Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(And they say, and they say, and they say, and they say)

What they say, what they say now?

(They say, they say) uh-huh, uh-huh

(They say, they say, they say)

I'd like to welcome everybody out

To the Samurai

(They say, they say, they say) indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed (speak)

(And) here we go, one time, yeah

I got these really neat (really neat, really neat)

Very beautifully alliterated (very beautiful, uh)

Little battle raps for you (little battle rap, little battle rap, yeah)

I got these really neat (what you got, huh? Uh)

Very beautifully alliterated (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Little battle raps for you (talk to 'em now, c'mon), so come on through

Big eyes looking like skies in binoculars

Two nights live, singing by the Opera House

But not in it, just by it

Somewhat alongside it, a long silence

A strong, vibrant meditative song of guidance

Designed to raise eyelids, sublime, and saved assignments

With warm regards and aged kindness for today's climate

In the vein of gang violence meets the gang's demises, and it bangs

Rises like wings on a plane

Plus a pilot who can fly it into the eye of Hurricane Iris

Stylish, same shoe in different sizes

With evidences of the mileage and the growth (growth)

Top hats and coats, tuxedos and throats, where the bow ties post

Folks look past the lower-class blower of the notes

And tell unspoke jokes as they approach

Where she'll never been inside, but she hopes, yeah

I got these really neat (really neat, really neat)

Very beautifully alliterated (very beautiful) (uh)

Little battle raps for you (little battle rap, little battle rap, yeah)

I got these, really neat (really neat, yeah)

Very beautifully alliterated (what's up, what's up)

Little battle raps for you (yeah, uh, uh), so come on through

The unamplified, fantasized land of the soon-to-be fans of the samurai

Smile wide, got the panorama camera vibe

If you analyze, she's a one-woman gala, glamorized

Just without the glamour or the gala ties

Manner more alive with the jazz guys eating piano pies at the Vanguard

She's a artist and starved, a couple dollars in the band jar

Buys a half a turkey sam', organic and it's hand-carved and ours

If you ask for a piece, freshly laughed for singing jazz in the streets

And the staff asked for police (damn)

I crashed at her friend's flat for a week (for a week)

Felt at home as a raft on the beach (on the beach)

Lit a fag, took a drag, took a tea (took a tea)

Read a book, took a bath, went to sleep

I got these really neat (you know what I'm sayin'? Yeah)

Very beautifully alliterated (very beautiful, uh)

Little battle raps for you (little battle rap, little battle rap for you)

I got these really neat (really neat, really neat, ay)

Very beautifully alliterated (very beautiful, yeah)

Little battle raps for you (little battle rap), so come on through

I'd like to welcome everybody out

Yeah, to the Samurai, Samurai

Uh-huh, to the Samurai

Uh
