Roble Regal - GOOD THINGS [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]

I try to keep my mind on the good things
Cause Lord, I've seen some trouble, seen some bullshit
And life is too short for the nonsense
I pray you keep your head above the water
I pray you take it easy on your conscience
Shadow weighing heavy on our shoulders
Cause we were in the ghetto moving boulders
Snow, getting colder, Cola - that soda (oh!)
Shake it, shake it, shake it, trying to blow up
Used to get our kilos from NOLA
Used to get our weapons from Texas
Got a little accent, now you know why (oh!)

[Chorus]

I try to keep my mind on the good things
Cause Lord, I've seen some trouble, seen some bullshit
And life is too short for the nonsense
I pray you keep your head above the water

I try to keep my mind on the good things
Cause Lord, I've seen some trouble, seen some bullshit
And life is too short for the nonsense
I pray you take it easy on your conscience

[Verse 2]

My nigga, killed my nigga.. killed my nigga!
And then he threw his body in a river
He dumped it in The Humber, yeah he did it
He dumped him in The Humber, yeah he did!
I cried then I asked Lord forgive him
I cried and I cried cause we're sinners
There's a hole in the boat that we're on
There's a hole in the boat and we're drowning
I'm just trying to keep my head above the water
Just trying to keep my head above the water!
Lord forgive our sons and our daughters
There are lot of sons in the darkness, ironic

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Knock Knock, police at the door
Put a lot of stress on my mama
No No, my son he ain't home
They were looking for me and my partners
We were 50 Cent inspired
Broke, it was get rich or die trying
Started moving work in the projects!
Life shot at me but I dodged it, I dodged it!
Cause the federals came, we got raided
Half of the block incarcerated
Power vacuum, I'm trying to take it
One of my best friends then betrayed me
They slayed him

[Chorus]
