The Enemy
JOSEPH ANTHONY CARTAGENA, LAMONT COLEMAN, CHRISTOPHER E MARTIN
I drive up and down Harlem blocks
Iced out watch Knots in my socks
Cops think I'm selling rocks
Pulling me over to see if I'm drunk But I'm sober
They wouldn't fuck with me if I drove a Nova
Listen Columbo you're mad because your money come slow
And what you make in a year I make in one show
Now you wanna frisk me and search my ride
Call me all kinda names try to hurt my pride
You're just mad cause I'm a young cat, pockets dumb fat
Talkin' bout: Where the gun at?
I been there and done that
I'm through with that illegal life, I'm stayin legit
I love to see cars come cruisin' bye and playin' my shit
I walk around with six thou' without a pist-ol, my whole cliques wild
I'm rich pal, no more sticks I'm makin hits now
I drink Cristal, I'm through breakin' laws
I don't sell coke anymore, I do tours
So get that flashlight out of my face
To bring me down them Jakes'll do whatever it takes
Word up them federals got my phone and my house tapped
Praying that I fall for the mouse trap, I doubt that
Why do I end up in so much shit?
I done came way too far to be callin' it quits
Jake wanna lock me up, even though I'm legit
They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thick
Aiyyo enough's enough, federals try to set me up
Put me in cuffs and crush what I lust into dust
Plus, they want a nigga soul, but they know
Big Joey Crack'll never rat a cat that he know
Fo' sho', death before dishonor; I left the streets alone
Since Tone deceased it almost killed his mama
So I'mma keep doin what I'm doin
Pursuin' my dream 'til there's enough cream to start my own union
And show these kids how legit it is
Shit is real, I used to steal but now I own several businesses
So where's your witness that you claim to have, sayin' that I'm takin half
Extortin' New York and not payin' tax?
I'm laid back, playin the role, layin the low
But it's the same ol' Joe so don't get K.O.d
Hey yo I'm gonna fry for what I never did
Or catch a heavy bid, why don't they just let a nigga live?
Why do I end up in so much shit?
I done came way too far to be callin' it quits
Jake wanna lock me up, even though I'm legit
They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thick
Why do I end up in so much shit?
I done came way too far to be callin' it quits
Jake wanna lock me up, even though I'm legit
They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thick
What would you do..
If a vicious enemy suddenly started coming at you
Armed to the teeth, and ready to kill you?
I drive up and down Harlem blocks
Je conduis de haut en bas des blocs de Harlem
Iced out watch Knots in my socks
Montre glacée, nœuds dans mes chaussettes
Cops think I'm selling rocks
Les flics pensent que je vends des pierres
Pulling me over to see if I'm drunk But I'm sober
Ils me tirent dessus pour voir si je suis ivre mais je suis sobre
They wouldn't fuck with me if I drove a Nova
Ils ne me feraient pas chier si je conduisais une Nova
Listen Columbo you're mad because your money come slow
Écoute Columbo, tu es énervé parce que ton argent arrive lentement
And what you make in a year I make in one show
Et ce que tu gagnes en un an, je le gagne en un spectacle
Now you wanna frisk me and search my ride
Maintenant tu veux me fouiller et fouiller ma voiture
Call me all kinda names try to hurt my pride
M'appeler toutes sortes de noms pour essayer de blesser ma fierté
You're just mad cause I'm a young cat, pockets dumb fat
Tu es juste énervé parce que je suis un jeune chat, les poches bien grasses
Talkin' bout: Where the gun at?
Parlant de : Où est le flingue ?
I been there and done that
J'y suis allé et j'ai fait ça
I'm through with that illegal life, I'm stayin legit
J'en ai fini avec cette vie illégale, je reste légitime
I love to see cars come cruisin' bye and playin' my shit
J'adore voir les voitures passer en jouant ma musique
I walk around with six thou' without a pist-ol, my whole cliques wild
Je me promène avec six mille sans pistolet, toute ma bande est sauvage
I'm rich pal, no more sticks I'm makin hits now
Je suis riche, plus de bâtons, je fais des hits maintenant
I drink Cristal, I'm through breakin' laws
Je bois du Cristal, j'en ai fini avec les lois
I don't sell coke anymore, I do tours
Je ne vends plus de coke, je fais des tournées
So get that flashlight out of my face
Alors sortez cette lampe de poche de mon visage
To bring me down them Jakes'll do whatever it takes
Pour me descendre, ces flics feront tout ce qu'il faut
Word up them federals got my phone and my house tapped
Ces fédéraux ont mis mon téléphone et ma maison sur écoute
Praying that I fall for the mouse trap, I doubt that
Priant pour que je tombe dans le piège à souris, j'en doute
Why do I end up in so much shit?
Pourquoi je finis toujours dans tant de merde ?
I done came way too far to be callin' it quits
J'ai parcouru un long chemin pour abandonner
Jake wanna lock me up, even though I'm legit
Jake veut m'enfermer, même si je suis légitime
They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thick
Ils ne supportent pas de voir les poches d'un jeune frère s'épaissir
Aiyyo enough's enough, federals try to set me up
Aiyyo assez c'est assez, les fédéraux essaient de me piéger
Put me in cuffs and crush what I lust into dust
Me mettre les menottes et écraser ce que je convoite en poussière
Plus, they want a nigga soul, but they know
De plus, ils veulent l'âme d'un nègre, mais ils savent
Big Joey Crack'll never rat a cat that he know
Big Joey Crack ne dénoncera jamais un chat qu'il connaît
Fo' sho', death before dishonor; I left the streets alone
C'est sûr, la mort avant le déshonneur ; j'ai quitté les rues
Since Tone deceased it almost killed his mama
Depuis que Tone est décédé, ça a presque tué sa mère
So I'mma keep doin what I'm doin
Alors je vais continuer à faire ce que je fais
Pursuin' my dream 'til there's enough cream to start my own union
Poursuivre mon rêve jusqu'à ce qu'il y ait assez de crème pour créer mon propre syndicat
And show these kids how legit it is
Et montrer à ces enfants à quel point c'est légitime
Shit is real, I used to steal but now I own several businesses
La merde est réelle, j'avais l'habitude de voler mais maintenant je possède plusieurs entreprises
So where's your witness that you claim to have, sayin' that I'm takin half
Alors où est ton témoin que tu prétends avoir, disant que je prends la moitié
Extortin' New York and not payin' tax?
Extorquant New York et ne payant pas d'impôts ?
I'm laid back, playin the role, layin the low
Je suis détendu, jouant le rôle, restant discret
But it's the same ol' Joe so don't get K.O.d
Mais c'est le même vieux Joe alors ne te fais pas K.O.
Hey yo I'm gonna fry for what I never did
Hey yo je vais frire pour ce que je n'ai jamais fait
Or catch a heavy bid, why don't they just let a nigga live?
Ou attraper une lourde peine, pourquoi ne laissent-ils pas un nègre vivre ?
Why do I end up in so much shit?
Pourquoi je finis toujours dans tant de merde ?
I done came way too far to be callin' it quits
J'ai parcouru un long chemin pour abandonner
Jake wanna lock me up, even though I'm legit
Jake veut m'enfermer, même si je suis légitime
They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thick

