MD (Canadian) - Cruel World [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: MD]
You may relate if you stray from the commonest traits
That represent what you ain't, whether you honest or fake
Epidermal dichotomy, honestly hate
And pigmentation I say, is never flawless today
In terms of recognition given, the importance of race
Is pretty staggering, apparently determines your fate
Whether you rap or you skate; the way you dress or you speak
Vocabulary high, but the slang embedded in me
Used to doubt that... until I said it and seen
That I gotta ditch a stigma meant to meddle in me
Me? Ain't really rich or ballin', but I rap to a T
Oh, are... you noticing it's mentally weak
To make assumptions on the attitudes developing, see
We live on a planet together, dammit, the damage is damaging
Man, it's hampering life, equality tampering
Peep the features, characteristics and cultural limits
Solely based upon beliefs, we gotta act what our skin is?
Nah, I'm thinking different...

[Modified Hook: MD]
Goodbye...
I think I've had it with the habits, and I've finally decided to fly... away
Cruel world... goodbye
You see I really love to live, but now the people got me desperate to hide
Cruel world, goodbye

[Verse 2: MD]
Guess it's funny; we living with stereotypes
I think I spend too much of my life
With concerns how I fit 'em, and how I try and be different
Still a black kid spittin', fit in Nikes and a fitted
Or a snapback, listen to a track that has that
Dope sound to it, not giving rap a bad rap
Blast that, as that... song plays, sad fact:
World tryna box me in, I'm looking past that
Problem is, you out the norm: and it's a brash act
And when you in the norm, you do some numbers, but you add stats
Demographics; I wanna leave this world sometimes
Never made this song for advocating suicide
Problem comes from all the problems we got
All depressed, in shock; problems finding what to rhyme
To say I hate the world is probably a reach
But then again, to say I hate the hate is definite truth
The rationale behind it is beyond me
And my mind is running circles; life has got me a caught in a loop
Some of society is social indifference--
At the same damn time: the world is based on dividends
All cool, we're bringing in immigrants
I'm pretty livid cause we're showing 'em ignorant attitudes
Cause our latitude is totally different
Colour coding's alive, we know nobody's listening

[Hook]
Cruel world... goodbye
I think I've had it with the habits, and I've finally decided to fly... away
Cruel world... goodbye
You see I really love to live, but now the people got me desperate to hide
Cruel world, goodbye

[Verse 3: Zen]
She don't love me, at the moment I'm struggling
Chase dreams with more time than I'm afforded, support it
Days I wish space was no factor, trying to be a rapper, a poet
You notice, how they try to kill it
So I'm here vibing in the moment
Sleep is getting harder when I'm knowing
Tomorrow is another day-- no avoiding, I'm sorry
Sometimes its super pessimistic
If I get angry, change, we'll make it?
Searching in this emptiness that we call home
If I get angry, they are waiting
For the rise and fall, like its my own
I accepted my fate, no way to fight, no way to change
Get it? There's no getting violent
Only my thoughts, think the same thing I thought when I lost her
What a cruel world

[Hook]

[Outro: Zen]
I wonder do the stars cry while witnessing a supernova
Tears of joy for a life long lived
Or pain for a fallen comrade?
I wonder do the birds ever laugh at those who are grounded
In amazement at their lack of mobility
Or cruelly at those who long for the sky?
I wonder are the rain drops falling
To continue an eternal life
Or to seek the thrill of a natural high?
I wonder if I was put here with a purpose watch the stars aligning with the clouds
Or to slowly watch my adventure pass me by
I wonder...
