Grave Error

Ah, that's how it's done
That's how it's lived
Here in the ghetto, ah
What's up my people?, ah
No, it can't go on, you
Yo' B, ah, Melanin
How is it?

Ah-na-na-na-na-na-na
Nonsense, punches and kicks
Impotent, I can't do anything
On the other block, the crossing
The ambush is planned
Nonsense, punches and kicks
Impotent, I can't do anything
On the other block, the crossing
The ambush is planned

What am I accused of?
Why do you poke me with your baton?
What's the problem, the jump, the issue, what's the excuse?
I'm not fluff, nor skirmish, nor owl
I'm just the guy who always crosses this block
Why do you come to me with sticks and hoods?
I'm a singer
In my own story, making art
I'm a bastion of hip-hop

You deny
That you're a bandit and that you hit
That you're a killer and you blind yourself with your victims
That you're in charge in this area of the delivery
You always have more than normal
Than usual (Ah-ah)
Of the personal dose
Don't tell me no because I'll hit you again

I'm not who they think I am
You're confusing me, sir
You're making a serious mistake
I'm Melanin, the poet of the street
I'm from here, I'm from the Valley
You just abuse the authority that gives you
That uniform and that gun, man (Ha)
You know it's illegal and you can't hit me
What's the arrest warrant?
What's your excuse?
It's not my fault that you're upset

Ha, ha, shitty poet
Let's see if you don't end up singing a lot of ranchera
(Put him in the van!)

Ah-na-na-na-na-na-na
Nonsense, punches and kicks
Impotent, I can't do anything
On the other block, the crossing

Nonsense, punches and kicks
Impotent, I can't do anything

They put handcuffs on me like a real criminal
Or absent inmate, like a psychopath, demented
I'm not who they think I am
You're confusing me, sir
You're making a serious mistake
Blow to the knee
Punches in the face, slap on the cheek
Oh, vile gang dirty gangsters
I look one in the face to see if he gets it
The world is small and I find myself on the shore
Sooner or later we'll meet, got it?

Give me your contacts, with exact names
What are your plans, what are your artifacts?
I'll crush your hands, if you don't sing now, lizard
I'll make you eat the grass
I'll spend all my ammunition on your chest (I'm fed up)
Spit out what you know, lizard (Spit)

What's up, officer? I'm not
You know!
I don't know anything
Tell me how much you know?

Ah-na-na-na-na-na-na
Nonsense, punches and kicks
Impotent, I can't do anything

What are you going to do now that I find you face to face?
You with your gun taped and me with my martial in hand
Kick my ass like you did that summer
Rat, worm, dirty villain
You knew I would find you sooner or later
You injured my hands
You stepped on my mother's and my siblings' hope
You threw my self-esteem to the ground
You played with my children's dish
And you're still so calm and normal, so natural
And I haven't been able to forget that trauma
The cries for mercy (No more, no more!)
I'm not who you're looking for

Excuse me, it wasn't my fault, it was a mistake

Are you babbling?
Now if you feel fear, gonorrhea
Are you peeing?
Are you trembling?
You cry to me, you beg me, your tears are foreign
Didn't you feel very macho with your hyena gang?
You're screwed
Dirty in sin
I'm going to charge you for all the abuse you've done to me
It's nothing personal, it's a business matter, partner
It's not leisure
You gave me, I give you
You looked for me, here I am
I don't know how I'll do it but I'll get revenge
One by one I'll find them (Eh)
I cried for you, I begged you
And you didn't want to listen
Serious mistake, fatal error
