Tyler a été un de mes artistes préférer pendant longtemps et sa musique est ce qui me rapproche le plus du sujet du hip-hop. Voici quelques lyrics que j’ai trouvé intéressant a travers tout ces albums.

Dans la chanson 48 de l’album Wolf, Tyler the creator joue un personnage qui vend de la drogue et il parle du sujet. L’entièreté de la chanson est intéressante c’est pourquoi je l’ai choisi. Il parle de la vente de crack dans un quartier défavorisé majoritairement noir. Il parle de la responsabilité des personnes qui vendent la drogue et ce demande si leur actions joue avec leur conscience et s’ils réalisent le dommage qu’ils font sur leur communauté. Il parle du danger que ces vendeurs vivent en fessant ce métier, de la dificulté financière qui est la raison pourquoi ils ont commencé. Il ne met pas le blâme sur l’individu mais plutôt sur le système en racontant l’histoire de quelqu’un.

lyrics de 48

Crack fucked up the world, and I wonder if they realized the damage
I mean, they come from an era who made a lot of money of that shit
I wonder if it fucked with their conscience
It fucked with me being out there, I couldn’t stand it
I couldn’t stand seeing people fucking themselves up like that on the shit
And that’s where the money came from
48, 48, 48 states I get it in
48, 48, 48 states I get it in
They call me Mr. Treat your nose
If you really need some blow
I can get it for the low
48, 48, 48 states I get it in
48, 48, 48 states I get it in
They call me Mr. Treat your nose
If you really need some blow
I can get it for the low
Shit is getting warmer on that corner
Gotta watch out for them 5-0 phoners
Your mother is a goner
I warned you before you super sized my fries with that dollar
You got a daughter, shits getting harder
The only thing you wanna bump her was your freedom
You can’t afford to get caught up but you in too deep
And the seashore ain’t soil
You got a mother, she don’t support you
But you bought her a new house cause you love her
Growing up you barely had a roof
Now you got a coupe and it doesn’t have a roof
I guess you’re accustomed to what you’re used to
So you bought two nigga
They are coming for you nigga
Niggas be hating I’m doing them bitches
Like Susan and Karen be doing your pockets
And running the man and he’s losing his fucking mind and it’s all an illusion
Who was alluding all of this potent
I am the reason your family is using and shootin’ up, it’s my fault
You can blame me motherfucker, for killin’ your aunties and uncles
The hustle and hunger, all I wanted was a cheeseburger
And a little chain, tuck, didn’t realize this game fucked up some lives
Oh how’s mine my conscience eats it up all the time
But other than that I’m fine, I got a little money in my pocket
48, 48, 48 states I get it in
48, 48, 48 states I get it in
They call me Mr. Treat your nose
If you really need some blow
I can get it for the low nigga
48, 48, 48 states I get it in
48, 48, 48 states I get it in
They call me Mr. Treat your nose
If you really need some blow
I can get it for the low
Nigga, we broke as fuck
Homie got a chop shop I sold that truck
And I sold that dope
Motherfuckers hope this nigga go broke
But like my work I give no fucks, I’m sorry
She could have been a doctor, nigga, I’m sorry
Could have been a actor and won that Oscar, said, I’m sorry
I sold that soap and I killed black folk, I’m sorry
But I got a nice car, put my sister through school
While my momma all cool, I’m sorry
I’m in too deep and I can’t see the shore, I’m sorry
You get addicted to the flip, the transaction, the hustling
Even more than the money, it’s just your job
You feel like it’s your duty to be the man in between the man
And make this happen for that person, to do this and do that
You become the go to guy forever and next thing you know you’re in too deep
Way too deep, scare the shit out of you
You wind up with so much work, that you’ll be scared to death
It’s important for us to realize man, we gotta get out of that man
Dudes is buying choppers to shoot down people that look just like them
Dudes is buying guns to take down each other, nobody wins
Ya known what I mean?
