4. Elementer HW Gade - NORDISC Music & Text

My son said, Daddy, I don't wanna go to school
'cuz the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool
And all the kids smoke reefer [marihuana], I think it'd be cheaper
[linierim]
Stoffer i massevis
if I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper [gadefejer]
Når jeg er dum, kan jeg jo lissom bare få et dumt job osse?
Or dance to the beat, shuffle my feet [linierim]
Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps [halvrim]
'cuz it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny [linierim]
You got to have a con [en fidus] in this land of milk and honey
Penge er alt; hvis du ikke bøffer de andre, bøffer de dig
They pushed that girl in front of the train
Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again [halvrim]
Først skubber de hende ud for toget, så syede de armen på igen,
mystisk…
Stabbed that man right in his heart
Gave him a transplant for a brand new start
Er det politikerne, der tager livet af de sorte og giver dem et pseudoliv i
stedet?
I can't walk through the park 'cuz it's crazy after dark [linierim]
Keep my hand on my gun 'cuz they got me on the run [linierim]
De vanvittige våbenlove, der er hovedårsagen til de mange drab i USA
I feel like a outlaw, broke my last glass jaw [linierim]
[Glass jaw = en skrøbelig kæbe eller frygt for at blive slået]
Hear them say "You want some more?"
Livin' on a see-saw [seesaw=en vippe på en legeplads]
Omkvæd
Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge
Rap 5
hvor vi møder Gud og de sortes fremtidsudsigt i et land, hvor sorte er
prædestineret til at ende i fængsel
A child is born with no state of mind [Hej Elvis og “In the Ghetto”]
Blind to the ways of mankind
God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too [frown=rynker panden]
[linierim]
Because only God knows what you'll go through
You'll grow in the ghetto livin' second-rate
And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate
