Underground es Hood Frames
Blowin Up es growing up
Coffee y un maca de Haze
‘Walk on by’, Isaac Hayes
Siempre tuve clase, ey
¿Que miráis? ¿Qué queréis?
Poppin E-SGN
A rappers pives que son Hoes
P-I-M, P-I-N’
Look who's under me right now
Fuera del barrio por un fín
Fin del game:
Me he cansao de ostias
It belongs to me
2000 and 14
Number three, Hella’ trap
Pasé por casa de Jack
37: lujo y green
Rappers are callin’ , and Im hanging out
No es tanto pedir, be original
And I won't even go that far
Me piden silencio and I’m fucking loud
Si te canta el pozo yo como de lao’
¿Tú un originator? Si me lo has copiao’
Hoy te vas calentito pa kel
N I know my Résumé speaks on me
N If you trynna stay real u feel lonely
Mapas de Europa de colores incoming
Incoming, coming, coming cash
We counting the income porque mami no nos paga el dope
Antes eras rancio y de repente ahora te cago yo
C.I.O., We the team
El game pa’ mí, but on the low
Intentas imitar mi voz y se hace complicado no?
Champagne over me, I ain’t even sippin, G
New Tee, old taste
Bitch, I'm Jay Rock ‘cause I win
Win-win Only win
Parece que no hay final
Deja de cotillear, hashtag #putasdeinstagram
Hard is declarations out of my mouth y no me siento mal
Ná de negociar mi sueldo, háblalo con Ele Kha
13 años rapeando pa que me vengas tú a torear
¡Anda ya!
Rappers are callin’ , and Im hanging out
No es tanto pedir, be original
And I won't even go that far
Me piden silencio and I’m fucking loud
Si te canta el pozo yo como de lao’
¿Tú un originator? Si me lo has copiao’.
Hoy te vas calentito pa kel
N I know my Résumé speaks on me
N If u trynna stay real u feel lonely
Mapas de Europa de colores incoming
Incoming, coming, coming cash
The song "Speak" by the Resistance is a rapid and powerful rap in which the two vocalists, Jay Rock and Freddie Gibbs, each deliver snippets of their respective rhymes. The song begins with Freddie Gibbs' loose, almost stuttering flow, which depicts his confidence and lyrical skills. The lyrics are reminiscent of his freestyle style, including braggadocio, allusions to drugs and money, and confrontational statements toward other rappers. Jay Rock then takes over, delivering rhymes at a faster pace and with greater wordplay. He taunts other rappers with lines such as "Bitch, I'm Jay Rock 'cause I win" and "Win-win Only win." The song is loaded with metaphors, similes, and cultural references, showcasing the artists' command of language and style.
The lyrics of "Speak" bring up the theme of originality versus imitation. The two rappers delve into what it means to be authentic in the hip-hop industry and criticize those who simply copy or borrow the style of others. They do so by throwing jabs and making sarcastic comments at other rappers, emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself by creating original work.
