Jordan Kanine - Unspoken [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
Open your eyes. Open your eyes
Open and save me from myself
Open your eyes to all the lies
Open and save me from myself


[Verse 1]
I’m here to be the voice that you don’t want to hear
And the face that you don’t want to see
The one whose eyes widen every time I witness our leaders
Spending money on so many things we don’t need

I’m the ugly truth
With crooked teeth I smile back at you
Haven’t you heard the news?
Bring our soldiers from overseas. Put them in front of the schools

Education is undervalued and underrated
Dropouts are spreading like a cancer
Standardized curriculum is regurgitated
We'd rather throw up gang signs than valid answers

There’s no true foundation for cover-ups
And Band-Aids can’t heal budget cuts
It makes me sick when they say money is the root of evil
Even the sunniest places have the shadiest people


[Hook]


[Verse 2]
Hollywood, the entertainment haunted house
Boulevard of broken dreams where screams don’t make a sound
Where your one shot turns to a rum shot
Then a drunk gunshot turns to a mugshot

Imagine men who have a different woman every night
What would they look like in the public eye?
Apparently we praise that, cause that is where Drake’s at
But it's okay cause he's famous? Y’all wonder where my faith’s at

We’re all afraid to say it:
Sometimes bad things happen to good people
While crooked folks sit in their mansions eating
And their labels steer them clear of the steeple

The news strikes fear into our hearts
And even though I’m all for it, capitalism is taking my friends apart
Instead of who's killing who we're focused on who's smoking what?
Instead of ISIS attacks, we’re worried about Obama’s coffee cup

[Hook]


[Verse 3]
Men around the world tryna play God. In a sweatshop
I’m talking about the kids in China, the euthanasia, death shot
Projects but no progress. Cartels, I don't care
I hear more on the war on drugs than the war on terror
I know a gentleman who was born a gentleman, whose temperament could never be questioned
But even when following God, society tells him
That it would be a one-way ticket to Hell should he fall for another gentleman
Frankly it's none of our business

But you know something’s wrong, you know someone was wrong
When the Bible is being used against the Constitution
You know a house is divided when you’re playing for the same team
But can’t find a single solution

Look back at high school drama, you knew the truth
But through personal bias and manipulation, the truth changed
That sounds an awful lot like modern politics
Fallacies govern the house, we need change
