FphAty GaRcIa - Parting Gift [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[VERSE 1]
My journey through the mortal world has come to a halt
I've learn, taught, accepted, rejected, blamed, and been at fault
Didn't pass as the wisest but died a wiser man
Than during adolescent years when things were harder to understand
I thank my father. A real man's man
A bread winner. Never failing to provide for his fam
I thank my mother. The strongest woman I've ever known
Showing such affection to her son so his heart would grow
So many stages and phases, places and many many faces
Of all that I've endured, I still come out feeling my greatest
Enemies, hate is wrong
I forgive you all. Man, my hate is all gone
The greatest gift ever given was the ability of giving back
On several countless levels. Expecting nothing back
This is a parting gift to all my loved ones
But it's alright. I'm free as a bird like Sonny Gunnz (R.I.P)


[VERSE 2]
January 24th, 1996 was the date
My brother was delivered but in a fatal state
2 lbs. 7 oz. 4 months too soon
He entered the world with his face blue
The incubator was the first place he called home
I'd visit him for several months at the Mercy hospital
Looking so fragile but fought for his life. I saw his strength grow
I put my hand up to the glass and said, "Don't ever go."
From the depths of my soul, I felt optimistic
Little bro would pull through to continue existing
Wishes come true. You must ask from the heart
Never made a wish before? Then go ahead and start
Make sure when asked, bleed yourself into it
They're only unfelt if blanks are shot instead of bullets
Keep a little faith. Results are incredible
To me it's been proven that there's such things as miracles


[VERSE 3]
I wanna be remembered for my better qualities
Appreciated the smallest things. Never feeling gluttony
My apologies to those I've wronged and disrespected
Sorry for neglecting and taking for granted that life and time is precious
Looking back at all my wrongs, I look without regret
I look at them as learning lessons, I refuse to forget
I'm thankful for my gain of knowledge to rid my ignorance
All that's left to say to my bad habits is good riddance
Cleansed with death. No longer relying on breathing
Feeling my best. This insomniac is finally sleeping
Let out your tears. I'll wipe them away with the wind
I'm all ears. With no interruptions, I'm listening
Difficulties with coping is expected. I don't blame ya
Just know that I'm here in spirit and I'm going no where'a
As you touch the urn and say goodbye
Don't think it's the last time you'll be seeing this guy


[VERSE 4]
I'll soon be forgotten but remember the strength
I never used a crutch for my broken legs to ease the pain
Purity to others seems impossible to keep
I've even contemplated several times on losing my strength
I kept my brother in my thoughts and dubbed my father's will as mine
Not as a quite as strong but enough to get me by
Sunday, April 23rd, 1989
All the way to now to everyone, I say goodbye
