Kanye West - We Can Make It Better [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Kanye West]
("Make It Up") We can make it better
("Make It Up") We can make it better
("Make It Up") We can make it better
("Make It Up") We can make it

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Somebody told me that Delta's brownskinned, AKAs' lightskinned
And they supposed to be bougious, so they got white friends
First day of school, I'mma take you sight seein'
Show you what we do on weekends for excitement
She said, "I know what you about to say, like your hypeman"
Last year a nigga hit her, and now she only date white men
And if a nigga even wave at her, it's frightnin' but

[Hook: Kanye West]
("Make It Up") We can make it better
(Better we can)
("Make It Up") We can make it better
(Better we can make it on up, we can)
("Make It Up") We can make it better
(Better we can)
("Make It Up") We can make it

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli]
The night fallin' over Brooklyn, where they murder for change
The converter remains faithful to the drugdealer priestess
He in search of the word of fame, you heard of the name
Kweli the truth, like I'm comin' out the mouths of babes
One foot in, one foot out the grave
Niggas want they reperations, How you calculate the amount to be paid
You try to imagine America without the slaves (the slaves)

[Hook: Kanye West]

[Verse 3: Q-Tip]
Her tenament yo, is rat infested
Her heart is like a gold bullion cause she went and protested
Cause, her bestfriend's man got popped
He was sixteen years old, the cop thought his phone was a Glock
In the hood is a everday happenin'
In front of the precinct she chews out the captain
She yelled out "Why you do this to black men?"

[Hook: Kanye West]

[Verse 4: Common]
I think of eighty seven ways, to make better days
Whether crime or rhyme, I heard the rebel pays
On the scene, tryin' to get green like everglades
The music, ridin' it good like the Escalades
In the ghetto infested by shade and drama
And niggas wit' thangs ain't afraid of karma
I'm thinkin' big like Lil Wayne in The Carter

[Hook: Kanye West]

[Verse 5: Rhymefest]
C'mon; Tell people the truth, but never give 'em ya true thoughts
Terrorism on blacks, they poison our Newports
Partiot Act in effect, make it hard to breathe now
Johnnie Cochran dead, who gonna get us us free now?
Clinton ain't in office, who gon' give us shit free now?
Who gon' make it better for the thugs in the penal?
Who gon' make it good for old folks that's senile?
Oh, it's good music, yeah dog I see now

[Hook: Kanye West]
