melle mel hat in diesem
langen track über vieles gerappt - über den zustand der menschen und der welt, über leben und tod, liebe und schmerz, frieden, krieg, graffiti, ghettos, ausbeutung, tod - und über die zukunft... |
grandmaster melle mel + the furious five:
|
für alle interessierten
drucken wir hier den text ab, wie ihn melle mel im film "beat street" rappt** |
"then serenades of blue and red and the
beauty of the rainbow fills your head -
crescendo colors playin' tunes -
man why oh why d'ya have to die so
soon?" |
"where the colors would swirl
and the boys and girls can grow in peace and harmony - and where murals stand on walls so grand, as far as the eyes are able to see, ha" |
"so just throw your
hands in the air, and wave 'em like you just don't care. and if you believe that you're the future, scream it out and say oh yeah (oh yeah) oh yeah (oh yeah) rrrhaa!" |
"bums on the sidewalk,
garbage in the street -
abandoned buildings,
bricks of concrete. the ladies on the corner are sellin' their body, and everybody wants a part in that party" |
"i'm hangin out tough rockin' late at
night -
runnin' wild in the town of the neon
lights. you either play some ball or stand in the hall. huh, you gotta make somethin' out of nothin' at all" |
"the heart of a lion and the
courage of three, and the mind of a man much wiser than me. you're the soul of the brother who won't come back - who died in my arms on the railroad track" |
"there's pie in the sky and
a eye for a eye.some people gotta die just to be free. - you search for justice and what do you find? you find just us on the unemployment line.
you find just us sweatin'
from dawn to dusk..." |
"so after this there'll be no more hard time, no
more bad times and no more pain - no more chump change*, none of that bull, just movies, museums and the hall of fame |
"everybody let's sing
along, now come on
and say hooo (hooo) -
say hooo (hooo). and to let me know i'm rockin' the microphone, everybody say Ramo (Ramo) Ramo (Ramo)
rrrrhaa!"
|
"rhe ruthless struggle, the desperate gamble.
the game that left the whole world in shambles -
the cheats, the lies, the alibis - and the foolish attempts to conquer the skies..." |
"there's gold in the street and there's
diamonds under feet - and the children in africa don't even eat..." |
juli 2012
|
"a fight for power, a nuclear shower, a people shout out in the darkest hour. sights
unseen and voices unheard, and finally the bomb gets the last word..." |
"christians killed muslims
and germans killed jews -
and everybody's bodies are
used and abused..." |
"huh, minds are poisoned
and souls are polluted - superiority complex is deep- rooted. leeches and lices, and people got prices, egomaniacs control the self- righteous. nothin' is sacred and nothin' is pure - so the revelation of death is our cure" |
deutsche truppen wieder einmal an der ostfront -
diesmal in afghanistan |
"cause the children of
Man inherit the land,
and the future of the
world is in your hands..." |
"BEAT STREET BREAKDOWN"
|
"well, a picture can express a thousand words
to describe all the beauty of life you give - and if the world was yours to do over, i know
you'd paint a better place to live" |
"i never knew art till I saw your face
and there'll never be one to take your
place
'cause each and every time you touch
a spraypaint can,
michelangelo's soul controls your
hand" |
"tell me who's gonna dream the impossible dream of the beautiful cities
and the island schemes -
when your works of art brought into being all that the ghetto stopped you
from seeing" |
"then serenades of blue and red and the beauty
of the rainbow fills your head" |
"i'm sittin' in the classroom learnin' the rules.
and it says you can't do graffiti in school - that can't be wrong in the hallowed hall, so my notebook turned into a brick wall" |
"so all you hip-hops,
get on up, and let's take it to the top where we belong. cause the age of the beat street wave is here..." |
"a newspaper burns in the sand, and the headlines say 'Man Destroys Man', extra
extra, read all the bad news - on the war for peace that everybody would lose,
the rise and fall, the last great empire the sound of the whole world caught on fire..."
|
"still life, urban masterpiece - your trademark was written on trains and walls.
a million dollar gift only God released. "huh, and yet you got killed for nothin' at
all..." |
"I'm talkin' about ashes to ashes and dust to dust, where the good die young it's all
thy must - 'cause as life must live, death must die and the tear shall fall from the living eye, huh!" |
"cause we gotta suffer
while things get rougher - and that's the reason why we got to get tougher..." |
"dachau, auschwitz,
hiroshima, vietnam, leningrad, iwo jima, okinawa, korea, the philippines - devast
ation, death, cash for
the killing machine..."
|
"peoples in terror, the
leaders made a error - and now they can't even look in the mirror..." |
"so learn from the past and
work for the future - snd don't be a slave to no computer" |
melles mels worte wirken heute
aktueller und visionärer denn je |

"beat street, the king of the beat - you see him
rockin' that beat from across the street" |
"say it 1,2,3,4 - just let me know what you came here for. and just clap your hands
everybody, and let me know i'm not alone. and if you knew my main man when he was alive, scream it out and say RAMO! (RAMO)" |

"and huh huh, beat street is a lesson too -
because ah, you can't let the streets beat you. uh!" |
"cause i'm caught in a rat race lookin' for my own space -
it gotta be a better place for you and me
|

|
"there's no justice,
it's, huh, just us" |
"lost in space, and what is it
worth? huh, the president just forgot about earth. spendin' multi-billions and maybe even trillions - the cost of weapons ran in the zillions..." |
"flies on their faces, they're livin' like mice, and their
houses even make the ghetto look nice. - huh, the water tastes funny, it's forever too sunny, and they work all month and don't make no money..." |
