Lateef the Truthspeaker - Testimony [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook] x 2
Can't let you expect to own me
Or act all like you know me
Dig dirt all by my lonely
Let me give my testimony

This is my testimony (x3)

[Verse 1]
The Truthspeaker yes Sir
Always been about The Word
But I ain't no Saint
Done made my mistakes
Think I can't that's absurd
What's important is I learned from the trials
Knocked down, get up - that's a fighter
Edit it, keep what's good - that's a writer
Ride on 580 but I'm not an 85er
Type a guy that memorize a whole song
By the age of five after hearing it two times
Hyperactive mind in the time
But the underlying truth
Is the tools of the coupe be designin'
The car and the oil in the proper aligment
I seen it comin' like one of the three wise men
But I worship a false idol or likeness
Born in the teeth, I don't hide behind the life, check

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Roots deep in the town
But, known the whole world 'round
Still, with the Skyline High
And my Junior High
Won the contest – best eyes
Now I look around wise
Still focused on the prize
But, nowadays I realize
Mine's colonized to lay heavy dosage in the side
With two friends of mine
Ridin' in the five
With the diamond in the lie
On the side that I fly
At the first sign of difficult times, that's surprisin'
Still I say top qualified, even while the tide's risin'
And somehow I stay smilin', even with the world swirlin' with violence
Cause while no man is an island, I'm still sole provider
What's behind my eyelids?

[Hook] x 2

This is my testimony (x3)
