Anthony J. Shears - Break You Down [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Chorus:
Never let ‘em break you down (3x)
Cuz if you let ‘em, they will take you down (Break you down!)

Verse 1
The present presents the problem
Of drama and teen mamas
And babies without fathers
And daughters without water
...(Thirst!)
And wh and I both f****** truth at makes things worst
Is a whole Obama later
Inner city’s still cursed
The last shall be first
And what’s asked shall be heard
Then the masses reverse
Back to passionate words
The class is unnerved
As compassion is served
We’re aghast at our past
But our asses preserve/are Verbs
...And I do it for yall
We partners in this struggle
No matter you big or small
...Gotta always stand tall
I grew up just like you
And would never let you fall
...I would never let you fail
…Would never glorify or lie so I could sell
Can’t ever let em break you down
Cuz if you let em
They will break you down!

Chorus:
Never let ‘em break you down (3x)
Cuz if you let ‘em, they will take you down (Break you down!)

Verse 2:
...You wit that throw you hands up
And flash your middle fingers
Cuz they’ll never understand us
The brightest lights have to make it thru the darkest nights
Twice...
...And that’s the reason that the artist writes
...To help those dealing with the hardest plight
To give heart to the heartless
On my mama’s life

That’s why the bird sings
So he can take flight
By his own wings
And reach the highest heights
...And you can too
Never let nobody tell you what you can’t do
Even if you gotta kick it like Fu Manchu
And be villain
Be willing
Long as the earth’s spinning
Then you got a chance at winning
A chance is what you make it
A winner might fall
But stands tall so he can face it
Don’t ever let em break you down
Cuz if you let em
They will break you down!

Chorus:
Never let ‘em break you down (3x)
Cuz if you let ‘em, they will take you down (Break you down!)

Bridge:
They won’t win
Cuz I won’t lose
I worked too hard
I paid my dues
Don’t ever let ‘em break you down
(Cuz if you let ‘em, they will break you down!)

They won’t win
Cuz we won’t lose
We worked too hard
We paid our dues
Can’t ever let em break us down
Cuz if we let em they will break us down

Chorus:
Never let ‘em break you down (3x)
Cuz if you let ‘em, they will take you down (Break you down!)
