Kambino - Let Me Show You [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Let me show you how to walk right, talk right, change your swagger
Pick yourself up, upgrade your stature
The way of the Master has to
Enter your mind or your blind, and life will walk right past ya
We're all just sheep in a pasture, grazing in the field of free will
But when the wolf comes will you run or keep still?
Sacrificing your life for fun and cheap thrills
It's like a Benz on cheap wheels
A girl with model potential in cheap heels
Lacking stability and traction, attractive
But really just futility in action
I pray you feel my passion, if I don't sell a record in my life
I'm asking that if you hear my record, spin it twice
And bask in the presence of the one that is the Christ
Give your problems to the Son, the ones who help you get it right
Get it, right

[Hook]
The day to day gets kind of boring and trife
There's got to be a little more to this life
Paper chasing but you never hunt it down
And you wish it was the other way around

Let me show you how to live, let me show you how to grow
See I've been to where you been, let me show you what I know
Let me show you how to breathe, real slow
You look lost, let me show you where to go

[Verse 2]
Let me show you how to grow some, know some more than you do
I see ya all as Spongebobs that I'm pouring into
See I've adapted a warriors' view
Fighting and reaching, And teaching before their stopped by that quarter to two
That's one forty five, lost lives in the projects
Crack babies cry, tossed aside like objects
Fathers are not there, robberies not rare
I lived in the midst bro, how could I not care
I used to sit and pout like it's not fair
But that didn't change a thing
Until I changed my mind, climbed out, rearranged my way of thinking
Saw if change is what I'm seeking then the change I gotta bring
Songbird, so even if I'm jailed I gotta sing
More like an eagle, regaled feathers on the wings
Lives are hanging in the balance, see them tethered on the string
Gotta show them what I know, yo, life gets better with the King

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Let me show you how to move through the mazes matrix creates
To a place where your freedom patiently waits
See I escaped several years back
Imaging the feeling now I gotta fight the tears back
To some that may appear wack but you don't know the half of my pain
My mere childhood corrupted nearly half of my brain
Then the decade that followed was a match made in sorrow
Thought perhaps KB swallowed ended trapped in the game
Life was the pits like a peach fam
Day after day a bad news like C-SPAN
But you see ... stayed on the knees and
Knew that someday, someway, he would reach Kam
And he did, then I changed for the better
And I made a promise that I wouldn't change for the cheddar
For the women, cars, jewerly, the fame or whatever
Bring dishonor to His name, I will never ever, ever

[Hook]
