C. Rich - No Way [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[verse: C. Rich]
Take a look
Look at me
Said I'm not a prisoner
But i'm still not free
I wake up every morning chained down
In my mind
Too many lectures
Learned no lessons
Too much black and white
When we're all brothers in His eyes
Tell all my people they should never let go
Say we'll make it better we just gotta tell them no
No to the violence
No injustice for me
No to the Police killin our men in the streets

[hook]
So we tellin them no way
No way, no way, no way
Gotta tell them no way
No way, no way, no way
Say we can't take it no more...
Say we can't take it no more...

[verse: C. Rich]
Take a look
Look at me
I gotta pack a pistol, just to get somethin to eat
My money come in real high
But i spend it real low
I stay poppin the flats like
That's all i know
And i stay askin why
Why we don't go
Run from the corners, blocks in the heat
Child shot dead, you can see him in the street
Tell all my people they should never let go
Say we'll make it better we just gotta tell them no
No to the violence
No injustice for me
No to the Police killin our men in the streets

[verse: DAVE]
They hit Michael with his hands up
Shot Oscar with his hands bound
Wasn't no oscar for Michael
Or prison for Zimmerman under that stand ground
So we stand UP, 'til somebody stand trial
For Ezell and Eric
Ramarley and Amadou
How we gon take that shit layin down?
Let Ferguson tell it, that's just how they want it
I'm nervous, my son on the way and they say he a threat by his first day
Better chance at a conviction than grad school admission by 25th birthday
Lemmie not tweak tho, them white people tell us that we a post-racial society
So post all they housing discrimination, acts of hatred and racial profiling

[verse: Sulaiman]
Used to say we three fifths of a human but now they just act like we one half of nothing
In Kemet my niggas was ruling but now they pretend like we can't have discussions
Drillin and bussin
Frackin and stackin
The shit got me feeling like blacker Pythagoras...
I wish I could give you this theorem this serum to bolster ya abacus
Erect a Babylon sorta Cialis
They try to tear it down gotta be adamant
Gotta be Adam it gotta be Eve
If they left the fruit on the trees
And still used the seeds
And buried em down by the leaves
I'm Moses, I'm quoted as being the leader of men when it comes to exceeding the sin
The system they keepin me in
I be tellin em..
