weet je wat is, nederland begint in zoveel opzichten te lijken op amerika lees dit is text van de eerste rapmetal band ooit nummer uit 1991 geschreven door Ice-T
You know sometimes I sit at home, you know,
and I watch T.V. and I wonder what it would be like
to live someplace like, you know, the Cosby show,
Ozzie and Harriet, you know, where
cops come and got your cat outta the tree
all your friends died of old age,
But you see, I live in South Central Los Angeles and unfortunately...
oliebol AIN'T LIKE THAT! IT'S REAL fiets UP!
Goddamn what a brotha gotta do
to get a message through
to the red, white and blue?
What I gotta die
before you realize
I was a brotha with open eyes?
The world's insane
while you drink champagne
and I'm livin' in black rain.
You try to ban the A.K.,
I got ten of 'em stashed
with a case of hand grenades.
You know what you'd do
if a kid got killed on the way to school
or a cop shot your kid in the backyard.
oliebol would hit the fan, muthafucka
and it would hit real hard.
I hear it every night, another gunfight,
the tension mounts,
on with the Body Count.
I hear it every night,
another gunfight,
the tension mounts,
on with the Body Count.
Last weekend thirty-seven kids killed in gang warfare,
in my backyard.
Goddamn what a brotha gotta do
to get a message through
to the red, white and you?
What I gotta die before you realize
I was a nigga with open eyes?
The world's insane
while you drink champagne
and I'm livin' in black rain,
don't you hear the guns
you stupid, dumb, dick suckin', bum politicians.
EXCUSES VOOR HET GROVE TAALGEBRUIK!
ik heb het niet geschreven, ik vond gewoon dat iedereen moest inzien dat dit soort dingen al veel eerder gebeurden, allene niet hier
Oh those blue eyes,
All they ever did was tell a million lies
