Illy - Seven Nation Army [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Oh Shit
Illy, M-Phazes, Friday Flips #2
White strips, Seven Nation Army
Fuck you know Phazes is going to kill this one
Add some shit written to this
I hate to change it at the last minute
Pay homage to a legend
I don't mean any disrespect I haven't done this well enough
Check it out

[Verse 1]
Fire up the DeLorean, hit the time warp
2012 Melbourne, 80's New York
Twist bottle tops, I don't pop corks
Mic is my tommy gun, pen is my sword
We could go to war, bum rush ya fort
Seven nation army couldn't hold us back with force
They all talk, so allow my retort
I do dirt but I don't get caught
Sell records but I won't be bought
Put that in your companies quarterly report
Kick raps till my voice is horse
Cool as a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce
Rhyme reason and cause, I hold all cards
And to sucka emcee’s its sabotage

[Bridge]
Just put your hands up high
And hold your lighters to the sky
And would you please make noise
This ones for the beastie boys

[Verse 2]
MCA R.I.P
Stay sucka free, I know it's all G
Cause I’ma tell you like a rapper told me
We all intergalactic planetary
But we losing our idols, times up, needle off the vinyl
Pray for an end a little less final
We seldom see timeless in this age of album cycles
Where bottom lines more vital than messages recited
They glamourise basic, for advertising space, and generations raised with televisions on
All the media portrayed with Chris Brown is basically you're able to hit women long
As you can sing a song
Mmm, nah, wrong, I ain’t having that
Young girls hear of whips and chains in Rihanna's trash
And tough guy rappers say if you ain’t a tough guy rapper
"You a faggot", Jesus caveman thanks for that
I’m fitting somewhere in the middle
Actually I’m to the side of it all, cause all they trying to score
Points off of is talk, but listen to what their saying
No substance, no thought, both sides the same
You don't need to buy into it, or give a shit
Or think because its in your face, you gotta be interested
You don't, fuck it, we all, choose
Cause while they profit, music loses
I was probably born a generation late
To the beastie boys party, but they still had a place
In my teenage life, so its only right I pay
My respects, to a caliber we hardly find these days
So rest in peace to the late MCA
Not saying he's a prophet, but this next clips from '98
Fuck the gloss and lollipop shit
How many pop culture icons drop knowledge like this...
