Rakaa Iriscience - Alive [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse One]
I got them, no trip, straight line rhymes
Like the Grand Concourse and 1-4-9
But in L.A. the writer's pitch was at Fairfax and Olympic
At [?] on the block where Ethiopians kick it
Salaam
It's like the mic's a part of my arm
I use it to make my mark on the world like Krylon
I give the special ladies a shoulder to cry on
And anyone that sleeps, a Platform to die on
Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck
Construction begins
But the original structure's within
You gotta keep living
Use all the gifts you've been given
And be precise with your blueprints
But these rookies are too sloppy to work the plan out
I tell 'em "Don't be to greedy to pull your hand out."
Cats that radiate can't help but stand out
We're travelling but air, sea and land route
Mega live, electrify, straight hazardous
Expansion Team sound system is sinking battleships
This is where poetry and pride collide
My advice is to survive y'all...stay alive

[Hook]
Stay alive y'all
Love life and live long
People live and let live, live right or live wrong
Stay alive y'all
Love life and live long
People live and let live, live right or live wrong
Stay alive y'all
Love life and live long
People live and let live, live right or live wrong
Stay alive y'all
"For the rest of life"
People live and let live, live right or live wrong

[Verse Two]
They want the best at work they want the best at play
They call R.A.K.A.A
A good enough reason for your crew to stay away
Aslan to The Bay, C.A. all day
I'ma, master builder, full service contractor
Hard hat cat with dump trucks and tractors
Respect sacred ground where spirits and bones live
Headed to pyramids and I've been to Stonehenge
So I, know the ingenuity of men
The original structure lies within
Live you got to live or you die within
If you don't live the truth you live a lie within
We build from the ground up you on deadly ground
I told y'all to take Caution on Unbound
I take flight then I cut through the night
If you clowns get too fly, you get gunned down
I'd rather build than battle
But I battle so we don't build another Tower of Babble
Trying to keep us together so I'm moving it worldwide
I'd advise you survive y'all
Stay alive

[Hook]
