Jovan - Big Sis [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[VERSE ONE]
It’s funny how people forget where they come from
Instead of being smart, they rather be dum-dums
In the slums, where you get slung
If you say the wrong things with your witted sharp tongue
Its sad how you live your life
And your... kids have to see these things through their eyes
This is really not you, why are you living a lie?
Eventually there will be a time, where you will recognize
It’s not popularity but prosperity
Can you please hear me out on my testimony?
You know you’re gonna lose, when you’re really tryna prove
To these girls and the dudes who don’t care about you
But you are negligent, who don't have respect
For those help you, just care to impress
You know you gotta work to have the success?
What will you do when we're gone
You gotta do your own so better move the hell on

[HOOK x2]
The way you do me, you confuse me, and be saying “girl, nah, nah, nah.”
Don’t wanna hear me, speaking clearly you just hear “blah blah blah”
(But) You choosing to instead to hold on to your friends
When you’re never in control, you don’t really give a damn

[VERSE TWO]
You fight, before you take a listen
Have you thought about the children, how they’re gonna listen?
They just know how to ride
In the backseat (of the car) of the driver who lacks attention
Is there something missing?
It is so clear to me, but do you even care
If your kids grew up a screw up, hello, are you there
It makes me cry just, wondering why
One day you’re gonna die making stupid decisions
Or behind the bars in prison

So stay attentive, these boys growing into men
Once were little black boys with their toys
Now they're no longer innocent
Bigger, harder, stronger, now afraid of them
Cuz they became a statistic
That ends up missing
And God willing a victim
Cuz no one paid attention
So they turn to gang, drugs, and war cuz they felt ignored
And You resumed to snore during the times you’re bored
But now they hate it
And felt they had to fake it till they make it

[HOOK x2]
