Aujourd’hui, on change un peu de style musical. J’écoute cette chanson depuis 3 mois dans un de mes nombreux onglets YouTube et en allumant la télévision hier, je me suis aperçu que c’était devenu totalement mainstream. So much for letting the cat out of the bag!
Voici donc un peu de hip-hop avec Macklemore – de son vrai nom Ben Haggerty -, né en 1983 à Seattle dans l’État de Washington, un rappeur américain d’origine irlandaise :
Paroles
[Hook: Wanz]
I’m gonna pop some tags, only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I’m, I’m, I’m hunting, looking for a come up, this is fucking awesome
[Verse One: Macklemore]
Now walk into the club like “What up?! I got a big cock!”
Nah, I’m just pumped, I bought some shit from the thrift shop
Ice on the fringe is so damn frosty
The people like “Damn, that’s a cold ass honky”
Rolling in hella deep, headed to the mezzanine
Dressed in all pink except my gator shoes, those are green
Draped in a leopard mink, girl standing next to me
Probably should’ve washed this, smells like R.Kelly sheets
Piss
But shit, it was 99 cents
Buy it, coppin’ it, washin’ it, ‘bout to go and get some compliments
Passing up on those moccasins someone else has been walking in
Bummy and grungy, fucking it, I am stunting and flossing and
Saving my money and I’m hella happy, that’s a bargain bitch
I’ma take your grandpa’s style, I’ma take your grandpa’s style
No for real, ask your grandpa, can I have his hand-me-downs?
Velour jumpsuit and some house slippers
Dookie Brown leather jacket that I found digging
They had a broken keyboard, I bought a broken keyboard
I bought a skeet blanket, then I bought a knee board
Hello, hello, my ace man, my mellow
John Wayne ain’t got nothing on my fringe game, hell no
I could take some Pro Wings, make them cool, sell those
The sneaker heads would be like “Ah, he got the Velcros”
[Hook x2]
I’m gonna pop some tags, only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I’m, I’m, I’m hunting, looking for a come up, this is fucking awesome
[Verse Two: Macklemore]
What you know about rocking a wolf on your noggin?
What you knowing about wearing a fur fox skin?
I’m digging, I’m digging, I’m searching right through that luggage
One man’s trash, that’s another man’s come up
Thank your granddad for donating that plaid button-
Up shirt, ‘cause right now, I’m up in hurr stuntin’
I’m at the Goodwill, you can find me in the (Uptons)
I’m that, I’m that sucker searchin’ in that section (Uptons)
Your grammy, your aunty, your momma, your mammy
I’ll take those flannel zebra jammies, second hand and I’ll rock that motherfucker
The built-in onesie with the socks on the motherfucker
I hit the party and they stop in that motherfucker
They be like “Oh that Gucci, that’s hella tight”
I’m like “Yo, that’s fifty dollars for a t-shirt”
Limited edition, let’s do some simple addition
Fifty dollars for a t-shirt, that’s just some ignorant bitch shit
I call that getting swindled and pimped, shit
I call that getting tricked by business
That shirt’s hella dope
And having the same one as six other people in this club is a hella don’t
Peep game, come take a look through my telescope
Trying to get girls from a brand? Then you hella won’t
Man you hella won’t, man you hella won’t
[Hook]
I’m gonna pop some tags, only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I’m, I’m, I’m hunting, looking for a come up, this is fucking awesome
[Bridge x2: Wanz]
I wear your granddad’s clothes, I look incredible
I’m in this big ass coat from that thrift shop down the road
[Hook]
I’m gonna pop some tags, only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I’m, I’m, I’m hunting, looking for a come up, this is fucking awesome
This is fucking awesome.
