Nasty C Lyrics
"They Don't"
(feat. T.I.)
[Nasty C:]
They don't want me to win, they don't want me to eat
They don't want to see a young black man succeed
They don't want to see me take my brothers out of the streets
They don't want me
They don't want me to sleep, they don't want me to dream
They don't want to see my people livin' good and at ease
They wanna lock 'em all up and then get rid of the keys
We ain't never free
I'm grateful for life and the prize I reap
Every day and every night, I get on my knees
And I pray for my guys and they families
Hope the Lord hear me
I can only imagine the pain and the grief
From the innocent mothers with all the shit they had to see
When you lose the ones you love to the fuckin' police, it cuts deep
When Heaven calls and the angels do they job
We start to question God like we could play His part
It gets so fuckin' hard, we can't escape the dark
It's hatred in my heart for the ones who left this scar
But everything will be alright soon
I just wanna let you know ain't nothin' like you
We live and die, that's always been the cycle
I promise it wasn't about you
When you make it to Heaven, give me your eyes, dude
Watch over me closely 'til it's my time too
The only thing I can do is turn to the Bible
And do my best to help your family 'cause they're mine too
But they don't want me to win, they don't want me to eat
They don't want to see a young black man succeed
They don't want to see me take my brothers out of the streets
They don't want me
They don't want me to sleep, they don't want me to dream
They don't want to see my people livin' good and at ease
They wanna lock 'em all up and then get rid of the keys
We ain't never free
[T.I.:]
How could you blame as many sisters and brothers die?
If they answer to it go and start another fire
Guess they gotta do it, has to show objection to it
God bless 'em, no direction, out there gettin' to it
2020, guess it's the year of the burn, consequences you earned
To build this nation that you hate me in, the karma's returned
Well, that's a stupid question, when will you learn?
You never will, word to George Floyd, Emmett Till, and Sean Bell
Guess they'd rather see us all in civil unrest
Than to go and make some fuckin' arrests, fuck is that?
Well, after that, here's to getting exactly what you expect
How you 'posed to serve and protect with your knee on my neck?
Look, it ain't hard to see you not for me, the cycle of atrocity
Blew your cover when there about to be some reciprocity
I'm with the cause, and it's gon' be whatever it got to be (Uh-uh)
Uh-huh, but vandalizin' buildings, that's just not for me
But even still, if I'ma be real with you, no fuckin' joke
Best thing I seen, that police station goin' up in smoke
Hmm, felt like vindication for so many folks (For real)
Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, and so many more
[Nasty C:]
They don't want me to win, they don't want me to eat
They don't want to see a young black man succeed
They don't want to see me take my brothers out of the streets
They don't want me
They don't want me to sleep, they don't want me to dream
They don't want to see my people livin' good and at ease
They wanna lock 'em all up and then get rid of the keys
We ain't never free
Ayy, hold my hand, mama, I'm here for you
They think they took your son, but they put him right next to you
You the strongest thing on this earth, you unbreakable
Plus you brought him into this earth and you raised him too
Take a second off every day and get comfortable
Celebrate yourself for a change 'cause you never do
With all the pressure from society, you always hiding
Go outside and show the world a better you
I know you worried sick about if I'ma make it home this evening
You know 'cause of my color, life ain't gon' be easy
But I'ma be okay if I tell God I need Him
That's what you taught me without even knowing you teaching
See what I'm tryna say is you the furthest from weak
And I sing your praises because you a G
You made me and made the world a better place for your seeds
How the fuck could anybody take 'em away from they queen?

Letras de Nasty C
"They Don't"
(feat. T.I.)
