Maestro Pianoman - Voyage [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Produced by Maestro Pianoman]

Gather round, gather round
I got a story to tell
Goes a little something like this
Keep your ears open

[Verse 1: Maestro Pianoman]
A black man came and told me he was travelling
We looked alike so I asked him 'yo where you going to?'
He said that God's the athlete and I'm the javelin
So where he throws me is the first place I'm hoping to land in
He said 'you ever heard of paradise?'
Standing. He said 'sit down don't be a parasite'
I said 'I might just parachute myself away from here'
He said 'stop clowning you're about to me a man, aight?
You think that all this growing happens overnight, you do
But life's a game of decisions and now you HAVE to choose
You hear your family, you're the one they're talking bout
You said you would save them but now you feel like walking out?
You must love breaking promises
You must not want Nathalie to be a happy woman . . .'
I snapped at him and said 'you're really raising tension!'
Then that's when I realised the black man was my reflection . .

[Chorus]
I don't trip. I don't like whenever I'm told to take a hike
I don't want to run. I might just go provoke a fight
We all think we know what we don't. We try see to far into the future
This is a real young man voyage

[Verse 2: Mr Mackie]

Seconds pass as second chance
Shakes her waist and flaps and asks
You gon pass this up again?
In the past I could pretend
New beginnings spell ‘The End’ like e n d
I snap and take my pick as I glance – TMZ take my pic
On moments gone with second chance
It ain’t all black and white, though she flaunts her checkered pants
Interest only builds by the price of her advance
But I’m far away from lust oblivious towards her plans
Spinning and spiralling from the source, tryna handle liquid swords, and
I been sworn by my family that I would gain awards
Warned before the war
Broken walls had worn
Torn between the outcomes and predictions from before
Confidence must station to fade these frustrations
To cradle from the fear of potential trust breaking
Inspire the energy to please reawaken
Cause I ain’t got no shell to hide into like crustaceans


[Chorus](x2)
