J.A.G. - Next Time [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: J.A.G.]
On the news, another homocide, well here we go again
We going through today, waiting on tomorrows’ begin
But we waited too long, and now another one is dead
While encumbering thoughts are all clustered in my head
Like Boston, Newtown, those Columbine kids;
Or trapping, trafficking, these concubine bids
They saying those people will never be you or me
Well they should go explain that to N.Y. and O.K. C
It’s not okay. See, we got too many problems
No one can globe trotter, man, not even Harlem
God bless Treyvon Martin, he’ll never be forgotten
“The wrong place, at the wrong time” – yo, I don’t wanna hear it
A proverbial excuse, we use to justify merit
It’s pathetic; there’s no claim for anything we do
And the moment we shun hypocrites, then we become one too
Unless waiting on tomorrow somehow apply to you

[Hook: J.A.G.]
The heir to a throne is just the error of our ways
The air that paves the way, to a careless stage
John Mayer’s still waitin’ on the world to change
While Lupe’s words still aren’t in our range
Kanye’s still askin’ when it all falls down
“What will we do next, and who will we call now”
Lil’ Wayne can’t do anything, his hands our still bound
But maybe it’ll be different the next time around

[Verse 2: J.A.G.]
The most pure thing about us, our secure insecurities
Our perfect imperfections our matured immaturities
Can’t run away from problems, man, only their solutions
Depositing our two cents, cause we can’t withdraw intrusions
We put limits on ourselves; we also go judge others
By preference or on race, rather than by traits
For those of us who straight, if we weren't, is that okay?
Or do we discriminate too much for you all to really say?
You say that there’s a difference with the “er” and the “a”
I guess that makes indifference and complaints, all the same
We keep on wanting change, but we have nothing to break
Like when opportunity knocks, we expecting it to wait
Or when thinking outside the box, we’re just leaving it up to fate
And that would be great, if we could create a connecting link
Cuz right now, with every rise, there comes a bigger sink;
But maybe that won’t happen when we stop caring what other’s think

[Hook]

[Verse 3: J.A.G.]
Need to be cautious in ourselves, rather than self-conscience
When we need to buy time, no getting Rolex watches
We have a lot to fix, take it all step by step
Cause every time we push it up, there’s a lesson in that rep
And when it falls down, we take it in, and let it go
We gotta take it slow and eventually we’ll know
What else is left in store, and who’s willing to go to the market?
Because ignorance is forgiven, but arrogance never forgotten
Once we learn that lesson, progression trumps regression
You know, on a one-way street, there is no more digression?
But I digress; we must learn, there’s more to gain, than less
The more we’re in denial, the less room for us to access
Our anger and frustration, only act as deprivation
And the more that we bargain, the greater chance of great depression
Our luck’s run out, and our hope isn't far behind it
And they won’t come back, until we accept our indictment

[Hook] x2
