Us3 - Nowadays [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Can't comprehend, dividends end friendships
Infinite kinships, dismissed amidst dead presidents exist
Poor peeps is pissed, the rich benefit taxes
Passes all access lavish, extracting cabbage from famished rabbits

Crime runnin' rampant attracting active young minds
Habit cash a magnet, magnetizing addicts havin'
And who haven't ends, back-stabbing friends
Women jockin' who got it, no Benz, no yacht kid

Nah, kid pockets get clocked, kid, before ya knock it, uh
Nowadays we're raised to praise it, save it if phrase fits
Unappraised gaze enslaved by crave depraving shit
And yet we livin', sittin' within a world where greed has proceeded
The act of givin' and it's a given

Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, maybe it's me
Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, could it be?

Yeah, sisters and brothers, where's the love of one another?
Discovering others of us dumber prejudice
To color, creed and religion
Driven hate within innocent children

Stop the killin', instill goodwill, we all be chillin'
Building, then seal it, surrealist revealing
Since the wheel hit, hearts conceal it
When death hits other men, how many feel it?

Envy alive and rising, hatred has mankind declining
Keep in mind when time ends, if orange as fossil findings
Why then unkind when combined?
Vibin' peacefully is needful, regal or not, people created
Equal ain't no sequel, believe to exist the positive needed
As evil retrieves negative energy and feeds it baby peep it

Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, maybe it's me
Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, could it be?

Life ain't twice a lifetime, dice rollin', survivin'
Confined in gunfire, crime thrivin', and babies whining
Narcotics, sirens, entwined aids-related death findings
Eying lab mice with virus, mesmerizing minds of science

Blood pressure rising, unwinding
While sippin' what could be blinding
Genocide's in cog in spots we unlikely to find in
Combined with stress, sublime bottom line forming a hybrid

It's like, kid, you gotta fight it son
Weak lose and strong survive it
As pushers lure without a pause, what you diggin'
Digs in it's claws

Dimes on corners offer draws, the score's uneven
Leavin' me feelin' someone's cheatin'
What we teachin' in schools been used for the wrong reasons
Defeating the purpose

Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, maybe it's me
Nowadays it seems like we in the last phase, could it be?
