EQ - The Metaphor [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
You have seen me through my worst days, seen me through my best days
Seen me when I'm down, seen me when my chest caved
To think that I selected you cause no one else was there?
Naw nigga, it was just that every time I pressed play

Every time we touched, like every time I spit
I would feel the rush, like I was hittin' piff
Feel it in my veins, I would feel it blood
Like I was fated to destiny by someone up above

Beyond what we accept as the universe
The same God that created love also made it so you could hurt
The same God created hate made it so you could birth
The same God created fate for which you go to church

Word to Kanye, this is the church of
Everything that anything to do with my first love
The best I ever had, this is a letter to ya
I give you all of me, I could never be better to ya

And there's a lot of people that I know have treat you right
And there's a lot of people that I know have treat you wrong
And I can see the pain in your eyes when they release songs
They be sellin' you out just to get their feature on

Never make what's coming out of it, but got their speakers on
Hate behind the sidelines, niggas got their bleachers on
Never saw the haters cause they never saw the vision, baby
No one listens to me quite the way you listen
Too complex for you to choreograph
And I could probably tell you my whole story in rap
But it started with a boy who adopted a religion
Through perpetuation - that is not decision

No, I am not hatin' - I'm just lookin' back
You can rest assured in the fact that I believe in something bigger
What if I told you I found something perfect as God is
This is my church, and that these people were my prophets?

What if I told you it was you, and that I fell in love
In fact, I fell so hard that I was never getting up?
I give you everything - hoping that you give it back
Feeling like we're one, but I'm hoping that you signal back
Judging by the chemistry we've got potential energy
To give you what I want to give you would take ten of me
The sacrifices always remind me that nothing's free
And other niggas? They just treat you like the fuckin's free

You are my shelter, I give you shelter enough to grow
We've got a future, I'm dedicated enough to know
You give me hope; I got more than enough to dream
But everything that I give you's never enough it seems
To the style of this life that I be livin' for you
To the pen in my hand that this kid is grippin' for you
I'm always coming home . . it'll be and you
This is to hip hop, from the E to Q
[Outro Bridge, written by Slug of Atmosphere]
No matter where I am, no matter what I do
I'm always coming back home to you
They can leave me for dead, they can take away my true
I'm always coming back home to you
Through the lies and the sins that ride the wind that blew
I'm always coming back home to you
As sure as the life in the garden that you grew
I'm always coming back home to you
No matter where I am, no matter what I do
I'm always coming back home to you
If only I had known what you already knew
I'm always coming back home to you
From the heaven I've had to the hell I've been through
I'm always coming back home to you
I'm always coming back home to you
