Jae - Take Your Throne [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
"Empires won by conquest have always fallen either by revolt within
Or by defeat by a rival."
John Boyd Orr

[Verse 1]
To the man of misfortune, they can’t imagine
The life of wars, the things you’ve done and seen
But despite your offenses, and tough skinned pretenses
I see you live, you love, like them, you dream
And I know it’s your pride
But I see it in your eyes
The beauty you hide
All your faults aside
I see it behind your eyes
Your grace and all your strength seem to hide

[Chorus Bridge 1]
Time, tries, strife
You survive
Inside
Less than paradise

[Chorus]
School don’t teach, you learn the streets
Visions play of your nothing
Stranger to your worth
How do I appreciate
What you've always seemed to hate
Reclaim what’s your own
Take your throne

[Verse 2: Geronimus]
See loving you is loving me
Be one with me
Lean back comfortably
Underneath I’m tryna peak at what you keep inside
You think I wouldn’t understand
Baby you might be surprised
Half decent guy tryna make you smile through it
Roll away the pain, couple thousand miles cruisin’
We live with what we’re given
You and I could not choose this
So let’s work with what we got when they say we cannot do it
Nothing but love for you
Baby I’ll prove it
A little brown fluid
Some slow down music
Dance real close, if you gotta cry through it
I don’t mind, take your time, you and I, we’re both human
And I promise just to love you more
And I’m trying just to love you better
Cuz loving you is loving me
Don’t forget

[Chorus Bridge 2]
Oh oh oh
(See lovin you is lovin me)
(We live with what we're given)
Oh oh oh
(So let's work with what we got when they say we cannot)
Time, tries, strife
You survive
Inside
Less than paradise

[Chorus]
