ELG - Part Of The Plan [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

2Pac Shakur: "Man, it's like the only thing we can really leave behind is culture, is music, you know?
And, and, and dignity, and determination. That's what we have. So it's like; I feel as though I'm cheated
Because instead of me fulfilling my prophecy.. I have to start one."

Uh huh Uh huh

Now let it knock nigga
Now let it knock nigga
Now let it knock nigga
Now let it knock

Uh huh Uh huh
Uh huh Uh huh

Ughh, Listen

[Verse 1: ELG]

The last time I spoke
With my grandmother/

She said the world's in
My hands and none others/

She said close your eyes
And open your heart/

Be a leader not a follower
That'll set you apart/

I put my hand on the Bible
And I spoke to GOD/

I told Him give me the
Strength to fuck all the odds/

On the edge of my state
Feeling like Cape Cod/

Pushed overboard like
I'm swimming with cephalopods/

I swear to GOD
The black shades/

Hide pain I held within
For damn near two decades/

Since the seventh grade
I've been a motherfucking renegade/

Younging's post up on corners but
They ain't selling no lemonade/

It's the environment they
Placed us in/

Neck barely above water
Yet no place to swim/

The faces dim when the
Truth gets exposed/

The reason radio ain't got no soul
Is cause they souls already sold/

Now let it knock nigga
Now let it knock nigga
Now let it knock nigga
Now let it knock

Uh huh Uh huh
Uh huh Uh huh

Ugh..

[Verse 2: ELG]

Denim jacket on
Starting the day fresh ho/

How you say fresh in spanish
Bitch, that's fresco/

We worry 'bout our freshest fits
While innocent men on death row/

And to shut us up they lock us
In jail or the ghettos/

I'm just keeping it real
Signed and sealed/

It's impossible for closed
Mouths to ever eat a meal/

Modesty or vanity
I'm tryna keep an even keel/

But the devil always leaves
The louder message in my ear/

We eager to hate and
Judge for what it seems/

But fuck them haters
And fuck their dreams/

Lost my trust cause
Of the lies behind the scenes/

And replaced the pain inside
With material things/

No sense of direction but
Can't admit that we lost/

And regardless in the end
Your fucking life is the cost/

Don't let them mold you/
Don't let them make you/

This world is a cold one
Don't let it break you/

(Bahh)

Now let it knock nigga
Now let it knock nigga
Now let it knock nigga
Now let it knock

Uh huh Uh huh
Uh huh Uh huh

Ugh..

*Background: "They won't silence me" being repeated*

Believe in the future
Stop waiting for a voice to speak up, and be your own fucking voice. They won't silence us, they can't
Silence us, man. Fight for what we believe in. Let's go

*Background: "They won't silence Us."*
