SaeMonae - Better Days [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Verse 1:
I try to keep my composure
While the devil sits on my shoulder
On my knees praying as the world gets colder
Evil thoughts seem to rack my brain
Because this life I once knew is no longer the same
Things change people come and go
That’s just how it goes
Nobody seems to know why
And we don’t question it
Maybe until we’re heaven sent
The reason why we all die
Some get comfortable
They become stones in their lifestyles
Just to make a statement
They go out and buy a glass house
I’m throwing stones in mine just because I want out
Unlearn their teachings
See the world with my third eye
Hear with my cerebellum
Fly with the birds high
Maybe then I’ll be right by God
Cause as of right now
I’m not living life my God
I keep telling myself to pick up that pen
Start over again
See myself with some friends
Thoughts telling me:
“This life ain't for you
This ain’t the purpose God sent you to
But whatever it is he gone get you through
And we gone see some better days until the sky is blue”

Chorus:
(x4)
In due time
The light will shine
We gone see better days
And things gone change

Outro:
(x2)
Y’all wondering when them tapes gone drop
I’m wondering when the hate gone stop
If we all join hands
Who they gone block
Rebels aren’t criminals
We dodge locks
