Thermic Two - Roots [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1 - MC Rimmer]
Every day is a growing age
Life is like a book, and each day is a page
Phases get deciphered
See young men turn into lifers
Living life is primal
Put poetry and art into vinyl
Trifle thru the days without thoughts
Coke, bitches and poverty is overwrought

[Verse 2 - IATG]
Keep seeing things in patterns like they polka dots
Seeing things going awry people die lives ending for naught
No help from the cops, I guess they must have forgot
I hate seeing my people get shot, but I guess it's just a soft spot
Life is short, you gotta live it to the fullest
See my friends taking bullets all over some bull shit
See opportunities you gotta take it
Ain't unity in my community I gotta make it

[Verse 3 - MC Rimmer]
They say stay gold
But I’ve been bronze since I was strolled
I see myself looking outside
Facing high tides, and trying to decide
I would I could take a break
But I can’t when time’s running short, and I got decisions to make
Life is like a game of crack
Sometimes you step back, or pack a mac
To stay strapped and worry less
But in truth, life never rushes stress
And I’m from the valley, best out in Cali
I like to dress, but not talking about Bally’s
Just sneaks, jeans and a tee
Yo G, I ain’t rocking that Louis V
And props to hip hop
Graffitti, MCing, DJing, breaking and beatbox

[Verse 4 - IATG]
You can attribute my skill to real deal rappers like Pete Rock
Rest in peace Ill Will reppin' each block
When I was 3 years old I knew this is what I wanted to be
13 years later and greater, I'm living the dream
Not making runs to the gun store
Planning ahead, making bread, so my son has more
Making fat stacks never paying flat tax
Other kids my age still playing jacks
But I'm a regular entrepreneur, can't spell it but I assure you
That I can sell it, I'm a mature dude, out making more loot
One day I'll be going on tour too
Read the brochure, my shit'll be in stores near you
Forget the woes, you gotta make more dough
Getting escrow until my neck glow, hitting listeners with the Czech flow
Full drive stick shift till I die, that's how I get by, I'm forever gold forever aglow
Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we get high, cause you never know when you're gonna go
