Tumie - Before I Wake [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(INTRO)
No True Words Have Been Spoken...

(HOOK)
Before I wake
I pray to the Lord
My soul to take
My soul to take
All the consequences of the world
And I...

Tryna' know myself, figure out who am I
Tryna' learn what's wrong, and what's really right
That's what I've been doing all my life...

(VERSE 1)
Now a nigga is a man, uh
Hope that you understand, uh..

Two songs that I made
Told e'rryone how mom was played
How I dealt with the pain
How slowly it started to fade
With all the scars that remained
Had to fight 'em, that's the way...

Sad times, you think the whole world is against you
The sun never shines, if rain is what you've never been through...

Told me that he never meant to
Hurt a nigga and his mom
Told him "damn nigga I don't need you"
Me, myself and I I'm one...

And you know that
It's me who still take care
Of my family, make sure that they never live sad
Had to live with the fact that he opted for a brothel
Instead of my mom's, that's why I say damn...

Fvck him, fvck him, all I can say is fvck him
A nigga never cared through my upbring
When my mother had to fight struggle...

She only wanted to see me happy
Everything seems fine when you totally happy
And for that, I will always cherish
Her, for showing a good well-being...

(BRIDGE)
Ever felt like your world is crashing down
And there's nothing you can do about, it...

Been through some mountains and valleys...

Now that I truly know myself
Made peace with what I went through, age of twelve
Mama always told me, behave yourself
And never stop believing in yourself...

(HOOK)
