Can't Truss It
Carlton Ridenhour, Gary Rinaldo, Hank Shocklee
Bass in your face
Not an eight track
Gettin' it good to the wood
So the people
Give you some a dat
Reactin' to the fax
That I kick and it stick
And it stay around
Pointin' to the joint, put the Buddha down
Goin', goin', gettin' to the roots
Ain't givin' it up
So turn me loose
But then again I got a story
That's harder than the hardcore
Cost of the holocaust
I'm talin' 'bout the one still goin' on
I know where I'm from, not dum diddie dum
From the base motherland
The place of the drum
Invaded by the wack diddie wack
Fooled the black, left us faded
King and chief probably had a big beef
Because of dat now I grit my teeth
So here's a song to the strong
'Bout a shake of a snake
And the smile went along with that
Can't truss it
Can't truss it
Can't truss it
Can't truss it
Can't truss it
Kickin' wicked rhymes
Like a fortune teller
'Cause the wickedness done by Jack
Where everybody at
Divided and sold
For liquor and the gold
Smacked in the back
For the other man to mack
Now the story that I'm kickin' is gory
Little Rock where they be
Dockin' this boat
No hope I'm shackled
Plus gang tackled
By the other hand swingin' the rope
Wearin' red, white and blue Jack and his crew
The guy's authorized beat down for the brown
Man to the man, each one so it teach one
Born to terrorize sisters and every brother
One love who said it
I know Whodini sang it
But the hater taught hate
That's why we gang bang it
Beware of the hand
When it's comin' from the left
I ain't trippin' just watch ya step
Can't truss it
Can't truss it
Can't truss it
Can't truss it
Can't truss it
Can't truss it
Can't truss it
Can't truss it
Can't truss it
And I judge everyone, one by the one
Look here come the judge
Watch it here he come now
I can only guess what's happening
Years ago he woulda been
The ships captain
Gettin' me bruised on a cruise
What I got to lose, lost all contact
Got me layin' on my back
Rollin' in my own leftover
When I roll over, I roll over in somebody else's
Ninety damn days on a slave ship
Count 'em fallin' off two, three, four hun'ed at a time
Blood in the wood and it's mine
I'm chokin' on spit feelin' pain
Like my brain bein' chained
Still gotta give it what I got
But it's hot in the day, cold in the night
But I thrive to survive, I pray to God to stay alive
Attitude boils up inside
And that ain't it (think I'll every quit)
Still I pray to get my hands 'round
The neck of the man wit' the whip
Three months pass, they brand a label on my ass
To signify
Owned
I'm on the microphone
Sayin' 1555
How I'm livin'
We been livin' here
Livin' ain't the word

Fightin' haves
'Cause it's all about money
When it comes to Armageddon
Mean I'm getting mine

So turn me loose
Quindi lasciami andare
But then again I got a story
Ma poi di nuovo ho una storia
That's harder than the hardcore
Che è più dura dell'hardcore
Cost of the holocaust
Costo dell'olocausto
I'm talin' 'bout the one still goin' on
Sto parlando di quello che sta ancora andando avanti
I know where I'm from, not dum diddie dum
So da dove vengo, non dum diddie dum
From the base motherland
Dalla base madreterra
The place of the drum
Il luogo del tamburo
Invaded by the wack diddie wack
Invaduto dal wack diddie wack
Fooled the black, left us faded
Ingannato il nero, ci ha lasciato sbiaditi
King and chief probably had a big beef
Re e capo probabilmente avevano un grosso problema
Because of dat now I grit my teeth
A causa di quello ora digrigno i denti
So here's a song to the strong
Quindi ecco una canzone per i forti
'Bout a shake of a snake
Circa una stretta di un serpente
And the smile went along with that
E il sorriso andava insieme a quello

Kickin' wicked rhymes
Calciando rime malvagie
Like a fortune teller
Come un indovino
'Cause the wickedness done by Jack
Perché la malvagità fatta da Jack
Where everybody at
Dove sono tutti
Divided and sold
Divisi e venduti
For liquor and the gold
Per l'alcol e l'oro
Smacked in the back
Colpito alla schiena
For the other man to mack
Per l'altro uomo da mack
Now the story that I'm kickin' is gory
Ora la storia che sto raccontando è gory
Little Rock where they be
Little Rock dove sono
Dockin' this boat
Attraccando questa barca
No hope I'm shackled
Nessuna speranza sono incatenato
Plus gang tackled
Più attaccato in gang
By the other hand swingin' the rope
Dall'altra mano che sventola la corda
Wearin' red, white and blue Jack and his crew
Indossando rosso, bianco e blu Jack e la sua crew
The guy's authorized beat down for the brown
Il tizio è autorizzato a picchiare per il marrone
Man to the man, each one so it teach one
Uomo all'uomo, ognuno così insegna uno
Born to terrorize sisters and every brother
Nato per terrorizzare sorelle e ogni fratello
One love who said it
Un amore chi lo ha detto
I know Whodini sang it
So che Whodini lo ha cantato
But the hater taught hate
Ma l'odiatore ha insegnato l'odio
That's why we gang bang it
Ecco perché lo facciamo in gang
Beware of the hand
Attento alla mano
When it's comin' from the left
Quando sta arrivando da sinistra
I ain't trippin' just watch ya step
Non sto inciampando, basta guardare il tuo passo

I can only guess what's happening
Posso solo indovinare cosa sta succedendo
Years ago he woulda been
Anni fa sarebbe stato
The ships captain
Il capitano della nave
Gettin' me bruised on a cruise
Prendendomi contusioni su una crociera
What I got to lose, lost all contact
Cosa ho da perdere, perso ogni contatto
Got me layin' on my back
Mi ha fatto stendere sulla schiena
Rollin' in my own leftover
Rotolando nei miei resti
When I roll over, I roll over in somebody else's
Quando mi giro, mi giro in qualcun altro
Ninety damn days on a slave ship
Novanta maledetti giorni su una nave schiava
Count 'em fallin' off two, three, four hun'ed at a time
Contali cadendo due, tre, quattro cento alla volta
Blood in the wood and it's mine
Sangue nel legno ed è mio
I'm chokin' on spit feelin' pain
Sto soffocando sulla saliva sentendo dolore
Like my brain bein' chained
Come se il mio cervello fosse incatenato
Still gotta give it what I got
Devo ancora dare quello che ho
But it's hot in the day, cold in the night
Ma fa caldo di giorno, freddo di notte
But I thrive to survive, I pray to God to stay alive
Ma mi sforzo di sopravvivere, prego Dio di rimanere vivo
Attitude boils up inside
L'atteggiamento bolle dentro
And that ain't it (think I'll every quit)
E quello non è tutto (pensi che smetterò mai)
Still I pray to get my hands 'round
Ancora prego di mettere le mani intorno
The neck of the man wit' the whip
Al collo dell'uomo con la frusta
Three months pass, they brand a label on my ass
Passano tre mesi, mi marchiano un'etichetta sul culo
