Emilio Rojas - Take A Good Look Around [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook: Francisco]
Seems like every time we try to bring ourselves up
After the love has run out and doors have been shut
We stop to look around and see if anyone is there, hell
I really don’t see anybody anywhere and now
I really don’t see how I was supposed to get up off the ground
After we take a good look around, take a, take a good look around

[Verse 1: Emilio Rojas]
I love you like a brother, defended ya, attended ya
Ain’t mean to do me wrong, I made excuses and amends with ya
I took your side when other friends of mine offended ya and now
I realize that they was right so all there’s left to do is dead ya, forget ya
I can’t believe I let ya just get the best of me, you acted like I disrespected ya
Were you jealous? Did you see me as a threat to ya?
I didn’t know that hoes are more than what a friendship meant to ya
I let you in my home, I even doubled up my rent for ya
So you can tell my exes I’m a mess in hopes they slept with ya
But did it ever cross your mind of who connected ya?
They loyalty’s with me, you really thought they’d be protecting ya?
You struggling for work, my fucking manager cut checks for ya
And now you have the nerve to say that none of us accepted ya
I went from friends with ya to questioning intentions and resenting ya
Now I can’t fucking stomach standing next to ya

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Emilio Rojas]
It’s times I hate you but we grew up together girl, I raised you
And tried to show your little ass the ropes before they hang you
I seen you go through phases when our father left that change you
And I think it made you crazy, you were once a perfect angel
He pained you, I know you want somebody who can save you
But you should’ve saved yourself for that somebody who can face you
You scared and in all them lesbians that date you, they disgraceful and hateful
They don’t appreciate you, this life is crazy, you figure out that you ain’t shit
But you realize that you and your sister’s fucking the same chicks
Your older sister keep on repeating the same mistakes and every year
A different dude gonna get with her, she trying to raise kids
The shit is dangerous, I wonder how my nieces feel
When everybody around ‘em keep on changing like the seasons will
Yo, how you supposed to teach ‘em love when you been cheating still?
Think about the cause before you go chasing the cheapest thrills

[Hook 2X]

[Verse 3: Emilio Rojas]
I ain’t abandon ya, I know I leave a lot but I come back to ya
I knew you back when you was at Kodak and getting cash for food
Before the cats along the avenue sold crack to you
And then they strung you out and now you doing things that addicts do
I was a champ for you, made everyone a fan of you
In every video and interview, I tip my hat to you
But what’s a man to do when everything I handed you
Your ass done took for granted, now the shit you doing’s damaged you?
You fucking raw, you spread disease to all who smashing you
And you sell your ass to all your kids up in the pad with you
It’s the example that you setting, all they have is you
Remember, you were younger, when you dreamed and you had talent too
You in the vacant, in the basement, sucking glass in ya
You just another number, everybody fucking pass on ya
And it’s ironic, you the rock and gotta have it too
There’s something, gotta change before it shatter you
