T-Truth - Be Strong [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: T-Truth]
Once upon a time, everybody hated me
How can I forget the things they would say to me
I've had to face strife, all through my life
But this is a place where negativity is right
I think a person can live too long
We're all weak, but you can never be too strong
It's hard tryna get my voice heard
Especially when any enemy don't wanna listen to my words
I don't do this to get flash cars
I don't do this to write trash bars
I do this from the bottom of my heart
To face up to fears and to play my part
And I'm, not here to be part of the scenery
I'm not just gonna give up so easily
Even when everything's against my will
I'll still go cos that's just what it means to me

[Hook]
*You gotta be strong
You gotta be strong
You gotta be strong
Y-Y-Y-You gotta be strong*

[Verse 2]
And let the beat drop, yes
I won't rest till this test's passed and it's all bless
Yes, I go to grammar school, no, I'm not a rich kid
I don't st-st-stammer fool, this isn't a hitch, kid
So which kid's gonna give me the picture
The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer
If money talks it ought to shut the hell up
Cos this problem's getting bigger and it's gonna swell up
Capitalism causes this gulf to expand, it's the
Grand scheme of things, we used to be living it up
Nothing comes free so now we're giving it up
Work cos no-one can help when you extend your hand
But currency's not a problem for me
As long as I can be the best that I can be
Taking the lead, is succeeding wrong? (No!)
I believe you need to be strong

[Hook]
