Any Man In America by Blue October
Lyrics & Translation
English
I only note spending time away
I only note the truth is spoken
Best when brutally so honestly.
I'll let you know you set
The standards lyrically for me
One single middle finger
Say raise it up
My speech will always be free
Like Martin Luther King
You had meaning to me
Single-handedly saving music starving industry
A hip hop legend with skin like invisible ink
Black even though he was whiter than me
He was the first to be colorless
Speaking for all of us
Then you let us into your family
Mother father brother sister wife daughter
Damn right in front of me
That's when I miss my daughter desperately
Your mocking bird puts dents in me
While touring press and reliving my song hate me
I was losing custody
I never even saw that shit.
How she played me
And planned and sought it fit
To turn that trick and financially she would benefit
My first and probably only billboard hit
Was gonna pay for my two year old's college
I should have hid that shit
So she couldn't spend that shit
It took twenty years of working
Just to earn that shit
Now word for word I've listened,
Heard and I'm done.
Done.
[Chorus]
Like you don't know.
You act like you believe it.
That you're in control.
It's just your legal system though
They don't think about you
No they don't care about you.
Now every man in America take back your control
Like you don't know.
You act like you believe it.
That you're in control.
It's just your legal system though
They don't think about it
No, they don't care about it
Now every man in America take back your control.
So I kept my business quiet
Just like my lawyer said.
And I tried to focus all
My anger in my work instead.
I was succeeding at self reliant
But inside my soul is dead.
I had to be the sole provider
But not allowed to be the dad.
Literally they took her from me.
Legally they did! They did!
But I'm not a fucking book
So fuck your book in Lincoln I said
Fuck the judge. Fuck that county
Fuck your family too.
Yeah fuck everybody that took my baby girl, Blue
I'm way too strong
I work my ass off all day long.
And I'm gone for months at a time
And you keep sitting there and lying
Bitching "Come back home"
I hate you, hate you god.
And then you came back home
And filed for another fucking divorce.
I'm sick of crying I'm sick of you instead
I'm not sick, or stuck in my head.
Any other man in American can get screwed just like me.
[Chorus]
You won't understand, probably never will.
Listen slowly I'll let you know the deal
Lying ass play the judge with your crying ass
You had your nose wide open when you saw the cash.
Grimy bitch growing tired of you trying shit.
Women run the courts, men provide the chips.
Well eat up bitch until you had enough bitch.
But take my kids; you can kiss both my nuts bitch.
Telling lies cause daddy's always on the road.
But you the one fucking like a groupie at a show.
Money hungry so you try to take my youngest from me.
You a dummy honey I'll chase you across the country.
Bring the drama to you mama and you mama's mama
Cause we all know you chasing after commas.
Couple checks few houses and Gucci blouses
You changing dicks like you changing outfits.
Constitution now a day's got the daddies losing.
Lot of fathers getting fucked like prostitution
[Chorus 3x]

Any Man In America (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Solo noto que paso el tiempo lejos
Solo noto que se dice la verdad
Mejor cuando es brutalmente honesto.
Te haré saber que estableciste
Los estándares líricos para mí
Un solo dedo medio
Di que lo levantes
Mi discurso siempre será libre
Como Martin Luther King
Tuviste un significado para mí
Salvando sin ayuda la industria musical hambrienta
Una leyenda del hip hop con piel como tinta invisible
Negro aunque era más blanco que yo
Fue el primero en ser incoloro
Hablando por todos nosotros
Luego nos dejaste entrar en tu familia
Madre padre hermano hermana esposa hija
Maldita sea, justo delante de mí
Ahí es cuando extraño desesperadamente a mi hija
Tu sinsonte me hace mella
Mientras la prensa de gira y reviviendo mi canción me odian
Estaba perdiendo la custodia
Nunca vi esa mierda.
Cómo me manipuló
Y planeó y consideró oportuno
Hacer esa jugada y beneficiarse económicamente
Mi primer y probablemente único éxito en Billboard
Iba a pagar la universidad de mi hija de dos años
Debería haber escondido esa mierda
Para que no pudiera gastar esa mierda
Tomó veinte años de trabajo
Solo para ganar esa mierda
Ahora palabra por palabra he escuchado,
Oído y he terminado.
Terminado.
[Estribillo]
Como si no supieras.
Actúas como si lo creyeras.
Que tienes el control.
Aunque es solo tu sistema legal
Ellos no piensan en ti
No, no les importas.
Ahora cada hombre en América retoma tu control
Como si no supieras.
Actúas como si lo creyeras.
Que tienes el control.
Aunque es solo tu sistema legal
Ellos no piensan en ello
No, no les importa
Ahora cada hombre en América retoma tu control.
Así que mantuve mi asunto en silencio
Justo como dijo mi abogado.
Y traté de concentrar todo
Mi ira en mi trabajo en su lugar.
Estaba teniendo éxito siendo autosuficiente
Pero por dentro mi alma está muerta.
Tenía que ser el único proveedor
Pero no se me permitía ser el papá.
Literalmente me la quitaron.
¡Legalmente lo hicieron! ¡Lo hicieron!
Pero no soy un puto libro
Así que a la mierda tu libro en Lincoln, dije
A la mierda el juez. A la mierda ese condado
A la mierda tu familia también.
Sí, a la mierda todos los que se llevaron a mi niña, Blue
Soy demasiado fuerte
Me mato a trabajar todo el día.
Y me voy por meses
Y sigues sentada ahí mintiendo
Quejándote "Vuelve a casa"
Te odio, te odio Dios.
Y luego volviste a casa
Y solicitaste otro puto divorcio.
Estoy harto de llorar, estoy harto de ti en su lugar
No estoy enfermo, ni atrapado en mi cabeza.
Cualquier otro hombre en América puede ser jodido como yo.
[Estribillo]
No entenderás, probablemente nunca lo harás.
Escucha despacio, te diré el trato
Mentirosa, haz de juez con tu culo llorón
Tenías la nariz bien abierta cuando viste el dinero.
Perra sucia, me estoy cansando de que intentes mierdas.
Las mujeres manejan los tribunales, los hombres proveen las fichas.
Pues come, perra, hasta que te hartes, perra.
Pero llévate a mis hijos; puedes besarme los dos huevos, perra.
Diciendo mentiras porque papá siempre está de viaje.
Pero tú eres la que folla como una groupie en un concierto.
Hambrienta de dinero, así que intentas quitarme a mi hija menor.
Eres una tonta, cariño, te perseguiré por todo el país.
Lleva el drama a tu mamá y a la mamá de tu mamá
Porque todos sabemos que persigues los ceros.
Un par de cheques, unas casas y blusas Gucci
Cambias de pollas como cambias de atuendos.
La Constitución hoy en día hace que los papás pierdan.
Muchos padres son jodidos como prostitución
[Estribillo 3x]
