Collective Efforts - Tunnel Vision [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Sample] And I want to say something to you: don't be concerned about the struggle of trying to reach the thing that seems hardest to obtain. Go ahead on, and do the work. And dance while you do it. Use your gifts

You might not see what's happening
You might not see what's happening right
You might not see what's happening
You might not see what's happening right now
Which raises the question
Who really can see
And who really is blind?

[Ben Hameen]
I divide my time between climates
To provide rhymes designed to be timeless
Stretch lines beyond life's confinements
Let my hindsight heal the blindness
Tunnel vision, dug a tunnel under the prison
We can all leave together, you comin' or chillin'?
I'm one with the rhythm
I summon the wisdom
Have fun with the kids, man
Grown folks finna take the charts
Make the art relevant again
I got a couple friends, definitely be chippin' in
And if you chip in too, then this could be huge
Imagine the camaraderie and gratitude
Gotta be cool, give us some latitude
In a land of bad moods and attitude
The facts are true
The effort's on record, it's like a treasure
Do whatever we have to do
Pass to you, so you can take it from here
Hope we're makin' it clear
No fuzz or confusion
The love for the music results in the truth
We trust in the tools that we bust in the booth
Measurin' energy levels in decibels
Never will let it go
Ready to let it glow, it's inevitable
We put the pedal to the floor
We all enter the zone now
We home now, I hope you know now
Don't forget to remember that
Instead of the wackness absorbed on a regular basis
Let's explore some different places
Put your feet on the floor, cause we fixin' to escape
Let's push in the right direction
The path you choose is life
Invest in mind, body, soul, a good feeling to grow
We consider what we know
And begin to live

[J-Mill]
Never to make shift and make do
Givin' a gift, and I give it to you
And it's signed, sealed, delivered, but never for the dividends
But then again I could benefit
And it's better than shuckin' and jivin'
Brother just survive
Eyes on the enterprise, temperature risin'
Gotta put it all in perspective
Gotta stop falling in the wrong direction
Correction, I gotta aim for the pinnacle
Tip top, a brother won't flop when it's critical
The analytical and driven individual risen out of the prison
And trying to get the residual income
And then some
And ain't quittin
Finna plot the plot till it's good for the pickin'
And still pickin'
Now take a listen, when the beat drops feel it with a killer conviction
Gotta get up and start moving
Get it while it's good for the taking
Sometimes you may think that I'm losing
I'm trying to come up, I'm out of patience
I wanna get up out of the confusion
Living with the blind and the flagrant
I pray for better days in the future
To maintain the brain gotta change the arrangement


Nod to the rhythm as I roll with it
I see a mic, I start spitting while I'm holding it
Who ever knew a brother coming so cold with it
Master the flow, man, I put a lot of soul in it
Choppin' and moldin' to build the sensation
Music we makin', dreams that we chasin'
Places we're taking you
The barriers that we're breaking through
I've seen it all before like
I catch a vision full of insight
And all I try to do is get right
So when I step into the limelight I shine bright
You're feeling what I'm saying cause the rhyme's tight
I reach another plane as I fly high
Go against the grain, that's how I ride
Cutting close, changing lanes as I drive by
Feel the breeze as the keys
Open it up, and let it breathe

[Break]
We don't know why we keep on suffering
Why life's so hard
We hope that one day people understand
What's going on

[Outtro]
Go ahead on and take the challenge that is set before you impossible though it may seem, take the opportunity
