Versatyl & Pilgrim - V.O.A [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Yo my people been oppressed and nobody cares less
Their leaders all corrupt so the land still a mess
Everyday new stress, see the kids clue less
Schools just be a jest, hospitals bring death
Politicians got money to spray up in the party
And no it's not funny cos I see the people hungry
Every day on the streets, I see them browbeat
The people they were meant to lead and uplift
Motherland be adrift, so it's time to rethink
See the people need to know and to take control
Wisdom is the key, hate has got to go
Ignorance and greed, can only mislead
There's no need to fight, cause we all need peace
War's grief for we peeps, can you fight like Bruce Lee?
Born in a city now going up in flames
God we need a change, why do lames run the game?

[Hook]
There's a smile on my face but it's really no joke
They all talk fast but they all think slow
They act like they do but they really don't know
We try to save souls but they say no go
Yeah there's a smile on my face but it's really no joke
They all talk fast but they all think slow
They act like they do but they really don't know
We try to save souls but they say no go

[Verse 2]
Aiyyo, running through the jungle of this thing called life
Praying, hoping for the best but I see it in their eyes
They wonder what I'm doing when I'm trying to climb
Keep my head above the water like a cat with nine lives
Me, I wonder what would happen if they walked in our shoes
But that being said, you can only be you
Taking it back to the blues and the good old school
One day you're smiling, you're a baby, next you got no tooth
Age old trees have roots and they've got they use
But then human beings choose to take the fruit
It was forbidden like the ooze and you think it's cool
To sit, watch while it drops like an apple from the tree
Keep running your mouth on things that shouldn't be
You keep running your mouth on things that shouldn't be

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Now, you gotta think first before you open your mouth
Every word's got a price and you know that's right
And the love of the jewels over love of the books
Is bound to turn us all to a society of fools
For a fact God is, but you say old school
I'm trying to spread the truth, not pretend to be cool
So I'm looking through my rear view
M.J's really gone too, did what he was born to
And me I'm trying to rock too
Brothers what the deal, the minds still the key?
I wish I had the fee, we could all be free
But the battle line's drawn, you gotta pick a side
Killer bees on the swarm, are you down for ride?
From the very first time, that the eyes saw the light
It could not be shut, like a heavenly prize
So one time for the mind, and two for the cash
The loves still above, so it's time for the dash

[Hook]

[Outro]
