Andy What - Obey [The Rules] [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

"I have certain rules, I live by. My first rule, I don't believe anything the government tells me." - George Carlin

"You showed me in your history book, you didn't have no respect for the police. Yeah, it's in there. Said, in the early days when the British was the police... Then you run around and tell me to have respect for the police." - Dick Gregory

HOOK
Obey they rules/
You could play it cool/
You could play the fool/
Or you could uncover the truth/
I said-
Obey they rules/
You could play it cool/
You could play the fool/
Or you could uncover the truth/
Rebel, Ask Question, Research Your History!/
Don't believe what they tell ya 'til it makes sense logically/

VERSE 1
The got skulls, crossbones, horns, and bulls/
Pyramids, all seeing eyes, and still your senses dull/
Symbolism for the symbol minded/
Free thinkers, plant your liberty flag and stand behind it/
And if they try to wipe you out because you won't deny it/
May the Lord have Mercy over this freedom fighting/

HOOK
Obey they rules/
You could play it cool/
You could play the fool/
Or you could uncover the truth/
Rebel, Ask Question, Research Your History!/
Rebel, Ask Question, Research Your History!/
Rebel, Ask Question, Research Your History!/
Don't believe what they tell ya 'til it makes sense logically/

VERSE 2
Unfair sentences like my bars tighter/
They want your light like homies cuffing lighters/
Stuck in the life between hired and fired/
If you're a puppet in the game, might as well retire/
Use you up, find a replacement and poof/
Choose another one: Duck, Duck, Goose/
Need an example?, Peyton got cut loose/
[You could] lead a horse to water but he'd probably drink hooch/-
There's something on fire/
My pupils and eyelids/
I feel like a tyrant/
2Pac inspired/
Pulling all nighters/
Fight fire with fire/
Molotov -
Alcohol -
Get drunk and bomb 'em all/
Presidential, drop 'em off/
Press a button, Obama call/
Straight face, say your not involved/
Got your back, it was not my dogs/
Alibi like dental floss/
Tight rope 'tween pinch and jaws/
Cut your ties to negative to negative flaws/
Or go forth with an evil cause and Obey the laws/

HOOK
Obey they rules/
You could play it cool/
You could play the fool/
Or you could uncover the truth/
Rebel, Ask Question, Research Your History!/
Rebel, Ask Question, Research Your History!/
Rebel, Ask Question, Research Your History!/
Don't believe what they tell ya 'til it makes sense logically/

VERSE 3
Obey! - It's on your clothes/
In your food/
In your music/
And on the news/
If you open your mind to the lies and think outside the box/
Then you'll probably turn that T.V. off and never come back to fox/
Obey - the clock -
Get up and go to work/
NO!, WAKE UP!, Create some work/
Innovation, starting with the church/
Present day, fix your actions, be a better human being/
Cuz them laws'll say your dirty - false charge - when you was clearly clean/
--We got a crook captured/--
Jury looking at ya/
All them racist captions/
Then they throw the book at ya/
Dead Wrong!

"But you'll still give me that white boy history book, telling me how your white folks got on that foreign ship and threw all that man's tea in the water ... " - Dick Gregory

It's not funny!

"So I pulled away emotionally and I said, you know what, FUCK EM! Let 'em do what they wanna do. I'm going to enjoy this shit as a spectator. I think of it as the freak show. I like to say this, When you're born in this world, you're given a ticket to the freak show. When you're born in America, you're given a front row seat." - George Carlin
