Tumie - Keep Walking [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

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

(HOOK)
Government is tryna' take from us
We gotta work together as a society
First label all the wrongs and rights
And stop blaming all the minorities...

Poor brothers, you are part of me
Poor sisters, you are part of me...

One day, a sun is gonna shine on us
For now, we gotta keep walking...

(VERSE 1)
Back then when I was only thirteen
I saw awful sh*t happenin' on TV
Mama always said: "appreciate what you got"
Put your heart and soul, share the tears in your eyes...

I wrote my first song
Emotional one
A message I can feed
All my people
To become one
And work as a team...

Cause government is fvcked up with broken promises
Feeding us with lies, taking over like apocalypse...

But here is somethin', that you need to know
When poverty strikes, we take it very personal
Sisters sell their bodies, tryna' feed their own homes
Brothers bust into crime, to avoid sleeping with a roach...

(HOOK)

(VERSE 2)
Moving on
Dropped a couple of songs
Still touching the issue of the states tryna' prove 'em wrong
Cause last week, I saw a kid in the streets of Hillbrow
Without a home
And the clothes...

I tried to feed him, knowledge
Only to find out, he a poet
His inspiration is his mother's coffin filled
With roses...

I cried, when he told me his story
Cause it made me realize he's lost with no courage...

With no parents
He had to find a way to make, a better living
Never spoken to his maker, only demons
At night I used to pray, may God have mercy for this soulless human...

(HOOK)
