Ethos - On The Street [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I wake up in the morning. Psych! It's the afternoon
I stayed up late until it's early, and the sun and moon
Had switched places again. It happens everyday
It's perpetual like words. I spawn -- I'm gonna slay
Anyways, I rollover in my bed;
Grab my glasses from under the lamp blaring overhead
Damn, forgot to turn it off again. Maybe I will learn
Not to waste so much energy, but really I'm not concerned
It was just a nice thought, and I think if I taught
Someone to be a person it might worsen -- might not
Either way, like a child, my innards are still wild
When will I become a man fersho' and not for style?
Then I blow my nose. My feet had already rose
Walkin' down the hall holdin' my phone in-between my clothes
Once I reach the shower, it's the time to brush my teeth
Cause you never know who you'll run into or you're gonna meet

[Hook]
On the Street
Spin the record back and let it repeat

And bring it back on the track like hittin' the loud pack
With the team. Gettin' green; I mean cheese. The mouse trap
Ain't catchin' up to us. We causin' a big fuss
Undoubtedly livin' out the dreamin' permits us
To follow where we're leadin' instead of the evil feedin'
On your soul, wreaking havoc, and tragically is impedin'
The path that you blaze and the trail that you find
In your wake. Make an effort to go put it all behind
And get over anything that you got holdin' you down
Ain't a thing but the doubt keepin' your feet on the ground
Take flight like Jordan even if you're not soarin'
On the court anymore: got other things more important to yuh
Now. Askin' how I went from nothing to wow. Been a while
Since the map respected the eight mile state
Made from the worn shoes of Slim Eminem
Still don't give a fuck and never will? No, I'm not one of them
(Ethos)

[Outro]
We got choices that we make throughout our lives
Real Motherfuckas own 'em and don't wear a disguise
This is a first hand account of how I see with The Truth
Believe it. This is how we are even when we're not in the booth

[Hook]
