Free
Daniel Anthony Farris
What if I used to be a president in a past life?
With a match and a pipe
And a top hat in the back of ride
In a chariot, chasin' Harriet through the night
I barely get sleep, my karma owe me much drama
Men are sheep, I sold three last summer
A black back ain't exact until it got stripes
Beat that boy 'til he collapse
Tease that boy, make him fight his brother
Make him hate his mama, make him blame his father, you
Follow the rules and they always gon' do what they do
Never revolt, never rebel, Willie Lynch taught us just how to sell
White lies to these black lives, and if you train 'em, then they act right
But whatever you do
Free like my energy (don't ask why)
Free like my enemies
Free like the soul of my homies
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free
Yes, I'm free
I am free like my paradigm
Shifting my state of mind
Listen to my creator
Make sure that I stay aligned
Yes, I'm free
¿Quihúbole, carnal? (my brother)
Me pueden poner en cadenas (they can put me in chains)
Me pueden encarcelar (they can lock me up)
Pero no me pueden atrapar la mente (but they can't trap my mind)
Lamentablemente han tratado de hacer esclavos de mi gente (they tried to make slaves of my people)
Pero del corazón hay un fuente (but from our heart runs a fountain)
Corriente (flowing)
Siguiente (continuing)
Sí se puede (yes, I can)
Si Dios quiere (god willing)
Vamos
What if I was to leave some evidence?
Like a crack pipe or the shell of a nine
Milli' or a philly with plenty of my saliva
'Cause I hit the blunt one too many times
Blood, we can hit 'em up
They got four, five racks in the safe
And they don't come back 'til it's late
Plus I got another three in the mattress by the atlas
Put us on the map with the cake, yeah
At least that's what we thought
No, not me, nigga, we get caught? Yeah right
Then peeking out the window, a nigga see them red and blue lights, oh shit
Bro, we gotta go, nigga, no shit
Hit the back road, clear the whole fence
But in the process
A nigga dropped the whole four-fifth
And they circled the block
Free like my energy (I got caught)
Free like my enemies
Free like the soul of my homies
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free (Plus that canine tore out half my calf)
Yes, I'm free (I don't know how to do this time, I guess I better ask my dad, so pass my past)
I am free like my paradigm
Shifting my state of mind
Listen to my creator
Make sure that I stay aligned
Yes, I'm free
Ay
What if I was to need some medicine for my lymph nodes?
I'm a pimp with these hoes
My bitch gave me kiss and my neck was swole
I was in the studio next to Smoke
And the big homie BJ said, "Boy, get that checked out"
Guillotine flow, don't stick your neck out
Nigga, I'm chis', I spit that best out
But I ain't tryna be stretched out
So I went up to Kaiser, my surprise was the diagnosis
What? Cancer? I'm twenty-two plus when I spit, I'm dope as shit
I went through that chemo and radiation
Stem cell transplant, the patients
Next to me in they eighties
I'm just a baby
Free like my energy (but now my soul is free)
Free like my enemies
Free like the soul of my homies
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free
Yes, I'm free
I am free like my paradigm
Shifting my state of mind
Listen to my creator
Make sure that I stay aligned
Yes, I'm free
God is so good, so good, so good
God is so good, so good to me
God is so good, so good, so good
God is so good, he's so good to me
What if I used to be a president in a past life?
Et si j'étais président dans une vie antérieure ?
With a match and a pipe
Avec une allumette et une pipe
And a top hat in the back of ride
Et un haut-de-forme à l'arrière de la voiture
In a chariot, chasin' Harriet through the night
Dans un char, poursuivant Harriet à travers la nuit
I barely get sleep, my karma owe me much drama
Je dors à peine, mon karma me doit beaucoup de drames
Men are sheep, I sold three last summer
Les hommes sont des moutons, j'en ai vendu trois l'été dernier
A black back ain't exact until it got stripes
Un dos noir n'est pas exact jusqu'à ce qu'il ait des rayures
Beat that boy 'til he collapse
Bats ce garçon jusqu'à ce qu'il s'effondre
Tease that boy, make him fight his brother
Taquine ce garçon, fais-le se battre avec son frère
Make him hate his mama, make him blame his father, you
Fais-le détester sa mère, fais-le blâmer son père, toi
Follow the rules and they always gon' do what they do
Suis les règles et ils feront toujours ce qu'ils font
Never revolt, never rebel, Willie Lynch taught us just how to sell
Ne te révolte jamais, ne te rebelle jamais, Willie Lynch nous a appris comment vendre
White lies to these black lives, and if you train 'em, then they act right
Des mensonges blancs à ces vies noires, et si tu les dresses, alors ils agissent bien
But whatever you do
Mais quoi que tu fasses
Free like my energy (don't ask why)
Libre comme mon énergie (ne demande pas pourquoi)
Free like my enemies
Libre comme mes ennemis
Free like the soul of my homies
Libre comme l'âme de mes amis
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free
Libre comme un pécheur, oui, je suis libre
Yes, I'm free
Oui, je suis libre
I am free like my paradigm
Je suis libre comme mon paradigme
Shifting my state of mind
Changeant mon état d'esprit

