Testo Freedom - Bugzy Malone
Testo della canzone Freedom (Bugzy Malone), tratta dall'album Make It Maintain It, Pt. 1
Ay
And I keep telling them to get rich quick
You really have to get rich quick
Uh
Look, yo
And why do you think that they keep calling it the trap?
Once they've got you in the game, they know that there's no looking back
You can call it what you want, but me, I call it an attack
We have to see our mothers cry while they emasculate our dads
And it's a systematic breakdown, they want you on your back
But while you're running 'round that playground, staring at the map
You can't see you've become a slave now 'cause they kept you on trap
Manipulated, you won't notice 'til you're on your final lap
It's either war out on the streets, or they send you to a rat
Nobody ever wins the war, and everybody ends up sad
One of them's about the Benjamins, the other's to be strapped
From the fact that we lose soldiers, we're never getting back
And it all starts at the foundation, it's tough without wealth
Growing up with a family that suffer with mental health
We get neglected and abandoned, and there's nobody to tell
To disguise the way we feel, we wear black 'cause that's stealth
So many triple Black killings, the tripping won't help
All these murders on the streets have left a real bad smell
They tell us money buys freedom, then stack it on the shelf
Who do you think it is that dictates what does and doesn't sell?
There's a code in the neighbourhood the soldiers don't tell
And if it hurts, then you suck it up 'cause crying won't help
It's too complex to deconstruct the pain
Even with your poker face, there's no hiding all the cards you've been dealt
You have to get rich quick
You really have to get rich quick
And I mean start today, there's no time to waste
The system is a game, you have to learn to play
And I keep telling them to get rich quick
You really have to get rich quick
'Cause then you can be free and freedom is a must
And you can start from scratch and build up from the mud, uh
I swear I had to tell them, you know
You get me? The Make It Maintain It album
I'm talking about the system, the people that made the system
Their principles are a bad joke
That's why the rich get richer and the poor die broke
You get me? So this one's a tutorial on how to build and climb up
You must be strong as an individual, check this
Look, I don't want wealth unless it's generational
Fuck the don, that's not a friend, that's an acquaintance
There's no loving in the slum
Start off with the best intention, then they beat you like a drum
End up looking in the mirror wondering who you've become
And it's like anyone can get it, it's not personal
In school, you get a map, but when you try and find your terminal
You see there's nothing there, and what they've taught you's irreversible
And then you feel scared because the time is non-returnable
You're not supposed to fly, they want you sitting in the waiting room
You think there's no corruption and everybody's straight with you?
You really trust the government and all the things they say they do?
So many ways to take a life, the system will detain a fool
They take your body, your mind, the family you leave behind
That's not love, what you talking 'bout? That's mass genocide
What's a life with no purpose stuck in a nine-to-five?
When it's time, you leave your kids with pennies when you die
No chance, furthermore, fuck a bromance
Let the boys chill and gossip, I'm a grown man
How do you climb out of a crowded bucket without no plan?
Me, I play the long game, I stuck to the programme
I'm a made man, but I was a believer first
Turned my peril into power, someone had to break the curse
From a passion to an empire, that's the way it works
If you're asking my advice on how to escape the dirt
Then you have to get (get), rich (rich), quick (quick)
You really have to get (get), rich (rich), quick (quick)
And I mean start today, there's no time to waste
The system is a game, you have to learn to play
And I keep telling them to get (get), rich (rich,) quick (quick)
You really have to get (get), rich (rich) quick (quick)
'Cause then you can be free, and freedom is a must
And you can start from scratch and build up from the mud, uh
Yeah, yeah
Get rich quick
Get rich quick
