Memnon The Black - Soul's Don't Die [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1 - Memnon]
I've got a lot to do
Try hard not to think I've got a lot to lose
I got fooled, a 100 racks for school?
And I didn't even finish, got a lot to prove
But that's cool
Guess I learned a couple things
Society got no love for me
I tried to be what they wanted, please believe easy street was not there for me
And you can think what you wanna think
But I know my weakness don't make me
Free your mind or you won't be free
Take some time to just touch those leaves
Kiss the Earth with each step you take and watch, you can harness that energy
Redirect towards what you need
And be patient man
But just one more thing...

[Chorus]
Just meditate
Close your eyes and you can levitate
X4
I'm the king of my own mind
You can't rule over me
I know my roots and my own thoughts are the only thing that can mold me, so
Step back if you want me dead
Step up if you want this bread
We can get it if we try hard
Go farther than we ever could have thought
Oh Jah

[Verse 2: Memnon]
To my old thoughts said, "Au revoir"
To the freedom it's "Bonjour"
Bonchon chicken on the counter with my car keys
Started this thought pattern that will make matter out of energy
Honestly, cover worry with some concrete
Trust me, it'll pay off in the long run
Eating lunch in the class with my little cuz kinda had me thinking deeper than she could have ever thought
Trynna guarantee freedom for my whole fam
I can see it in the distance
Ion really gotta stress knowing that the homies gonna hold me down
I just gotta be the Chief bitch
This new mindset got me feeling limitless
But my old debt got me feeling so low
So glad I got a soul that can never die
Digging in the box, only one thing left, Hope

[Sample from Iron Giant]

[Verse 3 - Memnon]
I done made some mistakes in my lifetime
Fucked up but you don't see me crying do ya
Ask me, I was waiting for the right time
And that's now, catch a nigga saying Halleluhjah
Celebrating like a brotha got a Pell Grant
Steady watching out the window for the popo
Some days I be feeling like hell yea
Some days, man, Ion even know yo
But I'll prolly do the same damn thing
Cuz a little bit of bud with some Bud Lite so nice
No lice, but my hair long, Bo Bice
No fights, take your shades off, good vibes
In my presence you can travel to your own world
Let me make a little tea for you homegirl
S'all good, sit back, this a different kinda rap
You don't really gotta act
And a Shaman knows this (what's that?)

[Chorus]
Just meditate
Close your eyes and you can levitate
X4
I'm the king of my own mind
You can't rule over me
I know my roots and my own thoughts are the only thing that can mold me, so
Step back if you want me dead
Step up if you want this bread
We can get it if we try hard
Go farther than we ever could have thought
Oh Jah

Than we ever coulda thought...

Matter out of energy....

Whats that?..
