, das Darren Wilson, schuldig, laufen ließ
We want to dress like, walk like, talk like, dance like, yet we just stand by
Wir wollen uns kleiden wie, laufen wie, reden wie, tanzen wie, doch wir stehen nur daneben
We take all we want from black culture, but will we show up for black lives?
Wir nehmen alles, was wir von der schwarzen Kultur wollen, aber werden wir für schwarze Leben auftauchen?

Pulled into the parking lot, parked it
Estacionei no estacionamento, estacionei
Zipped up my parka, joined the procession of marchers
Fechei meu casaco, juntei-me à procissão de manifestantes
In my head like, "is this awkward?
Na minha cabeça como, "isso é estranho?
Should I even be here marching?"
Devo estar aqui marchando?"
Thinking if they can't, how can I breathe?
Pensando se eles não podem, como posso respirar?
Thinking that they chant, what do I sing?
Pensando que eles cantam, o que eu canto?
I want to take a stance 'cause we are not free
Quero tomar uma posição porque não somos livres
And then I thought about it, we are not "we"
E então eu pensei sobre isso, nós não somos "nós"
Am I in the outside looking in, or am I in the inside looking out?
Estou do lado de fora olhando para dentro, ou estou do lado de dentro olhando para fora?
Is it my place to give my two cents?
É meu lugar dar minha opinião?
Or should I stand on the side and shut my mouth?
Ou devo ficar de lado e calar a boca?
"No justice, no peace," okay, I'm saying that
"Sem justiça, sem paz", ok, estou dizendo isso
They're chanting out, "black lives matter," but I don't say it back
Eles estão gritando, "vidas negras importam", mas eu não digo de volta
Is it okay for me to say? I don't know, so I watch and stand
É ok para mim dizer? Eu não sei, então eu assisto e fico
In front of a line of police that look the same as me
Na frente de uma linha de policiais que parecem iguais a mim
Only separated by a badge, a baton, a can of Mace, a mask
Apenas separados por um distintivo, um cassetete, uma lata de gás, uma máscara
A shield, a gun with gloves and hands that gives an alibi
Um escudo, uma arma com luvas e mãos que dão um álibi
In case somebody dies behind a bullet that flies out of the nine
Caso alguém morra por trás de uma bala que sai do nove
Takes another child's life on sight
Tira a vida de outra criança à vista
Blood in the streets, no justice, no peace
Sangue nas ruas, sem justiça, sem paz
No racist beliefs, no rest 'til we're free
Sem crenças racistas, sem descanso até sermos livres

Empreendedor do rap, construiu seu próprio negócio
If I'm only in this for my own self-interest, not the culture that gave me a voice to begin with

White supremacy isn't just a white dude in Idaho
Supremacia branca não é apenas um cara branco em Idaho
White supremacy protects the privilege I hold

Nós pegamos tudo o que queremos da cultura negra, mas vamos aparecer para as vidas negras?
