Praverb the Wyse - The Critic [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Yeah, it's your boy Praverb the Wyse
You're listening to a beat from Stefano

Oscar Wilde stated:
That the critic has to educate the public
And the artist has to educate the critic
But what if you're the critic?

[Sample] Everybody's a critic

[Verse 1: Praverb]
I wake up with doubts, should I persue this?
Am I wasting time by writing this music?
In class I was a clown amongst the brightest of students
My willingness to learn became the influence
Waiting for my turn, the game is a gamble
Waiting for my shot I don't have a steady handle
Or aim, I proclaim, following footprints
Made in the sand by feet or a pair of sandals
A work in progress in need of repair
No reserve left am I retrieving a spare?
My worst critic is myself, check my health
Stressin', I should be happy breathing the air
Thankful for another day, an opportunity
Selfless acts change the 'I' to a community
It's time to influence the movement
Based on globalization and the promotion of unity

[Hook: Sample]
Don't say this, don't say that, change your lyric
Everybody's a critic
Don't say this, don't say that, change your lyric
Everybody's a critic
Don't say this, don't say that, change your lyric
Everybody's a critic
Don't say this, don't say that, change your lyric
Everybody's a critic


[Verse 2]
I write a rhyme and it's all for me to keep it
Release music, like gossip, sharing secrets
Past notebooks stay closed even rhymes a day old
Get erased because it's hard for me to read it
My own worst enemy, the mind is toxic
Blacked out nights thinking times are gothic
God has a sense of humor, it's not a rumor
Check the events and the signs he's dropping
I gotta shape up no need for a taper
I bleed for this music, will I bleed for the savior?
Depressed at the news or from readin' the paper
Slaying demons, can I be the demon slayer?
I offer critique, can I take the criticism?
Script knowledge with this mighty pen that I'm lifting
My own worst enemy, I try to excel
I tried but I fell but at least I'm living

[Hook]
