Mantra - Loudmouth [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Ugh, alright
My teachers always told me I'd never amount to nothing
And they may have been right, that's why I jump on a mic
Every night, because when I jump on a mic
That's how I know that I'mma be alright (Well I'mma be alright)
My entire life I only had one skill
Never had a crazy ambition to fulfil
While all the other kids were busy ticking those boxes
I was busy cracking jokes, hanging out by the lockers
I was just another loudmouth
Had a voice so loud, it couldn't be drowned out
Teachers hated me from the minute they found out
Like here we go, here's another fucking class clown
Another genius who thinks he's a comedian
Even though his IQ's barely intermediate (true)
Though I never did believe what they were feeding us
So I made up my mind to make trouble

[Hook]
I am a loudmouth
Like it or not, I am never gonna pipe down
I've been the same since playing on playgrounds
Which is why I'm never gonna put the mic down
I am a loudmouth
Like it or not, I am never gonna pipe down
Making noise is all I've ever been good at, yo
So I'mma do that, yeah so I'mma do that

[Verse 2]

Ugh, I was sitting in the back, scribbling my raps
Trying to conceal what was hidden in my bag
So the faculty would try to teach my family a thing or two
Whenever the time came for parent teacher interviews
He is constantly distracting all the other kids
And Mr. Davison's pride is still recovering
There's no use, there is nothing to be done with him
He's gonna end up leeching all his money from the government
Look at Thomas, he's got so much promise
A bright future in politics, or even economics
And Mary, she's already got a scholarship to college
A photographic memory and encyclopaedic knowledge
What did I care about acing a maths exam
I wanted to go and get baked in Amsterdam
Maybe travel the outback in a camper van
Make some money off the books, cash in hand
I really thought I knew it all
Little did I know, I didn't know enough for anything at all
All I knew is I was destined to become an MC
When everybody in the class, started listening to me

[Hook]

[Bridge]

Yes I know
There's just one thing one thing one thing that I can do
(So what?)
So I gotta amplify my voice and speak to you
And I don't know
Where I will go or might end up throughout my life
So all I know
Is that I gotta keep on keep on speaking to my people

[Verse 3]

Alright, here we go again
Yo, I always had the mouth, but never had the muscle
And that mouth used to get me in a lot of trouble
I've been outspoken as long as I've been housebroken
Since I could walk, I've been running my mouth broseph
I won't stop until my energy's spent
I could talk underwater with a mouth fill of cement
I could talk in a tornado, talk buried in snow
But I ain't no informer, I can talk better than snow
I talked my arse off until I gained a reputation
Now I talk to the generation I was raised in
And it may only last a few minutes
But it sure is fun talking shit for a living
You know why

[Hook]