[Nasty C:]
No quieren que gane, no quieren que coma
No quieren ver a un joven negro tener éxito
No quieren verme sacar a mis hermanos de las calles
No me quieren
No quieren que duerma, no quieren que sueñe
No quieren ver a mi gente viviendo bien y a gusto
Quieren encerrarlos a todos y luego deshacerse de las llaves
Nunca somos libres
Estoy agradecido por la vida y el premio que cosecho
Cada día y cada noche, me arrodillo
Y rezo por mis amigos y sus familias
Espero que el Señor me escuche
Solo puedo imaginar el dolor y la pena
De las madres inocentes con toda la mierda que tuvieron que ver
Cuando pierdes a los que amas por la puta policía, duele mucho
Cuando el Cielo llama y los ángeles hacen su trabajo
Empezamos a cuestionar a Dios como si pudiéramos hacer Su papel
Se pone tan jodidamente difícil, no podemos escapar de la oscuridad
Hay odio en mi corazón por los que dejaron esta cicatriz
Pero todo estará bien pronto
Solo quiero que sepas que no hay nada como tú
Vivimos y morimos, ese siempre ha sido el ciclo
Prometo que no fue por ti
Cuando llegues al Cielo, dame tus ojos, amigo
Vigílame de cerca hasta que sea mi momento también
Lo único que puedo hacer es recurrir a la Biblia
Y hacer lo mejor para ayudar a tu familia porque también son míos
Pero no quieren que gane, no quieren que coma
No quieren ver a un joven negro tener éxito
No quieren verme sacar a mis hermanos de las calles
No me quieren
No quieren que duerma, no quieren que sueñe
No quieren ver a mi gente viviendo bien y a gusto
Quieren encerrarlos a todos y luego deshacerse de las llaves
Nunca somos libres
[T.I.:]
¿Cómo puedes culpar mientras tantas hermanas y hermanos mueren?
Si su respuesta es ir y empezar otro fuego
Supongo que tienen que hacerlo, tienen que mostrar objeción a ello
Dios los bendiga, sin dirección, ahí fuera haciéndolo
2020, supongo que es el año de la quema, consecuencias que te ganaste
Para construir esta nación en la que me odias, el karma ha regresado
Bueno, esa es una pregunta estúpida, ¿cuándo aprenderás?
Nunca lo harás, palabra de George Floyd, Emmett Till y Sean Bell
Supongo que preferirían vernos a todos en disturbios civiles
Que ir y hacer algunos putos arrestos, ¿qué coño es eso?
Bueno, después de eso, aquí está para obtener exactamente lo que esperas
¿Cómo se supone que sirves y proteges con tu rodilla en mi cuello?
Mira, no es difícil ver que no eres para mí, el ciclo de la atrocidad
Revelaste tu tapadera cuando estaba a punto de haber algo de reciprocidad
Estoy con la causa, y será lo que tenga que ser (Uh-uh)
Ajá, pero vandalizar edificios, eso no es para mí
Pero aun así, si voy a ser honesto contigo, sin putas bromas
Lo mejor que vi, esa estación de policía ardiendo en humo
Hmm, se sintió como vindicación para tanta gente (De verdad)
Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, y muchos más
[Nasty C:]
No quieren que gane, no quieren que coma
No quieren ver a un joven negro tener éxito
No quieren verme sacar a mis hermanos de las calles
No me quieren
No quieren que duerma, no quieren que sueñe
No quieren ver a mi gente viviendo bien y a gusto
Quieren encerrarlos a todos y luego deshacerse de las llaves
Nunca somos libres
Oye, toma mi mano, mamá, estoy aquí para ti
Creen que se llevaron a tu hijo, pero lo pusieron justo a tu lado
Eres lo más fuerte en esta tierra, eres inquebrantable
Además, lo trajiste a esta tierra y también lo criaste
Tómate un segundo cada día y ponte cómoda
Celébrate a ti misma por una vez porque nunca lo haces
Con toda la presión de la sociedad, siempre te escondes
Sal y muéstrale al mundo una mejor tú
Sé que estás preocupada por si llegaré a casa esta noche
Sabes que por mi color, la vida no será fácil
Pero estaré bien si le digo a Dios que lo necesito
Eso es lo que me enseñaste sin siquiera saber que estabas enseñando
Lo que intento decir es que eres lo más lejos de débil
Y canto tus alabanzas porque eres una G
Me hiciste y hiciste del mundo un lugar mejor para tus semillas
¿Cómo coño podría alguien quitárselos a su reina?
