Why Proper English Rap Does Not Work.

This is why rap and proper English translations do not mix well…

Roll out!
By Ludacris

ORIGINAL VERSION

Roll out! Roll out! Roll out! Roll

I got my twin glock
.40s, cocked back
Me and my homies, so drop that
We rollin on twenties,
with the top back
So much money, you can't stop that
Twin glock .40s,

Me and my homies, so drop that
We rollin on twenties, with the
top back
So much money, you can't stop that

Now where'd you get that
platinum chain with them diamonds in it?
Where'd you get that matchin Benz

Who them girls you be with when you be ridin

Roll out!
TRANSLATED VERSION
Roll out! Roll out! Roll out! Roll
out!


I have my illegal automatic firearms, ready at a moments notice discharge.
My close friends and I are here, so stop whatever you are doing.
We are driving cars with larger than average rims,
with the top back, for they are all convertables.
We are very prosperous, you cannot stop that.

Now where did you get that
platinum chain with all those diamonds in it?
Where did you get that matching Mercedes Benz
with all of its windows tinted?
Who are those girls you happen to be with when you are driving
through?
Man, I do not have anything to prove, I paid my dues
Disobeying the local authorities, I “take back the money people owe me while in a tussle”, whewwwww!
Tell me who is your local narcotics dealer, how do you smoke so well?
You are a rich celebrity and well known, boy, why are do you still abide in this old neighborhood?
What in the world is in that BAG, what do you have in that BAG?
A whole lot of proverbial fighting spirit utilized to cause you harm if continue your habit of warily glancing in my direction while attempting to avoid eye contact.
