Public Enemy - Escapism
Tekst :
[verse 1]
Is the groove good to you
Like when you lose your thing
Forgetten grits is grocery
And eggs is poultry
Makin a livin against those makin a killin
Super blackman gotha back
And is back in the building
If the prison is that skin you in
And your cell sittin inside your skull
They say you cant getaway
From ya damn self
When your earth is heaven
And your world be hell
Check your head
Armageddons at the foot of your bed
You aint heard a word i said
Forget them slacks
Im that throwback that
Threw that throwback
Back on the racks
To get my mind back
O say can you see
I get back its still just a black and white tv
In lyin color brother
Gots to getaway to the other.
[verse 2]
Never was too good
Off the top of my head
Cause i want yall to know
Exactly what i said
This so called war in iraq
Over a thousand dead
Thats about
10 a week
Even as i speak
33% of black males in jail
55% of black students will fail
85% of black folks forgot
We were slaves
Up inside this box
America got folks brains on lock
Forget the connects
Some wanna buy whats next
Wear it like a sign up in that chest
Yall should know papa dont take no mess
If you think your past is irrelevant
Dont you know ol soul pays the gt damn rent
That messiah aint never
Gonna come as long as
You thinkin freedom
Is bein free to be dumb
[verse 3]
Soul is back
So flip them hits back
Damn the fashion
I wanna know wheres the passion
Thinkin we came a long way baby
Sayin poor michaels psycho
And prince hes crazy
But what has bob mick sir paul
Done for you lately
How they maintain on your brain
Seems to escape me
Heard some ghetto cats
Dont like metal rap
Hear it and fear it
And they think its wack
They dont even know that the blues is black
And when i rap is back to the roots
Where i be at
Not some 30 year old who dont know facts
Whos wild sayin things like some juvenile
Remember 2 million black folks in the penile
Got a world of whitefolks
Thinkin its style
Think im hatin cause you lack the information
Cause we the fbi still gots on file
Inne utwory
Fight the power Do you wanna go our way Gett off my back 911 is a joke Bedlam 13:13 Bring that beat back A letter to the New York Post Black steel in the hour of chaos By the time i get to Arizona Game face Air hoodlum Can you hear me now Burn Hollywood burn Fear of a black planet Crayola Brothers gonna work it out First the sheep next the shepherd Death of a carjacka Losowe utwory
Gołębie wszystkich placów, wzywam was,
z pomników Mickiewicza, wszystkich miast,
z Sukiennic, Placu Zgody i Time Square,
z Kleparza i Concorde, zerwijcie się.
Na ziemi chcą zamienić oddech w dym,
pomniki im do szczęścia, lecz nie my.
Dorosły dzieci-kwiaty, dawno maja własny dom,
kto pójdzie śpiewać dziś, kto wzniesie dłoń…
A tu świat jak zdrowy sad,
tyle słońca, pszczół...
Although I speak in tongues
Of men and angels
I m just sounding brass
And tinkling cymbals without love--
Love suffers long--
Love is kind!--
Enduring all things--
Love has no evil in mind
If I had the gift of prophecy--
Kalter Wind in meinem Herzen
Kalter Wind in meinem Haar
Kälter als hier unten wird s nicht mehr werden
Und niemals wird s so werden wie es war
All die Sterne bleiben oben
In mir bleibt nur deine Spur
Hab ich...
VERSE I
Nobody knows the pain I feel
Nobody knows but it s for real
I can feel it, I do
Nobody knows that I miss you
Nobody knows but it s the truth
I can feel it, I do
B-SECTION
You cannot pretend that I don t even...
Śledzisz mój najmnieszy krok
Czuję wbity w siebie wzrok
Pod powiększonym szkłem
Budze się w środku nocy
Już nie zniosę ze spokojem
Wymślonych tych urojeń
Każdy nawet mały znak
Rodzi przemoc zbudza strach
Przez telefon każdy głos
Na podsłuchu dzień...
