یادتون هست توی چند پست قبل راجع به الویس پریسلی و Ghetto شیکاگو نوشتم و این حقیقت که الویس تنها به درد فقر اشاره کرده و خبری از چاره و درمان در شعر In The Ghetto او نیست
چند روز پیش آهنگی شنیدم دو صدایی از [Jay-Z] و [Eminem] به نام Renegade به معنی یاغی ِ بدعت گذار. دو نفری از Ghetto دیترویت می خوانند و فقر موجود در شهری که قلب صنایع ماشین سازی امریکا به شمار می رود و هم جی زی و هم امینم از درون آن بیرون آمدند و با گوشت و پوست و استخوان فقر و تبعیض را در میان کارگران بزرگ ترین صنایع اتومبیل سازی دنیا تجربه کردند. آنها به درد فقر اشاره می کنند ولی راهی نیز برای برون رفت از آن ارائه می کنند که همان بدعت است
این Renegade یک شخصیت منفی به معنای معمول کلمه نیست و بیشتر بار مثبت دارد و با آدم های بد داستان فرق زیادی دارد.
ترانه با صدای جی زی شروع می شود و شکایت از انسان های سطحی نگر که در Ghetto فقط فقر را می بینند و از ترانه ها فقط دینگ دینگ را می شنوند و از معنی شعر ها چیزی دستگیرشان نمی شود. بعد هم به معرفی خودش می پردازد و می گوید من یکی از همان کودکانی هستم که شما دولتمردان از ترس حتی به خود زحمت نگاه کردن به او ندادید و حالا از برکت بوروکراسی و عدم رسیدگی تبدیل به یک یاغی شده ام و هیچ یقه سفید کراواتی را در حریم خویش راه نمی دهم چرا که پای مسئولان در کفش های ما جا نمی شود و .......
[Jay-Z]
say that I'm foolish I only talk about jewels bling bling
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it
See I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined
That same dude you gave nothin', I made somethin doin'
what I do through and through and
I give you the news - with a twist it's just his ghetto point-of-view
The renegade; you been afraid
I penetrate pop culture, bring 'em a lot closer to the block where they
pop toasters, and they live with they moms
Got dropped roasters, from botched robberies niggaz crotched over
Mommy's knocked up cause she wasn't watched over
Knocked down by some clown when child support knocked
No he's not around - now how that sound to ya, jot it down
I bring it through the ghetto without ridin 'round
hidin down duckin strays from frustrated youths stuck in they ways
Just read a magazine that f*cked up my day
How you rate music that thugs with nothin relate to it
I help them see they way through it - not you
Can't step in my pants, can't walk in my shoes
Bet everything you worth; you lose your tie and your shirt
بعد امنم ادامه می دهد و می گوید با آن که او سیاست مدار نیست ولی قادر است بهتر از هر کس دیگر و بویژه مسئولان دولتی درد بچه های گتو را بفهمد٬ چرا که با آن ها بزرگ شده و کودکان بهتر به حرف های او گوش می دهند و به قول خودش پایش راحت در کفش آن ها جا می رود٬ تازه اگر هم جا نرود بیهوده دلیل و بهانه نمی آورد و راستش را می گوید. راست و راست گویی گویا در ینگه دنیا هم باعث دشمن تراشی می شود خریداری نداشته و حالا که امثال او از این میانه فقر و فساد سر بر آورده اند و اینک که اشعار و ترانه های آنها نظر ها را به خود جلب کرده و گوش های شنوای بسیاری را مجذوب خود نموده باز نمی گذارند تا به راحتی افکار خود را بیان کنند و انگ رواج تنفر به آن می زنند. باز می خواند و با شکوه می نالد که موسیقی من غذای روح است و موجب انبساط خاطر٬ در حالی که آنها مرا یک معتاد motherf*cker می نامند و ........
[Eminem]
Since I'm in a position to talk to these kids and they listen
I ain't no politician but I'll kick it with 'em a minute
Cause see they call me a menace; and if the shoe fits I'll wear it
But if it don't, then y'all'll swallow the truth grin and bear it
Now who's these king of these rude ludicrous lucrative lyrics
Who could inherit the title, put the youth in hysterics
Usin' his music to steer it, sharin his views and his merits
But there's a huge interference - they're sayin you shouldn't hear it
Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit
Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish
But I'm debated disputed hated and viewed in America
as a motherf*ckin drug addict - like you didn't experiment?
Now now, that's when you start to stare at who's in the mirror
and see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarrased
And I got nothin' to do but make you look stupid as parents
You f*ckin do-gooders - too bad you couldn't do good at marriage!
(Ha ha!) And do you have any clue what I had to do to get here I don't
think you do so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo
Cause here we go - he's {*Jigga joint Jigga-chk-Jigga*}
And I'm the sinister, Mr. Kiss-My-Ass it's just the
[Chorus: Eminem + Jay-Z]
[Em] RENEGADE! Never been afraid to say
what's on my mind at, any given time of day
Cause I'm a RENEGADE! Never been afraid to talk
about anything (ANYTHING) anything (ANYTHING), RENEGADE!
[Jay] Never been afraid to say
what's on my mind at, any given time of day
Cause I'm a {RENEGADE} Never been afraid to holler
about anything {anything?} Anything {ANYTHING!}
[Jay-Z]
I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles
Pockets filled with a lot of lint, not a cent
Gotta vent, lot of innocent of lives lost on the project bench
Whatchu hollerin'? Gotta pay rent, bring dollars in
By the bodega, iron under my coat, feelin braver
Doo-rag wrappin my waves up, pockets full of hope
Do not step to me - I'm awkward, I box leftier often
My pops left me an orphan, my momma wasn't home
Could not stress to me I wasn't grown; 'specially on nights
I brought somethin home to quiet the stomach rumblings
My demeanor - thirty years my senior
My childhood didn't mean much, only raisin green up
Raisin' my fingers to critics; raisin' my head to the sky
BIG I did it - multi before I die (nigga)
No lie, just know I chose my own fate
I drove by the fork in the road and went straight
[Eminem]
See I'm a poet to some, a regular modern day Shakespeare
Jesus Christ the King of these Latter Day Saints here
To shatter the picture in which of that as they paint me
as a monger of hate and Satan a scatter-brained atheist
But that ain't the case, see it's a matter of taste
We as a people decide if Shady's as bad as they say he is
Or is he the latter - a gateway to escape?
Media scapegoat, who they can be mad at today
See it's easy as cake, simple as whistlin Dixie
while I'm wavin the pistol at sixty Christians against me
Go to war with the Mormons, take a bath with the Catholics
in holy water - no wonder they try to hold me under longer
I'm a motherf*ckin spiteful, DELIGHTFUL eyeful
The new Ice Cube - motherf*ckers HATE to like you
What did I do? (huh?) I'm just a kid from the gutter
makin this butter off these bloodsuckers, cause I'm a muh'f*ckin
[Chorus] - repeat 2X
پ.ن: متن شعر را از این جا کش رفتم
پ.ن ۲: با عرض معذرت از بابت وجود برخی واژه های * دار!
پ.ن ۳: شعر بلندی است٬ باید فرصتی یافت و همه اش را ترجمه کرد. انشالله
پ.ن ۴: روی سخن با دولتمردان امریکایی است٬ لطفا به کسی بر نخورد
