Текст песни Black Privilege 2 (Napoleon Da Legend) с переводом

The biggest lie the devil told was that he didn’t exist

That we accepted a second class status and didn’t resist

That white privilege was something made up like science fiction

That American is wasn’t built on the back of a violent system

But our gut told us different see the color of this body

Made this lady wanna cross the street instead of walk by me

Or cops stopping me next to the subway station

Claiming I fit the description of a crime investigation when they

They see my name on a resume then it’s decimated

What’s up my man what’s the reason for the hesitation

Explain this, why my accolades look less amazing?

Don’t want your sympathy just fees and reparations see

When we say white privilege first they think excuses

Cause a few of us made it so the rest of us are useless

But some others have it hard to We can have all of the same things

But it feels we have to work twice as hard to

We ain’t scared to work hard even tho we didn’t start off

With a million dollars that was in Donald Trumps cards

Same song cause what doesn’t kill us it makes us strong

Felt the pain repeatedly we no longer afraid of harm

We learned to be more crafty talk a little slicker

Jump a little higher and think a little quicker

Run a little faster sleep a little less

Studied a bit more and learned better to manage stress

And it’s all a bit ironic like Alanis Morrisette

Got us all looking up to western ideals for respect

Singling out success like Morris chestnut on a set

Straight Pimping all of our talent then collecting all the checks

Privilege is a right a special edge or an advantage

Fuck it we got better when the system left us abandoned

Black Privilege cause the upper class had its turn

White is what is given and black it’s what’s earned

Haves and the have nots u won’t give us our share

So we take it updated and we coming up the stairs

Black Privilege

Underground rappers are broke (laughter) you ain’t got no money,

you ain’t got no job

Damn Charlamagne right off the gate you have to be disrespectful though

You a very underrated lyricist. People watching this interview right now like

who the hell is this guy

I’m glad you said that cause we all need an introduction. I’m a tell yall a

story about how it all lead up to this

Wrote black Privilege for steal This Mixtape too

Tapped Mad Squablz for it the young homie came thru

Shot the video and dropped it music box copped it

Dropped some jewels for those who operate with flawed logic

Then the homie told me Charlamagne was dropping a book

It’s gonna give the concept legs that’s a quality look

I had some shirts made already I could drop em a few

I waited in a front of the station 3 hours for duke

Was cold as fuck ignored envy as he walked up

Angela came an hour later word she was dolled up

His boys wax was posting up as he stepped out his car

«Peace Charlamagne I got something for you and ya squad»

He paused «I meant a gift beloved I came in peace

I got a song called black privilege and gave him a T»

He said «Dope! I wrote a book that had the same title»

«Congratulations! Spread the gospel like the saints in the Bible»

He gave me dap and said «respect» then he dashed upstairs

And literally two minutes later he was live on air

I understand you a successful man so I kept it moving

Ideas is worth nothing with no proper execution

Next day seen sway the same way gave him a hoodie

First reaction I’m a wear this today it’s all goodie

Posted the video sales went up

Around the time taxstone went to jail that was bugged

But where’s the black privilege when you be dissing on ya guest

On ya hoodie underlined with a sentence on ya chest

And see you good at what you do and that’s obvious fact

People share more interviews that get the audience mad

Fickle when u lose em hard to get ya audience back

Bringing Farrakhan don’t be that Pharaoh conning ya pack

Ya Black Privilege is burned when corporations help you earn

I see ya work in Carolina to give back in return

Talking about gangsta rapper and their image in rap

But you talking and shining light on mostly rappers that trap

Or claim it I know ya struggles with Wendy and other stations

The success and the scrutiny coming from publications

I salute you love you as a brother even as stranger

It always good to see black man who made it

Wanna see you reaching higher don’t resent those who ya voice represents we

still holding ya feet to the fire

Black Privilege

Came from the bottom straight to the top my name Po what you know about me?

From the bottom straight to the top name Po what you know about me?

From the bottom straight to the top name Po what you know about me?

What you know about me?

Black Privilege black black privilege

That’s the premise if you black then u primitive

That’s the main stream I don’t play the same stream

This ain’t fast food I don’t sell fake dreams

I spit it different with the words yea

I give my own definition to the words yea

I put my vision in these words and disturb

Then I Destroy the system with my word yea

They call me Po never riding coat tails

No crimes no coke sales no gunshots no jail

No co-signs from a Nobel prize winner

If u building then I side with cha yea

Climb with cha break bread drink wine with cha

It’s not about the bank account kid my mind richer

If you a snake spend no time with cha

Never blind with cha never stand in line with cha

Stand tall I can tell you got some pride witcha

White privileges is what’s given from society

Cops Letting go after you failed ya sobriety

Good jobs good schools u get the first dibs

Ya whole profile on paper looking perfect

Black Privileges what u did to make yourself better

Gave yourself an edge in life being a go getter

Never quitting when the odds go against you

Working on ya talent to be sharper than a ginsu

Slice the competition cause u better now u get fetta now

It’s on another level now

Create my own Privilege I’m different

Everything I say sound different

Everything I wear look different

I’m different spit to beat that I kill for a living

Black Privilege black black privilege

Black privilege that’s my Privilege

Came from the bottom straight to the top my name Po

What you know about me?

From the bottom straight to the top name Po

What you know about me?
