GDP by Bob Vylan
Lyrics & Translation
English
Yeah, the BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
Fuck it, miss me with that mess
Coming for the belly when we run up in your address
Get caught sleeping, take the money from the mattress
Man know the roads, there's no need for atlas
Tryna take all that you own and leave you cashless
Cash rules everthing around me that matters
So the purse strings are tighter than Thatcher's
Desperate times, desperate measures
The news says we're in this together
But everybody I know seems to know better
Rob you for your diamonds when we feel pressure
It's all fun and games 'til someone goes broke
Break in your house, we heard you sold coke
Catch you late night and snatch a gold rope
While the news keeps saying keep calm and keep hope
Yeah, the BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
That means fuck all to me
Yeah, the BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
That means fuck all to me
Yeah, the BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
That means fuck all to me
Yeah, the BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
That means fuck all to me
I gotta eat
You know a brother's gotta eat, right?
You know a brother's gotta eat, yeah a brother's gotta eat
You know a brother's gotta eat, right?
You know a brother's gotta eat (Hoo)
I remember Frank laughed when I said I bought a stab-proof
Couple weeks later ops ran up and poked him
I was in the hospital sitting right beside him
But I'm too good of a friend to start gloating
Could have said, "I told you so because I told him"
All the ends want is their watchface frozen
A baddie named Elsa riding in the whip
With a shank on the hip and a necklace golden
And they'll be golden, yeah, right as rain
Quicker than the weather your whole life can change
This rat race might drive you insane
I seen friends rob friends for lines of cocaine
It's all fun and games 'til someone gets kidnapped
Man are really with that, I know a few that did that
Snub-nosed .38, don't care for your sixpack
Try rob the wrong one, they might push your wig back
Yeah, the BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
That means fuck all to me
Yeah, the BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
That means fuck all to me
Yeah, the BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
That means fuck all to me
Yeah, the BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
That means fuck all to me
I gotta eat
You know a brother's gotta eat, right?
You know a brother's gotta eat, yeah a brother's gotta eat
You know a brother's gotta eat, right?
You know a brother's gotta eat
Yeah, the BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
That means fuck all to me
Yeah, the BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
That means fuck all to me
Yeah, the BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
That means fuck all to me
Yeah, the BBC are talking 'bout the GDP
That means fuck all to me
I gotta eat
You know a brother's gotta eat
When he ask how I feel, I reply that I'm fed up
Some are drowning in money, I'm barely keeping my head up
Price of life on the rise, I'm feeling like it's a setup
'Cause nobody that I grew with seems to be getting a leg up
So we buy for five and sell it for ten
Re-up another ninebar, sell it again
The advert says that we need a brand new Benz
But to get it some man are killing family and friends
Yeah, chasing the dream, either make it or steal it
Seems like the choices are take it or deal it
No one need to be told there's hard times ahead
When it comes crashing down poor people gonna feel it
Let me make it clear, this wretched system isn't playing fair
I couldn't give a fuck if this country hates me here
They stole our people, displaced and placed us here
And the only joy I get is when I bait the bear (Hoo)

GDP (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Sí, la BBC está hablando del PIB
Que se joda, no me vengas con ese lío
Vamos por el estómago cuando entremos en tu dirección
Si te pillamos durmiendo, te quitamos el dinero del colchón
El hombre conoce las calles, no necesita atlas
Intentando quitarte todo lo que tienes y dejarte sin efectivo
El dinero rige todo lo que me importa
Así que los cordones de la bolsa están más apretados que los de Thatcher
Tiempos desesperados, medidas desesperadas
Las noticias dicen que estamos juntos en esto
Pero todos los que conozco parecen saberlo mejor
Te robamos tus diamantes cuando sentimos presión
Todo es diversión y juegos hasta que alguien se arruina
Entramos en tu casa, oímos que vendías coca
Te pillamos de noche y te arrebatamos una cadena de oro
Mientras las noticias siguen diciendo mantén la calma y la esperanza
Sí, la BBC está hablando del PIB
Eso no significa nada para mí
Sí, la BBC está hablando del PIB
Eso no significa nada para mí
Sí, la BBC está hablando del PIB
Eso no significa nada para mí
Sí, la BBC está hablando del PIB
Eso no significa nada para mí
Tengo que comer
Sabes que un hermano tiene que comer, ¿verdad?
Sabes que un hermano tiene que comer, sí, un hermano tiene que comer
Sabes que un hermano tiene que comer, ¿verdad?
Sabes que un hermano tiene que comer (Hoo)
Recuerdo que Frank se rió cuando dije que compré algo a prueba de puñaladas
Un par de semanas después, los enemigos se acercaron y lo apuñalaron
Yo estaba en el hospital sentado justo a su lado
Pero soy demasiado buen amigo para empezar a regodearme
Podría haber dicho: "Te lo dije porque se lo dije"
Todo lo que quieren los barrios es su reloj congelado
Una chica mala llamada Elsa conduciendo el coche
Con una navaja en la cadera y un collar de oro
Y estarán de oro, sí, perfectos
Más rápido que el clima, toda tu vida puede cambiar
Esta carrera de ratas podría volverte loco
He visto amigos robar a amigos por rayas de cocaína
Todo es diversión y juegos hasta que alguien es secuestrado
Los hombres están realmente en eso, conozco a algunos que lo hicieron
Un .38 de cañón corto, no le importa tu sixpack
Intenta robar al equivocado, podrían echarte el peluquín hacia atrás
Sí, la BBC está hablando del PIB
Eso no significa nada para mí
Sí, la BBC está hablando del PIB
Eso no significa nada para mí
Sí, la BBC está hablando del PIB
Eso no significa nada para mí
Sí, la BBC está hablando del PIB
Eso no significa nada para mí
Tengo que comer
Sabes que un hermano tiene que comer, ¿verdad?
Sabes que un hermano tiene que comer, sí, un hermano tiene que comer
Sabes que un hermano tiene que comer, ¿verdad?
Sabes que un hermano tiene que comer
Sí, la BBC está hablando del PIB
Eso no significa nada para mí
Sí, la BBC está hablando del PIB
Eso no significa nada para mí
Sí, la BBC está hablando del PIB
Eso no significa nada para mí
Sí, la BBC está hablando del PIB
Eso no significa nada para mí
Tengo que comer
Sabes que un hermano tiene que comer
Cuando pregunta cómo me siento, respondo que estoy harto
Algunos se ahogan en dinero, yo apenas mantengo la cabeza a flote
El precio de la vida sube, siento que es una trampa
Porque nadie con quien crecí parece estar progresando
Así que compramos por cinco y vendemos por diez
Recargamos otra barra de nueve, la vendemos de nuevo
El anuncio dice que necesitamos un Mercedes nuevo
Pero para conseguirlo, algunos hombres están matando a familiares y amigos
Sí, persiguiendo el sueño, o lo haces o lo robas
Parece que las opciones son tomarlo o traficarlo
Nadie necesita que le digan que se avecinan tiempos difíciles
Cuando se venga abajo, la gente pobre lo sentirá
Déjame dejarlo claro, este sistema miserable no está jugando limpio
Me importa un carajo si este país me odia aquí
Robaron a nuestra gente, nos desplazaron y nos colocaron aquí
Y la única alegría que obtengo es cuando provoco al oso (Hoo)
