L-Dafar - Tavis [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Morire]
It starts with you, it starts with me
We put a stop to this, yeah yeah
The man in the mirror should be the first to change
Should be the first to change
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah

[Verse 1: Iberedem]
You know I think I made you listen
You hearing but you not listening
These unbelievers need the verdict of a Christian
I'm a young man who got the knowledge to make a decision
Either kill or get killed, I just keep it real uhn
What's the point if you living a life you don't like?
Close your eyes tonight and
Talk unto God, let Him sort your wrongs and make 'em right
Why? We are saved for life
People make mistakes and people need change
If you're doing these drugs, you get locked up in chains and that's life
Nobody lives twice
If they do, it's not real
That's how I feel
And I don't pray to God for a long time but it doesn't mean he pays me no mind
I'm giving all my money as tithe
If time is money, I'm investing
I'm investing in God's time men

[Chorus]
It starts with you, it starts with me
We put a stop to this, yeah yeah (fist in the air)
The man in the mirror (yeah) should be the first to change
(so sad right now)
Should be the first to change
(L-Dafar)
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah

[Verse 2: L-Dafar]
See! What's wrong with the world mama?
Teen age used to be about the girl drama
Now it's guns or it's drugs or it's murderers
Murdering, slaughtering young ones, conundrum's got everyone wondering
When did it get to this?
Back home, they said UK was where to be
But now, it's blood in all the streets
The community is speechless
Now it's easy to stab a boy in Ipswich
Jesus, please forgive us we just lost it
Violence in London
You prolly ain't cool if you haven't held a gun once
Fear feels good if you are the one they run from
It's business as usual till a bullet hits your loved ones
Kill a brother in vain, that doesn't make you king
It only means that you're weak, you chose blades for your sins
You chose hate over grace, you chose the pleasure in pain
And every time that you sleep, you did it all over again
Congratulations, you got blood in your credentials, and I won't forget to mention
Might as well, grab a glass, get some blood from your dispenser
Yeah. RIP Tavis Spencer Aitkens

[Chorus and Outro: Morire and L-Dafar]
It starts with you, it starts with me (yeah)
We put a stop to this (and RIP)
Yeah yeah (to every other person that has been killed)
The man in the mirror (in all these gang wars)
Should be the first to change (hand on your chest)
Should be the first to change (fist in the air)
Should be the first to change, yeah

[Outro: L-Dafar]
Rest in peace to everyone killed on the streets
Especially the innocent people that knew nothing about the gang wars
That got hit by stray bullets
There was a shooting not too long ago in Nottingham
Stabbings increasing in Ipswich
Only God can help us
Go to school, don't do drugs, stop the violence
Stop the killings, it ain't cool
Yeah. L! Peace
