Tav Gang - Wake Up [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Emergancy:

Product of the projects, related to the struggle
Either you a survivor, or you a weakling in the jungle
Somethin' gotta give. Sippin' Bud Ice to stay humble
Stay loyal cause that's your ass when the cake crumbles
Tryna stay faithful, keep my pride and escape trouble
Watch out for them snakes, they say they do but they fake love you
Try to hold you down, try to put them brakes on you
Feel like the devil hunting my soul but God directed me to this pen and pad
What I fell on? Nothing but gold. But now a days I feel lonely and need something to hold
When you strugglin', yeah it's tough on that road
Nobody to talk to, that's why I'm speaking to my mic
This is Gods gift to me. That's why I dream it everynight
And it help me release some of the demons in my life

Hook:

Live life free if you ain't free you ain't livin' it right
Stumbled on this pen and pad, what's considered the mic
But I see now. My vision is bright, I'm Gods angel. I was meant to enlight

Live life free if you ain't free you ain't livin' it right
Stumbled on this pen and pad, what's considered the mic
But I see now my vision is bright, I'm Gods angel. I was meant to enlight

Perfectionist:

Perfectionist...
I cut my homies off. All they did was hate me. They basic, only thing I'm pursuing is greatness
They tryna die in the hood. I'm tryna go escape it. I'll make. Daddy told me all I need is patience
Just turn you dreams into reality. Work hard, no sleep. Thank God, mostly. Then go and thank your mama
Get her out the hood. Relieve her from the stress and drama. Success, you gotta strive for it
If you believe in it then you'll die for it. Put your family first, money after that
But friends will put you in the dirt and that's a fact. What's life, what is it worth. Look to the sky, ask God how does it work
As the cloud move and glisten. That's your grandma smiling as she listens. Just use your mind, listen to your heart
Never sell out. That's how the fakeness starts. I said "Thanks dad, cause you the man I'm trying for. He said "No, your whole family you grind for."
