ThisisDA - Elysium [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus]
You don’t know me, living my life
My life is all a dream
Riding in my boat I’m just tryna stay afloat ‘cos you know
It ain’t all it seems
There must be something else
Tryna find, tryna survive I ride as well
Can never hide
Feel inside that I found myself: the greatest wealth
Oh well, guess it doesn’t matter any way

[Verse]
Settle down, gather round
Let me tell a tall tale to the crowd, everybody up front best hear me now
From the city of, broken bottles and broken hopes
Our generation is faced with no control, how that go?
Where the kids roam, dolo
Play by their own rules
Got grown dudes roll through, next goal is alcohol
Settle down the pub neckin’ down a bottle of ‘bub
Hittin’ the club, getting rub from some new found love
ASBO’s are gone, don’t get it wrong; we stay troublesome
Running with the street thugs, we only got love for them
Never followed politics I figured it’s all a fix
Like, what the fucks the president caring ‘bout all of this?
I’m struggling; my mother’s sick; sis got two kids
Which I gotta babysit following this night shift
Feeling worthless; inert and more-or-less nervous
Nothing’s perfect but gotta work with it, and shit
Lottery’s a mockery knowing I deserve it
But these ticks ain’t bringing me nothing when scratching it
Figured if I let go I’ll feel like I’m in control
‘cos I know that my soul don’t belong to me no ’mo, so
Before you judging making me feel ugly
I hope you see life never really been easy on me
Playing fields ain’t levelled evenly
Evil is decency
So I gotta let’em know ‘fo I’m six-feet, deep

[Chorus]
You don’t know me, living my life
My life is all a dream
Riding in my boat I’m just tryna stay afloat ‘cos you know
It ain’t all it seems
There must be something else
Tryna find, tryna survive I ride as well
Can never hide
Feel inside that I found myself: the greatest wealth
Oh well, guess it doesn’t matter any way
