Текст песни: Peace Of Mind + перевод

(Yesterday was bad, today was not much better

Tomorrow may not bring much better news

But since you can’t erase it

Just force yourself to face it

And you can win, you haven’t much to lose)

(If you don’t have peace of mind, you can come to one conclusion

One day you’ll find yourself in a mental institution

Dig me) --] S.O.U.L

(Can you hear me?)

(Yes mother)

(Okay then, I’ll tell you)

(Be quick about it)

(I told you explain yourself to me, young man)

I’m different, I’m not your average MC

They put me down but in secret they envy

They can’t accept the simple fact I’m not a thug

Blastin up an addict for some coke and some drugs

This isn’t gangsterism, I prefer to be smart

I don’t follow crowds, I act straight from the heart

Use my own mind, I’m not influenced by another man

I’m livin proof that a brother can

Learn from his own self, stick with one program

And have the gall to raise hell with a dope jam

To perplex the crowd, that’s how I hit ya

Not a riffer nor a sniffer but the giver of a scripture

Demandin that the violence stop

Gain intelligence, stop (?) your crew’s block

Cause the way I live I’m doin fine

Don’t try to criticize, boy, give me some peace of mind

(Gotta have peace of mind) --] S.O.U.L

(We got to have it) --] James Brown

(Can you hear me?)

(Gotta have peace of mind)

(How long will it take?)

(What's the answer?)

(Gotta have peace of mind)

(Do you feel the force?)

(Yes)

(Gotta have peace of mind)

(Come on now) --] Chuck D

(Okay)

(I told you explain yourself to me, young man)

My peace of mind is influential

I got potential and I think that I was meant to

Be upon the microphone, speakin some knowledge, then

Remind you all we’re from the same origin

We gotta get past the stage of stereotypin

Your color shouldn’t matter if you keep the crowd hype and

That’s my opinion, I guess that’s my prerogative

Just let me finish and you’ll see I got a lot to give

Cause I’m a superstar walkin with a hit song

(We're makin dollars, so you know they’re on the tip, Jawn)

They’re called groupies, they’re after that one thing

They’ll try to play ya for a big fat diamond ring

I’m sorry honey, I work hard for my dollars

You wanna try to get with it? Yo Force (Don't bother)

Cause in our world you’ll just get left behind

Next time you gotta remember you have to have a peace of mind

(Gotta have peace of mind)

(We got to have it)

(Can you hear me?)

(Gotta have peace of mind)

(How long will it take?)

(What's the answer?)

(Gotta have peace of mind)

(Do you feel the force?)

(Yes)

(Gotta have peace of mind)

(Come on now)

(Okay)

(Listen to me, we ain’t got too much time

You got to have some, you got to have) --] S.O.U.L

Now what’s this, you’re sayin hip-hop isn’t music?

Then why do so many rap fans choose it?

They’re impressed by the beat and the rhyme track

And if you suckers paid attention you would find that

There are many styles, simple and complicated

This one’s simple, when I’m complex I’m top-rated

I choose to chill on this song to get across

A basic message — I hold it, then let it off

Many complain that you can’t dance to a rap rhythm

I prove 'em wrong — I just smack, hit 'em

With a couple of beats to make their hands clap

And when I’m finished they’ll admit that the jam’s packed

And if you don’t, who gives a hell about you, brother?

Too strong is the hip-hop culture

So if you don’t like it, yo, well that’s fine

Respect my feelings, boy, give me some peace of mind

(Gotta have peace of mind)

(Let the hate decrease and like increase the peace) --] Big Daddy Kane

(Gotta have peace of mind)

(Stop the violence and kick the science) --] D-Nice

(Gotta have peace of mind)

(How wonderful)

(That's pretty good)

Yo Top Choice, why don’t you 'em where you’re comin from, boyeee…

Go (Boston)

Go

Go Boston

You said we wouldn’t last, hah, what a statement

Laughin up a storm when you put our tape in

But now we made it and you still try to diss

Because you’re stuck with the crews who can’t produce any hits

My son, you’ll learn a lesson when you listen to our music

Use it as an artform, and don’t abuse it

We stand together to get the point across

That when we rhyme with a message, that doesn’t make us soft

We’re creative, just like a genius

Shock the crowd, in the past you have seen this

Hip-hop song with a message that’s negative

Cool and smooth, this jam is like a sedative

I stand strong, never soft (?)

Step with the rep and I beat with a horse whip

I give you a chance to what you sought you can find

Next time you gotta remember you have a have a peace of mind

(Gotta have peace of mind)

Yo Force, check it out, man

It goes like this, like

It’s like

Jawn P, he’s got to have a peace of mind

MC Force, he’s gotta have a peace of mind

Master G, he’s gotta have a peace of mind

(Name), yo, he’s gotta have a peace of mind

(Name), he’s gotta have a peace of mind

(Name), she gotta have a peace of mind

My girl Steph, she gotta have a peace of mind

(Name), they gotta have a peace of mind

Mick Mick, he has to have a peace of mind

Yo Boston

Yo, we got a peace of mind
