Текст песни Other People's Property (feat. Beefy, K.Flay & MC Router) (K.Flay) с переводом

Who’s down with OPP? Yeah you know me

Remixed pastiche of other people’s property

Because what do you do when your culture’s predicated

On a cut and paste identity, straight up appropriated?

Who’s back who’s tight who’s on tonight

Who’s black who’s white who’s wrong who’s right

Yeah I speak for a generation of lost kids

Who had stranger life than our parents ever did

We never had a Woodstock, Iraq is our Vietnam

So we colonized hip-hop, like Dutch dudes Suriname

A mullet on a b-boy, the flavor is intrinsic

If you’ve got the beat inside you, me feel me if you’re with it

From Rolling Stone love to MTV

The thin line between Eminem and Ali G

Guess who just aced this hip-hop pop quiz?

MC Lars posting up laying claim to what’s his

You down with OPP? Yeah you know me

Remixed pastiche of other people’s property

Because what do you do when your culture’s predicated

On a cut and paste identity, straight up appropriated?

Racial politics every time I spit

Am I a colonist or am I legit?

Tip-toe the fine line, it’s ill-defined I’m

Implicated in this mess all the time

The high jack took place way back the Blues Act

Taken by this white cat, he made mad cash

Is it appropriation? Or appreciation?

What kind of statement are we making?

are they mad at me? assimilate the game like the borg

hatin' on me cuz i banged a couple keys on my korg

i twisted the paradigm took something and made it mine

but the way that i make 'em move they don’t seem to mind

i’m a hip-hopper respect the roots

i’m a show stopper and that’s the truth

i’ve been doing this rapping long enough to gain my tenure

get respect at my shows making legal tender

Let me introduce myself, my name is Beefy kid

I’m from the Northwest 509 number one Whitesican

Been known to grab a mic and kill all challengers just with the flows

And with these nerdy lyrics got kids heads all up all at my shows

So because my lack of pigment makes my skin all light

Mean I can’t grab a microphone and rip apart your face tonight?

That sounds ridiculous, you surly can’t be serious

Cause Beefy is so magical I should just be called Severus

Judge me not by the way I appear

Be in your ear, striking fear into all of those insincere

Rap about pop culture, that’s experimentation

But there are those that wanna strike me down for my pigmentation, what?

Don’t you know that I’ve been hanging around

Going to town on these fellas by simply making a sound

But add my visual and audio becomes less important

You’ve got a stupid argument, I’d like to see ya support it

Not trying to put anyone down, not sayin' your not amazing

But when you just reverse the roles you see the trouble we’re facing

People hatin', people saying I’m disgracing the form

I’m trying to elevate the culture, roll it out and transform
