D'Vhyne - Whole Story [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Curtis Mayfield Sample]

[Verse 1 D'Vhyne]
In the face of the fire, in the cave with the lions
Yes in the face of Goliath, i overcame and i triumphed
The locust came to devour, but God endowed me with boldness
I was like John the baptist and I devoured the locusts
From Judas to persecutors, jurors to prosecutors
They screaming Law in my face but by Grace i jus Hallelujah
Im tuning out all the rumors, they ridiculing for humor
A little thorn in my flesh but it could've grew to a tumor
Im grateful yes im so thankful
My life could be worse but its beyond what i prayed for
I can't murmur, one word concerning my circumstances
Had to let go of my childhood yearnings for perfect parents
I know some people without teeth and they still smiling
My Nana can't dress herself but she still styling
My boy got all them yrs and he still talking bout grace
My cousin in a wheelchair but he still walking by faith
So I strive and keep putting in time and keep pushing these rhymes--
Is solemnly from the heart of me
And if i dont get it off my chest it'll probably clog up my arteries
But pardon me, i did time for an armed robbery
3 to 5 years they offered me, plea bargaining
I end up doin three and a half years
Speaking of that situation thats the only reason that Chaz is
The man that he is today, history in the making
Making progress its a process not about to get complacent
Nah.. and im not about to sit here waiting
Im too innovative, Hip Hop needs renovation
I labored like Jacob for Rachel but Laban played me
Was Abel (able) to make it, but Cain hate me but can't slay me, can't break me
(can't break me) man u can't phase me
Focused this motivation is potent it keeps me going
So there is my testimony
If you ever feel like quitting just reminisce on my story (move one)
