Don't Believe the Hype
Carlton Ridenhour, Eric Sadler, Hank Shocklee
Back
Caught you lookin' for the same thing
It's a new thing, check out this I bring
Uh Oh the roll below the level
'Cause I'm livin' low next to the bass, c'mon
Turn up the radio
They claim that I'm a criminal
By now I wonder how
Some people never know
The enemy could be their friend, guardian
I'm not a hooligan
I rock the party and
Clear all the madness, I'm not a racist
Preach to teach to all
'Cause some they never had this
Number one, not born to run
About the gun
I wasn't licensed to have one
The minute they see me, fear me
I'm the epitome, a public enemy
Used, abused without clues
I refused to blow a fuse
They even had it on the news
Don't believe the hype
Yes
Was the start of my last jam
So here it is again, another def jam
But since I gave you all a little something
That we knew you lacked
They still consider me a new jack
All the critics you can hang 'em
I'll hold the rope
But they hope to the pope
And pray it ain't dope
The follower of Farrakhan
Don't tell me that you understand
Until you hear the man
The book of the new school rap game
Writers treat me like Coltrane, insane
Yes to them, but to me I'm a different kind
We're brothers of the same mind, unblind
Caught in the middle and
Not surrenderin'
I don't rhyme for the sake of of riddlin'
Some claim that I'm a smuggler
Some say I never heard of 'ya
A rap burglar, false media
We don't need it do we?
It's fake that's what it be to 'ya, dig me?
Don't believe the hype
Don't believe the hype, its a sequel
As an equal, can I get this through to you
My 98's boomin' with a trunk of funk
All the jealous punks can't stop the dunk
Comin' from the school of hard knocks
Some perpetrate, they drink Clorox
Attack the black, 'cause I know they lack exact
The cold facts, and still they try to Xerox
Leader of the new school, uncool
Never played the fool, just made the rules
Remember there's a need to get alarmed
Again I said I was a timebomb
In the daytime the radio's scared of me
'Cause I'm mad, plus I'm the enemy
They can't c'mon and play with me in primetime
'Cause I know the time, plus I'm gettin' mine
I get on the mix late in the night
They know I'm livin' right, so here go the mike, sike
Before I let it go, don't rush my show
You try to reach and grab and get elbowed
Word to herb, yo if you can't swing this
Just a little bit of the taste of the bass for you
As you get up and dance at the LQ
When some deny it, defy if I swing bolos
Then they clear the lane I go solo
The meaning of all of that
Some media is the whack
You believe it's true, it blows me through the roof
Suckers, liars get me a shovel
Some writers I know are damn devils
For them I say don't believe the hype
Yo Chuck, they must be on a pipe, right?
Their pens and pads I'll snatch
'Cause I've had it
I'm not an addict fiendin' for static
I'll see their tape recorder and grab it
No, you can't have it back silly rabbit
I'm going' to my media assassin
Harry Allen, I gotta ask him
Yo Harry, you're a writer, are we that type?
Don't believe the hype
I got flavor and all those things you know
Yeah boy, part two bum rush and show
Yo Griff, get the green black red and
Gold down countdown to Armageddon
88 you wait the S1Ws will

Back
Indietro
Caught you lookin' for the same thing
Ti ho beccato a cercare la stessa cosa
It's a new thing, check out this I bring
È una cosa nuova, guarda cosa porto
Uh Oh the roll below the level
Uh Oh il rotolo sotto il livello
'Cause I'm livin' low next to the bass, c'mon
Perché vivo basso accanto al basso, dai
Turn up the radio
Alza la radio
They claim that I'm a criminal
Dicono che io sia un criminale
By now I wonder how
Ora mi chiedo come
Some people never know
Alcune persone non lo sanno mai
The enemy could be their friend, guardian
Il nemico potrebbe essere il loro amico, guardiano
I'm not a hooligan
Non sono un teppista
I rock the party and
Faccio saltare la festa e
Clear all the madness, I'm not a racist
Pulisco tutta la follia, non sono un razzista
Preach to teach to all
Predico per insegnare a tutti
'Cause some they never had this
Perché alcuni non l'hanno mai avuto
Number one, not born to run
Numero uno, non nato per correre
About the gun
Sul fucile
I wasn't licensed to have one
Non avevo la licenza per averne uno
The minute they see me, fear me
Appena mi vedono, mi temono
I'm the epitome, a public enemy
Sono l'epitome, un nemico pubblico
Used, abused without clues
Usato, abusato senza indizi
I refused to blow a fuse
Mi rifiuto di saltare i fusibili
They even had it on the news
Lo avevano anche sulle notizie
Don't believe the hype
Non credere all'hype
Yes
Sì
Was the start of my last jam
Era l'inizio del mio ultimo jam
So here it is again, another def jam
Quindi eccolo di nuovo, un altro def jam
But since I gave you all a little something
Ma da quando ti ho dato un po' di qualcosa
That we knew you lacked
Che sapevamo ti mancava
They still consider me a new jack
Mi considerano ancora un new jack
All the critics you can hang 'em
Tutti i critici potete impiccarli
I'll hold the rope
Io terrò la corda
But they hope to the pope
Ma sperano nel papa
And pray it ain't dope
E pregano che non sia droga

