Kito Kondowe - YWH (prod. T - LO) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus]
Yo what happened, its like we being taught not to challenge
So we can stay obedient and passive
Yo man what happened, as result, well the fact is
We lost all our talent to imagine

[Verse 1]
Remember the ambition of a child to think wild
To think miles ahead of things not thought prior
..Not afraid of different or dead wrong
But those ambitions get diminished down to desk jobs

So what happened in the in between period
That's making us taking life so serious
At what juncture did they instill the fear in us
With which altered our child like experience

We’re all creative it was native nature
.until the time we're taught to fear failure
Its a procedure for them to feel safer
They think they know better, and they’re doing us a favor

Keeping us uniform, tamper with our gentle soul
Leave us in a mental lull, thinking one dimensional
Dip us whole in the mold so we’ll match them
Same hole that I'm trying to crawl back from

[Chorus]
Yo what happened, its like we being taught not to challenge
So we can stay obedient and passive
Yo man what happened, as a result ,well the fact is
We lost all our talent to imagine

[Verse 2]
..Pre-k, first day, drawing time-
Confident as always as I jot from my mind
Feeling pretty good about this picture of mine
“This nice but you know you got to stay within the lines”

..now this Scrutiny was new to me
Used to being able to express thoughts fluently
..fast forward and your soon to see
That this that type of shit that is influencing truancy

Your probably thinking, “this can hardly be an issue"
But when your still developing that shit stays with you’
Now I'm only doing tasks that are asked of me
Its blasphemy, and not the way it has to be

See my passion to create was innate
I was, just making crafts for creations sake
I was, an inventor of all these contraptions
But, along the way I lost my compassion

[Chorus]
Yo what happened, its like we being taught not to challenge
So we can stay obedient and passive
Yo man what happened, as a result ,well the fact is
We lost all our talent to imagine

[Verse 3]
My will is being wilted by cats who care little
About the children's well being, man I hate what I'm seeing
Cause in the eyes of the district board
It seems were nothing more than a standardized test score

Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of education
But It shouldn't be designed to squander innovations
The Lack of good teacher ain't the issue
Their put in a predicament where they can't teach you

It's Shame it's the system to Blamed
They Want the free Thinkers to do as they Say
They Lay the Foundation for them to Obey
Lowering the Chances you’ll to go against the Grain]

[Chorus]
Yo what happened, its like we being taught not to challenge
So we can stay obedient and passive
Yo man what happened, as a result ,well the fact is
We lost all our talent to imagine