Mais ils ne peuvent pas piéger mon esprit (mais ils ne peuvent pas piéger mon esprit)
Lamentablemente han tratado de hacer esclavos de mi gente (they tried to make slaves of my people)
Malheureusement, ils ont essayé de faire des esclaves de mon peuple (ils ont essayé de faire des esclaves de mon peuple)

Et si je laissais des preuves ?
Like a crack pipe or the shell of a nine

Milli' or a philly with plenty of my saliva
Milli' ou un philly avec plein de ma salive
'Cause I hit the blunt one too many times
Parce que j'ai tiré sur le joint une fois de trop
Blood, we can hit 'em up
Sang, on peut les frapper
They got four, five racks in the safe
Ils ont quatre, cinq racks dans le coffre
And they don't come back 'til it's late
Et ils ne reviennent pas avant qu'il soit tard
Plus I got another three in the mattress by the atlas
De plus, j'en ai trois autres dans le matelas près de l'atlas
Put us on the map with the cake, yeah
Mets-nous sur la carte avec le gâteau, ouais
At least that's what we thought
C'est ce qu'on pensait
No, not me, nigga, we get caught? Yeah right
Non, pas moi, mec, on se fait prendre ? Ouais, bien sûr
Then peeking out the window, a nigga see them red and blue lights, oh shit
Puis en regardant par la fenêtre, un mec voit ces lumières rouges et bleues, oh merde
Bro, we gotta go, nigga, no shit
Frère, on doit y aller, mec, pas de merde
Hit the back road, clear the whole fence
Prends la route de derrière, franchis toute la clôture
But in the process
Mais dans le processus
A nigga dropped the whole four-fifth
Un mec a laissé tomber tout le quatre-cinquième
And they circled the block
Et ils ont fait le tour du pâté de maisons
Free like my energy (I got caught)
Libre comme mon énergie (j'ai été pris)
Free like my enemies
Libre comme mes ennemis
Free like the soul of my homies
Libre comme l'âme de mes amis
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free (Plus that canine tore out half my calf)

Je suis un maquereau avec ces putes
My bitch gave me kiss and my neck was swole
Ma chienne m'a donné un baiser et mon cou était gonflé
I was in the studio next to Smoke
J'étais en studio à côté de Smoke
And the big homie BJ said, "Boy, get that checked out"
Et le grand frère BJ a dit : "Mec, fais-toi examiner ça"
Guillotine flow, don't stick your neck out
Flux de guillotine, ne tends pas le cou
Nigga, I'm chis', I spit that best out
Mec, je suis chis', je crache le meilleur
But I ain't tryna be stretched out

So I went up to Kaiser, my surprise was the diagnosis
Alors je suis allé à Kaiser, ma surprise était le diagnostic
What? Cancer? I'm twenty-two plus when I spit, I'm dope as shit

What if I used to be a president in a past life?
E se eu fosse um presidente em uma vida passada?
With a match and a pipe
Com um fósforo e um cachimbo
And a top hat in the back of ride
E um chapéu-coco no banco de trás
In a chariot, chasin' Harriet through the night
Em uma carruagem, perseguindo Harriet pela noite
I barely get sleep, my karma owe me much drama
Eu mal consigo dormir, meu karma me deve muito drama
Men are sheep, I sold three last summer
Os homens são como ovelhas, vendi três no verão passado
A black back ain't exact until it got stripes
Um casaco preto não é exato até que tenha listras
Beat that boy 'til he collapse
Bata nesse garoto até ele cair
Tease that boy, make him fight his brother
Provoque esse garoto, faça-o lutar contra o irmão
Make him hate his mama, make him blame his father, you
Faça-o odiar sua mãe, faça-o culpar seu pai, você
Follow the rules and they always gon' do what they do

