Paranom - Liftin' Weight [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Verse 1)
I wish this was an allegory, for what glory, unfold in time
You might live to fight another day while the world is behind //
Draggin all they business to the grave and they pain combined
To another chapter on the page, engravin the prescription //
Like a slave, to bottles hollows and AIDS
And more white pills for blacks to cover grays //
Hair relaxed-- thumbs up like a tack, to bust in treys
And be a poster child of the sage, conjurin rage for change //
So put your energy, on whatever your remedy
Orajel on lion teeth bitin down on henessey //
To brush away the memory, enemy the legacy
Perspective only everything, butter see machetes swinging //
Thinkin death is all it mean but this a slice for thicker bread
People infected by a germ that wind up in your head //
No idol before the God is what the 1st commandment said
On big stone tablets, broke down by them addicts //
Church in the attics, subscribin to the issue
Where you're savage, if you don't wear knee pads for your cabbage //
Am I high, or should God not give a fuck about lavish?
In the basement, the underground got the highest attainment //
But shorty only change her shoe game that's amazin
To cut corners to road blocks-- fed cheese by agents //
Them niggas in wagons-- bands playin them ancient
Tunes where niggas doomed, for some room, up in the womb //
And got so much life where a tomb, is the addiction
Rest mixin up the best to your chest, weed and sex, to caress //
The cures pedis and manis would manifest
In these times, I ante the Anti Christ to your steps //
To define, just goin back home like mama's breast
My zone to bend the test, to my rules to coalesce //
Major from the minuscule is the best, what a favor
Your fall reveal where you should go from what you savor //

(Bridge)
I walked up to the lock like hold this key
Think I should stop for the people just to notice me //
See how cops love power man-- I hope not me
I'm on the watch for myself-- I might need some help my nigga //

(Verse 2)
I see my tunnel vision, just hopin it doesn't blind me
Would be a cataclysm, if focus could never find me //
I separate the good and evil-- Piccolo and Kami
Lit mind like a swami, walkin on what rewind me //
Fast for what remind me, I'm fuckin with the things that
Motivatin' propagation the future no being sloppy //
Bustin, carbon copies rushin' gas up in a IV
For five weeks, hustlin' for six days-- restin on that //
Future pay-- fuselage, size blunts-- cuz niggas just die once
On vial fronts, gold dreams endin' up green with envy //
Schemes-- plenty seen for reality-- my nigga Nick
Fam tell me how the present sad to see //
He take a swig, nigga wanna battle me and talkin
How he held them guns in combat, gun noises-- grabbin' me with dumb choices //
Had to grab a knife up out the kitchen just to lower noises and shit
That one day, fuck with this nip //
A code word to say-- I'm done mang-- army gave him 50K
To kill niggas and that shit was drunk away //
Night time the sun at bay, lookin for a brighter day
Through lighter ways, drugs came to say you gotta pay //
With all your, soul and honor bring drama just karma
Foldin, over niggas thought they cold now them niggas frozen //
Bold-- shorties more liquor-- more vic explodin'
No rubber-- you was chosen, just to keep the cycle goin, damn //

(Chorus)
I need to shed this weight to free my soul…
I hate when I escape and lose control... //

(Bridge)
