The Manhattanites - Which Way [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Mez)
I take a breath and pray for Satan's hate cause if he take my flesh
I'm a take his demon legions make them say that they against
Hating death and got to make a mends erasing sins
And want to change the state of craziness he place them in
This is Mez listen in glistening with the best
Wishing on a wishing well for the gift of living swell
I flick a quarter in the mist until it hit the water
But I'm spitting cause I know no superstition's gon' give me wealth
Combing on this road to riches (?) bank rolls and digits
It's not important what you get but how you did it and what you did with it
Who you stepped on and left gone to get it
And if your happiness is still in tact enjoying how you live it
It's your life and your choice how to live it
It's my right to voice my opinion
Used to hit the joint now I spit a joint just to get my point across
To all the kids that's in the joint and lost in prison

Hook
No place to go no place to call home
Don't waste your time in life you grow old
Which way will you go at the fork in the road
The unfortunate goal of your soul (x2)

(Self-Suffice)
Remember when Self-Sufficient didn't know he was the sole
Individual that was in control how the rhythm I was living would go
Beans butter applesauce, cheese from the government yo
My grandmother sending discount clothes
She on a mission fo' sho', purchasing wears for the school year
Prepared from the nicest materials at the wholesale prices
But kids were dissing it though, granny wasn't checking for no
Loose fitting clothes and Tims and lo
So I was feeling pitiful on the block, missing those
Getting no props for what I rocked just for what I know
Reminiscing now, it's possible that triggered my intellect growth
Same kids that was into clothes saying they wished they would've focused
Instead of picking on kids with different clothes
How I got the fly gear now, and even design what I wear
The phrase my gear isn't' a joke, it's deep
She was teaching me something I didn't peep
Don't follow the popular trend, use your mind and freak
Your own style yo, now I even get it more cheap
Got them fiending to see the sneakers I rock, every week
Same with the rhyme flow style kind of unique
Lifetime treasuries we dropping on every beat
While you cop a watch that go out of style every week
While these rappers want to be your average cracks in the street
Leave a mark like graffiti in the wet concrete

Hook
No place to go no place to call home
Don't waste your time in life you grow old
Which way will you go at the fork in the road
The unfortunate goal of your soul (x2)

(Mez)
On the path that I've passed in this life looking back wasn't right
And the past wasn't nice but I'm pass all the fights and the clashes with knifes
And the bats and the gats this is pass what I write this is life
(Self-Suffice)
And pass me the mic, with a hundred times my salary
You felt classy when you last beat your wife?
Had my lady happy as a queen when we only had beans and rice
Cash nice, but she'd rather have a man treat her right
Car crib flashy clothes eating fancy tonight
Feel empty if I can't speak to family
(Mez)
Damn right, got friends cross the planet
You asking about Mez they say that's fam for life
That's why we tight no matter the time space or mad it ain't right
They on my page same page as I
(Self-Suffice)
Might've even had a fat piece of ice
But I'm reaching for that mind bling that'll last me for life

Hook
No place to go no place to call home
Don't waste your time in life you grow old
Which way will you go at the fork in the road
The unfortunate goal of your soul (x2)
