Dot Rotten - Gates of Heaven [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro x2]

Making money, chasing evil for the Devil's payment
God forsaken, by temptation it's the path we're taking

[Verse 1: Dot Rotten]
We ride until the end, but still we don't know where we're going
Love inside our hearts, but when there's war we never show it
When there's money involved you've got to hold your ground
Too many will die for the dollar and the pound
If money's the root of all evil, why are we chasing it?
Cause we want the cars and the clothes and the jewellery and the hoes when we're thinking of making it
And it feels like an illusion
I've made some money in my life, and it never brought me happiness
It just brought me confusion
For the love of the money, the people will kill
It all depends on the path that you're choosing

[Hook]

Making money, chasing evil for the Devil's payment
God forsaken, by temptation is the path we're taking
Will our sins be forgiven?
Will our sins be forgiven?
Will we sin against Heavens?
Will we walk past the gates of Heaven?
The gates of Heaven (x3)

[Verse 2]

What you know about the bad life?
Woman with a crack pipe
Two kids in a single flat just trying to get her cash right
Father's in the H.M.P, but he says he's innocent
Too many witnesses and civilians saw him killing 'em
Youngen' on the block, hearing his brother's been murdered
Holding the burner, looking for the addresses like a burglar
Mommy calling his phone but he don't want to pick up
He's outside of the house, kick off the door cause it's a stick up
And then he gets arrested, and his girl's pregnant
It's the same cycle, and there ain't no way to mend it
Met up with his enemy in the jail, full of vengeance
He had his boys waiting at the entrance
Fight to the death as the Govs watch
Blood on a man's hands never rubs off
And that's just another love lost
With all these Sins, how do we expect to touch God?

[Hook]
