Haiku D'etat - Built 2 Last [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
This foundation we can't break up - Acey
Just like Run DMC we're tougher than leather
Mikah 9 said it's all love
It's gonna get better
We were built to last what we do
Stays here forever


[Verse 1: Aceyalone]
Solid ground is so hard to come by
One by one I gotta see the other eye
Every failure is another try till we get it
Stay wit it live wit it give it what ya' need
Wild ghetto seeds grown up to take the lead
I'm so glad that I got a purpose
And I can see past the surface I'm ready for service yeah
Hard to believe in coincidence
I just deal with the confidence decisions & the consequence
I made a vow & I took a oath
About growth got integrity on what I wrote
And that's a quote
It ain't where you're from is where you're at
You heard that
I'm from the place where they serve at, where the word at
Good brother you deserve that
I won't waste my life force chasing some horse that's off course
Ride steady & stay ready built to last

[Verse 2: Myka 9]
Constructive to the end and productive with my friends
I'm lucky just to live after the pain this life can give up - never
We must win every endeavor we begin by
Laying down the frame work of building from within my
Trust is in my skin like dust that's in the wind
I thrust into a spin then crush them evil men
I'm disgusted with the jinn I must then mend back together
As brethren and sistren my own children to the last days
I'm building from the first day's revealing
What's appealing is love not lust
What I'm feeling is above her bust
Really what's behind her makeup and face
Beneath the flesh there's a mind and soul
A divine heart of gold
Encrusted innocence - a special place
That's justice from his imminence
Since some people fake the math relating
To the body as a temple for the whole human race

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Abstract Rude]
As revealed these events unraveled
Follow me through a series of time travel
Eve and Adam's apple breed a spirit battle
Which leads to power struggle and ultimate Tower Babel
Commotion!
Dynamic explosion from the dynamite's charge
Just like dominos fall crash the palace
Just like Samson crushed the Philistine walls
And from the day on we've been established
Through corrosion still the limestone carvings
Show us how they evolved with black magic
Circa B.C. but what's after A.D
Has got us all hanging in the balance
And right in your backyard
They fight and they train hard
To claim their own landmark - the anarchists
Fanatical patriots defenders of habeas corpus
When facing the law & order

[Hook]
