Mr. Vargas - Common’s “Be (Intro)” [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I want to be as free as the spirits of those who left
I'm talking Malcolm, Coltrane, my man Yusef
Through death grew conception
New breath and resurrection
For wrongs, new steps in a direction
In the right way
Told her, "inside is where the fight lay
And everything a nigga do may not be what he might say."
Chicago nights stay, stay on the mind
But I write many lives, they, lay on these lines
Wavin' signs of the times
Many say the grind's on the mind
Shorties blunted-eyed and everyone wanna rhyme
Bush pushing lies, killers immortalized
We got arms but won't reach for the skies
Waiting for the Lord to rise
I look into my daughter's eyes
And realize that I'mma learn through her
The Messiah, might even return through her
If I'mma do it, I gotta change the world through her
Furs and a Benz, Gramps wantin 'em
Demons and old friends, Pops, they hauntin' him
The chosen one from the land of the frozen sun
Where drunk nights get remembered more than sober ones
Walk like warriors, we were never told to run
Explored the world to return to where my soul begun
Never looking back or too far in front of me
The present is a gift
And I just want to be
