Scarecrow Blues Hip Hop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
In the bible it was written that bread in the wine good
Today what need the people were addicted about food
When you walking down the street
They show you how to live
They told us where to go
They told us where to sleep
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
They told a bring next how to room
But they told me to buy more
Even when i'm strated alone
They told me to buy more
They trap for left me for that
But they told me to buy again
They stare me a rounded head
In (Ce-pla) me to buy again
Everybody know that young people is crying every morning
Because they got to go to school, or because they got no future
My mom is from a génération were come for this king for sure
And mens find a solution. The less is more.
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
Comme accablé sur l'canapé,
Rempli d'idée prémachée
Mon âme se noit dans l'flot
D'infos éditées par ma télé
Au coeur d'un monde d'image
Pourquoi j'me sens tant ésseulé?
Pour sûr les contenus ne sont que
Tant de cerveaux embrumés
Notre seul chois: la façon dont on peut consommer
S'consumer à p'tit feu et voir son monde s'étriquer
Se sentir l'seul but d'un système sans avenir
Qui créer l'besoin et qui n'a jamais eu de fiable vision du devenir
Certains tentent un autre chemin
Ceux-ci sont des "bons-à-rien"
Dans l'oeil de la masse "travaille, famille" est seul et unique refrain
Sous prétexte de progrès les mentalités régressent
Les cerveaux saturent, enfonce-toi dans une bouillabaisse
On travaille donc on n'pense pas
Tendue sera la fin d'mois
La pub matraque l'encéphale forçant l'découvert de surcroit
Pour s'faire plaisir avec le dernier produit que tous s'arrachent
Qui donnera un éphemer sentiment d'classe.
Les annonceurs vendent du rêve
Dans la souffrance en fond de trêve
Quadry-bipède de la bassecourt mondiale
Jusqu'à la gerbe.
Persuadé d'être meilleur on épie son voisin
Certain d'être premier, d'être lumière sur tout chemin
Dés l'enfance tous formatés, par des idées et une culture
Une propagande bien rodée qui d'puis bien longtemps perdure
On dira qu'j'suis enragé, on dira qu'j'suis une ordure
Je dirais qu'on a tous le chois d'lutter contre nos tortures
Bien loin de tout extrêmismes
Fondé sur notre concentrisme
J'ai mal au quotidien d'voir les médias viser de fausses cibles
Vécu par l'audimate et non par la réalitée
Le fait-divert fais voile à la formation d'ininteret
Pour mieux sauver notre propre dale
On aiguise les centres-commercials
Malgrès nous on est tous convertis à cette vision vénale
Au fond d'un rayon ma compulsion s'est réveillée,
Je n'ai pas d'autre choix que de t'acheter.
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
Well i ain't got no choice, ain't got
Ain't got no choice, ain't got
I ain't got no choice but buying you
The lyrics to Scarecrow's song "Evil and Crossroads" address the concept of choice or lack thereof in a society that places significant emphasis on consumerism. The opening lines state that the singer does not have a choice but to buy what is being sold to them, emphasizing the idea that society has conditioned and confined individuals to certain choices. The following lines make reference to religion, with the mention of bread and wine in the Bible, but highlights the ultimate need for food in today's world.
The verses go on to describe how individuals are taught how to live, where to go, and where to sleep, suggesting a lack of agency and autonomy. The repetition of the phrase "I ain't got no choice but buying you" reinforces this theme of being trapped in a cycle of consumerism. The last verse is in French, and it touches on the effects of media on the individual, referencing how people are bombarded with images and ideas that shape their perception of reality. The lyrics also highlight the pressure society puts on individuals to conform, to work hard, and to consume more.
Overall, the song speaks to the struggles of navigating a society that places a high value on consumerism and conformity. The lyrics emphasize the challenges individuals face in trying to find their own path while being bombarded with messages that tell them what to think, what to do, and what to buy.
