Black Fire - Common Ground feat. Cyril Neville and Matt Lavelle [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Mainstream media murderers
Killing your mind on prime time
You can turn off the TV
But it won't stop the suffering
Shock and awful flash the cameras
The other side is less painful
Headlines scream silence
Entertains the status quo
Chorus
We know the truth, its time to pass it down
Our future rests on common grounds
How far will we have to go?
If the waters keep on risin’
If we can’t reach common grounds
What will we stand on?
When the system fails
And the levees break
Will we salvage our roots?
Will we break these chains?
Chorus
We know the truth, its time to pass it down
Our future rests, it rests on common grounds
Reach common grounds, while time still remains
We are the ones, lets break these chains
Let’s unchain our hands
And reach for common grounds!
(Spoken)
The watermark of a civilization crashed
Relief determined by color and class
See the signs the balance is off…
Pay the price, ignore the costs…
Rotted roots of our despair uncovered
Poisons seep deep inside
With broken veins the waters rise
While the shadowed reasons hide
Mainstream media murderers
Desensitize the tragedies!
You can turn up the TV
It won't drown out the suffering
Let’s break these chains!
And reach for common grounds!
Chorus
We know the truth, its time to pass it down
Our future rests, it rests on common grounds
Reach common grounds, while time still remains
We are the ones, lets break these chains!
