MD (Canadian) - Good Intent [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook: Rohan]
Got the good intent, bad living
Tryna separate the fact from the fiction
The man from the mind, the rhyme from the rhythm
And... yeah we still kicking
Got the good intent, bad living
Tryna separate the fact from the fiction
The man from the mind, the rhyme from the rhythm
And... yeah we still kicking

[Verse 1: MD]
You know I'm tryna find a balance
And I'm searching for faith to keep my pessimism silent
Skepticism crying out, tears upon the eyelid
And I'm thinking 'bout the past, I guess it's my apologizing
Dear God, I'm 'bout to write an open letter
Dedicated to the angels that are watching from the heavens
My family behind me in the mind and all the sessions
While I'm rapping every sentence, instead of praying to the reverends
Got me asking all 'em questions, focus all demented
Do I do it for the love or do I do it for the mentions?
Am I in it for the music, or in love with the attention?
Tryna figure how to set it, while the burbs are what I'm reppin'
Difficulty setting on 7, while the pencil's in possession
And a writer's block as heavy as a burden on a felon
Can't relate, but though I've never killed a man
I've got a plan to catch a murder, spitting wicked writtens 'till the lyrics kill 'em

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Rohan]
I got that lone lion mentality, no eyes on the salary
If it happens like that, the chrome fires right back at me
My face on that nickel plate, the outcome:
Blast at tremendous rates-- I can't outrun myself
Nah... that steel mirror got me crumbling
Move backwards; is it real or am I just fronting?
When the curtains get to raising and the burners get to blazing
How do you go through the motions when in certain situations
I'm motionless, so I don't got to--
Hostile tryna pop through a case of emotionless-ness
Exit left, cause the stage done had enough
Of you adamant mannequins tryna crack my clique
This is real life fictionalized
Living the rhyme, pick up a dime, toss it in the wishing well
A bit of my time's gone... rolling down the river
Life's a snuff film with the close-up on the picture, like...

[Hook]

[Verse 3: MD & Rohan]
Take a loss before the winning; sacrifice is essential
My mental sinning on a quest to wisdom just to make 'em listen
Gotta make a big decision while I'm sitting in position
On a mission with a distant destination; mind is racing
On this occupation, vision is amazing ever-bracing
For them desperate trials, tribulations, plus the different types of agitations
Jotting notes from all the lessons, now I'm pacing to the finish
Tryna rap with good intentions
