Jimi Priceless - Rand [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Keep faith in God but in cash we trust
Do we love money or is it all lust
As long as you work hard, they don’t give a fuck
You don’t gotta have the riches, you just gotta have enough
But in this life it’s all about bigger and faster
You tryna keep up, for air you are gasping
Not realizing, soon you’ll be crashing
Well I guess you’re slaves to the marketing masters
To a certain degree, I am just like ya’ll
Fuck a nine to five, I wanna fly high and ball
The working classes tryna get by too
But if you work, what do the other classes do

[Hook]
Sleeping all night just to work all day
In God we trust so let us pray
Everybody tryna make a living
So hard that they’re not even living
And that’s just how it goes down
When the love of money makes the world go round
Life’s a bitch, and bands make her dance
Another day, another dollar but we be on our Rand

[Verse 2]
Soon enough, the bills got dead presidents
Another third world country influenced by America
Land of the free, home of the brave
But we pay the price, look at all the rich slaves
Dark clouds in the sky, or is that just the drones
Eating cheap, fast food, we love these GMO’s
We like cheap and fast, same way we love these hoes
Cos it’s freedom of choice, is this what we chose
Were we allowed only bad choices in the first place
Get fucked up all weekend, then work hard till Thursday
Then repeat the cycle until you’re used up
Don’t hate on this just cos it ain’t what you’re used to

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
I don’t acknowledge Human Rights Day
Because it ain’t rights if they can take it away
Our owners, they own us, take caution
We’ve been warned, God bless George Carlin
Killin it, for your sake I might find a hobby
I’m just tryna make that paper so I can start origami
I’m tryna have more money than problems when I count ‘em
I could stay mad about it, but would go mad without it
If you feel no pain, that’s what lifeless is
I’m just tryna show you what Priceless is
It’s hard chasing your dreams in this ‘real’ life
I ain’t picture perfect, I look better in real life

[Hook]

[Verse 4]
As long as it makes money, it’s all good
That’s why the people in the hood are in the hood
The longer you poor, the more they profit
Because you don’t start shit, they’ll never stop it
God gives blessings, if you want money join religion
Need a Personal Jesus, I’m a Born Villain
And I’m just saying what I’m seeing with my eyes
You cannot be saved just by playing tithes
I‘m not the one to tell you what’s right
Because they say I’m living wrong but I’m just living life
So if you need me come find me
I won’t leave a paper trail behind me

[Hook]
