Sleep of Oldominion - Broke [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Growing up we never had much, but we had love
That was enough to pick us up when it got tough
So we fell down, everyone loses sometimes, its certain
A charmed life just may be dark behind curtains
I’m just glad whenever I’m hurting I have you in my corner getting me through, keeping it working
Without you I had no purpose you had my back throughout this
You got me through the worst like I deserve it
What am I talking about, we all deserve it
Whatever your version, whatever you’re giving
You should be receiving the same you, got to believe you're worth it
Got to keep dreaming and turning your wheels and building with people that’s working
Not sit around on the couch all with no purpose
I believe in all of my people we gonna break through
Let me take a second to thank you
Not matter how hard it ever got you never let it break you
And that’s saying a lot cause we never got a lot, we made due
Yea they broke the mold when they made you

[Chorus]
Been a struggle for everybody
There hasn’t been a lot for you or me
We don’t got money, but we have each other
We gonna make it through and we got family (x2)
And there is nothing stronger
My people are (broke)
My country is (broke)
My pockets are (broke)
My future is (broke)
My dreams are (broke)
My hope is (broke)
My wheel ain’t (broke)
My mic gets (broke)
The system is (broke)
The music biz (broke)
The middle class (broke)
These politics (broke)
Their promises (broke)
The Vatican (broke)
Man I wish I could fix it but it’s (broke)

[Verse 2]
Growing up we didn’t know much
But what they showed us on television listening to racist grownups
Talk about my neighbors like they really know us
But who needs them anyway that shitty show sucks
Sorry got caught up in the moment
Got my edumacation from somewhere else
Found out about playing chess in front of union statio
Opened the flood gate to being patien
Know what I’m saying, oh, you don’t okay keep waiting
That’s what it felt like my whole life
Sitting back stage waiting for show time, but they never call my name, and it’s all the same
You never know you could be gone today
So I’m on the straight
It’s not my fault when I walk on plates
And I make the earth shake with the words I say
Because it’s a perfect day
To kick a verse and say
That I love music come and take the hurt away

[Chorus]
Been a struggle for everybody
There hasn’t been a lot for you or me
We don’t got money, but we have each other
We gonna make it through and we got family (x2)
And there is nothing stronger
My people are (broke)
My country is (broke)
My pockets are (broke)
My future is (broke)
My dreams are (broke)
My hope is (broke)
My wheel ain’t (broke)
My mic gets (broke)
The system is (broke)
The music biz (broke)
The middle class (broke)
These politics (broke)
Their promises (broke)
The Vatican (broke)
Man I wish I could fix it but it’s (broke)