Never revolt, never rebel, Willie Lynch taught us just how to sell
Nunca se revoltam, nunca se rebelam, Willie Lynch nos ensinou como vender

Milli' or a philly with plenty of my saliva
Ou um cigarro de Filadélfia com bastante da minha saliva
'Cause I hit the blunt one too many times
Porque dei muitas tragadas na erva
Blood, we can hit 'em up
Sangue, podemos atacá-los
They got four, five racks in the safe
Eles têm quatro, cinco mil em cofre

Plus I got another three in the mattress by the atlas
Além disso, tenho mais três no colchão, perto do atlas
Put us on the map with the cake, yeah
Nos colocamos no mapa com o dinheiro, yeah
At least that's what we thought
Pelo menos era o que pensávamos
No, not me, nigga, we get caught? Yeah right
Não, não eu, mano, seremos pegos? Yeah, certo
Then peeking out the window, a nigga see them red and blue lights, oh shit
Então olhando pela janela, um cara vê as luzes vermelhas e azuis, oh merda
Bro, we gotta go, nigga, no shit
Cara, temos que sair, não tem jeito
Hit the back road, clear the whole fence
Pegue a estrada de trás, pule a cerca inteira
But in the process
Mas no processo
A nigga dropped the whole four-fifth
Um cara deixou cair a nove milímetros inteira
And they circled the block

Minha garota me deu um beijo e meu pescoço estava inchado

Lamentablemente han tratado de hacer esclavos de mi gente (they tried to make slaves of my people)
Leider haben sie versucht, Sklaven aus meinem Volk zu machen (sie haben versucht, Sklaven aus meinem Volk zu machen)
Pero del corazón hay un fuente (but from our heart runs a fountain)

Fortsetzend (fortsetzend)

Los geht's
What if I was to leave some evidence?
Was wäre, wenn ich einige Beweise hinterlassen würde?
Like a crack pipe or the shell of a nine
Wie eine Crack-Pfeife oder die Hülle einer Neun
Milli' or a philly with plenty of my saliva
Milli' oder ein Philly mit viel von meinem Speichel
'Cause I hit the blunt one too many times
Denn ich habe den Joint ein paar Mal zu oft geraucht
Blood, we can hit 'em up
Blut, wir können sie treffen
They got four, five racks in the safe
Sie haben vier, fünf Racks im Safe
And they don't come back 'til it's late
Und sie kommen nicht zurück, bis es spät ist
Plus I got another three in the mattress by the atlas
Außerdem habe ich noch drei in der Matratze beim Atlas
Put us on the map with the cake, yeah
Setze uns mit dem Kuchen auf die Karte, ja
At least that's what we thought
Zumindest dachten wir das
No, not me, nigga, we get caught? Yeah right
Nein, nicht ich, Nigga, wir werden erwischt? Ja klar
Then peeking out the window, a nigga see them red and blue lights, oh shit
Dann schaue ich aus dem Fenster, ein Nigga sieht diese roten und blauen Lichter, oh Scheiße
Bro, we gotta go, nigga, no shit
Bruder, wir müssen gehen, Nigga, keine Scheiße
Hit the back road, clear the whole fence
Nimm die Hinterstraße, räume den ganzen Zaun
But in the process
Aber im Prozess
A nigga dropped the whole four-fifth
Ein Nigga ließ die ganze Vier-Fünftel fallen
And they circled the block
Und sie umkreisten den Block
Free like my energy (I got caught)
Frei wie meine Energie (ich wurde erwischt)
Free like my enemies
Frei wie meine Feinde
Free like the soul of my homies
Frei wie die Seele meiner Homies
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free (Plus that canine tore out half my calf)
Frei wie ein Sünder, ja, ich bin frei (Außerdem hat dieser Hund die Hälfte meiner Wade herausgerissen)
Yes, I'm free (I don't know how to do this time, I guess I better ask my dad, so pass my past)
Ja, ich bin frei (Ich weiß nicht, wie ich diese Zeit durchstehen soll, ich sollte wohl meinen Vater fragen, also gib mir meine Vergangenheit)
I am free like my paradigm
Ich bin frei wie mein Paradigma
Shifting my state of mind
Verändere meinen Geisteszustand
Listen to my creator
Höre auf meinen Schöpfer
Make sure that I stay aligned
Stelle sicher, dass ich ausgerichtet bleibe
Yes, I'm free
Ja, ich bin frei
Ay
Ay
What if I was to need some medicine for my lymph nodes?
Was wäre, wenn ich Medizin für meine Lymphknoten bräuchte?
I'm a pimp with these hoes
Ich bin ein Zuhälter mit diesen Huren
My bitch gave me kiss and my neck was swole
Meine Schlampe gab mir einen Kuss und mein Hals war geschwollen
I was in the studio next to Smoke
Ich war im Studio neben Smoke
And the big homie BJ said, "Boy, get that checked out"
Und der große Homie BJ sagte: „Junge, lass das untersuchen“
Guillotine flow, don't stick your neck out
Guillotine-Flow, strecke deinen Hals nicht aus
Nigga, I'm chis', I spit that best out
Nigga, ich bin Chis', ich spucke das Beste aus
But I ain't tryna be stretched out
Aber ich will nicht ausgebreitet sein
So I went up to Kaiser, my surprise was the diagnosis
Also ging ich zu Kaiser, meine Überraschung war die Diagnose
What? Cancer? I'm twenty-two plus when I spit, I'm dope as shit
Was? Krebs? Ich bin zweiundzwanzig plus, wenn ich spucke, bin ich dope as shit
I went through that chemo and radiation
Ich durchlief diese Chemo und Strahlung
Stem cell transplant, the patients
Stammzelltransplantation, die Patienten
Next to me in they eighties
Neben mir in ihren Achtzigern
I'm just a baby
Ich bin nur ein Baby
Free like my energy (but now my soul is free)
Frei wie meine Energie (aber jetzt ist meine Seele frei)
Free like my enemies
Frei wie meine Feinde
Free like the soul of my homies
Frei wie die Seele meiner Homies
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free
Frei wie ein Sünder, ja, ich bin frei
Yes, I'm free

