| 作词 : K.Warsame | |
| Uh, yeah, Somalia | |
| Yeah, I spit it for my block, it's an ode, I admit it | |
| Here the city code is lock and load, any minute is rock 'n' roll | |
| And you rock 'n' roll and feel your soul leavin' | |
| It's just the wrong dance that'll leave you not breathin' | |
| I'm not particularly proud of this predicament but | |
| I'm born and bred in this tenement, I'm sentimental, what? | |
| Plus it's only right to represent my hood and what not? | |
| So I'm about to do it in the music, in the movies | |
| Cut to the chase pan across to the face, I'm right there | |
| Freeze frame on the street name, oops, wait a minute | |
| This is where the streets have no name and the drain of sewage | |
| You can see it in this boy how the hate is brewin' | |
| 'Cause when his tummy tucks in, ****, the pain is fluid | |
| So what difference does it make entertaining, threw it | |
| Some get high mixing coke and gun powder, sniffin' | |
| She got a gun but could have been a model or physician | |
| So what you know 'bout the pirates terrorize the ocean | |
| To never know a simple day without a big commotion | |
| It can't be healthy just to live with a such steep emotion | |
| And when I try and sleep, I see coffins closin' | |
| So what you know 'bout the pirates terrorize the ocean | |
| To never know a simple day without a big commotion | |
| It can't be healthy just to live with a such steep emotion | |
| And when I try and sleep, I see coffins closin' | |
| Yeah, yeah, we used to take barbed wire | |
| Mold them around discarded bike tires | |
| Roll 'em down the hill on foot blazin' | |
| Now that was our version of mountain bike racing, damn | |
| Do you see why it's amazing | |
| When someone comes out of such a dire situation | |
| And learns the English language | |
| Just to share his observation? | |
| Probably get a Grammy without a grammar education | |
| So **** you school and **** you immigration | |
| And all of you who thought I wouldn't amount to constipation | |
| And now I'm here without the slightest fear and reservation | |
| They love me in the slums and in the native reservations | |
| The world is a ghetto with ministering deprivation | |
| My mommy didn't raise no fool, did she? | |
| I promise, I would get it and remain strictly loyal | |
| 'Cause when they get it then they let it all switch and spoil | |
| But I just illuminated it like kitchen foil | |
| A lot of main stream niggas is yappin' about yappin' | |
| A lot of underground niggas is rappin' about rappin' | |
| I just wanna tell you what's really crackalackan | |
| Before the tears came down this is what happened | |
| So what you know 'bout the pirates terrorize the ocean | |
| To never know a simple day without a big commotion | |
