PHZ-Sicks - Live This Life [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: PHZ-Sicks]
We’ve come a long way since beepers
But it’s 2013 and it’s still a sad thing that we pray that niggas don’t die over sneakers
Am I my brother’s keeper? Follower or a leader?
Keep on going with doing my thing or make sure that they keep up
See they want to delete us, make sure the street sweeper sweep us
But whenever I see us, I want to elite us
On that upper echelon, showing ‘em what type of shit we on
Cause what’s at stake right now is more than a filet mignon
No more saying when I get on, when I see success, I senton bomb
Paid my dues like child support as if life was my baby mom’s
Went through it and stayed calm, you can’t buy self-worth on Amazon
No longer want to stress this order like I just got back from ‘Nam
Mon, you’re in the presence of a legend, it’s a blessing
Am I the greatest? That’s rhetorical, so no question
Cause whenever I spit, spirits will get lift
Treat your presences like a motion picture, cause tomorrow is a gift dot gif

[Hook]
In this life, I was just trying to keep up
Now ambition got me thinking ‘bout red bottom sneakers
The red carpet I may just sneak up
Award show my name might crep up
I'm just trying to eat and now each track
Got me thinking potluck
Cause we persevered through the plight
So let me fix the bar on my tie
Damn right, I’m gonna look nice
My hands up when I see the spotlight
My life is starting look bright
We only got one chance to get it right
With all the hell that we been through, you know I’m gonna go and live this life, right

[Verse 2]
This that oral tradition of a native tongue that was once hung, that once sung
In a field that freedom, would one day, soon come
Once was, stacked upon, each other and sent across
The Atlantic to a place they never scene
That once were called human beings
That once were called Kings and Queens
Tell me Lord, do you hear this?
With all that bad comes greatness so why do I fear this?
They say small minds can’t even comprehend a big spirit
Shit, hope they get migraines when they hear this
My Bret Hart beat
Just trying to be, the best there is, the best there was, and the best there’s ever gonna be
Put that on my mama, see, while building my legacy
Came a long way from being strange fruit hanging from a tree
See, you can never bring me down
Ever since I was baptized in the waters where Emmett Till was found
Cause this life that I’m making and my soul is never breaking
Especially when you trying to save more lives than crack has ever taken, taken

[Hook]
…
Right
(repeat x4)

[Bridge]
Seen so much
Through these eyes
Trying to do right
Living this life
(repeat)

You know I’m gonna live this life
So you know we gonna celebrate tonight
You only got one change to get it right
So we’re gonna have to do it up tonight (night)
(repeat)

[beat change]

[Hook 2]
You know I’m gonna live this life
So you know we gonna celebrate tonight
You only got one change to get it right
So we’re gonna have to do it up tonight
(repeat)

[Verse 3: PHZ-Sicks]
Never done molly, know people who roll ecstasy
Just give me a chick name Molly rolling in my Spirit of Ecstasy
Sitting right next to me, trying to get the best of me
While listening to Best of Me in the club standing on couches raucously
Looking out in to the ocean and what I’m standing on is my piers
Now my hands in your girl’s hair, in the back of her roots like Ahmir
Planted my flag down ever since I got here
And if you’re living this life then put your glasses in the air, yeah
Cheers! To the pain that we turn to champagne
Cheers! To the doubt that we turn to flying out
Cheers! To the state of mind of state of mine
Cheers! To turning hours in to our time
Cheers! To taking less and making it our best
Cheers! To the women that also wear the crown
Cheers! To standing up instead of running out
Cheers! Let me stop talking, get to drinking now (now)

[Hook 2]

[Outro: PHZ-Sicks]
Uh
Success breeds success, happiness breeds happiness
The more of what you want will be a part of who you are
So on that note, everybody in this place, get busy with it
