Blueprint - My Culture [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]:
That's my culture
That's my culture
That's what it's all about
That's my culture

[Verse One]:
I'mma keep it short, cause time is short
This ain't a game to me, I don't rhyme for sport
This is life in the fast lane, speeding until I get caught
The last days of Jimi Hendrix looking for lines to snort
This is the big one cause Pac and Big done
They had a quick run, but now they victims to big guns
Same with Big L, they haven't charged anyone
It's a heavy load, the weight took Big Pun
They sprayed Jam Master Jay, nobody know the truth
Lupus took Jay Dee, shooters took big Proof
They laying in the cut, posted up on the roof
You got enough fame they might even come for you
They got Busta's bodyguard, nobody said a thing
The game is getting deep, AIDS came for Eazy-E
They found Saddam in a hole across the globe
But can't find killers living in the same zip code
You think it's funny?
Man, ain't no coincidences
You getting money here? They probably want you outta business
Go head and start trouble, they'll take you out without a witness
Or have you spending life behind barbed wire fences

[Hook]: {x2}
That's my culture
That's my culture
That's what it's all about
That's my culture

[Verse Two]:
I'm talking about, young ass cats with federal indictments
Busted for hand to hands, but ran instead of fighting it
Last thing I heard they was headed for the islands
Rather be a fugitive than a 25-to-lifer
I played the pied piper, the livest writer
Mercenary mic for hire cause I write the fire
So ease back soldier, hold your spit
You talking like a high roller, we know you're not
I'll maltoff all y'all, blow your spot
Sounding like broads rhyming about the clothes you got
Sometimes I look at y'all and wonder what the fuck on your mind
Look around you, we living in some troubling times
Iran and North Korea building nuclear bombs
Iraq and Afghanistan caught up in our wars
So when these rappers only rap about a home or a broad
It's cause they don't know what's happening at home or abroad
Protect your intelligence, they might insult ya
Hip hop been dead, man it's time for the vultures
I'm just trying to get mine before it's all over
Cause who the fuck wanna die for they're culture?

[Hook]: {x2}
That's my culture
That's my culture
That's what it's all about
That's my culture
