MC Crae - Look Alive [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

This is business/this is blood and sweat and tears
This is what you feel when you can’t impress your peers
With any simple thought/with any small idea
I can say I’ve been there but shit, I am still here
So what you gonna do when you have an opportunity
To prove em wrong and remove you from the scrutiny
And what you are is a product of what used to be
I say take it and go and embrace it from you to me
Burn down all empty promises and insults
Rise above all your mistakes and own faults
They’ll have to lock you up and stick you in your own vault
But you’ll leave em in the dust from the asphalt
So are you grinding every day, just to get to what you need
Or working for the pleasure and the pain with the greed
But when your ideas flow a million miles an hour
That is how you really generate the power

Take the pen from the artist but you cannot take his thoughts
Take the light from the hole there’s still a way out of dark
Take the office away but the business is running
What I’m saying is it’s possible to make something from nothing
There’s a way to succeeding so follow this procedure
Breathe it breed it believe it achieve it
Exceed it with teamwork and that will all
Continue to make that dream work
I have a problem with the youth of the nation
One thing my generation lacks is innovation
And originality of their creations
They wanna conform to what they see in other pages
We were all born with angels and demons
Along with capability to become a leader
We see the stars and think “I’d love to see them”
But would you rather meet em, or you rather be em
