Dion Baker - Build Your Library [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Build your library... change your news sources
Open up a new book enroll in new courses...
Build your library... And keep a book like it’s body armor...
Pages of knowledge are weapons that make your mind sharper
Build your library... and get your mind right
Knowledge unlocks doors freedom is your divine right...
So build your library... and get your mind right
Use this artform to sharpen your 3rd eye’s sight...

I don't drink, I don't even second hand smoke
But I'm addicted to a book like a dope that's why I'm no joke…
I've been to college already and copped a bachelors (botch-a-lors)
In economics but it's my studies beyond the classes that's
Built, my stature (stot-ure) to be an applied philosopher
Interdisciplinary artist that's ripping apart the concept of
Hip hop, and how we apply it or how rock with it...
Reality is the college we need our doctorates
So we need to build followers, in the flesh
Blood and sweat on the bodies of a new radical populous
That shatter the status quo, popular
Operative, money driven cultures get viewed through newer oculars...
There ain't a penny worth my thoughts cause they're priceless...
I don't accept commoditizing human life and
I reject the name American, with a hyphen
Social subordination is a spiritual siphon...

Build your library... change your news sources

You need to cop a library card…
Ain't no republicans or democrats stopping you from getting that
Get a book flip through that, I'm a bookworm crawling in literature (liter-cher)
As a result, I'm bigger than miniature (mina-cher)
Mental exercise gets my biceps right, learning is critical
Strong minds overpower physicals…
The pen's mightier than swords modern day wars
Fought, with data and owning the media
Controlling the ways you're informed, they shoot above your neck first
You believe anything long as it's from an expert...
And anything you read... there's a limit to
Read between the lines cause everything isn't literal
Cross-reference sources check bibliographics
Read different views on the topic to get the facts in...
The Patriot Act gauges your reading habits
Cause they know books can spark a revolution and that’s problematic...

Build your library... change your news sources

Build your library... And keep a book like it’s body armor...
Pages of knowledge are weapons that make your mind sharper