Armed to the teeth, and ready to kill you?
Armé jusqu'aux dents, et prêt à te tuer ?
I drive up and down Harlem blocks
Eu dirijo para cima e para baixo nos quarteirões de Harlem
Iced out watch Knots in my socks
Relógio cheio de gelo, nós nas minhas meias
Cops think I'm selling rocks
Policiais pensam que estou vendendo pedras
Pulling me over to see if I'm drunk But I'm sober
Me parando para ver se estou bêbado, mas estou sóbrio
They wouldn't fuck with me if I drove a Nova
Eles não se meteriam comigo se eu dirigisse um Nova
Listen Columbo you're mad because your money come slow
Escute Columbo, você está chateado porque seu dinheiro vem devagar
And what you make in a year I make in one show

Now you wanna frisk me and search my ride
Agora você quer me revistar e vasculhar meu carro
Call me all kinda names try to hurt my pride
Me chamar de todo tipo de nomes tentando ferir meu orgulho
You're just mad cause I'm a young cat, pockets dumb fat
Você está apenas chateado porque sou um jovem, bolsos bem cheios

Eu bebo Cristal, terminei de quebrar leis
I don't sell coke anymore, I do tours
Eu não vendo cocaína mais, eu faço turnês
So get that flashlight out of my face
Então tire essa lanterna do meu rosto
To bring me down them Jakes'll do whatever it takes
Para me derrubar, esses policiais farão o que for preciso
Word up them federals got my phone and my house tapped
Palavra, esses federais grampearam meu telefone e minha casa
Praying that I fall for the mouse trap, I doubt that
Orando para que eu caia na armadilha do rato, duvido disso
Why do I end up in so much shit?
Por que eu acabo em tanta merda?
I done came way too far to be callin' it quits
Eu vim muito longe para desistir agora
Jake wanna lock me up, even though I'm legit
Jake quer me prender, mesmo eu sendo legítimo
They can't stand to see a young brother pockets get thick
Eles não suportam ver o bolso de um jovem irmão engordar
Aiyyo enough's enough, federals try to set me up
Aiyyo chega é chega, federais tentam me armar
Put me in cuffs and crush what I lust into dust
Me colocar em algemas e esmagar o que eu desejo em pó
Plus, they want a nigga soul, but they know
Além disso, eles querem a alma de um negro, mas eles sabem
Big Joey Crack'll never rat a cat that he know
Big Joey Crack nunca deduraria um gato que ele conhece
Fo' sho', death before dishonor; I left the streets alone

And show these kids how legit it is
E mostrar a essas crianças como é legítimo
Shit is real, I used to steal but now I own several businesses

Então, onde está sua testemunha que você afirma ter, dizendo que estou pegando metade
Extortin' New York and not payin' tax?
Extorquindo Nova York e não pagando impostos?

Estou relaxado, desempenhando o papel, mantendo o perfil baixo
But it's the same ol' Joe so don't get K.O.d
