We As Americans by Eminem
Lyrics & Translation
English
There's an intruder in my house
He cut my phone line: can't dial out (Shit!)
I scream for police, but I doubt
They're gonna hear me when I shout
A couple of cocktails'll send me to jail
There's a couple of cops hot on my trail, but this time
When I get pulled over there's a Doberman Pinscher
And a pit bull in the seat, these pigs'll get bit
Foolin' with me, quit foolin' with me
Bitch, you're gonna see, no pistol in the seat
Why it always gotta be an issue when you're me?
And which you're gonna see in the long run, I'ma be the wrong one
You wanna harass with this limo-tinted glass
Flashin' that flashlight on my ass — where was you at
Last night when them assholes ran up on my grass?
Rapper slash actor, kiss the crack of my cracker slash ass
They took away my right to bear arms
What I'm 'posed to fight with, bare palms?
Yeah, right! They comin' with bombs
I'm comin' with flare guns; we as Americans
We as Americans, us as a citizen
Gotta protect ourselves, look at how shit has been
We better check ourselves, livin' up in these streets
Through worse and through better health, survivin' by any means
We as Americans, us as a citizen
We are Samaritans, what do we get us in?
We better check ourselves, look at how shit has been
Take a look where you live, this is America, and we are Americans
I make beaucoup bucks, wearin' beaucoup vests
Drama hangin' over my head, like a voodoo hex
I coulda been next to fly over the cuckoo's nest
With you-know-who, with an S tattooed to my chest
But I've finessed it, now I've got the industry pissy
Ever since me and Dre split it fifty-fifty on 50
It's funny, we got a buzz spreadin' quicker
Than makin' paper airplanes out of a twenty
Fuck money! I don't rap for dead presidents
I'd rather see the President [dead]
It's never been said, but I set precedents
And the standards and they can't stand it
My name shoulda been "Bastard", the shit shoulda been plastered
On my forehead with a stamp, I shoulda been blasted
I shoulda been had a cap put in my ass
But I'm too swift and fast for that, I'm past it
I'm too old to go and cruise Gratiot — fuck that shit!
I done seen how fast this rap shit
Can turn into some pap-pap shit, that quick, snap click
But this time, they got the fuckin' automatic
Ain't no one gon' test this man — clack [*click*]
We as Americans, us as a citizen
Gotta protect ourselves, look at how shit has been
We better check ourselves, livin' up in these streets
Through worse and through better health, survivin' by any means
We as Americans, us as a citizen
We are Samaritans, what do we get us in?
We better check ourselves, look at how shit has been
Take a look where you live, this is America, and we are Americans
(Shht!) I got a secret if you can keep it between us
I tuck two ninas under my jeans, either side of my penis
Under my long johns, under my Sean Johns
One run-in with the long arm of the law, I'm long gone
I'ma do five years — no less than that, no questions asked
So it might be a good idea that I stop right here
And quit while I'm ahead, already in the red
Already got a steady infrared meant for my head
A target on my back, bigger problems than that
Bin Laden on my ass, he probably gon' send a task
I ain't gon' even ask, they ain't gon' let me pack
They ain't gon' give me my semi, but I got my weed back
We as Americans, us as a citizen
Gotta protect ourselves, look at how shit has been
We better check ourselves, livin' up in these streets
Through worse and through better health, survivin' by any means
We as Americans, us as a citizen
We are Samaritans, what do we get us in?
We better check ourselves, look at how shit has been
Take a look where you live, this is America, and we are Americans

We As Americans (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Hay un intruso en mi casa
Cortó mi línea telefónica: no puedo llamar (¡Mierda!)
Grito por la policía, pero dudo
Que me vayan a escuchar cuando grite
Un par de cócteles me enviarán a la cárcel
Hay un par de policías pisándome los talones, pero esta vez
Cuando me detengan habrá un Dóberman Pinscher
Y un pit bull en el asiento, estos cerdos serán mordidos
Jugando conmigo, deja de jugar conmigo
Perra, vas a ver, sin pistola en el asiento
¿Por qué siempre tiene que ser un problema cuando eres yo?
