Genius English Translations
IAM - La Saga Ft. Sunz of Man (English Translation)
[Intro: Prodigal Sun]
Royal Fam, IAM, Sunz of Man, Wu Tang Clan
'bout to take it to another chamber
From Medina to Marseille...Marseille, Marseille ...

[Chorus: Prodigal Sun]
Yo, IAM, SUNZ OF MAN from the ROYAL FAM
Never ate ham, never gave a damn

[Verse 1: Timbo King]
In the begining there was darkness, then came light
I grab the mic to dis' your ass just for spite
What? You can't fuck with the flows I bring
Watch the staff I swing (taaaaaaabbbaaaaaaa)
It's Timbo King, astonishing, I'm dramatic to the ear
Television tells lies to your vision
So, beware of the trick-nology set off to fool the mind
If you're dumb you're lost, if you're wise you will find that
Poison is a devil substance made for scratch'
Cause one rotten apple destroys the whole batch
You scratch, I throw jabs to your jaws so quick
You get bashed in the head with a stone face brick
We're thick like molasses, deeper than the earth's mantle
Royal take over, stampede, trample
Those who force kids tell lies to the youth
My grandchild, my roots run deep is proof what?
[Verse 2: Akhenaton]
At 17, I made up my mind
I was a nervous, hyperventilating little jerk
Brawl and I was giving a kick to the table
Everything was flying infected by negativity
So many failures, so many defeats
Forged the teeth, to stand the hits to my mentality
Broke with no hobbies, there ain't worse
I owned nothing and wanted to found an empire
I persisted, said real stuff, was tracked
I insisted and the group IAM was brought to life
For good, I was sincere
I write verses for my peers
And there's those scared behind
Of attention, they didn't gave a fuck so I knock around
Like the gas, the untouchables bars of my phrases
I even changed my mind about the Saga
It's not even when you showed up I was coming back, I was going there again

[Chorus: Prodigal Sun]
Yo, IAM, SUNZ OF MAN from the ROYAL FAM
Never ate ham, never gave a damn
Yo, IAM, SUNZ OF MAN from the ROYAL FAM
Never ate ham, never gave a damn
Yo, IAM, SUNZ OF MAN from the ROYAL FAM
Never ate ham, never gave a damn
Yo, IAM, SUNZ OF MAN from the ROYAL FAM
Never ate ham, never gave a damn
[Verse 3: Dreddy Krueger]
I'm blowing n***as out the frame
Now what's my motherfuking name (Dreddy Krueger)
I'm playing n***as like a boy game
You can't fuck with the drunk Dreddy Krueger
Blaow! Blaow! Two slugs from my ruger and I move ya (move ya)
I write rhymes when I'm sober
Say it when I'm drunk
The Buddah Monk got the skunk
Yo, I smoke n***as like kryptonite blunts
Dog bitches like soup, fucking up my stew, then yo
I step the gates and troop to see my n***a
The GZA, who had my bulletproof (my bulletproof)
Vest for my chest to relieve some of my stress
And I'm safe from my neck to my waist
But still I got to worry about a n***a catching me in the face
And beat the case, just cause he had papes (papes)
(Get it straight)

[Chorus: Prodigal Sun]
Yo, IAM, SUNZ OF MAN from the ROYAL FAM
Never ate ham, never gave a damn
Yo, IAM, SUNZ OF MAN from the ROYAL FAM
Never ate ham, never gave a damn
Yo, IAM, SUNZ OF MAN from the ROYAL FAM
Never ate ham, never gave a damn
Yo, IAM, SUNZ OF MAN from the ROYAL FAM
Never ate ham, never gave a damn
[Verse 4: Shurik'n]
The road toward the goal set is long and perilous
Inns often lined it with signs that are luminous
And it's hard to refuse the invitation
To stay on the rails like a wagon
Like an arrow, whizzing right toward the target
To ignore the gossip is the only possible option
Time flies by too fast to pay a so-so attention
I know that everyone actually wants the same thing
But no one wants you to obtain it before the others
Up for it, I work for myself son
Too bad for the others if slandering is their favorite hobby
I've left this harmful period where
You lounge waiting for things to be done
I progress fortified by my past experiences and I'm smiling
When seeing those in the hurry to reach it
