B-Rabbit - (Stay Awake) Tonight [Album Version] [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1:]
Yo
The economy's in a ditch
And our beautiful country's at war
The 99% are protesting the 1% rich
And I'm thinking we need Jesus now more than ever
People are fightin' for they meals, man this is major
Rioting and looting, it's pandemonium through out a so called Christian nation
We need to get this city on it's knees and stop the dictation
Cause without representation, there's no taxation
It takes some simple communication to get into Heaven
Talk to God and ask for forgiveness
Once you repent, yo you will be blessed
When you live for Him you get the best, nothing less
And that's what this country needs all across, from East to West
Don't matter who you are, white or black, color is not restricted
You can be sober or addicted
He will still use you for things far greater than you can imagine
Yo you can't run from God so why the distraction?
I saw your reaction when I first mentioned Him
You acted like Jonah but this album ain't Nineveh
So why do you continue to run from my rhymes?
And you know, life ain't cinema

[Hook:]
Stand together and fight the good fight
Brothers and sisters, stand up and join hands tonight
As long as we stick with God, everything will be alright
Keep an eye out for snakes, they'll try and break
So act like a little kid on Christmas, and just stay awake!

[Verse 2:]
By now I'm sure you're all thinking
"How can a young emcee, only 15, see the things that we see?"
It's elementary, I read my Bible while I chill and watch the evening news
I stand tall with my family, blood related or not, and know it's a blessing just to be livin'
Cause we know that God has plans for us, each and every just like Simon Birch
Learned that one at church, had it preached
Turned it around and used it in my verse
Now pay attention, because things are gonna get worse
It just seems like this nation's been cursed with a curse
But you know since our birth we've all been the same, God's children each and every one of us
We claim to be Christians and yet here's what confuses me
We segregate blacks and discriminate gays
And even on the Lord's day we can't even make way for us to obey Him
Nah, our Christianity is just something made up for display
Throughout all our insanity we created it, like Chuckie, this is child's play
And since it's all play we going downhill
People blame it on Capital Hill but what are you doing to make a difference?
The dollar bill ain't got no value but you won't go the distance

[Hook:]
Stand together and fight the good fight
Brothers and sisters, stand up and join hands tonight
As long as we stick with God, everything will be alright
Keep an eye out for snakes, they'll try and break
So act like a little kid on Christmas, and just stay awake!

[Verse 3:]
So this may be it, our last chance to be together
The end times are near, the weather gettin' crazy
And whether the weather makes a difference in the end, don't matter
We just gotta stick together and prepare for battle
Don't listen to the world and the lies that they are tellin', ignore the chatter
And you don't have time to sleep tonight, the devil we gonna shatter
So everyone from New York to Seattle
Tell me, are you ready for battle?
Yea
This country is already fightin' in the Middle East
And so many of you are more than ready to join in
But when it comes to a religious battle y'all turn yo back sayin' "I ain't a priest!"
Yeah so? I'm not a priest either, not in the least
But I'm still ready to join capital-H i.m
I'll fight 'til the death, from the P.M. up 'til the A.M
I ain't afraid. And I don't listen to what the Government tells me
I don't care that much about fame, that's not why I went into the game
It was to be changed and rearranged
B-Rabbit's my new Christian name
Since I got here after going away
And now every day I pray that we can all...

[Hook:]
Stand together and fight the good fight
Brothers and sisters, stand up and join hands tonight
As long as we stick with God, everything will be alright
Keep an eye out for snakes, they'll try and break
So act like a little kid on Christmas, and just stay awake!
