Savan DePaul - Derell [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Samples "Who's Gonna Save My Soul" by Gnarls Barkley]

[Verse 1: Savan DePaul]
Meet Derell- a troubled young teen
Mom's been gone long, for weeks it seems
Father's not even around- an even worse fact
It's amazing that Derell's here on Earth intact
But he was still broken and choking
Words to his friends were barely spoken
He was full of anger, but hoping
That Satan would turn and stop tryin' to corrode things
What our subject fails to realize
He's still worth saving in the Good Lord's eyes

[Chorus]
Who's gonna save my soul now?
Who's gonna save my soul now?
How will my story ever be told now?
How will my story be told now?

[Verse 2]
Roaming the ghetto
This hood is screwed
While he has two women literally screwed
Derell's morals out of the window
Like blown out of a skyscraper to the ground below
And don't tell him that this is the wrong way to live
He threatens many with pistols and shit, missiles and fists
But can't steer his own life away from strife
Derell needs to disown the trife
Cause right now, he was blaming God for all this horror
And as for insanity, he was on the border...
And as for insanity, he was on the border...
And as for insanity, he was on the border...

[Chorus]
Who's gonna save my soul now?
Who's gonna save my soul now?
I wonder if I'll live to grow old now

[Verse 3]
Drug abuse and alcohol have made things horrible
Abandoned everything and retreated to a corridor
His eyes saw nothing but pain
The tears and the years of damage to his brain
He shouted, "Who's gonna save my soul now?!?"
But no one was around; he was alone now
Cold now with nowhere to go now
He didn't disown the trife or end his old strife
Instead, he opted to take his own life
Would he get the knife to cut?
Then he glanced at his prized shotgun
Shouted out to the sky, "God, you see what you've done!"
Without realizing he was the evil one
A single shot went off, bone broken by metal
And now Derell's doing a dance with the devil...
(*gunshot*)

[Chorus]
Who's gonna save my soul now?
Who's gonna save my soul now?
Oh, I know I'm out of control now
Oooohh, tired enough to lay my own soul down
