Black Eyed Peas - Positivity [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

You gotta keep it on the positive

Na, na, na...

Nowadays it's hard to make a livin' but easy to make a killin' cause
People walk around with just one itchy feelin'
I feel nauseated from your evil drug dealin', bless feelin'
The definition of top billin'
It's illin' my vocabulary
Diggin' your life style scary
No wonder why you carry a two, to retaliate
Tryin' to annihilate
The one a two annihilate you
They got some dude just to get you bugged
Really y'all, this shit is all out of whack
You can't go out at night yet and you won't come back(??)
And this verse that I'm kickin' someone might take it personal
And come out and get me, but worst of all
These rap fans are taking this shit serious
It ain't New York versus L.A
Cause really it's hip-hop, with a big ole' problem
Now let's see what we could do to solve them (Solve them...)

Na, na, na...
We gotta keep it on the positive (Positive...)
Na, na, na...
We must keep it on the positive (Positive...)

Lucifer's got your little mind twisted
Cause God once gave you the meaning of life and you missed it
You've been listed in the devil's books
Livin' the life of crooks and hoes and in such and such
All that shit, that don't mean much
You got one hand on your gat while your genitals are being touched
Livin' the life that's plushed and glamorous
Drunk and high with your little soul's crushed
Don't you know that life is a mirage
I keep myself sober so my soul is camouflaged
If the devil cannot see me tell me how can he attack me
If he can't grasp a hold tell me how can he try to snatch me
I ain't talking about the white man, the black man or a Jew man
Cause the devil can exist in every human
Look how Biggie went out, and 2Pac went out
And Martin, and Malcolm, and Kennedy, and ?Squeek?
And Adam, and Rene, and so on, and so on...

Na, na, na...
We gotta keep it on the positive (Positive...)
Na, na, na...
We gotta keep it on the positive (Positive...)

Even though we got problems
We gotta find some way to solve 'em
I hope you come and follow me now
(Keep it on the positive)
Even though we got problems
I hope you find some way to solve 'em (Solve 'em...)
(We gotta Keep it on the positive)

P-O-S-I-T-I-V-I-T-Y (2x)

We're currently located over Los Angeles scene
While you see a lot of niggas perpetrating like they're kings
With this so-called God complex
But when I see they mind they only see checks
So let's get our heads together
Let's form a foul weather
Proclaim against perpetrators

Well said, Alligator
Our realm, no perpetrator
A society choose the elevator
Of success by identity cross-fader
Complex thinking they're really much greater
Plain raw, harness all, maybe rough radar
Tough enough to perpetrate, I talk to you later

But wait, what about that midget brains
Unable to see reality too unreal
I'm sealed with mind, body and soul
Connected together, we tougher than leather
We much more than you think we are
We are the product of our own environment repent
With equality, plus duality
And taken all kind of possibilities ('bilities)
I sing the song from the soul
Let it rise from the tone
Let it rhythmically grow
Into it's own life
Let it become you
Then you become it
Once you become it everything will be infinite
Will be infinite, will be infinite, will be infinite...

We much more than you think we are
We are the product of our on environment repent
With equality, plus duality
Mainly we present positivity
I sing the song from the soul
Let it rise from the tone
Let it rhythmically grow
Into it's own life
Let it become you
Then you become it
Once you become it everything will be infinite
Will be infinite, will be infinite, will be infinite...
