Timid - This Is The Way [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

[Verse 1: Edo G]
Edo's a rap activist, not a pacifist
Sick like a sadomasochist, y'all playing roles like actors and actresses
On my game, put in work at them practices
Putting rappers to sleep like numbers mattresses
A symbol like an asterisk, you have to dis?
Then I'mma smash your disk
Play centerfield like Coco Crisp
Better yet a hall of famer, behind the plate like Carlton Fisk
Big targets always seem to miss
Gangster rap is all fantasy, it bleeds to exist
A finger's never stronger than a fist
Took the other route, no longer on my list
We can't co-exist
My sho' flow knows the risk
Spit it in the air it comes back down as mist
I won't back down a twist
Steve Nash on the pass, here's the assist
I connect the arm and hammer just like a wrist

[Verse 2: Timid]
I invoke images of instances of greatness
Mixed with resemblances of figures of high placement
So fly I define the why of divine design
The reason behind it is because I'm assigned
To be, nothing less than Malcolm at the window
Stir it up and mix in Martin in front of kinfolk
The audacity of hope, the embodiment of dope
I could ask if you could cope but the answer would be nope
I know I have an ego, though, when this is how I work this
You rethink if you should follow me or your god to worship
I'm a squad of wordsmiths, jihad with the verbiage
Your façade's imperfect that's why I make you nervous
Swayed by what's portrayed but was really very worthless
Betrayed like Bush did men in military service
Is it all really worth it? Or do you even deserve it
Let me re-word this, all you sheep need to be herded

[Verse 3: Timid]
No time for methods mentioned in madness and mayhem
Inclined to lessen lessons of the savage and berate them
I'm one of the greats and won't stop if you say when
Rewind what I relate and intake all that I say then
Lines define the kind of mind from where they stem
I can apply to you what Geico said about cave men
Too easy, I'm a marathon of tantric pleasure
Too pleasing, you're two minutes of a failed endeavor
I should be hailed forever for the clever and the sexy
Even the good who claim, they're better still couldn't best me
Legacy to be determined but listened to like sermons
Sick of these rats like Indy Jones hates vermin
So it's kinda urgent that me and Edo surface
With a resurgence of something alluring with a purpose
Deter those who pervert this, touring with their circus
So don't be concerned with my spot because I earned it
