Testo Una Palabra - Outlandish
Testo della canzone Una Palabra (Outlandish), tratta dall'album Closer Than Veins
This ain't a story 'bout race, color or creed
It's a story 'bout hate, envy and greed
Talk about ambitions, but don't want us to progress
You talk about assistance, but all we get is distress
You don't really wanna see me grow
Hatin' on me, chokin' on my flow
You say we rude, don't like our attitude
We cruel, ain't got no gratitude
I wasn't born to be low, see I was born to rise
Wasn't born to pretend, I keep my faith in disguise
Ain't got no freedom of speech or freedom to teach
Makin' kids out of reach, wanna break ties
Ignited in our own land
But it's rising to the streets day by day
Gettin' out of hand
You don't want me to be an inspiration
You wanna blame me for agitation
How can you tell me 'bout participation
When all you really want is segregation?
Una palabra no dice nada
Y al mismo tiempo lo esconde todo
Como aquel viento que esconde el agua
Como las flores que esconde el lodo
Yeah, is it my religion you keep seein' as a threat?
You think it's all about murder, violence and death?
But do you care to find, find the truth?
Or is it easier to keep frontin' and oppress the youth?
Is this why I'ma be awestruck? Damn these lies
Just make us stuck, bow down to somethin' greater
Nah, forget that, maybe later, really must be jokin'
Deceits and lies is all I see
Should I be your enemy or should I trust your lies?
Should your treatment of my peeps make us forge new ties?
Gotta tell me the truth as it is
Or we be keepin' comin' back right here to this
Second class citizen, in my own home
Been thirty years gone, still no dome
Still gotta stay strong, thinkin' I'm thick
Tryna sell me this hypocrisy
Heard it before, you must be kiddin' me
Wanted to tell you who I marry
And even what my sister should wear
Then prevent her from a job, stuck on welfare
Seems to provoke an oppressed is okay
Seems racism is cool despite what you say
Wanna blame us for your shortcomings, just want a scapegoat
Still seein' us like a problem, we just off the boat
Guess you wanted cheap labor to build your home
Una palabra no dice nada
Y al mismo tiempo lo esconde todo
Como aquel viento que esconde el agua
Como las flores que esconde el lodo
Una mirada no dice nada
Y al mismo tiempo lo dice todo
Como la lluvia sobre tu cara
Y el viejo mapa dando de solos
Yo, yeah, where the next Abu Dharr at?
Where the next Khalid ibn Walid, a.k.a. Sayfulloh at?
Tell us how we fuel this crime
Everyday statistics, everyday media, plenty of us doin' time
Why should I take the blame or shame
When I know you just lookin' for someone to frame?
My individual freedom abused, ridiculin' my deen
My beliefs, guess I'll be the new Jew
I've become the new nigga of the world
Product of your society, adopted your values in their entirety
Wasn't born like this, I was made this way
You like it or not, player, I'm here to stay
We walk the same streets, breathe the same air
Add to the state, but do you even care?
Guess you gotta reciprocate
Want us to be people of faith or people of hate?
You got yours, I got mine, okay?