Y lo que vas a ver a la larga, voy a ser el equivocado
Quieres acosar con este cristal tintado de limusina
Apuntando esa linterna a mi trasero — ¿dónde estabas
Anoche cuando esos imbéciles invadieron mi césped?
Rapero barra actor, besa el culo de mi trasero barra cracker
Me quitaron el derecho a portar armas
¿Con qué se supone que debo luchar, con las palmas desnudas?
¡Sí, claro! Vienen con bombas
Yo vengo con pistolas de bengalas; nosotros como americanos
Nosotros como americanos, nosotros como ciudadanos
Tenemos que protegernos, mira cómo han sido las cosas
Mejor nos revisamos, viviendo en estas calles
A través de la peor y la mejor salud, sobreviviendo por cualquier medio
Nosotros como americanos, nosotros como ciudadanos
Somos samaritanos, ¿en qué nos metemos?
Mejor nos revisamos, mira cómo han sido las cosas
Echa un vistazo a dónde vives, esto es América, y somos americanos
Gano mucho dinero, vistiendo muchos chalecos
El drama colgando sobre mi cabeza, como un maleficio vudú
Podría haber sido el siguiente en volar sobre el nido del cuco
Con ya-sabes-quién, con una S tatuada en mi pecho
Pero lo he manejado con astucia, ahora tengo a la industria cabreada
Desde que Dre y yo lo dividimos cincuenta-cincuenta en 50
Es gracioso, tenemos un rumor que se extiende más rápido
Que haciendo aviones de papel con un billete de veinte
¡A la mierda el dinero! No rapeo por presidentes muertos
Preferiría ver al Presidente [muerto]
Nunca se ha dicho, pero yo senté precedentes
Y los estándares y no lo soportan
Mi nombre debería haber sido "Bastardo", la mierda debería haber sido pegada
En mi frente con un sello, debería haber sido volado
Deberían haberme metido una bala en el culo
Pero soy demasiado rápido y veloz para eso, ya lo superé
Soy demasiado viejo para ir a pasear por Gratiot — ¡a la mierda con eso!
Ya he visto lo rápido que esta mierda del rap
Puede convertirse en una mierda de "pap-pap", así de rápido, clic-clic
Pero esta vez, tienen la jodida automática
Nadie va a probar a este hombre — clac [*clic*]
Nosotros como americanos, nosotros como ciudadanos
Tenemos que protegernos, mira cómo han sido las cosas
Mejor nos revisamos, viviendo en estas calles
A través de la peor y la mejor salud, sobreviviendo por cualquier medio
Nosotros como americanos, nosotros como ciudadanos
Somos samaritanos, ¿en qué nos metemos?
Mejor nos revisamos, mira cómo han sido las cosas
Echa un vistazo a dónde vives, esto es América, y somos americanos
(¡Shht!) Tengo un secreto si puedes guardarlo entre nosotros
Guardo dos ninas bajo mis jeans, a cada lado de mi pene
Bajo mis calzoncillos largos, bajo mis Sean Johns
Un encuentro con el largo brazo de la ley, y me habré ido para siempre
Voy a hacer cinco años — no menos que eso, sin preguntas
Así que podría ser una buena idea que me detenga aquí
Y me rinda mientras estoy en ventaja, ya en números rojos
Ya tengo un infrarrojo fijo apuntando a mi cabeza
Un objetivo en mi espalda, problemas más grandes que eso
Bin Laden detrás de mí, probablemente enviará una misión
Ni siquiera voy a preguntar, no me van a dejar empacar
No me van a dar mi semi-automática, pero recuperé mi hierba
Nosotros como americanos, nosotros como ciudadanos
Tenemos que protegernos, mira cómo han sido las cosas
Mejor nos revisamos, viviendo en estas calles
A través de la peor y la mejor salud, sobreviviendo por cualquier medio
Nosotros como americanos, nosotros como ciudadanos
Somos samaritanos, ¿en qué nos metemos?
Mejor nos revisamos, mira cómo han sido las cosas
Echa un vistazo a dónde vives, esto es América, y somos americanos
