Swollen Members - Act On It [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Prevail]
Before I fade to black in the shaded shack
In a box with handles and my family in back
I will have achieved my life in leaves, of paper, that kept me safer than hangin with theives
I've been in the big house, but not for long
But long enough to know it's hard to make songs
I played my cards and kept movin along
Hooked up with Madchild and righted my wrongs
You don't continue with circles, we generate light
So three hundred and sixty five days I study and write
I bloody the mic and will continue to learn
From the best in the world until the night I burn
I fought for my turn, you can check my gloves
We both have inkpads covered with blood and scabs
I love what I have but I will progress
And I do every day when I take my first step
It's all about Breath, when it's done I'm gone
And death is a pawn in a game on a board of which I'm on
I've had a sword in my palm from the very first tracks
That were cut, mastered, and released under battleaxe
It's nice to know that I've been a part of something reversal
Camouflage to Consumption

[Hook:]
Yo it's funny how time flies
Life has lows and highs
And that's no surprise
Come along for the ride
Can you handle the drive?
Act on it, cause life can flash before your eyes
Time flies, lows and highs, and that's no surprise
Come along for the ride, can you handle the drive?
Act on it, cause life can flash before your eyes

[Madchild:]
Before I'm laid to rest, I'mma do my best
Cause the biggest death threat is too many regrets
And I ain't goin out like I wonder what woulda happened
If I'd never given up
Kept on rappin
Been so many years of blood, sweat and tears
Fears to overcome, so I'mma give it my all
And when it's last call
At least there'll be no questioning
If I fall, I'll know it just wasn't my destiny
Maybe it's not meant to be, but eventually
I gaurantee I'll satisfy myself mentally
I'm sick and tired of the position acquired
I appreciate it, but I've seen visions in fire
A premonition, spiritually awaken
With doses and moments of magic to take in
We'll keep it movin' and go at it whole-hearted
Madchild works the hardest to finish what he started

[Hook:]

[(Madchild) Prevail:]
(There's no time to waste)
We move with grace
(One life to embrace)
Though it feels like a race
([Both:] Nameless faces in a dangerous place)
The strange and great
(Rearrange your taste)
([Both:] From almost nothing
To almost something)
From noone listening
(To everybody jumpin)
([Both:] Kings on the mic, we got kings on production, fuck fallin off, this is just and introduction)

[Hook:]
