Текст песни Dark Matters (Alex Faith) с переводом

They sick of hearing me talk about this, Damn it man!

I’m sick of having to talk about this

It’s so hot in America, frying pan to the fire

An account from the lips of an officer who’s a coward

A cellphone video proving that he’s a liar

Never got to say goodbye in his final hours

And a young black mother and her tears are like showers

On the blood stained concrete, victim to the power

Of a system that hates them

The logical evolution of a system that rapes them

Of course the state regulated media berates them

I’m losing my patience

That’s the boot of the law on the neck of the poor

White people on the internet they heckle you for it

I can only live in the standards that my sheckles afford

If they ain’t serving and protecting what the heck are they for?

If we don’t say anything we just settling for it

And the people on the internet will say I hate the police

Because of this song and that’s a lie bruh (that's a lie)

Man I love freedom and freedom is alive bruh

And if I love freedom then I gotta hate the lies bruh

Uh, Yeah, but ya’ll ain’t hearing me clearly

Reduce to what I’m saying to conspiracy theories

You see it from a distance, but this all is very near me

I’m saying all of this so that the status quo should fear me

Do you feel me?

You ever seen somebody get shot?

I ain’t start at the bottom, but I’m miles from the top

Class warfare, what do you believe about it?

History is on my side, you better read about it

You agree with me you better get up and go be about it

Wanna have the conversation, come on and we can see about it

And I ain’t talking out the side of my face

People that’s around me saying I’m betraying my race

Tell me, can you feel the fire in my bones?

Tell me, can you hear the cries from their homes?

Uh, really think that I’m willing to lose friends

And hop on social justice because it’s the new trend

Uh

And I ain’t being divisive. My desire is for unity and I don’t hate the law.

But I do believe that it’s flawed. Before we can have unity, we have to have

equality

The Earth was formless and void and darkness was over the surface of the deep

And so was my dark ebony skin on the surface of the street

Chocolate cheek face down on the concrete, padded from the waist down

A cop’s knee in my spine, ironically as he called for backup

I dare not make a sound

The officer said this was routine, I believed him this was not a new thing

Plenty black faces found their homes on the pavement, this was my turn

I pray that the concrete does not become my urn

Burned to ash by the biases of a badge

A son is looking at his dad and I wanna tell him he can grow up to be more than

a hashtag

More than a means to march, more than a grieve remembered in the heart,

more than a deceased matter that is dark

Let there be light cause see the boys in blue will ROYGBIV you

Have you taste the rainbow with Skittles and iced tea

Society will write in bold Times New Roman that you are no angel in your

obituary

They’ll Tamir Rice your children at a pavilion

Sean Bell your future spouse

The belly of the beast will feast on you despite the Sandra Bland taste your

skin leaves in its' mouth

And when you are not afforded a process that is due

Shouting a quote from Ta-Nehisi Coates won’t save you

Plus there are those who will All Lives Matter you until you no longer matter

due

Black and blue, what does a man with my hue have to do in order to survive you?

So that officer eventually let up, offered no apology, but said I could get up

Went about his way and said stay out of trouble with an unfriendly smile

And I’m left piecing back my dignity in front of my only child

And as I drive home that night I try not to let my heart harden knowing that

this is what happens when marginalized people refuse to stay in the margins
