Prez Harris - Windy City [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Skit: Chicago Violence]

[Verse 1: Prez Harris]
We on the benches, look at the richest
They not even on the hitlist
Death within inches, at any mention
Feeling like we in the trenches
Violence at its highest and we supply it
Bullets flying Windy City innocent families crying
Pharell's happy tell me could we buy it
Some people struggle to eat on top of that we die it's
A shame but people thinks it's a game
Checkers put red on black until your king, make fat ladies sing
No taking Ls baby don't lack
Leave and return with a 45 like Jordan was back

[Hook: Prez Harris]
There's so much sadness in my city
Why so much happen in my city
I'm just rappin in my city, black up in my city
Just living black up in my city
Views from the chi
Happy I'm alive
Every single day I'm praying I don't die
Why so much happen in my city
Just living Black up in my city

[Verse 2: Prez Harris]
A bunch of profiling, no smiling, so violent
Hide behind the po sirens, really they just mo tyrants
Kill us cause we show signs of, being black
Then say we attacked, just if we talk back
So what we supposed to do with that
Hands up yelling don't shoot tell me how he lacked
Tell me how we supposed to act when cops want you straight shook
So if not ya dignity, your life is what they took
And it don’t matter bout ya Facebook if ya pic fit the profile
You the one that they book, Checkmate
Life's a game of chess, yes it's still just black and white
And you can lose it for one night

[Hook: Prez Harris]
There's so much sadness in this world
Why so much happen in this world
Man I'm just rappin in this world, black up in this world
Just living black up in this world
Views from the chi
Happy I'm alive
Every single day I'm praying I don't die
Why so much happen in this world
Just living Black up in this world

[Verse 3: Prez Harris]
Why should I be scared? Why should I be feared?
Better yet why should I feel like I shouldn't be here?
Why should I feel like I have to beware?
Why should I feel like all things'll be fair in a system that empowers ones whose skin fair?
And give fake cares act like they been there
Race quote on twitter, but then it ends there
Like it's taxing to affirm this action
We relaxin' pull Jesse Jackson still couldn't get a push
But who am I, I know y'all ain't heard me
Son of the clergy with a vision that seems blurry, but see
Since 42 we was good enough for the jersey
But even in LA they still don't think we worthy, I'm saying

[Outro: Prez Harris]
I don't know what to say I just know that it hurts
I wish I had the words just to make it all work

[Skit: National Problem]
