Текст песни Free-Written (Jonny 5 & Yak) с переводом

Preconceived notions prepare to be sought out

And found I’ll keep on looking 'til the ocean’s thawed out

For groundbreaking sounds shaking towns taking down electrical fences

The crown of unethical princes must continue in different trends

I gotta admit I feel ingenuine with metaphors of violence

I won’t settle for moral silence

I don’t deal with prominent symbols of dominance

Don’t wanna talk like tyrants

Oh, no — emergency sirens

So low nobody knows the fire is blowing the virus

Over the tired eyelids into the swirling iris

Pupils are getting cornea

I guess you could say I’m warning ya

It’s coming towards us now so of course when I’m out there

I bend swords into plowshares

Bored of the loud snare

Trap set puns divorced from god getting snatched by guns

I’m forcing the crowd to be more than just horses and cows

Do something never would have done before

Gotta feel where you woulda just thought before

Gotta walk slow where you woulda run before

Gotta think were you wouda just fought before

Gotta talk where you would used a gun before

Gotta sneak out where you got caught before

Find out about those that come before

Gotta seek out what you never sought before

Gotta do what you never woulda done before

Blue whale jumping over a cruise ship, old woman jumping in front of a gun

A monk: self-immolation, a man in front of a tank, doing what’s never been done

A madman keeping his cool in the heat of the south

Speaking truth to power from a bleeding mouth

A flower alive inside a brick wall

A girl hides birds and dies with lips stalled

Four black ones from different parts of town

See a white one dragged from a truck on a screen

All four rush down pull him up from the ground

What does that mean? What does that mean?

What does that mean? What does that mean?

What does that mean? What does that mean?

What does that mean? What does that mean?

Gotta feel where you woulda just thought before

Gotta walk slow where you woulda run before

Gotta think were you wouda just fought before

Gotta talk where you would used a gun before

Gotta sneak out where you got caught before

Find out about those that come before

Gotta seek out what you never sought before

Gotta do what you never woulda done before

Gotta feel where you woulda just thought before

Gotta walk slow where you woulda run before

Gotta think were you wouda just fought before

Gotta talk where you would used a gun before

Gotta sneak out where you got caught before

Find out about those that come before

Gotta seek out what you never sought before

Gotta do what you never woulda done before

Gotta feel where you woulda just thought before

Gotta walk slow where you woulda run before

Gotta think were you wouda just fought before

Gotta talk where you would used a gun before

And the ones that come before find you understand

And hum 'til we roar with thunder

Roll where you would thrown rocks before

Gotta do what you never woulda done before

I prefer to write a rhyme so my elegance shines

Try ta bind elephant spines together with mine

For the hell of it catch you with the hook like a halibut

Delicate the kind that’s not used to battle

No matter how fat I stay cool from buttermilk to rice dream

Liquid but I refresh you like an ice cream

Freeze that you swallow in the heat I’m followin' the beat

Like a sneeze and a bless you, addressed to your soul cause I might not know

your street

On my knees I confess to you even if we never even meet

We greet still I met you, I let you see

The gears spinnin' in my brain stormin' fresh new beats

Cyclonin' went roamin' in Japan like a ronin, then increased maturity like test

tube sheep

If you like these rhymes say «whoo» and throw a penny How many do I have?

Hey, d’you know how many donuts fit into eight U-Hauls?

I got so much new shit that I take two stalls

I break through walls and I climb old fences

Make you all fall when I rhyme whole sentences

Catastrophe could anoint my genesis

Naturally it’s how to find snake pits

Stepping out of line, make hits

Land good, point wrap the set up, match you’re beat like tennis

I could say I flow in the streets like Venice

But then it’s a lie I’m just proud of that simile

Rap is more common then Dave, Matt, or Emily

So I say family prayers about bread and spread, preserve the crust; J-A-M-I-E

Fill up your cup, just say «when»

My playpen’s a car lot

Hop roof to roof and spar God

Who’s realist illustrated by Farhad

Prepare a buzz, throwing sighed promos

You know I rhymed but you don’t know where it was

Like a pantomime wall you stall and scratch your temple

Can’t deny you what you saw It’s that simple

Phantom rhymes, alone with no henchmen

No freestyle, no salary, no pension

It’s hot today, I’ve got a lot to say because I’m sentient

Hey, and I thought you were payin' attention?

Maybe that was silly of me

But stop noddin your head unless you really agree

I’m seein' right and wrong inside lifelong winks like Odin

Listen to the words cause I wrote 'em

And maybe that was silly of me

But stop nodding your head unless you really agree

And if you dis I listen, won’t counterattack

We’re all pretty weak (Some of my best friends is wack)

And maybe that was silly of me

But stop nodding your head unless you really agree

So let’s see do you like the song or does it stink?

Come on, am I right or wrong, whaddya think?

Never heard God talk, but I see lifelong winks like Odin

You can stand there stiff and just stare like a totem

(James, Jamie, Jonny Five, or John Brown)

Sag down low or hang out like a scrotum

(Jonny 5, Jonny 5−5, doing what you never even thought of)

Go nuts and make funny noise like a modem

(The Flobots is serious, the Flobots is serious)

But listen to the words cause I wrote them
