Fundisha - Live the Life [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus:]
Have you ever ever ever
In your whole whole life?
Seen the the things that I've seen
Or live the life?
People don't know what I go through
Or imagine what it's like
Growing up in the hood
Have you ever ever ever
In your whole whole life?
Seen the things that I've seen
Or live the life?

People don't know
What I go through
Or imagine what it's
Like being misunderstood
[Verse 1:]
Maybe if you could
Walk a mile in my shoes
You would feel all the things
That I go through
And then you tell me
What you would do
To try and make your dreams come true

When you feel like your back
Is up against the wall
And every time you try
To rise you fall

But yet you find
The strength to hold on
Keep the faith despite it all
[Repeat Chorus:]

[Verse 2:]
Have you walked ever outside
Scared you might lose your life
Don't know if you'll live to see 29
May even be a kid
You have to be a man
In order to stand

But I got bigger dreams
Inside of my head

Don't wanna end up
The next one dead
So I pray everyday
For a better way
Help me lord
Hey

[Repeat Chorus 2x:]

[Verse 3:]

Imagine growing up
Dead bodies showing up
Hood dreams

Nobody blowing up
One out of two barely make it
Half incarcerated
My life
I wouldn't trade it

Not for the love or the money, money (uh)
Don't try and play me for a dummy (dummy) (what)

Dreams must be something
In these project walls
I trust in God
That's why I never fall
