Testo Crime & Medicine - Mos Def
Testo della canzone Crime & Medicine (Mos Def), tratta dall'album TRUE MAGIC (Explicit Version)
It was so beautiful, it was almost unfair
It was cold but it's true
It was so cold it got warm
The kids was out in the schoolyards and playin'
It was nice and calm, and it was dangerous
When the MC's came to rip out the name
And to perform some act
It's not cocaine that act the same
Before they marked it on
Now on to the mental pains, fuck the pain
Build it to be bought
Black niggas on the track
Strange times
Everybody got to get high (Oh my)
To get right, to get nice, to get by (Oh my)
To get open, get ready, get primed
The national pastime is victimless crime
You want your thrill, now I want mine
As long as we can get it, we ain't got to say why
I don't need to pry, you ain't got to lie
We ain't got to speak when it's written in the eyes
Whenever she was by, felt the sparkle in her palms
Yeah, the young girl's smile and a hustler's charm
And I am from the city where the hustlers are born
Made, traced, murdered, replaced
Lifelong residents barely feel safe
And the streets offer plenty taste and little fate (Break it down)
Little face, soft lips, little waist (Break it more)
Tiny hands (Oh God), fat ass (Oh no)
Big eyes like birthday surprise
Super-duper fly, born in '85
Repeat it to yourself, this is a victimless crime
Psychic mind, there's a victim every time
Your tasty little pill (Uh), your freaky little thrill (Uh-huh)
Pray won't leave you still (Uh), you wonder how it feels
It's real, pussy like some money that you steal
Ill
When the MC came to rip out the name
And to perform some act
It's not cocaine that act the same
Before they marked it on
Now on to the mental pains, fuck the pain
Build it to be bought
Ghetto people on the floor
Violent medicine
Dead wrong and live in America
Off the block and right in your area
Fresh apples and peaches for the President
Ha-ha, violent medicine
Dead wrong and live in your area
From the street corner right in your residence
Fresh peaches and apples for the President
Fresh peaches and apples for the President
Fresh chocolates and apples for the President
Fresh linens and apples for the President
