Trayvon Alexander - The Perspective [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Yo, nowadays, we too quick to judge somebody, without putting ourselves in they shoes. So therefore, we can never truly understand what they're going through. So who are we to judge? Just take me for example ...

[Verse 1]
Just imagine, if you was rapping, and you had this:
Mastermind, with a cold flow, and a bad chick
Passionate with lyrics, with words you doing magic
Tryna get everything, because you never had shit
Other niggas claiming they rapping, but they acting
They say that talk is cheap so you're showing it with your actions
Look, and they say if you want it, then no relaxin'
And so you work hard, and now you making it happen!
Tell me, are you wrong for that?
You can't tell me that this nigga don't belong in rap
To live through a situation, make a song for that
Ya city hating but you steady putting on for that
Nigga this ain't a hobby, nigga this called fate
The shit that you niggas doing, nigga that's called hate
They shit that I'ma become, nigga that's called great
Labels call in the morning and women, they call late
Hey

[Hook]
But you don't my struggle right?
Workin' hard everyday when I be up at night
Made mistakes, I could've lost my fuckin' life
To be the boss, man you gotta pay the fuckin' price
But you don't my struggle right?
Workin' hard everyday when I be up at night
Made mistakes, I could've lost my fuckin' life
To be the boss, man you gotta pay the fuckin' price
You gotta pay the fuckin' price (x4)

(Yea yea yea. I just need to talk to some real people for a minute. If I could do that..)

[Verse 2]
When life gives you shit, you gotta take it and pray
I turned my shit into these stories, now I'm makin' a way
All I did was show love but still a hater gone hate
So I just pray for tomorrow but still give thanks for today
Cause I'm still breathin' and living, so much just need to be done
And every lesson that I learned, I gotta teach to my son
Show it's more power in these words than there could be in a gun
And stay close to angels cause one day, the demons'll come
That's my world, that's the air that I breathe in my lungs
So I'ma help my Prince become the King he needs to become
I pray you listenin' close, I ain't just speakin' for fun
I'm droppin' knowledge like the teachers, preachers, deacons, and nuns
You wouldn't understand really 'til you stepped in my shoes
I was put in situations that I never did choose
I'm on God's time, without a second to lose
Just gettin' all of this advice that I never did use
Cause y'all don't really know what's best for me, visions that you never see
My destiny, seems to be the reason I'm protected see
All these people in my ear, just let me be
Steady givin' opinions but ain't nobody let him speak!
And that's real

[Hook]
