Slyrex - Make A Change [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Verse 1
I came from nothing
A child with broken dreams
Watched his father die, I'm alone it seems
Jailed several times, filled with hopeless dreams
Law's not for a nigger, I'm only me
Struggle against the world and it's hold on me
But find what I once loved isn't home for me
Give me a way out, I can't stay here
I keep breaking down as I'm tryna face fears
And stay near as I fall to the pavement
They tell me I don't even know what my real name meant
I'm broken by the weight of their expectations, I'm chained at the bottom and I'm maimed man
Lost in this hate and
I might break, let em hang man
Can't even handle the pain &
If I shoot for the stars, I fall to the ground
The clouds just too far away man
But in my heart, instilled in the pain
A drive that stronger than the real that constrains
I rise to my feet, feel the will to remain
I'm Malcolm Little, and I will make a change
(gunshot)

Hook
I wanna keep rising
I wanna be the greatest in the world
No matter what they say
I wanna make a change
Cause we got one life, one love, gotta make it count
Cause it's bigger than the cars or what's in the bank account
The world
No matter what they say
I wanna make a change
(and I will make a change)
(and I will make a change)

Verse 2
I am strong, I am proud
My mother told me that back when I'd lie down
In a crib, while my father preached sermons and taught me to swim
In a world where I might drown
Jesus, The light I found
Is a way through this darkness, my heart's torn apart at this nonsense
You don't wanna treat me the same?
Storm clouds here, I can see through the rain
And notice the fact that they hate us
I wanna know why they degrade us
I wanna know why they can see us just cry & still wanna go and berate us
I wanna know why it's dangerous
To speak out against it by night
You know something's wrong when in my life
Going to sleep is the high light
Give me a chance to show that I'm worthy
Before you judge & try to just hurt me
I don't even need you to serve me
Just curb the wrath you incur, B
In my heart, instilled in the pain
A drive that's stronger than the real that constrains
I rise to my feet, feel the will to remain
I'm Martin Luther King and I will make a change
(gunshot)
