Mojoe - Strange Revival [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook] x2
They say the Kingdom divided shall fall...
We must be Kings and Queens cause they dividing us all
Dividin' us all -
Dividin' us all -
We must be Kings and Queens cause they dividin' us all

[Verse 1: T.R.R.E.]
Raids on the side of the city where they show us no love
You can't show no pity out there hustlin' dubs
Sippin' syrup and poppin' pills - Some of us does
Where the most respected are killers and niggas hustlin' drugs
Where guns get popped, guns get cocked, bullets fly
And every week unfortunately, man, somebody die
Guns, drugs, and poverty, shit - That's an evil mix
An epidemic in the styx of jada marcy bricks
Our leaders is block meters, our teachers is poor geekers
And the most successful four go to college and they always leave us
And never come back and when they come back they swing them 'lac's
Lookin' down at us niggas like we some different blacks
We place our culture with surpin' soda and gettin' paid
Blowin' kill, and pumpin' chief, and gettin' laid
And all that diamond and shinin' - Man that shit is played
Cause all my people out here dyin' trying to live a day

[Hook] x2

[Verse 2: Bavu Blakes]
We - We - We got immaculate sound
So I know you're hearing me, now
Prolly wasn't around, when my spirit was down
I mostly stayed to myself - Isolated myself
Stayed true to them blue - Bavu ain't make it myself
Could have flip-flopped a bent, in the face of the trends
Point A to B to pay the rent, but I know it's a sin
Well you know you ain't supposed to do somethin' but do it and still
It takes faith and patience to wait to let him do his will
D.F.W. to ATX, Alia, and if it don't fit in your club: Don't play it then
But say it came around and we used to be strangers then
What you sayin' then? Go 'head, say it then
Now Karem Abdul-Jabar, man he was tall
But he had a squad, yeah he balled with Magic Jamal
Got him a ring, get the meaning I'm bringin' my team in
How convenient a CD you can go buy at the mall, or church

[Hook] x2

[Verse 3: Easy-Lee]
To my people in the lower 9
Just know you shine in the eyes of the greatest minds
The greatest teacher let him lead ya and I'm sure you'll find
A great reward for your struggle on the other side
A single mother cries - While that father on the grind dies inside
This is wintertime - "Thou shalt not kill on a picket sign"
I'm on a picket line - Niggas brighten like they happy just to murder cappy
I'm back home with my brother layin' bricks down
When I hear a gun blast - Then the tires peel
See the neighbors gather 'round cause they knew the child
And this is every day - Two or three a day
So I do my track too on that new J - like Lupe
I'm Kickin' and I'm Pushin' for a new way
Cause the old way's cooled as the DJ

[Hook]
