PRRR (1)
(Neapolitan original unavailable)
(Italian translation)
Translation by Antonio Ventresco, with Joe Sciorra and and C-Sal of DLH Posse.
Voice (with a northern accent): Look, what can I say, metrically it's beautiful, but...the language...it's...it's...incomprehensible.
Sha-One:
Sha-One (in Neapolitan): Hey, hey, in your case, did you read the text or didn't you hear me good?
Voice: Huh? What?
Sha-One: But see, I'm not doin' it anymore… Sha-One: Now bro, what makes you go "Ehh", if you don't know what it is, it's best to study stupid,
Voice: "Ahh?"
Prrr!!! Ahime, this is for you, why? So that you'll always stay quiet under me, if you understand me, good, if not, I don't give a shit if it's clear, you stay down and later I'll tease you, I swear I catch styles, but with you it's like talking to a wall, your obtuse, the wax is blocking you, and then I un-block it with sawdust, now you understand? You still don't? Go fuck youself! I give your eardrums the treatment, it goes in but nothing comes out, a washing of the cranium, you got to get whiten like Dash, I going wash out your hair dye, Idiot confess, it's not because of the slang, you don't understand either way, and it still doesn't stick even if I don't go faster, you stress me, I'm warning you, I was born lucky, but from who do you want it from? Go shit on who you killed, go back to study, I'll write this rhyme on a blackboard, if you don't understand, leave these rhymes alone, I'll never change them… Chorus:
LaFam: I'm talkin' to you!
Voice: "What?"
LaFam: Prrr!!! What up? You can't understand?
Voice: "Sorry, what?"
LaFam: Prrr!!! Hey man, you understand me or not?
Voice: "Well, can you repeat it?"
LaFam: Why not… Prrr! I said I'm talking to you!
Voice: "Ehh??"
LaFam: Prrr!!! Hey! Are you sleeping?
Voice: "Ehh??"
LaFam: Prrr!!! Mammamia! You're insistent! Here, now you see? This is for you! Prrr! Polo:
Mamma always said speaking strictly dialect is, it's an ugly thing, a defect,
Voice: "What did you say?" Polo: Prrr!!! Don't pay attention, you only understand the Internet, for you it's over, you better go to bed, you're the darling of the house, fish face! Now you got to buy yourself a Uditok and a pack of cotton-flock, because I open my mouth and shout! I split your ears, with a Bronx cheer, your hearing aid doesn't work, fuck you, you got old, tomorrow your mamma's got to take you to the ear doctor, Neapolitan sounds strange and you don't understand it, speak American the way you want, "Wassup!", but this time I'm going to kick you in the ass, you're a drag, you think you're a tough guy, I'll always laugh more at you then a skit by Gialappa (2), daddy's boy, another society is born for everybody here. incorporated, just smakcs in the face, you better grab it. Chorus:
LaFam: I'm talkin' to you!
Voice: "What?"
LaFam: Prrr!!! What up? You can't understand?
Voice: "Sorry, what?"
LaFam: Prrr!!! Hey man, you understand me or not?
Voice: "Well, can you repeat it?"
LaFam: Why not… Prrr! I said I'm talking to you!
Voice: "Ehh??"
LaFam: Prrr!!! Hey! Are you sleeping?
Voice: "Ehh??"
LaFam: Prrr!!! Mammamia! You're insistent! Here, now you see? This is for you! Prrr! LaFam: The brothers say, PRRR!!!, They razz you, PRRR!!! And quietly, they don't give a fuck, don't forgive these blockheads
Voice: Ehh?? You want me to bat my eyes?
LaFam: Ohh!! Pinhead!, I give you a Bronx cheer and smack you up side the head, I'll take you out with the gong, you're a bell going ding-dong.
Voice: I understand. It's the sound of the toll bell
LaFam: No, I'm playing to you, paddles, ball, we're playing ping-pong with you, you see we knew you're slow, you need to pay attention,
Voice: I need a short rest?
LaFam: You don't stand a chance, the court of Ki Ta Muort (3), you need to stay silent like a tomb, what do you want to say?
Voice: Oh, a tomb that skies?
LaFam: But you understand when I speak?
Voice: What, when I speak?
LaFam: Come on. What is this response, parrot, you're breathing down my neck and breaking my balls! You're fryin' my brain
Voice: "But I wanted…"
LaFam: What did you want?!?! Stop it! Enough! You're a lost cause! Chorus:
LaFam: I'm talkin' to you!
Voice: "What?"
LaFam: Prrr!!! What up? You can't understand?
Voice: "Sorry, what?"
LaFam: Prrr!!! Hey man, you understand me or not?
Voice: "Well, can you repeat it?"
LaFam: Why not… Prrr! I said I'm talking to you!
