Genius Translations
Felukah - Market With My Sister (English Translation)
Yeah, just keep that shit rolling
If you have the time
I'll put the water on and make tea
(You know we be making yansoon)
Let you in my mind
(I’m on another frequency)
Yo, real talk
You can catch me at the market
Dresses with the pockets
With my little sister we be balling philosophical
Talking 'bout the particles
Daily life on sale tomato
How much is a kilogram and what did mom want?
Shit, I think we both forgot
Passed a little doobie before we hit the shopping carts
And I remember all the parts of growing up where you stood up for me
I called my sister and told her everything she told me look
Imma always have your back, but the shit you do is crazy
(Shit is too crazy, you're too crazy)
Mom is in the living room and waiting
It look shady if you show up every evening with your phone off when she call you
Your eyes bloodshot red, sis
Thought I told you
It was just a matter of nights before they bust my ass
And I’ll pass you the torch sis, I hope this shit lasts
Feel deep and think fast
I have adapted
Two Septembers ago
Making pancakes at home, goofing off
Kendrick Lamar booming from all the stereos
(I love myself!)
We sisterhood in the rosebush
Honey glow in the daylight
I place a cup of yansoon by her bedside
Tell the moon to illuminate her third eye
Now turn to the sweetest dreams
Curled up as she is in a cotton apostrophe
No, no
(Ba da da da dah)
You can catch me at the market
Dresses with the pockets
With my little sister we be balling philosophical
Talking 'bout the particles
Daily life on sale tomato
How much is a kilogram and what did mom want?
When I look at you I think, wow
A genius was born
You came through three years later
Fuck you think I was on
My prodigy, the source of all my poetry is legacy
The notion that we sail the ocean hoping that they graphin' it
They catchin' it
Blue maneuvers in the water laughing at the older generations
Even though it's us who's lacking
In the language of love
The price tag on truth
Vibing with my sister while we pick out fresh fruit
(Snap, snap)
Don't know how else to do it
They say my mind is a paradise and a paradigm
I take my chance on another night
Order me a uber meteorite
Unlock the sun
Let the world spin on for another one
Too late to come down, dear
I think I'll stick around here
I think I’ll stick around here
At the market with my sister
(There’s literally no other place I'd rather be)
Taking potatoes from a potato stand
How much is a kilogram?
(How much is this shit?)
How much do you understand?
How much are these words, anyway?
Does anybody know?
Somebody tell me
We out
