Jacob Nash - I'm Bad [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
All I do is sin, sin, sin no matter what
Dirty thoughts go through my mind. I can never get enough
I'm lusting for women. I'm lusting for money
I know that it's sinning, but that's how I've been living
I'm sick and tired dealing with all of this evil inside of me
I feel like moving to the mountains and living on my own peacefully
But I can't do that and I'm so sick of all of this adversity
I feel like I'm ready to die and rot in hell for eternity
I know I'm not going to hell, but it feels like that's where I belong
A good Christian does what's right, but I can only do wrong
Yeah, I can only do wrong. I'm sinning twenty-four seven
I just don't fit in with all the good people going to heaven
I feel like I could punch this wall hard enough to break my wrist
Because I'm so mad at myself. As a matter of fact, I'm pissed
You want to hear it like it is? Well, listen up and I'll tell you what's what
Everybody only annoys me. I just want to scream "Shut up!"
But the problem isn't other people. The problem is me
The problem is I've got too much emotion built up inside of me
I've got one too many problems and too much anxiety
Which is the reason my music tends to be full of intensity

[Hook]
I want to be good. I know that I should
I want to be good. I wish that I could
I want to be good. I'll try to be good
I want to be good, but no matter what, I can't
I don't want to be bad. It's too bad that I can't
Quit being bad. I wish that I could
Stop being bad and start being good
I know that I should, but no matter what, I can't

[Verse 2]
Jesus loves me. This I know, for the Bible tells me so
I feel like he really does love me. It seems impossible though
How a god who created the earth could care about someone so low
Really, how could he? I honestly don't know
If Jesus can truly love me, that must be his greatest miracle
It's hard enough for me to love myself when I'm so sinful
And it's hard for me to love others too, because I'm so hateful
When people are good to me, I know that I should be thankful
But it seems so much more natural for me to be ungrateful
I'm trying to be a rapper, but I'd be a terrible role model
Then again, how many celebrities are decent role models?
They sure aren't angels. I'd fit right in with those devils
Parents are going to hate me, because I've lost my marbles
I lost my brains in a nose bleed. They came out of my nostrils
Parents don't have to tell their kids not to be like me
I'll tell them myself, because even I don't want to be like me
And you don't have to judge me either, I'm already doing that for you
And go ahead and hate on me too. I hate myself too
I'm trying to change, but changing for the better is a lot harder
Than giving up and just letting yourself get into whatever

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
What's the difference between the good people and the bad people out there?
Good people try to be good, but bad people don't care
Good people are actually no better than the bad people at heart
Bad people just aren't as good at being good as the good people are
And since they aren't as good at being good, a lot of people judge and hate
But what exactly does it mean to be good in the first place?
Being good is really just being good at hiding being bad
You just need to learn to fake a smile when you're sad or mad
A smile is all you need if you want to look like a good person
Along with some good deeds and doing your best to hide your sin
Inside, we're all bad, even though most won't admit it
And we all want to be good, though some only want it a little bit
Bad people want to be good, but the worst of them have given up completely
They've realized that truly being good is really an impossibility
So they give up, kill their conscience, and let themselves go bad
If they truly could be good, they probably would, but they can't
In my opinion, being good isn't about what you do or don't do
It's about whether or not you can put the interests of others before you
I'd say a good man isn't someone who always does everything right
You should just try being humble and being nice and polite

[Hook]
