Brothers In Arms — текст песни

Brothers in arms…

At any time I can be seen with blood on my garms

Let the beat breathe for a minute man

Lewi White… yo, look

There’s so many shootouts

Who don’t wanna move house

But which areas peaceful?

Not many I know in the borough

I wanna go to another place

But my mind, body and soul’s in the gutter

My life’s like holes in a hummer

All eyes on me

And I still get public transport alone with a cutter

I ain’t promoting black on black crime

But it’s true my foes are of colour

I get cream 'cause I put the coke in the butter

Being devoted and suffer

They wanna see me scrimpin' and scrapin'

Or in Burger King with an apron

I’ve been snaked by my own kind

So now I’ve gotta live with the asians

Stuck in the slums…

Brothers in arms bussin' the guns

Mothers alarmed hugging their sons

And that’s why I pray…

Days are getting shorter

My wage is getting smaller

I’ma take it to the border

Fiends waiting on the corner

Feds circling the block

This place is like a sauna

It’s certainly hot

(And that’s why I blaze)

The stress is way too much

I ain’t saying that it’s best you take a drug

But me? I smoke 'til my heads green

'Til I see the world in double vision like it’s split screen

The youngers told me times have changed since I was 16

They think of big dreams

Don’t blow your brains through your windscreen

For status alone

Papers a bonus, imma aim at the vultures

So much weight on my shoulders

Who you tryna take for a donut

With a 2−2 you ain’t a grown up

I’ve seen so many bets rolled up

In a war and I go nuts

Lick somebody’s head with a golf club

Somebody’s dead when the chrome busts

What would Martin say?

What would Malcolm think?

How can we last this way?

We’ll soon be found extinct…

What would Martin say?

What would Malcolm think?

How can we last this way?

We’ll soon be found extinct…

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the

greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation

We rollin' around in tints

Won’t see me going out with a link

When it’s a one off we going out in a sprint

My own people pray for my downfall

I’m taking a mound full of bullshit!

And you know what?

I’ll feel like taking them out with a full clip

But some niggas are all lip

But some niggas are not so even the killers are cautious

We all out for the figures, the spinners and Porsches

No point sticking up paupers

I’m picking orders, break down a brick into quarters

I got a list full of ballers that show off like hit performers

My stick’s enormous

What would Martin say?

What would Malcolm think?

How can we last this way?

We’ll soon be found extinct…

What would Martin say?

What would Malcolm think?

How can we last this way?

We’ll soon be found extinct…

Stuck in the slums…

Brothers in arms bussin' the guns

Mothers alarmed hugging their sons

And that’s why I pray…

Days are getting shorter

My wage is getting smaller

I’ma take it to the border
