Budgie - The Baddest [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Tell somebody, tell somebody what I’m goin’ preach about tonight
Just tell em, say “Jesus”
[Crowd repeats] Jesus
“Is the baddest man”
[Crowd repeats]
In the whole darn town
[Crowd repeats]
Now reach over an tell somebody that
That… that that Jesus
Is the baddest man
In the whole darn town

I don’t want you to prejudge nuttin
I want you to go with me all the way
And.. if you would pardon my colloquial expression
This is… this is really black colloquialism
Uhh Baddest man in the whole darn town
Uhh of course for the young folk here
Uhh who little more in touch with a lot of things that’s been going on
And can understand what I’m say “bad” they understand what I’m talking bout
[Singing: Wade in the water]
They know I’m not talking bout Jesus is evil or mean
[Singing: Wade in the water, children]
Or the normal things that we associate with being bad
[Singing: Wade in the water]
You see black folk have a language all of their own
And we don’t talk like nobody else
[Singing: Wade in the water]
And it’s hard for folks to talk like us
[Singing: Wade in the water, children]
There used to be a time when the teacher used to get on me all the time bout saying ain’t
[Singing: Wade in the water]
But they just couldn't stop me from saying ain’t
[Singing: God’s gonna trouble the water]
So they found out they couldn’t stop a whole lot of us from saying ain’t
[Singing: Wade in the water]
So they decided if they couldn’t lick us they’d join us and now ain’t is in the dictionary
[Singing: Wade in the water, children]
Ya’ll ain't listenin to me
[Singing: Wade in the water]
You see so we have turned things around
[Singing: God’s gonna trouble...]

Where it used to mean one thing but nowadays they mean another
