Dead Prez - Searchin [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: ?]
Yeah, let's be honest
I knew I took more then I gave in the past
Based on love on family values, so I know we can last
I've been hustlin', hopin'
Tryin' to stay focused, copin' with life
Like a roll of the dice
This life we live surrounded in ice
There's a promise in it for us
But still we gotta keep goin'
Everyday that we breath in live
God give us chances to show him
Take the blessings that he keep giving [x2]
Use em' to my advantage, he humble, and he forgiving
I know the prayer seem distant, but you gotta know he listen
You gotta be patient in life, and play your position
I done witnessed violent things in life that money can bring
Also witness things in life that only family can bring
Talk bout fortune and fame
Talk bout hunger and pain
Talk bout what we need to make this hell
It's one and the same
Cursed, we're blessed with the game
Cursed, we're blessed with the brain
Through all my stress and the pain
You Know what. (What?)
I'm a make it man

[Hook: Erica x2]
I've been searchin'
I've been lookin' for love
Waiting for the clouds above
You made me all that I am
And I thank you

[Verse 2: ?]
I don't pray for wealth, pray for health and peace to self to move on
Put my heart in this song, try to stay strong and move right along
Whether right or wrong, I'm a fight alongside what I believe
Long as I'm humble keep my faith in god is all I need
Stay workin' to get my cash, hustlin' I got to get it
Bet that I laugh last, blessed with the voice of vision
As God is my witness, my strength and my source to achieve
My savior, my light, my life, my fight and right to believe

[Hook]

[Verse 3: ?]
First of all, your foundation must be God first
If you wanna build a life that's worth riskin' it all
Suffer me this opportunity to speak, teach, and reach
The four corners of the globe
The pain runs deep
I know, I can see it in your eyes
But I'm right here with ya
In it though it all, before it's over we'll celebrate
In everything, give thanks for
This is the will of God and Christ
Jesus concernin' you, nothing is too hard for him
If you got a heart for him
Everything is possible, don't let nothin' stop you
We need you, get on your feet soldier
Hearts of west colder
Many with a chip on they shoulder
Leaders don't wanna step up and be what they were put here for
With all accountable for what we did, we do, and what we ought to
Do for the sake of the future, know that it's not about you
It's bigger than money and fame
It's bigger than reppin' your hood
Taste and see for yourself that it's good
