MC Enoch - Coexist [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: MC Enoch]

They asking why my music always got to be so negative
They say that with a club banger I can be competitive
I tell them that this knowledge that I'm kicking in preventative
To wake the people up from living like they on a sedative
And see them take a stand for the rights these leaders took
Making sure that these kids know it's alright to read a book
And understand that your worth can't depend on how you look
And not to ever trust a cop even if you ain't a crook
And don't you ever overlook what your seeing as a threat
And you need to understand that having freedom isn't debt
But the people that's in charge have got us tangled in a net
And they make you think it's worth it just by dangling a check
We gon' see that they regret everything they ever did
Instead of treating us like men they only seen us as a kid
Every rhyme that you see it spreads the need for getting rid
Of the people that's responsible for causing us to skid
So I kick


[Hook: MC Enoch] x2

Raw knowledge but it's meant to uplift
Cause a shift in the consciousness just count it as a gift
Writing rhymes until I'm blowing out my wrist
With the hope that minds grow while showing how to coexist


[Bridge]


[Verse 2: MC Enoch]

Every single lyric that I ever wrote and recited
Was done with love for the people that the system divided
Who fight among themselves because of these conditions provided
And turn to drugs that only get them locked up or indicted
And mandatory minimums keep slavery a reality
Two and a quarter million people kept away from their family
It all falls in line with the corporate mentality
That their profit margins outweigh the health of humanity
Your nationality alone shouldn't fill you with pride
Growing up to find out history teachers had lied
And your tax dollars are the reason many people have died
And the way they keep control is keeping you terrified
And that's the reason that we ride ready for a revolution
The media that they provide is only serving as pollution
And they way they got you thinking is like self persecution
Dog I'm tired of all the faking now I'm making a contribution


[Hook: MC Enoch] x2
