לאן שאפנה מבטי [Le’an She’afne Mabati] [English translation]
[Verse 1]
I'm the "Major", on a unicorn
Sharpening my sword, giving one hell of a night, it's a standard
On the stage I'm at my prime - I'm in heaven
When the equipment goes back to the van, I wonder "What happened?"
They're spraying sand, smoke, and ashes into my eyes
And yeah, mostly I respond to this shit with "Whatever"
But everything has its peak, I'm at the seams
Don't worry, I ain't violent, we're the People of the Book
Man, this one's for those who 'bout to get their hearts stolen
With contracts that would ride upon talent and pain
That would make buildings when you're a docu-celeb
So good evening, hunters, try catching the wolf
'Cause if I'm in trouble, honey, who would help?
A slave trade in the gray market
They came in as men... they don't know me, try and stop me
You wanna face me? Just watch the movie "Saw"
'Cause like Kinley, like other shit, that too shall pass
I promised to break, I stopped counting
How many rode on my name, or just stabbed me in the back
So come on, say how you've built me
Step out into the light
And if you ask your neighbors
I've been slaying dragons
Since the 80s
So if the vibe is gray
You gotta scatter some clouds
Enough, we were silent for years
So let's take some choruses
Let the verses be fire1...
[Chorus]
Wherever I turn my back
There's someone who disses me
But I trust myself
I ain't falling, I ain't breaking
[Verse 2]
Ok, let's put things in order, fuck my brains
I signed a deal at "Dark Label", yeah "Dark Label"
With Clark Gable, who promised he's a "Star maker"
Turns out he's much worse than Darth Vader
(You're just a hater)
Emptied me up like some trash
Did nothing, meaning, took my money and tripped me over
What you took credit for? Here, have a penalty
Will there be a ceremony? 'Cause you just received your lowest of the low rank...
I won't shut my mouth just 'cause I signed some contract
'Cause if I can't complain, then what sort of rape is this?
Remember? You flexed on me back then when I was sick
So life's changing, I'm feeling great
And if you make up some more lies, and if you sue or ban
Everything will grow and grow, up and up
There's enough proof and bruised singers
For if you'd like a lesson in efficient public relations
Expensive lawyers don't impress me at all
You wanna build a case against me? Start a space exploration
Man, my heart is kind, so you guys are lucky
'Cause this round is on me and, oh! The wheel keeps turning
I was born free, thanks to the Blessed One
And if I lose at my own, at least let's save the next one
So how do you escape libel?
You add "allegedly", or maybe keep it in...
And let's get the party started
[Chorus]
Wherever I turn my back
There's someone who disses me
But I trust myself
I ain't falling, I ain't breaking
[Outro]
Wherever I turn my gaze
There's someone who lies about me
But I watch over myself
No longer afraid of anything
Up to the vibe...
I want the military social worker
To get me out of here
I want a doctor
To get me out of this
Take away my socks, which smells from being in water
Take me away...
