GANG STARR – JUST TO GET A REP

GANG STARR – JUST TO GET A REP

GANG STARR

Lyrics

Stick up kids is out to tax (x2)
And this is how the story goes
Brothers are amused by others brother's reps
But the thing they know best is where the gun is kept
'Cause in the night, you'll feel fright
And at the sight of a 4-5th, I guess you just might
Wanna do a dance or two
'Cause they could maybe bust you for self or wit a crew
No matter is you or your brother's a star
He could pop you in and jet without a getaway car
And some might say that he's a dummy
But he's sticking you and taking all of your money
It's a daily operation
He might be loose in the park or lurking at the train station
Mad brothers know his name
So he thinks he got a little fame
From the stick-up game
And while we're blaming society
He's at a party with his man
They got their eye on the gold chain
That the next man's wearing
It looks big but they ain't staring
Just thinking of a way and when to get the brother
They'll be long gone before the kid recovers
And back around the way, he'll have the chain on his neck
Claimin' respect, Just to get a rep
Ten brothers in a circle
Had the kid trapped, the one wit the hood, he said, "We'll hurt you"
If you don't run out your dues and pay
Give up the Rolex watch or you won't see another day
See, they were on the attack
And one said, "Yo, you wanna make this to a homicide rap?
Make it fast so we can be on our way
Kick in the rings and everything, ok?"
The kid was nervous and flinching
And little shorty with the 3-8, yo, he was inchin
Closer and closer, put the gun to his head
Shorty was down to catch a body instead
Money was scared so he panicked
Took off his link and his rings and ran frantic
But shorty said, "Now" pulled the trigger and stepped
It was nothing, he did it just to get a rep
The rep goes bigger and now hes known for his trigger finger
Rolling with troops of the sons like a gangster figure
Hes near the peak of his crazy career
His posse's a nightmare macking jewls and some crazy gear
but as we know these things do come back
and shortys now peeping others that are scheming the kind of act
Cuz the kid that got shot didnt perish so
He pulls up in a jeep with tinted window
Too late shorty was caught in the mix
His time ran out his number came up and thats it
Ya know the rest so dont front the plan has been upset
Some brothers gotta go out, just to get a rep

Paroles (Traduction)

Les gamins armés sont là pour racketter (x2)
Et voici comment l'histoire se déroule
Les frères sont amusés par les réputations des autres frères
Mais ce qu'ils savent le mieux, c'est où le pistolet est caché
Car dans la nuit, tu ressentiras la peur
Et à la vue d'un 4-5ème, je suppose que tu pourrais bien
Vouloir danser un peu
Car ils pourraient peut-être te coincer seul ou avec une bande
Peu importe si toi ou ton frère êtes une star
Il pourrait te tirer dessus et s'enfuir sans voiture de fuite
Et certains pourraient dire qu'il est idiot
Mais il te braque et prend tout ton argent
C'est une opération quotidienne
Il pourrait être en liberté dans le parc ou rôder à la gare
Les frères enragés connaissent son nom
Alors il pense qu'il a un peu de renommée
Dans le jeu du braquage
Et pendant que nous blâmons la société
Il est à une fête avec son pote
Ils ont les yeux rivés sur la chaîne en or
Que porte le prochain
Elle semble grosse mais ils ne la regardent pas
Ils pensent juste à un moyen et à quand attraper le frère
Ils seront loin avant que le gamin ne se remette
Et de retour dans le coin, il aura la chaîne autour de son cou
Revendiquant du respect, juste pour se faire une réputation
Dix frères en cercle
Avaient piégé le gamin, celui avec la capuche, il a dit, "On va te faire mal"
Si tu ne payes pas ta part et ne paies pas
Lâche la montre Rolex ou tu ne verras pas un autre jour
Ils étaient en mode attaque
Et l'un a dit, "Eh, tu veux transformer ça en un homicide?
Fais vite pour qu'on puisse partir
Prends les bagues et tout, ok?"
Le gamin était nerveux et frémissait
Et le petit gars avec le 3-8, eh bien, il se rapprochait
