George Samaha - Decisions [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Verse 1:

I was never really a scientist, but with a mind, with psychedelic rhymes in it
With such beautiful optimism within, that could have made a devil even howl upon it
But decisions, underestimating the cost that comes behind it
Completely flip switched that man and put a, demon’s mind inside it
Soon enough, he’s violent, isolated from who’s beside of him
It only escalates, to the point of where he’s lying his way out of a crime again
The signs of him, becoming a doctor diminishing with self impoverishment
Is it worth it, for and escape that’ll come back and hit you twice as hard as it did
But wow to feel that euphoria, bliss, with the OEV’s creeping up on ya
Increasing in dopamine, the perception shift, and the CEV’S at the age of 15
A 15 year old not knowing when he’s lit or sober
When the dopes over wasn’t a problem till he turned to DXM to hold him
From a kid, who’s’ mind was set to pinch his next wit
To score as much as he can, with the hope of not getting indicted
An atrocious metamorphosis, with the force of his curiosity
So decipher this first verse, learn, and take it from me

Chorus:
Don’t get involved, one pop, one mistake comes at a cost
Hold on, the bottom of the bottle’s coming off at your stop
Just starting, it picks up and hits you up with the plot
The party’s gone, you’re on your own, how does the end of your anecdote go?
Verse 2:

When I was 14 I was hyped I had my first sip of cider
Sat beside my friend and told him if anyone came down, to hide it
But my dad he didn’t buy it, he wanted to know with his finger on it
Just to figure out, that “I’m tired” meant I’m drunk or ripping chronic
The problem, was constant and devoured his conscience
When the games pushed up and he’s booked by the school for having alcohol on him
And listen to me when I say, it’s not easy to watch
Your friend strapped up to a stretcher, life or death and you’re the cause
So a year later I’m off again, not the same stuff that I started with
Cider sipping to DXM stayed up puking nights and downing gin
I’m called up; from my basement baked and wasted I barely made it
I’m shaking, legs aching I pass out looking at my parents faces (music stop thing)
So pause! Before you hit it fore’ you pop it or sip
The buzz it comes at a cost and cash ain't part of the bet
Overestimate denial, cause it fucks with your head
Cause “It won’t happen to me”, is the biggest lie you tell yourself

Chorus:
Don’t get involved, one pop one mistake comes at a cost
Hold on, the bottom of the bottle’s coming off at your stop
Just starting, it picks up and hits you up with the plot
The party’s gone, you’re on your own, how does the end of your anecdote go? (2x)

(talking)
See what the media does, they pretend to give a shit about you
They pretend to give a shit about who you’re going to be in 10 years
You can’t arrest people for drugs then advertise to buy alcohol
It’s absurd, it’s money, so don’t listen to anyone
Not the media, not the government, not the cops it’s all manipulative bullshit
Because it doesn’t matter what they think is right
Do what you think is right, depend on nobody but yourself
But just make sure that yourself makes the right decisions
