Текст песни: Get It Straight + перевод

Some kind of shame

How people can’t seem to get along these days

Cross the hall

They bitch and moan ‘bout everything

Just cussin' while they fussin'

Right in front they children’s face

I know it ain’t right

But what’s a neighbor s’posed ta say

Lord have mercy

Bless their hearts in 302

Some folks go through their whole damn lives

Without a clue of what ta do

It’s such a pity

That life can get so sticky

It’s such a damn disgrace

That folks can’t seem to get it straight

They can’t seem to get it straight

I don’t know how it ended up this way

(I don’t know I don’t know)

One of these days we gonna get it straight

(I know we will — I know we will)

Even in the grocery

I’m shocked just by the price of cheese

Not to mention

What it cost to buy a pound a meat

Them sale signs is lyin'

Ain’t no such thing as

Buy one get one free

They just need to put them prices

Back just like they ought ta be

It ain’t customary

Or a sign of courtesy

Charging your customers

For a g' damn shopping fee

Now I’m stressin'

Lettin' this shit get to me

One more thing

What about you and me

I know we sho ain’t exempt

We got our bit of misery

Are we gonna talk about it

Work it out or stay this way

An' are we gonna listen

To what the other has to say

We about ta be history

Unless we stop to get it straight

I don’t know how it ended up this way

(I don’t know I don’t know)

One of these days we gonna get it straight

(I know we will — I know we will)

One of these days we gonna get it straight
