Jimblah - TV [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus]
[?]
They say I'm drunk now
Crazy locked up
20 to 5
Guess the suicide watch tonight

Hand me the shoe lace brother
A razor to cut my wrist
Watch, bleed or hurt me

[?]
Out on the streets now, scheming for something to eat

Turn your motherfuckin' TV off
See this ain't part of the program
They got you transfixed now
So turn your motherfuckin' TV off
Claimin' that that's the way it is
They talkin' shit now
So turn your motherfuckin' TV off



[VERSE 1: Jimblah]
I turn that page cuz
Burn that break
[?]

Hold up! what you thought?
That I drink all day and smoke weed
Proceed, thats my advantage
Make do with the cards that I'm handed
[?]
[Chorus]


[VERSE 2: Jimblah]
Brothers take their life
Tell me what it means if suicide is an option
Whats the cost of our problems
A black boy in a system designed for him to not exist in
Seems prison’s a better place for us
Initiated in the cold streets and afraid of what I become

And mum’s on drugs
And dad gone left us
I dont know where my sista is, she pregnant
15 and, that’s normal
And my cousin, he out on the mish now

Sniff petrol to get by
My purpose (my purpose)

You tell me
Money on my mind
When i roam these streets
I failed school
Whats it for me
See you getting a respect for the ones who teach us

Like what do you mean
Im sick and tired of these dumb fucks
Telling me exactly who i should be
Preach, cousin we can

March right, left right
Bear with me brother man we
Strengthen numbers we can win this fight

The struggle is ours and what don’t kill us can only make us stronger right
So stand the fuck up lets do this you got this leave em behind
With the mouth hanging right open like “what the fuck just happened”
Against all odds here now, so all that other shit don’t matter

[Chorus]
