Reference - Drawnist [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[prod. Reference]

[Verse 1]
Sweat runnin' down my back like it's scared of my mouth, dog
Stand still, scare crows cuz I'm uncouth, dog
Uh, I step forward like I'm summoned to
Down a pint of Papa's brew, wearing like a hunnid' bruises
But I'm lost in a fog-screen with monsters
Mumblin' my words like I'm tryn'a rap with ulcers
And find what I lost, I'm looking for a light
But I can't find a match, cuz I didn't lose the fight
I'm more aware than I should be
Uh,I feel free, but less so than I could be
Hey, why I'm in this precinct?
Treading in this water; well I've always got my reasons
Black-hearted as I want to be
And all these other fuckers here is wannabes
I got a cold mind, but spit fresh like I eat snow
And when you hear it your brain freeze like you bit ice, yo

[Hook]
If I was drawn, I'd still represent my quarter
Whether that part of me becomes my wife, son or my daughter
To be drawn ain't an art it's another man's page
Dog I will rage, rage at the dying of the stage... (x2)

[Verse 2]
Words runnin' off my mind like they're drawn to the mic, dog
One thing my mind is rifer with than rap, is dem knifes, dog
Step back from me, if you think you're half as stern
And artists burn, so we're drawn to the kern
Of the last man's last letter, my legacy should go beyond the cheese
And the sourdough, and other cash analogies
That I leave my descendants, who I wish not to be descenders
I would wish that they raise the dirt from the cleansers
Know what I mean? But knowledge can't be ascribed to where I been
That's be an obscene way of offending my own intellect and yours
I be speakin' out and listenin', wherever that I could
So my mind is deeper and my speech became a little less good
I know how to stretch this craft, I can sketch my last words
On a plaque of waveform, and surf 'em till they etch away
I know how to stretch this craft, but I can't sketch my last words
In a plaque of waveform.. cuz they're beyond words
