Illusent - No Compromise [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Illusent talking)
Yeah, they say, they say, they say
You should compromise a little bit
What do you think I'm gonna say (laughs)



[Verse 1]
Nah, never that, I'm just a clever cat
You liked 'The Foundation' right? Well here's a fresh batch
Fresh, I mean 'Fresh' like 'Prince'
I been walking with God, ain't been the same since
Since Cincinnati's own K-Drama hit me
Don't get me confused with secular dudes
They don't wanna walk a mile in my shoes
I'd rather be despised for my views
With my views justified by God who will not lose
Ask Pharaoh, ask Nebuchadnezzar
I serve Christ, so it isn't whatever, nah
Read Jeremiah 20:9, you will see what I'm feeling inside
Cuz inside, the enemy feeds constant lies
But stand strong, no compromise, no compromise

[Hook]
No compromise, G, I'm a rap about Him, cuz it's not about me
Live humble, live righteous, live life just like His, so
Give Him glory and praise all day for His glorious ways (you know, you know)
Yeah, Give Him glory and praise all day for His glorious ways, No Compromise

[Verse 2]
Compromise, I don't like the word
I stay fly like a bird, but unlike the heard
I go against the grain, I'm so against the fame
Unless I'm representing one name, Jesus!
I put His name on a pedestal
There's no 'He loves me not' when the pedals pull
And when the pedals fall to the earth
My knees fall to the dirt
To give Him the thanks that He deserves
The gangstas need the Word, even the politicians
Don't get it twisted, even the Christians
Because our mission's to walk in submission
So stop yelling at God and just listen
To that 'still small voice'
You can follow His will, but you still got a choice
The enemy feeds constant lies
But stand strong, no compromise, no compromise

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
This is real rap, the other's a façade
Cuz they're giving me props, but I give 'em to God
Cuz I don't deserve them
Without Him, I'm worthless, without me, He's perfect
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Do you understand, I ain't playing
Like a bench-warmer, He sent armor in Ephesians 6
And with the Spirit, this berean's sick
Like I'm running a temp
Secular music is dope, but the lyrics exempt
And this body's a tent, and I'm just checking in
That's why sometimes I don't feel comfortable in my own skin
Because I owe Him everything
Every breath, every moment, cuz His death was atonement
The enemy feeds constant lies
But stand strong, no compromise, no compromise

[Hook] X2
