Mugen Styles - The Influence of Culture [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro/Chorus]
Influenced by culture/
Society a vulture/
Looking down on me/
With beady eyes/
Is he a sculpture/
Or just dead meat/
From the skies/
He’s so stand still/
Easy kill/
How this boy gonna say he for real?/

[Verse 1]
How this boy gonna say that he for real doe/
Question every turn, question every deal/
Sometimes you just gotta let the fire burn/
Reinvent the wheel/
Take what you’ve earned/
And learn to never kneel/
Peel back the layers/
Life is but an onion/
Better in that out/
Opposite of shrek belchin’/
Sun in my eyes/
I invite clear skies/
But sometimes it’s gotta rain/
Even god cries, the pain unbearable/
A world so terrible, and yet it’s a miracle/
Spiritual am I, so get with the times/
Life is but a climb, inside your own mind/
Never sure what you’re gonna find/
Brain, heart, spirit, intertwined/
Between life and death, I walk the line/
Fuck ace of base, I saw the sign/
And it opened up my eyes/

[Chorus]
Influenced by culture/
Society a vulture/
Looking down on me/
With beady eyes/
Is he a sculpture/
Or just dead meat/
From the skies/
He’s so stand still/
Easy kill/
How this boy gonna say he for real?/
Stand still/
Easy kill/
How this boy gonna say he for real?/

[Verse 2]
Roll with the punches, reciprocate the energy/
Full of corruption is the 21st century/
Destruction imminent/
Different is every citizen/
Each of us an instrument/
We have a part to play/
Save the day we must/
In humanity I trust/
Can vanity be tossed off the planet/
A plea of insanity, ya boy feel manic/
On the cusp of panic/
We must pull together/
We must help each other/
Time our father/
Nature our mother/
Years and acres unreachable/
A universe with an unforeseeable future/
Sooner or later/
We need to rise up/
Become our own savior/
And give these lies up/
May the odds forever be in our favor/
Self-creator, we can be our own maker/
Cause this world has never seemed faker/

[Chorus]
Influenced by culture/
Society a vulture/
Looking down on me/
With beady eyes/
Is he a sculpture/
Or just dead meat/
From the skies/
He’s so stand still/
Easy kill/
How this boy gonna say he for real?/
Stand still/
Easy kill/
How this boy gonna say he for real?/

[Verse 3]
The message is clear, lesson learned/
None of us want to sit and see our home burned/
It’s our turn to keep the earth turning/
Teach how to teach, and keep on learning/
Knowledge is power, the truth is power/
That will be true until the very last hour/
On this god forsaken piece of rock/
All we can do is let the clock tick/
It’s what we decide that makes it worth it/
Will we run and hide or face our fears/
The years to come will tell/
We fell prey to society/
But all that can change/
In a matter of minutes/
Nothing to lose/
So much to gain/
So let’s get to work/
While we still have the time to finish what we started/

[Outro]
Stand still/
Easy kill/
How this boy gonna say he for real?/
