AJ Bank$y - 12 [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Aye, tell them youngins free their soul
You know the world is getting cold now
Need some shelter from the cold
(I still do it for the city)
3-2-1

[Verse 1]
From 'The Bay' they say we all sound the same now
Why you think a youngin had to change routes
Carve my own lane out, kid why you shootin' put them things down
Better just to coach it, youngins going in that first round

I'm tryna live, the only problem is my blackened skin
The system's like a slave ship, they're eager just to pack us in, middle passage
That's why I spit it like a seasoned pastor
Passion of the Christ, I'll give my life to help you reach the rapture

I ain't lying, cause tell me what we got to live for
And all them prophecies is getting real close
I do it for the love, but still I'm cognizant of how my bill fold
How I'm supposed to save 'em if I'm still broke

Riddle me that, I'm not Sway, it gets realer than that
Like gunshot to the stomach if you're little and black
I'm literally that, no hand outs, don't give me a dap
My palms sweaty cause I'm anxious and I'm ready to snap like

[Bridge]
...from the cold
Tell them youngins free they soul now (Hands up)
Know the world is getting cold, cold (Don't shoot, please don't shoot)

[Verse 2]
Not from the bottom, but I'm feeling the pressure
See my tears through the rain I ain't bring an umbrella
Ella ella, eh, I hope you brought a Beretta
Youngins still getting popped over cheddar, now what that taste like

Bitter ain't it, I bet it's sharp too
Tell me why this noose around my neck like a shark tooth
Tell me why I still ain't get a check cause I'm artful
Really I'm just grinding for respect until my card's pulled

[Refrain/Outro]
Tell them youngins free they soul
Know the world is getting cold now (Please don't shoot)
Just need some shelter from the cold (I just, I want to live)
Tell them youngins better slow down
