King Henry IV Lyrics – Gil Scott-Heron
Singer: Gil Scott-Heron
Title: King Henry IV
The king is alive and twenty million strong
And long before he ever ascended to his throne
He was made fun of, a source of great humor
His domination over neighborhoods was nothing but rumor
The reason I felt black kids was headed for a fall
Was the day I read this poem painted in the bathroom stall
“f#ck a man in the butt and you could get it for sure
Pass a dope needle around and there wasn’t no cure”
The kids believed if you wasn’t gay and you didn’t shoot dope
You was home free, take the day off and float
But what would always make the king seem so tough
Is that he could get in and then take five years to show back up
And you can go scream at them until you get hoarse
But they don’t understand about King Henry the Fourth
He was no more than a whisper in gay after-hours spots
If there are no bloodless revolutions, why hadn’t he fired a shot?
Sunday mornings from the pulpit, he was blamed on promiscuity
More confusing newspaper b#llsh#t only furthered the ambiguity
Preachers became obsessed in calling him, “A message from above”
The creature’s game progressed, since nobody knew exactly who the f#ck he was
Completely taking over areas that had never seen royalty
But soon millions on five continents could all pledge their loyalty
The invisible monarch was steady doing his thing
He never heard folks once saying, “Hail to the king”
But he’s got powers you can’t help but endorse
And the Africans call him, “King Henry the Fourth”

King Henry IV – Terjemahan / Translation
Raja masih hidup dan dua puluh juta kuat
Dan lama sebelum dia naik ke tahtanya
Dia diolok-olok, sumber humor besar
Dominasinya atas lingkungan itu hanyalah rumor
Alasan saya merasa anak-anak kulit hitam menuju jatuh
Adalah hari saya membaca puisi ini dilukis di warung kamar mandi
“Persetan dengan seorang pria di pantat dan kamu bisa memastikannya
Melewati jarum ganja di sekitar dan tidak ada obatnya ”
Anak-anak percaya jika Anda bukan gay dan Anda tidak menembak obat bius
Anda bebas di rumah, lepaskan hari libur dan mengambang
Tapi apa yang akan selalu membuat Raja tampak begitu sulit
Adalah bahwa dia bisa masuk dan kemudian mengambil lima tahun untuk menunjukkan cadangan
Dan Anda bisa berteriak pada mereka sampai Anda menjadi serak
Tetapi mereka tidak mengerti tentang Raja Henry yang keempat
Dia tidak lebih dari bisikan di tempat-tempat gay setelah jam kerja
Jika tidak ada revolusi tanpa darah, mengapa dia tidak menembakkan tembakan?
Minggu pagi dari mimbar, ia disalahkan pada pergaulan …
b#llsh#t koran yang lebih membingungkan hanya melanjutkan ambiguitas
Para pengkhotbah menjadi terobsesi dalam memanggilnya, “Pesan dari atas”
Game makhluk itu berkembang, karena tidak ada yang tahu persis siapa yang dia
Sepenuhnya mengambil alih daerah-daerah yang belum pernah melihat royalti
Tetapi segera jutaan di lima benua semua bisa menjanjikan kesetiaan mereka
Raja yang tak terlihat stabil melakukan masalahnya
Dia belum pernah mendengar orang-orang sekali berkata, “Hail to the Raja”
Tapi dia punya kekuatan yang kamu tidak bisa didaki kecuali mendukung
Dan orang-orang Afrika memanggilnya, “Raja Henry the Fourth”
