Concept Residue - Oaks Die [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]

Kick off that blanket of hate
Man, I think quick so I don’t blank in debate
Got a ten level brain, gonna crank it to eight
Got to use ya head man, so wank it or wait
I’m making my fate, not taking a break
Bet I fill my belly up like a flank of a steak
I’m breaking the bank, taking them all down
I’m faking a prank, making them all frown
I call down to the bottom of the steps
Don’t got to be the best, just ought to be the next
To flex on a fool if he throttle me in jest
Or a wannabe who test patience
Man, I’m gracious if you understand
Honesty, don’t underhand
It’s real life here, not wonderland
We all fall, blunder and
Mess up, fess up, best course
Got to get back on, no test horse
So press forth, do what you can
Sea all around but’s it soon to be land
Maybe you’ll find a new rune in the sand
Great perseverance is tune to demand
There’s room to be grand on this Earth
Look you see not gone is mirth
Pawn this dirt, and make something better
Live long enough, see a change in the weather
Shoot sky high like a range of Beretta
When hate mail sent, no claim to the letter
Flowers bloom and powers boom
And the Earth keeps spinning every day
Oaks die and folks cry
But some keep winning every way, ay

[Sampled Chorus]

[Verse 2]

Ain’t playing small ball, got a tall gall
Make them all fall rough
Write it on a stall wall in a mall hall
He will call y’all bluff
Whether you are a West Wing chancellor
Or an oppressing manager
Wrestling amateur, sexting janitor
Even call the bluff of a nesting tanager
Bet no fan of your antics, yo
Feeling that a fool got me frantic, so
Gotta plant feet on the granite floor
Then make a stand, I’ma manage, bro
Damn it, yo, can I get a little peace?
Why do I be dealing with a little fickle beast?
Does anybody know the time of day that it’ll cease?
If you know the answer would you solve the riddle please?
Jeez, y’all need to back down
Or would you let me know before you do attack now?
Got to crack down, y’all be vicious
Nibbling at my knees like salty fishes
Y’all faulty wishes, I halt the hisses
Shouting at a victim all he misses
Y’all remind me of times that I wish for
That’s why I be throwing nice rhymes out of this door
Just to block you, but you talk through
Every single window pane that I lock too
Keep the door closed, and the bolt tight
But you keep on getting through like a small mite
Man, I’m alright, need me time
Trying to focus on just seeing me shine
And the only way I’ll be fine
Is if I throw my thoughts that peace sign

[Sampled Chorus]
