ICE-T – COLORS

Lyrics

I am a nightmare walking, psychopath talking
King of my jungle just a gangster stalking
Living life like a firecracker quick is my fuse
Then dead as a deathpack the colors I choose
Red or Blue, Cuz or Blood, it just don't matter
Suckers dive for your life when my shotgun scatters
We gangs of L.A. will never die - just multiply
You see they hit us then we hit them
Then we hit them and they hit us, man
It's like a war, ya know what I'm sayin'
People dont even understand
They don't even know what they dealing with
You wanna get rid of the gangs it's gonna take a lotta work
But people don't understand the size of this
This is no joke man, this is real
You don't know me, fool
You disown me, cool
I don't need your assistance, social persistance
Any problem I got I just put my fist in
My life is violent but violent is life
Peace is a dream, reality is a knife
My colors, my honour, my colors, my all
With my colors upon me one soldier stands tall
Tell me what have you left me, what have I got
Last night in cold blood my young brother got shot
My home boy got jacked
My mother's on crack
My sister can't work cause her arms show trax
Madness insanity live in profanity
Then some punk claimin' they understandin' me
Give me a break, what world do you live in
Death is my sect, guess my religion
Yo my brother was a gang banger
and all my homeboys bang
I don't know why I do it man, I just do it
I never had much of nuffin man
Look at you man, you've got everything going for yourself
and I ain't got nuffin man, I've got nuffin
I'm living in the ghetto man
just look at me man, look at me
My pants are saggin braided hair
suckers stare but I don't care
my game ain't knowledge my game's fear
I've no remorse so squares beware
But my true mission is just revenge
you ain't in my sect, you ain't my friend
wear the wrong color your life could end
homocides my favorite binge
Listen to me man
no matter whatcha do don't ever join a gang
you don't wanna be in it man,
You're just gonna end up in a mix of dead freinds and time in jail I
know, if
I had a chance like you,
I would never be in a gang man
but I didn't have a chance
You know I wish i did
I'll just walk like a giant police defiant
you'll say to stop but I'll say that I cant
my gangs my family its all that I have
I'm a star, on the walls is my autograph
You don't like it, so you know where you can go
cause the streets are my stage and terror's my show
phsyco-analize tried diognising me wise
It wasn't your brother that brutaly died
But it was mine, so let me define
my territory don't cross the line
Don't try to act crazy
cause shit don't faze me
if you ran like a punk
it wouldn't amaze me
cause my colors death
thou we all want peace
but our war won't end,
till all wars cease.
See the wars of the street gangs will always get to me man
But I don't wanna be down with this situation man
but I'm in here, if I had something betta to do I think I'd do it but
right
now I'm just down here boye
I'm trying to get money cause I'm smart
I'm gunna get paid while I'm out here
I'm gunna get that paper, ya know what I'm saying
If I had a chance like you,
maybe I would be in school
but I'm not, I'm out here living day to day surviving
and I'm willing to die for my colors
Yo'll please stop, cause I want ya all to live.
This is Ice-T, Peace...

Paroles (Traduction)

Je suis un cauchemar qui marche, un psychopathe qui parle
Roi de ma jungle, juste un gangster qui rôde
Je vis ma vie comme une mèche de pétard rapide
Puis mort comme un paquet de mort, les couleurs que je choisis
Rouge ou Bleu, Cuz ou Blood, ça n'a pas d'importance
Les idiots plongent pour leur vie quand mon fusil éparpille
Nous, gangs de L.A., ne mourrons jamais - nous nous multiplions juste
Tu vois, ils nous frappent puis nous les frappons
Puis nous les frappons et ils nous frappent, mec
C'est comme une guerre, tu sais ce que je veux dire
Les gens ne comprennent même pas
Ils ne savent même pas à quoi ils ont affaire
Si tu veux te débarrasser des gangs, ça va prendre beaucoup de travail
Mais les gens ne comprennent pas l'ampleur de ça
Ce n'est pas une blague mec, c'est réel
Tu ne me connais pas, idiot
Tu me renies, cool
Je n'ai pas besoin de ton aide, de ta persistance sociale
Le moindre problème, je mets juste mon poing dedans
Ma vie est violente mais la violence est la vie
La paix est un rêve, la réalité est un couteau
Mes couleurs, mon honneur, mes couleurs, tout pour moi
Avec mes couleurs sur moi, un soldat se tient droit
Dis-moi ce que tu m'as laissé, qu'ai-je
Hier soir, froidement, mon jeune frère s'est fait tirer dessus
Mon pote s'est fait voler
Ma mère est accro
Ma sœur ne peut pas travailler car ses bras montrent des traces
La folie, l'insanité vivent dans la profanité
Puis un abruti prétend qu'il me comprend
Laisse-moi tranquille, dans quel monde vis-tu
La mort est ma secte, devine ma religion
Yo, mon frère était un gangster
et tous mes potes sont des gangsters
