Bless - 4.14.96 [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Bless]
Rob was robbed of his life
To be honest, the finer lives are behind us
But here is my promise to Lisa
I live amongst the believers of course
But memories aren't so peaceful
I live in the bottom of the food chain
But I'm doing two things well
Mike brought a knife to a fist fight
Recognize you might fail to survive
You might fail to survive this day
Right above my eye, I'm partially blind
A lighter was put to my face
This situation would make you go crazy
Elimination is safer or maybe retaliation aborts your innocence today
Living in this place of hatred

[Hook 1: Bless]
This feeling I feel inside
Is slowly killing me
But really, I'm just bleeding out
There's a knife stuck in my chest
And I can't get it out
So maybe I should.. die

[Verse 2: Bless]
Still I want that shot
Might as well just shoot
Lighting up that block with *gunshot* (pellets)
Threw a few at my melon
Thank god for jeeps
Let it all die down, I make a run for it
Clear shot home
Never did I bang, all I wanted was peace
Never did that matter to police
When I got home I screamed
EVOL is everywhere, EVOL is everywhere
If I'm the future, I'm used to just being truthful
That never left --
Get a hold of yourself
Never down the talent that I possess
Losing my balance
Imagine living this day like your last
Man, I don't even think like I used to
Living life's a challenge at best
Unless I'm depressed from suppression of adolescents
I guessing making impressions was better than just progressing
Towards something that's useful
But you'll only see my future if you fast forward
Yeah, I see you joking, what'd you laugh for
Knowing that I'm young and I won't choose sides
I was not put here just to be divided
Like Kendrick said, "Don't kill my vibe"

[Hook 2: Bless]
This feeling I feel inside's life confined
Even if I'm blind I was dreaming of being free
Then woke up to another lie
Who, what, when, where
I was searching for hopes of a piece of mind
Cause we're really doomed if we fall of that trail and get left behind (2x)
(Go time!)

[Verse 3: Bless]
I feel like I'm out of time
The flashing of red and blue
A brand new whip and a chain with a rollie's given to you
But what am I supposed when the coppers get me confused
With a murderer on the loose named Michael
I'm living proof of his death..

[Outro]

----
2nd Half

[Verse 1: Bless]
That's how I'm feeling, I'm as real as it gets
I'm as ill as can be
My appeal to a serial killer's what a pill is to me
I never imagined gaining so much notoriety for killing my own brother
Never telling my mother cause I ain't got a dad
He got gunned down
Before he jumped us into gangs
We was stuck in the ground
But I ain't trippin' because I got friends
And I love to hear them cheer..
(Like that!)

[Verse 2: Bless]
How could I be so blind
Was I in the wrong place at the right time
Or was Rob in his right mind when he told me the day was among us
Because I suffered a lot
And every second that I looked, it grew tougher to watch
As I grow, I get more intelligent
I would tell you to do some soul-searching
But it's hanging in my closet with your skeleton
I was never ashamed of what y'all thought of me
Because I'm living off every lesson Jalisa taught to me
So when you stabbed me, I was helpless in a way
Because I'm selfless, unselfish
God help us if we pray
But here's the twist, to coexist
Somebody always has to pay
And in the midst of being missed
It hit my friend and went astray
First gun, then knife
Headshot; dead wife, dead kids, dead dad
Seven bullets; think twice
I promised Rob that I would do this as a thank you
But I will slice my wrist to the portrait that you painted of them cheering..
