Rakaa Iriscience - Rosetta Stone Groove (Universal Language) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro - adlibs by Rakaa]
(Percussion - I feel that, Let’s move...
Bongos -- Let’s go -- see Bobo’s ready!
Rhettmatic -- you ready!
Ladies -- Let’s move!)

[Refrain - Rakaa & Noelle Scaggs, alternating]
Peace king, peace ahki / Peace queen, peace ahki
Peace king, peace ahki / Peace queen, peace ahki
Peace king, peace ahki / Peace queen, peace ahki

[Hook - Rakaa & Noelle]
Better shoot me down to fly, better bring me down to rise
Better cut me down to climb, but they want to see eye to eye

[Verse - Rakaa]
Great nation, shift to plantation
Music in the warrior’s heart, kept safe in the dark
Middle passage, not Noah’s ark
But the church did get the soul and the spark
Blues was the flip-side, floating with sharks
Then came jazz ripped open the arts
Same blues morphed into rock
Invaded pop - then the Bronx created hip-hop
[Ad-libs]
(DJ...Rhettmatic...Let’s go!
Bobo, break it down like this!

Yeah, Universal Language
Been all over the world...matter a fact it feel like:

[Rakaa & Noelle]
Johannesburg! (That’s what it feel like!)
Cuba! (That’s what it feel like!)
P.R.! (That’s what it feel like!)
D.R.! (That’s what it feel like!)
Kingston! (That’s what it feel like!)
New Orleans! (That’s what it feel like!)
Haiti! (That’s what it feel like!)
???? (That’s what it feel like!)

[Hook]

[Outro]
Oooh...(Miss Noelle Scaggs)
Bobo meets Rhettmatic...Rakaa
[Final Refrain]
Peace king, peace ahki / Peace queen, peace ahki
Peace king, peace ahki / Peace queen, peace ahki
Peace king, peace ahki / Peace queen, peace ahki
