Translation

[Intro]
Man, I ain't stupid
Know what y'all mean
When y'all be saying that stuff on TV

[Verse 1]
Some of the things that they do in America's absurd
Racists and media got a lot of slick code words
Not everybody is able to peep out and discern 'em
So in order for you to recognize you first gotta learn 'em
When you understand the language it's easy to figure
See when they use the word thug, they really saying nigga
Got they hands on the button and they ready to push 'em
When they say terrorists all they really saying is Muslim
They get the air and start testing 'em out
Border patrol simply means keep the Mexicans out
Probation for a murder that don't seem to be right
Troubled teen with affluenza, oh that means that he white
When cops say stop resisting and you not even moving
That's an excuse to justify the brutal tactics they using
News media bias that ain't keeping us quiet
A black peaceful protest gets described as a riot

[Hook]
See we ain't gotta take that though
Can't fool me with your language I'ma break that code
Time to learn what they mean cuz you can't make them love ya
Don't know what they really saying, let me translate it for ya
Bust it up
See we ain't gotta take that though
Can't fool me with your language I'ma break that code
Time to learn what they mean cuz you can't make them love ya
Don't know what they really saying, let me translate it for ya

[Verse 2]
It's obvious whats happening when you check the comparison
Disagree with US policy, you anti-American
Listen close, to speak facts is to insult
If your organization don't cater to them it's a cult
The condition of the country, blame it all on the hood
Blacks who do crime are no good, white's misunderstood
If you challenge Jewish lies, well that's antisemitism
The word hate is used to describe criticism
Influential insinuations loaded and coded
Disagree with gay lifestyle means you homophobic
Yeah I know it, can't wait to see what happens with this
Investigation of a killer cop means slap on the wrist
We know we ain't have a chance in the first place with 'em
Speaking against discrimination is reverse racism
We hearin' 'em say it everyday but we ain't knowing it
Bring democracy to a country, that means overthrowing it

[Hook]
See we ain't gotta take that though
Can't fool me with your language I'ma break that code
Time to learn what they mean cuz you can't make them love ya
Don't know what they really saying, let me translate it for ya
Bust it up
See we ain't gotta take that though
Can't fool me with your language I'ma break that code
Time to learn what they mean cuz you can't make them love ya
Don't know what they really saying, let me translate it for ya

[Verse 3]
When they say be grateful, that means to shut up and behave
These days inmates the new word for slave
What about slick talking politicians, remember them?
Democrat and republican are actually synonyms
When they telling you they building, they really destroying
Killings enjoyment, vaccine means poison
Am I tripping or paranoid? It may be me
A slow learner means your child got ADD
So they dope him daily and tell you he crazy
If youre poor and unemployed, oh that means that you're lazy
Gotta watch 'em, cuz their skills are greater than average
If I happen to have a fight, then I'm aggressive and savage
They say police are failing, they out for a killing
Translate suspect, that's a black dude chilling
We just wanna talk to you means they probably blast
"May I help you?" in the store means I'm watching your ass

[Hook]
See we ain't gotta take that though
Can't fool me with your language I'ma break that code
Time to learn what they mean cuz you can't make them love ya
Don't know what they really saying, let me translate it for ya
Bust it up
See we ain't gotta take that though
Can't fool me with your language I'ma break that code
Time to learn what they mean cuz you can't make them love ya
Don't know what they really saying, let me translate it for ya
