T-Truth - Identity [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Tobi]
T-Truth! Drop the beat!

[Verse 1: T-Truth]

Identity crisis, we stop learning bout ourselves
The words they say are so much, they stack it up in shelves
And so what makes us is defined by, media
Sadly, but not true, what have they been feeding ya?
No sorrow, no grief, hold onto your belief
It's not about material, it's what is underneath
But with the condition that we see on the street
The only thing people are doing is just taking the heat
But I'm stomping my feet, to the kick of the beat
Cos, this is who I am, you ain't taking my seat
It's time we realized, we were all hypnotized
Definition, conditioned to be submitting lies
Remember who we were, and what we were made of
We're the lucky ones, going school, getting paid off
Not about creps or rep, stick to formality
It's about your and your crew, personality!

[Hook: Beth Worth x2]

Don't know what you mean to me
We are one, we're in unity
How it is, how it's meant to be
Different but the same, identity

[Verse 2]

The fact that I spit bars, that's who I am
Never slack, work hard, that's who I am
Started at age 9, that's who I am
Rhyme words in any line, that's who I am
Quit dissing and listen to the spitting of mine
I don't care about chicks, what I'm hitting is fine
T-Truth in the booth, writing songs for the youth
Cos we believe in aiming higher than the sky or the roof
What we do is what will make you, they will never take you
Do what you do best, stay real, don't fake you
Cos when people act like something that is not themself
They end up trapped and down a spiral over love of wealth
You can call me a chink, somebody that can't blink
But you're the sailor, I'm the captain, I make your ship sink
People tell me I'm on the brink, I don't care what haters think
Some are known for rep but they're, the weak link!

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

The entity I'm meant to be is mentally attentively
Eventually I'll let you see what I can be to enter me
Talented, unique, flows smooth and sleek
That don't really matter at the end of the week
Footprints leave a trace whatever gender or race
We all have intelligence, not just a pretty face
Case closed, potential's something everyone knows
We don't want others to know it and I guess that shows
The song I sing for any colour of skin
Don't matter what it is, it's about what within
Hard like a Crunchie, proud of my country
Still British no matter how many of you hunt me
Identity is you, the things that you do
Some say it's what you look like, and that's true but
Me and my crew, we do this for a living
Take nothing from it and it's 100% giving!

[Hook x2]

[Outro: Tobi]

Identity!
