Origineel
[Pre-Chorus: Joey Bada$$]
I just wanna be free, yeah
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
I just wanna be
I just wanna be free, yeah
I just wanna be, just wanna be
I just wanna be, just wanna be
[Chorus: Joey Bada$$]
Maybe I’m just like my brother
He’s never satisfied
Why do we shoot up each other?
This is what it sounds like, when the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah (I just wanna be, just wanna be)
[Verse 1: Joey Bada$$ & Kirk Knight]
I can’t explain the pain (oh no) all I know is chains (oh yeah)
All I know is whips, and all I know is gang gang gang (gang gang gang)
Don’t even know my name, and the place from what you came (ooh)
Niggas love to talk, but niggas never change (aw yeah, aw yeah)
Same thing, same faces on the news, this is nothin’ new
This is what we knew, we still hangin’ by the noose
It’s written in the proof, time to face the truth (no no)
Niggas never wanna execute, niggas only make excuse
[Pre-Chorus: Joey Bada$$]
I just wanna be free, yeah
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
I just wanna be
I just wanna be free, yeah
I just wanna be, just wanna be
I just wanna be, just wanna be
[Chorus: Joey Bada$$ & Raury]
Maybe I’m just like my brother (maybe I’m just like my brother)
He’s never satisfied (he’s never satisfied)
Why do we shoot up each other? (Why do we do, why do we do?)
This is what it sounds like, when the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
[Verse 2: Joey Bada$$]
Welcome to the high plane, I’m so fly
Won’t say my designer’s name, know why?
Broke gunners in the wing, shit ain’t been the same
Now we honor Jenner, James and the ring
Sweet Jesus
I pray for you non-believers
They say that you never see us
Turn around, sing “Pledge of Allegiance”
Nothin’ went with this world
What are we to do with the story?
They gotta never witness your true ways
Better play victims or new slaves
What the hell is with them kids these days?
Get ya guns, the guerillas gon’ bang
Treat us like animals in this race
Put that banana clip in your face
‘Til you wash all their problems away
I don’t plan on doin’ laundry today
What’s 50 bands to a man like me?
There’s this but your whole life just trynna pay the shit back
Can’t you see or is you blind?
Screen advertise corrupt your mind
Fill that TVs with so many lies
So many die overtime, hold so many lies, uh
[Chorus: Joey Bada$$ & Raury]
Maybe I’m just like my brother (maybe I’m just like my brother)
He’s never satisfied (he’s never satisfied)
Why do we shoot up each other? (Why do we do, why do we do?)
This is what it sounds like, when the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Joey Bada$$]
I just wanna be free, yeah
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
I just wanna be
I just wanna be free, yeah
I just wanna be, just wanna be
I just wanna be, just wanna be
[Outro: Kirk Knight]
No law, no law
Ohh Lord, ohh Lord
Vertaling
[Pre-Chorus: Joey Bada$]
I just wanna be free, yeah
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
I just wanna be
I just wanna be free, yeah
Ik wil gewoon zijn, ik wil gewoon zijn
I just wanna be, just wanna be
[Chorus: Joey Bada$]
Maybe I’m just like my brother
He’s never satisfied
Why do we shoot up each other?
This is what it sounds like, when the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah (I just wanna be, just wanna be)
[Verse 1: Joey Bada$ & Kirk Knight]
I can’t explain the pain (oh no) all I know is chains (oh yeah)
All I know is whips, and all I know is gang gang gang (gang gang gang)
Don’t even know my name, and the place from what you came (ooh)
Niggas love to talk, but niggas never change (aw yeah, aw yeah)
Same thing, same faces on the news, this is nothin’ new
Dit is wat we wisten, we hangen nog steeds aan de strop
It’s written in the proof, time to face the truth (no no)
Niggas never wanna execute, niggas only make excuse
[Pre-Chorus: Joey Bada$]
I just wanna be free, yeah
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
I just wanna be
I just wanna be free, yeah
I just wanna be, just wanna be
I just wanna be, just wanna be
[Chorus: Joey Bada$ & Raury]
Maybe I’m just like my brother (misschien ben ik net als mijn broer)
He’s never satisfied (hij is nooit tevreden)
Why do we shoot up each other? (Why do we do, why do we do?)
This is what it sounds like, when the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
[Verse 2: Joey Bada$]
Welcome to the high plane, I’m so fly
Won’t say my designer’s name, know why?
Broke gunners in the wing, shit ain’t been the same
Nu eren we Jenner, James en de ring
Lieve Jezus.
Ik bid voor jullie ongelovigen.
Ze zeggen dat jullie ons nooit zien.
Draai je om, zing “Pledge of Allegiance”
Nothin’ went with this world
Wat moeten we doen met het verhaal?
Ze zullen nooit getuige zijn van je ware wegen.
Speel liever slachtoffer of nieuwe slaaf.
Wat is er toch met die kinderen dezer dagen?
Pak je wapens, de guerrilla’s gaan knallen.
Behandel ons als beesten in deze race.
Stop die bananenclip in je gezicht
Tot je al hun problemen wegspoelt
Ik ben niet van plan om vandaag de was te doen
Wat zijn 50 banden voor een man als ik?
Er is dit, maar je hele leven probeer je gewoon de shit terug te betalen.
Zie je het niet of ben je blind?
Schermreclame corrumpeert je geest
Vul die TV’s met zoveel leugens.
So many die over time, hold so many lies, uh
[Chorus: Joey Bada$ & Raury]
Maybe I’m just like my brother (misschien ben ik net als mijn broer)
He’s never satisfied (hij is nooit tevreden)
Why do we shoot up each other? (Why do we do, why do we do?)
This is what it sounds like, when the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
When the thugs cry, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Joey Bada$]
I just wanna be free, yeah
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
I just wanna be
I just wanna be free, yeah
I just wanna be, just wanna be
I just wanna be, just wanna be
[Outro: Kirk Knight]
Geen wet, geen wet
Ohh Lord, ohh Lord
