Mecca Rebell - Make Your Own Love [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

First Verse
Where I come from what I do ain't supported
Hip Hop's not something commonly exported
Mama tellin' me to focus on the academics
Yea I got you but lack of passion is an epidemic
Ma you don't understand cause you come from a different world
Vietnamese refugee as a little girl
Raised in the countryside got traditional values
We got the same eyes but it's different lens I see through
Which is why you don't really get what I do
Truly want to make you proud but I got nothing to prove
I love you so much but I love what's true too
We all naked in face of death so there's nothing to lose
It's not culture clash, it's identity clash
Where you come from Mama it was all about the cash
Times have changed though humanity as a whole
Reaches higher consciousness that's the way to go
Took time for me to understand your worry comes from love
But it's best to not hold your kid back instead give a shove
Don't stress Mama, hakuna matata
I find my way either way just like potato potata!

Let me fly Mama! I'm no longer asking you, I'm telling you. I got wings and I'ma use 'em. Don't get me wrong this is no goodbye. It's just sometimes I feel there's just

Second Verse
As a full-time student school's a big part of my life
But we'd be divorced way back if it was my wife
Here the regimented school is an industrial factory
Kids of all sorts hammered down to conformity
Art dance music at the bottom of the hierarchy
This can only be described as Gnarls Barkley
At the apex are the sciences and mathematics
They don't understand with every kid it's a different talent
When I raise my hand haltin' to a stop the automatic
Overseer says “Shut up, just take a stab at it”
Schools are gonna crumble, with these tactics
I wouldn't have a prob if half the shit taught was pragmatic
Hate the school system, but I love learning
Life's more than a day to day shit to make some earnings
External expectations, got my soul churning
Still this creative spirit, keeps on burning!

Now don't be stupid y'all, and just drop out of school if you don't know yet what you truly want to spend your time and your life doing. But you know, sometimes I feel there's just, there's just...