What if I used to be a president in a past life?
E se fossi stato un presidente in una vita passata?
With a match and a pipe
Con un fiammifero e una pipa
And a top hat in the back of ride
E un cilindro nel retro del giro
In a chariot, chasin' Harriet through the night
In un carro, inseguendo Harriet nella notte
I barely get sleep, my karma owe me much drama
Dormo a malapena, il mio karma mi deve molto dramma
Men are sheep, I sold three last summer
Gli uomini sono pecore, ne ho vendute tre l'ultima estate
A black back ain't exact until it got stripes
Una schiena nera non è esatta finché non ha strisce
Beat that boy 'til he collapse
Picchia quel ragazzo finché non crolla
Tease that boy, make him fight his brother
Prendi in giro quel ragazzo, fagli combattere con suo fratello
Make him hate his mama, make him blame his father, you
Fagli odiare sua madre, fagli incolpare suo padre, tu
Follow the rules and they always gon' do what they do
Segui le regole e loro faranno sempre quello che fanno
Never revolt, never rebel, Willie Lynch taught us just how to sell
Mai rivoltarsi, mai ribellarsi, Willie Lynch ci ha insegnato come vendere
White lies to these black lives, and if you train 'em, then they act right
Bianche bugie a queste vite nere, e se li addestri, allora si comportano bene
But whatever you do
Ma qualunque cosa tu faccia
Free like my energy (don't ask why)
Libero come la mia energia (non chiedere perché)
Free like my enemies
Libero come i miei nemici
Free like the soul of my homies
Libero come l'anima dei miei amici
Free like a sinner, yes, I'm free
Libero come un peccatore, sì, sono libero
Yes, I'm free
Sì, sono libero
I am free like my paradigm
Sono libero come il mio paradigma
Shifting my state of mind
Cambiando il mio stato d'animo
Listen to my creator
Ascolto il mio creatore
Make sure that I stay aligned
Mi assicuro di rimanere allineato
Yes, I'm free
Sì, sono libero

Poi sbirciando dalla finestra, un nigga vede quelle luci rosse e blu, oh merda
Bro, we gotta go, nigga, no shit
Fratello, dobbiamo andare, nigga, non scherzo
Hit the back road, clear the whole fence
Prendi la strada dietro, salta tutta la recinzione
But in the process
Ma nel processo
A nigga dropped the whole four-fifth
Un nigga ha lasciato cadere tutto il quattro-cinque
And they circled the block
E hanno circondato il blocco
