The Black Eyed Peas - STREET LIVIN'

Текст песни: [Intro:] Streets, streets Livin' in the streets [Verse 1: will.i.am:] Street livin', caught in the trap Guns or books, sell crack or rap Be like kings or be like pawns They called us coons, now they call us cons Street n**gas be packing pistols Terrorists be blasting missiles Crips and Bloods and retail thugs CIA planes bring Colombian drugs in Don't push me 'cause I'm close to hell The teachers in my neighborhood can hardly spell And compare to them, prison guards get paid well Ten years no bail is 4 years at Yale So, forget about the statue of General Lee Because the status of blacks are generally Gonna end up in some penitentiary Systematically, that's how they made it to be Listen, they derailed the soul train And put a nightmare in every Martin Luther King And privatized prisons are owned by the same Slave masters that owned the slave trade game And racists no longer have to be racist 'Cause n**gas kill more n**gas Than the KKK did Now, every time I hear a new def jam N**gas killing n**gas like they Ku Klux Klan I understand what's a n**ga to choose?

The Black Eyed Peas – The Black Eyed Peas is a group unique in its way: it mixes funky black hip-hop with female r'n'b vocals - BEPs are devoid of the brutality of popular rappers and at the same time are not as corny as most r'n'b bands , although both of these principles are present in it. Hip-hop training from the founders of the group, rappers Will.i.am and Apl.de.ap, however, is quite serious: at the university they were part of the breakdance team Tribal Nation, they signed their first contract with the Ruthless Records label, which specializes in gangsta rap (however, due to the softness of the sound, the album was never released). The first album under the name The Black Eyed Peas was released on the Interscope label - then, in addition to Will.i.am and Apl.de.ap, MC Taboo was included in the group. Singer Kim Hill was responsible for vocals on the first two albums. The first BEP records featured musicians such as Macy Gray, Jurassic 5's Chali 2na, De La Soul and Mos Def, but they never had commercial success. – Блек айд пис

[Intro:]
Streets, streets
Livin' in the streets

[Verse 1: will.i.am:]
Street livin', caught in the trap
Guns or books, sell crack or rap
Be like kings or be like pawns
They called us coons, now they call us cons
Street n**gas be packing pistols
Terrorists be blasting missiles
Crips and Bloods and retail thugs
CIA planes bring Colombian drugs in
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to hell
The teachers in my neighborhood can hardly spell
And compare to them, prison guards get paid well
Ten years no bail is 4 years at Yale
So, forget about the statue of General Lee
Because the status of blacks are generally
Gonna end up in some penitentiary
Systematically, that's how they made it to be
Listen, they derailed the soul train
And put a nightmare in every Martin Luther King
And privatized prisons are owned by the same
Slave masters that owned the slave trade game
And racists no longer have to be racist
'Cause n**gas kill more n**gas
Than the KKK did
Now, every time I hear a new def jam
N**gas killing n**gas like they Ku Klux Klan
I understand what's a n**ga to choose?
Be the killer or be the dead dude in the news
I get it, what's a n**ga to do?
No education in the hood got a n**ga confused

[Verse 2: apl.de.ap:]
Street livin', tough conditions
Brainwashed by the television
We lost in the war we live in
Double cross love lost no religion
Street livin', oh my gosh
Another brother got shot by the searg'
Another cop got off with no charge
If you black in the hood, you at large
You're guilty until you prove you're innocent
If you're ivory, they treat you different
If you're ebony, they assume your temperament
Will be vigilant and they call you militant
And you'll get shot and they'll say the incident
Is 'cause you're belligerent, what a coincidence?
Born and bred but you're still an immigrant
And if you ain't dead, you can see imprisonment

[Chorus: will.i.am:]
There's more n**gas in the prisons than there ever was slaves cotton picking
There's more n**gas that's rotting in the prisons than there ever was slaves cotton picking
So, how we gon' get up out the trap?
Guns or books, sell crack or rap
Street livin', hustle or hoops
Guns or books, get shot or shoot

[Verse 3: Taboo:]
Street livin', ain't no rules
Break the law, make the breakin' news
The life you choose could be the life you lose
N**gas getting stuck for the Nike shoes
Street livin', ain't no joke
It's a cold world, better bring your coat
Revoke 'cause the streets are broke
And now they wanna take away our dreams and hopes
Street livin', no economics
No way out of the Reaganomics
Infected by the black plague, new bubonic
No comprende, we speak ebonics
Street livin', what's your position?
You can take action or take a dick and listen
You can get fucked by the system
Or you can say "fuck the system"
