P.R - Long Walk (Remix) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Up one night took a long walk
Couldn't sleep I had these thoughts
About me as a little kid
In the city of New York
It was 1986
Crack was out there crazy bricks
All my family in the mix
Grandpa on some gangster shit
The only thing to keep me sane
The only thing to soothe my pain
Was the sound of Rakim's voice
Or the moves of Big Daddy Kane
Heroes to me was Kool G Rap
Slick Rick and KRS one DMC
Jam master Jay
Joey Simmons
Reverend Run
Hip hop music made me numb
To living in poverty
The music made me feel so rich
Gunshots didn't bother me
I thank my parents for showing me
The music that his home to me
The culture that had grown with me
This way of life has molded me

The more I think about that night
Hip Hop might have saved my life
The more I think about that night
Hip Hop might have saved my life
The more I think about that night
Hip Hop might have saved my life
The more I think about that night
Hip Hop might have saved my life

On that night I'm walking slow
Out for Ls up at the store
But I'm jamming to some Dilla
Donuts just so all you know
Instrumentals make me flow
Writing rhymes I never went
That night heard the store got robbed
I heard customers got hit
Thank god that is wasn't me
Stopped my trip I had to write
Got back home and told my wife
Hip Hop might have saved my life
In retrospect it really did guiding me
Since we were kids
Lessons learned science dropped
Some of my teachers Nas & Big
Graffiti art pop and lock
DJs warming up the block
The voice of youth a lot of truth
Thank god for mom and pop
For being kids with a kid
Showing me the culture first
Hip Hop really quenched my thirst
With every beat and every verse
I always had to hear it first
Chuck Chillout and Red Alert
89 Virginia bound
Boodah brothers in my town
I met that nigga Wookie
Rest in peace this is a fact
The first words that he said to me
Was you look like you can rap
And that right there was way way back
Dedicated life
Two turntables and a Mic
Do it with or without a price
It just so happens I was nice
So mix no have sacrificed
In retrospect I made it through
Cause hip hop music saved my life

The more I think about that night
Hip Hop might have saved my life
The more I think about that night
Hip Hop might have saved my life
The more I think about that night
Hip Hop might have saved my life
The more I think about that night
Hip Hop might have saved my life

The more I think about that night
Hip Hop might have saved my life
The more I think about that night
Hip Hop might have saved my life
The more I think about that night
Hip Hop might have saved my life
The more I think about that night
Hip Hop might have saved my life
