Текст песни Scarecrow (Jay' Major) с переводом

It’s frightening, you see the news right?

In a moment I promise I’m ‘bout to go berserk from Paranoia

Not my annoyance

This world is a valley of death

Look at the highways, check through the airwaves

You really think that would be air that you breathing?

My homeland’s a terrorist playground

Ain’t trying to be their play dog

Cut loose a greyhound!

Ain’t no place that gat safety

Take a look at the park now, see everybody swinging

You just gotta duck always

Cos you never know when the culture

Might try to go vulture

The world is a harbor of danger

So why y’all out in this dockyard?

Working hard to repair (relation)ships that would sail

Just to kill a man

Working hard is really getting deadly

I done seen folks who ain’t buried in their Bentleys

I done seen folks who ain’t buried in their Bentleys

I done seen folks who ain’t buried in their Bentleys oooooo

Let me tell you ‘bout a mugging

Was a blade and a chopper when they hit me and Tony

Now it seems just a story but

The events of that night did hit me like a tornado

Now I’m sitting brainstorming

Looking for an escape route when I’m haunted by memories

I was a rabbit

And when these thoughts came calling

Shoulda seen what speed how your fella started running

So now I’m digging my tunnels and sinking my trenches

I’m building these walls and creating defenses

See when you done been through some type experiences

You don’t just learn lessons you learn definitions

Now I know why they call it mugging

Cos when you hear that gun crack

You gon' know life is fragile like a piece of chinaware

Here’s a finer ware I be taking up for y’all

Y’all fellas, y’all fellas shoulda beware!

I done seen folks who ain’t buried in their Bentleys

I done seen folks who ain’t buried in their Bentleys

Listen!

So my thumbs and heads up to the height heads

You ain’t seen what happened to the tortoise?

Imma has to save it for another topic

But this man right here staying acrophobic

Now you ‘bout the top and climbing heights

I see they never told you «life is shorter than a hyphen»

So if I could I would levitate

I take the stairs to the top elevators made to eliminate

Look at Tarzan and the mother ape

Even evolution took it slow

Give me a break like the 7th day, like the 7th day

I win it slow and steady

I ain’t ‘bout doing it fast like I never ate, like I never ate

When even the day’s finna be creeping by

Treat it like a lemonade, sipping

I never do it in shots brrraaatttt, brrraaattt rrraaatttt

You could trip and die

I done seen folks who ain’t buried in their Bentleys

I done seen folks who ain’t buried in their Bentleys

Alright!

Now close up your eyes and just listen to me Joshua

I’m your subconscious, your instincts

The drive of your senses, I put you in motion

I teach you safety

I know the future you humans call it premonition

The buckling knees and ‘em twisting stomachs

Would be simply just reflex emotions when feelings erupt

There is a volcano spitting red hot larva right in your front

The love in her eyes

Is easily contradicting the feeling of fear in my heart

Fairy godfather arrives

With that parental advice

Rejection would ruin me

The concept of «be a man and walk right at it»

As I turn my back is no longer appealing to me

Intro: it’s a story about that perfect fear in my heart

I was haunted by it, so let me talk to you about it

Listen

Have you been scared before?

I was victim to my fears for long

Eating away at my heart and my liver

While these logics I juxtaposed made you think I was

Logically just bold

Around here there ain’t no mama told me

Ain’t no papa hold me

Just a grown man trying to get hold over his anxieties

Wes wes, yes, yes

But what I’m I supposed to do when dangers are real

And past events are irreversible using the law of thermodynamics?

What are the dynamics that cause rise and falls in my

Self-composition?

Nightmares in my sleep, dying thoughts in my wake

Been fantasizing ‘bout my wake is enough to keep me out my sleep

Wes wes, rest, rest, yes!

Cowards die a million deaths before the graveyard

And who gon' be at such a funeral with a million wreaths

To lay upon his graveyard?

See where I’m from it’s hard to succeed

When the strong get upon their knees just to prey (pray) upon the weak

Money laundering, hustling

Selling trees like a lumberman

People do anything to succeed including doing you harm

God told me

«The ones who don’t take a risk are the risky ones»

But two shots made you feel like you was the whisky son

I was told dangers are real but fear is an option

Cos every chance at fear is a chance at faith in equal proportion

So give it away, give it away now

I let perfect love get at my heart and take it all away now

So if that scarecrow magnificent

I turn that crow into a man, Maleficent

So if that scarecrow magnificent

I turn that crow into a man, Maleficent

That’s how I let it go people

Let perfect get at your heart

Cos perfect love cast away all fear (scarecrow)

Tales of a coward my people

My tail in between my legs and I fly away

I turn that crow into a man

That’s how I live through it
