Tumie - Youth Affair [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

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

(VERSE 1)
As I look upon my youth
My heart becomes scarred
They never focus on their books
All they do is drugs...

Gettin' lifted, soul searchin' who they really are
And I take all the issues, say 'em loud in my art...

Cause last time I met some chick
She was pregnant
Baby Daddy was so weak
And he was stranded...

He kept on askin' himself "what's the next plan?"
Run from the same hood that taught him how to be a man...

But fvck that, nigga you should be the one who inspires
Upcoming generation, stop being a coward
None of this would have happened, if you used a condom
Pardon me, I'm just being honest...

Took a close look to his family
Turns out he the head of family
Started ta take life seriously
And took care of 'em carefully...

And he keeps on praying for the best
At times it gives him stress
So he brings out the worst(worst)...

(HOOK)
You can have all my shine(all my shine)
I'll give you the light(I'll give you the light)
Take whatever's on your mind(on your mind)
Fight it till it gets right(it gets right)...

Youth Affair is now my tune(is my tune)
Young niggas ending up on tombs(on tombs)
Young girls keep on skipping school
Sellin' their bodies in exchange for food...

(VERSE 2)
Chapter two
His girlfriend finally gave birth, things were cool
And right now he seemed to give a care, never was rude
Cause all he wanted was to raise his son in a room
In which he'd call home, provide him with some food...

6 years went by, it was time to go to school
He was on some Jeezy sh*t, nigga still hood
No job, nothin', his dream was to be in a booth
Spit his emotions, his life, a naked truth...

And he did all that
Dropped emotional tracks
Submitted his tape to a fewer of his friends
And guess what? They stole all that
Cause they figured out that he was about to make cash
That's his teen years...

Know If you make it to your twenty's without a kid
Nigga, you should be proud of that
Cause I know, how it hurts, to grow without a dad...

(HOOK)

(OUTRO)
All my shine
I'll give you the light
On your mind
It gets right
Is my tune
On tombs
In exchange for food...
