Politics As Usual by JAY-Z
Lyrics & Translation
English
You know how we do
Roc-A-Fella... forever
You can catch me
Skating through your town, putting it down, y'all relating
No waiting, I'll make your block infrared hot: I'm like Satan
Y'all feel a nigga's struggle, y'all think a nigga love to
Hustle behind the wheel, trying to escape my trouble
Kids stop they're greeting me, I'm talking sweet to keys
Cursing the very God that brought this grief to be
My life is based on sacrifices, jewels like Isis
And fools that think I slip, you fuck around
You get your guys hit, they built me to be filthy
On some I-do-or-die shit, for real
The price of leather's got me, deeper than ever and
Just think, winter's here, I'm trying to feel mink, nigga
Politics as usual
I took my Frito to Tito in the district
Blessed me with some VS
Somethings I can live with: stop fronting
And for the dough I raise, gotta get shit appraised
No disrespect to you, make sure your word is true
I'm taking wages down in Vegas just in case Tyson
Have a major night off, that's clean money, the tax write-off
You ain't seen money in your life, when it
Comes to this cheese y'all like Three Blind Mice
I'm smoking bros who pump Willie, I expose
The furthest you Chiles been is the Poconos
My portfolio reads: leads to Don Corleone, nigga please
10-year felon, heavy on the wrist, I faze yous
With the diamond flooded Jesus and blind your facials
For life... sharight, Jigga, I keep it tight, nigga
Politics as usual
You feel my triumph never – feel my pain
I'm lying low in the leathers, I am, the best that's ever came
The game changes like my mind just ain't right
Rewind get this dough, I guess it ain't your night
Sucking me in like a vacuum, I remember
Telling my family, "I'll be back soon." That was December
'85 and Jay-Z rise 10 years later
Got me wise still can't break my underworld ties
I wear black a lot, in the Ac', act a lot
Got matching VCRs, a huge Magnavox
Ten inch, green like spinach, pop wines that's vintage
It's a lot of big money in my sentence
Hitting towards a mil', lip a, written I kill like that
Check baby one-two cat, yeah, I do that
Ain't no stopping the champagne from popping
The drawers from dropping, the law from watching – I hate 'em

Politics As Usual (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Sabes cómo lo hacemos
Roc-A-Fella... para siempre
Puedes encontrarme
Patinando por tu ciudad, dejándolo caer, todos se identifican
Sin esperar, haré que tu cuadra arda en infrarrojos: soy como Satanás
Todos sienten la lucha de un negro, todos piensan que a un negro le encanta
Moverse detrás del volante, tratando de escapar de mis problemas
Los niños se detienen a saludarme, les hablo dulcemente a las llaves
Maldiciendo al mismo Dios que trajo esta pena
Mi vida se basa en sacrificios, joyas como Isis
Y tontos que creen que me resbalo, si te metes
Tus hombres serán golpeados, me hicieron para ser sucio
En plan de vida o muerte, de verdad
El precio del cuero me tiene, más profundo que nunca y
Solo piensa, el invierno está aquí, estoy tratando de sentir el visón, negro
Política como de costumbre
Llevé mi Frito a Tito en el distrito
Me bendijo con algunos VS
Cosas con las que puedo vivir: deja de aparentar
Y por la masa que gano, tengo que hacer que tasen las cosas
Sin faltarte el respeto, asegúrate de que tu palabra sea cierta
Estoy cobrando salarios en Las Vegas por si Tyson
Tiene una gran noche libre, eso es dinero limpio, la deducción de impuestos
No has visto dinero en tu vida, cuando
Se trata de este queso, son como Tres Ratones Ciegos
Estoy derrotando a los hermanos que 'pump Willie', expongo
Lo más lejos que han estado ustedes, Chiles, es Poconos
Mi portafolio dice: lleva a Don Corleone, por favor, negro
Delincuente de 10 años, pesado en la muñeca, los deslumbró
Con el Jesús cubierto de diamantes y ciego sus caras
De por vida... claro, Jigga, lo mantengo apretado, negro
Política como de costumbre
Nunca sientes mi triunfo – siente mi dolor
Estoy escondido en los cueros, soy, el mejor que ha existido
El juego cambia como si mi mente no estuviera bien
Rebobina, consigue esta masa, supongo que no es tu noche
Atraerme como una aspiradora, recuerdo
Diciéndole a mi familia, "Volveré pronto." Eso fue diciembre
'85 y Jay-Z surge 10 años después
Me hizo sabio, aún no puedo romper mis lazos con el bajo mundo
Visto mucho de negro, en el Ac', actúo mucho
Tengo VCRs a juego, un enorme Magnavox
Diez pulgadas, verde como la espinaca, descorcho vinos que son añejos
Hay mucho dinero grande en mi sentencia
Apuntando a un millón, hablando de más, escrito mato así
Chequea, nena, uno-dos gato, sí, yo hago eso
No hay quien detenga el champán de estallar
Los calzones de caer, la ley de observar – los odio
Política como de costumbre
