L Jinny - Listen Up [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: L Jinny]
I don't need to prove myself, bunch of lousy critics
I don't look to you for help, your luck is 'bout to finish
Coming from them estates where they love to doubt abilities
And Casper left a kid dead, now he's on the lifers wing
Like every time I take a step forward, I take two back
And every time I make a real bro, they get caged or clapped
And I ain't even trying to explain, I just speak on tracks, uh
Light up that piff grade, put the beat on max and say
Yeah, akhi, we calm, yeah, akhi, we calm
Yeah, akhi, we calm, still we get grimy like the reaper
Quiet when we speak up, quiet when we speak up
Sick of dickheads in the scene acting like they're G'd up
I done seen grands from the bookies in the trap life
Went back to the bookies, then they took it all back like
Fuck it, back from the roads with a hoodie and a fat knife
I rap guys, akhis know I'm certi, I don't rap lies

[Chorus]
At times I wonder what the fuck I'm really here for
But turn your speakers up, these peoples need to hear more
Piffin' till I'm airborne, listen, I don't fear war
Sinning but I'm asking for forgiveness from my dear lord

[Verse 2: Tabanacle]
Young and hungry, fuckin' with that old rap
My friends are back home bucking with them [?]
They can sniff a whole bag, [?] couldn't hold back
And now they're stuck with this habit in their own track
I seen a man smoke crack in the broke can
Flying cause he's high but he's lying in his own crap
Lying to his own fam, stealing from his own nan
Three months later, he was dying in his own flat
I seen an old tramp drinking from an old can
Thinking 'bout life and really wishin' he could go back
It's so mad how we struggle when we don't have
The same opportunity as others cause their dough's stacked
And kids with mothers that have never seen their old man
And sold grams to put money in their own hands
They say we've no future but we don't plan
Everyday chasing this money, it ain't a joke, fam

[Chorus]
At times I wonder what the fuck I'm really here for
But turn your speakers up, these peoples need to hear more
Piffin' till I'm airborne, listen, I don't fear war
Sinning but I'm asking for forgiveness from my dear lord

[Verse 3: Lev G]
It's true, I used to wonder why I flow
Why I read at night, and why I draw weed
That might help me suppress my need to fight
I'ts not right that I'm one of the only few to see the light
So I'm saying please Allah, God forgive me for my sins
Though I like to think there's only a few
But I'll admit it that I'm getting to the end of my terror
So I thought that I just better repent for the ones that are due
Cause now I know the reason I'm here, I'm here to try and open eyes
Knowing exactly how it will appear with the fact that I'm exposing lies
Spit in the booth, hit 'em with proof, tell you, the scene are missing the truth
They are killing the youth by living a spoof and that's got me kissing my tooth
Stars banging but not self-indulgent
I am Brad Manning, I am Ed Snowden
I am the one grabbing onto something that is potent
I'm a genius that's rapping lyrics someone's spoken

[Chorus]
At times I wonder what the fuck I'm really here for
But turn your speakers up, these peoples need to hear more
Piffin' till I'm airborne, listen, I don't fear war
Sinning but I'm asking for forgiveness from my dear lord