Don't tell me that you understand
Non dirmi che capisci

The book of the new school rap game
Il libro del nuovo gioco rap scolastico
Writers treat me like Coltrane, insane
Gli scrittori mi trattano come Coltrane, pazzo
Yes to them, but to me I'm a different kind
Sì per loro, ma per me sono un tipo diverso
We're brothers of the same mind, unblind
Siamo fratelli della stessa mente, non ciechi
Caught in the middle and
Preso nel mezzo e
Not surrenderin'
Non mi arrendo
I don't rhyme for the sake of of riddlin'
Non faccio rime per il gusto di farle
Some claim that I'm a smuggler
Alcuni sostengono che io sia un contrabbandiere
Some say I never heard of 'ya
Alcuni dicono che non hanno mai sentito parlare di te
A rap burglar, false media
Un rapinatore di rap, falsi media
We don't need it do we?
Ne abbiamo bisogno?
It's fake that's what it be to 'ya, dig me?
È falso, è quello che ti sembra, capisci?
Don't believe the hype
Non credere all'hype
Don't believe the hype, its a sequel
Non credere all'hype, è un sequel
As an equal, can I get this through to you
Come un uguale, posso farlo capire a te
My 98's boomin' with a trunk of funk
Il mio 98 sta esplodendo con un bagagliaio di funk
All the jealous punks can't stop the dunk
Tutti i punk gelosi non possono fermare il dunk
Comin' from the school of hard knocks
Proveniente dalla scuola dei colpi duri
Some perpetrate, they drink Clorox
Alcuni fingono, bevono Clorox
Attack the black, 'cause I know they lack exact
Attaccano il nero, perché so che mancano esattamente
The cold facts, and still they try to Xerox
I fatti freddi, e ancora cercano di Xerox
Leader of the new school, uncool
Leader della nuova scuola, non cool
Never played the fool, just made the rules
Non ho mai fatto il buffone, ho solo fatto le regole
Remember there's a need to get alarmed
Ricorda che c'è bisogno di allarmarsi
Again I said I was a timebomb
Di nuovo ho detto che ero una bomba a orologeria
In the daytime the radio's scared of me
Di giorno la radio ha paura di me
'Cause I'm mad, plus I'm the enemy
Perché sono arrabbiato, più sono il nemico
They can't c'mon and play with me in primetime
Non possono venire a giocare con me in prima serata
'Cause I know the time, plus I'm gettin' mine
Perché conosco l'ora, più sto prendendo il mio
I get on the mix late in the night
Arrivo sul mix tardi nella notte
They know I'm livin' right, so here go the mike, sike
Sanno che sto vivendo bene, quindi ecco il microfono, sike
Before I let it go, don't rush my show
Prima di lasciarlo andare, non affrettare il mio spettacolo
You try to reach and grab and get elbowed
Cerchi di raggiungere e afferrare e prendi un gomito
Word to herb, yo if you can't swing this
Parola all'erba, yo se non riesci a far oscillare questo
Just a little bit of the taste of the bass for you
Solo un po' del sapore del basso per te
As you get up and dance at the LQ
Mentre ti alzi e balli al LQ
When some deny it, defy if I swing bolos
Quando alcuni lo negano, sfidano se dondolo bolos
Then they clear the lane I go solo
Poi sgombrano la corsia vado solo
The meaning of all of that
Il significato di tutto questo
Some media is the whack
Alcuni media sono scadenti
You believe it's true, it blows me through the roof
Ci credi, mi fa saltare il tetto
Suckers, liars get me a shovel
Succhiasangue, bugiardi dammi una pala
Some writers I know are damn devils
Alcuni scrittori che conosco sono dannati diavoli
For them I say don't believe the hype
Per loro dico non credere all'hype
Yo Chuck, they must be on a pipe, right?
Yo Chuck, devono essere su una pipa, giusto?
Their pens and pads I'll snatch
Le loro penne e i loro blocchi li strapperò
'Cause I've had it
Perché ne ho avuto abbastanza
I'm not an addict fiendin' for static
Non sono un drogato in cerca di statica
I'll see their tape recorder and grab it
Vedo il loro registratore e lo afferro
No, you can't have it back silly rabbit
