Sammus - DL [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

VERSE 1
Momma called 'em homos
Daddy called 'em worse
So he really couldn’t let go
Of the feeling he was cursed
But a pretty boy has got a lot of trouble hidin'
Other kids be so annoyed because he wasn’t smiling
At all the PYTs who seemed to really want him
People thinking he might be a little Jimmy Baldwin
So began his life of tryna make it on the on the dl
Getting "d" at night but in the daylight he with females
He never told a soul he had to make sure no one noticed
So he smashed a couple hoes and always acted homophobic
Then he knocked a lady up she called him and she told him
She would have the baby though they barely kicked it like a goalie
When she got more roly poly she asked when he would step up
He looked her in her eyes and told her "Hey please don’t expect much
You told me gays should hide and now I guess that I should fess up
So guess what? Locked up in the closet so I started playing dress up"

CHORUS

You can put me in a box I'mma box ya
Lock the closet up it's impossible
I don’t want your gospel
Tried to be a fraud
But I can't afford the cost of
Putting on a drama that deserves a couple Oscars x2

VERSE 2
She got a poppa from Jamaica
And a crib he bought in Queens
All of the shottas tryna take her virginity every week
On her way to class
Grabbing at her cake while she walking passed
Finally couldn’t take it had to clock 'em
That’s how she got a rep for being crazy
On the daily thugs would chase her
They tried intimidation
Then one day her neighbors raped her
They said it had occurred because she never dated men
Though she had never said a word her father hated lesbians
She faked it for a minute with the brother of her friend
Then he started catching feelings said he couldn’t just pretend
He begged to make it physical -- she wouldn’t so he let her know
That he would show her father things she tried to make invisible
So she let him smash
Sometimes he even taped it
And as the months would pass
He started looking like her rapist
She finally snapped and stabbed his body with a knife
But her daddy died the day before she got 40 to life

CHORUS
