Sto-ik The Poet - These Nights [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[INTRO: Sto-ik The Poet]

Yo, IEMC
These nights are so damn long
Drinkin' liquor 'til I can't go on
In the booth 'til the break of...
Yo

[VERSE 1: Sto-ik The Poet]

Sittin' with a bottle of liquor inside an empty hall
Nothin' but a pack of cigarettes are leanin' on the wall
I can hear the echoes of the past yellin' out the call
But I don't know if I should even pick'em up at all
The burnin' lights over the city, never seem to fade
Along with all the memories that never seem to age
As a little kid I never thought that I would dream this way
But thank God for another day
Cause I remember all the suicidal tendencies well
I swear I had the habits of somebody headed to hell
Misinterpreted youth, avoiding any not to dwell
Cause the reality was terrible, nobody could tell [Uh]
Nothin' but a beautiful disaster
Way too many tears to fill the funeral with laughter
I sit alone at night wonderin' what is after
Plannin' out the story of my life by the chapter

[HOOK: Sto-ik The Poet] x 2

These nights are so damn long
Drinkin' liquor 'til I can't go on
In the booth 'til the break of dawn
Somebody send me a postcard I'm gone

[VERSE 2: Sto-ik The Poet]

Yo
I didn't wanna hurt anybody, leave me alone
Nothin' is left, when you're right about bein' wrong
I got a scar in my chest, heart beatin' on
Standin' at Ontario Airport, I'm dreamin' on
About a better life for the people that I love, maybe
The sunny side of Southern California surely saved me
But the shit that made me was
The dark side of Cali, where it can get dangerous
Thank God I'm alive
I'm gonna reach the top, before my Mama's tears of happiness dry
They wouldn't follow the stride
Of somebody that couldn't swallow their pride
Survival is the competition and tomorrow's the prize
Yet, this is all I know
Give a little bit of love, respect is all I show
No matter where I go, I'm never losin' sight of my home
Tell Jay and Yeezy step aside, I'm here to fight for the throne [Uh]

[HOOK: Sto-ik The Poet] x 2

These nights are so damn long
Drinkin' liquor 'til I can't go on
In the booth 'til the break of dawn
Somebody send me a postcard I'm gone

[VERSE 3: LSD]

Drinking liquid courage impulsing down different avenues,[What's up]
Mad people showing love, support and gratitude
Never mind the haters, though I can't even be mad at you
These long nights got me feeling beat and battered too
Lack of sleep starts depleting in your attitude
Yet you can't help but still feel there's more you had to do
Trying to force a smile at the mall for the camera crew
When all you really wanna do is buy a pair of shoes
Can't complain there's a price for fame
I maintain thinking maybe they'll remember my name
So I'm stopping every chance I get to show respect
Cause without y'all to listen what we say ain't shit
& this is it. Stop and look and what we did
How far we gotta go and how hard it's been
Why pretend, we don't want that to end
So after all these long nights we go and do it again! [Come on]

[HOOK: Sto-ik The Poet] x 2

These nights are so damn long
Drinkin' liquor 'til I can't go on
In the booth 'til the break of dawn
Somebody send me a postcard I'm gone
