Testo Tater Tot - Talib Kweli
Testo della canzone Tater Tot (Talib Kweli), tratta dall'album Gutter Rainbows
I'm just wondering what the heck is in our water supply
What the heck is in our oxygen supply
That creates a rainbow effect in a sprinkler
What is oozing out of our ground
That allows this type of effect to happen
Not just around our sun and our moon anymore
Everywhere we look, the visible spectrum is rainbows
This cannot be natural
We as a nation have got to ask ourselves
What the hell is going on?
What is oozing out of our ground?
The day that I enlisted was a result of a private visit
With Jesus Christ, it felt like I was lifted
Then I got injured and the hospital was like a prison
Fell out of touch with my faith, I was nihilistic
They call me cyclops 'cause I was blind in one eye
I'm out the army now, I'm tryna decide
How to properly fit in with civilians, I'm used to killin'
Got me feelin' all confused who the hero and who the villain
Hopped in my red Camal, shut down the street like lead in the bowel
Decked out in my leather and pal
I drove aimlessly for miles until I
Saw this country that want me to kill
I took a bullet for this motherfucker
A thousand miles later, finally made a stop, small town restaurant
Goddamn, the waitress hot, ordered tater tots, got her number
Later that night, we was at the bar takin' shots 'til we fell in love
I said, "Let's go to Las Vegas and do this
Knew this was the mate for my soul"
Drove all night, we was away from the cold
She wanna play the slots, nicknamed her tater tot 'cause of how we met
Cool, I need a shower, bet, found a motel on the strip
I'm checkin' in when out the blue some Mexicans came in the lobby
Like we 'bout to shoot some Asians that was runnin' down the hall
With their guns blazin', everybody pullin'
Out they shit like it's an invasion
The Mexicans let the Asians have it
The Asian cats fired back 'til they was out of bullets
And the blood splattered everywhere
Deal gone bad or somebody robbin', either way somebody's rottin'
All I hear is bodies droppin'
I jumped behind the front desk in the nick of time
The clip was on the floor, his blood made me slip and slide
But I'm the last man standin'
My reflexes made me grab a cannon out a dyin' man's hand
Then I noticed that a car was runnin'
Sack of guns on the floor, plus unmarked bills by the hundreds
The driver comin' at me gunnin'
Sirens blarin' in the distance 'cause the cops are comin'
I spun around and I hit the deck
Heard the bullets whiz by my ear, I let off, hit him in the chest
Quicker than the bullets left the chamber
I grabbed the sack off the floor, hit the door with the bangers
Lookin' for my lady at the casino, she was in the zone
I said, "We gotta go," she like, "Why?" and I'm like, "Come on"
No need to gamble, babe, we hit a lick
Put them chips down, we gotta go right now, this little shit
Now we speedin' down the I-15, first
Time I noticed that her eyes was green
Gave her a gun and a magazine, "Baby, count the loot"
But when she saw the score, she pointed
A gun at me, now she about to shoot
