YU - If U Down [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
The rain is pouring, pain is going on in my life
That's why I write, same reason why drinkers go buy a pint
Dark clouds attack the light that is within me
Struggle is neverending, prayer is what some recommend me
I'm 5'9, but when I rhyme feel like I'm 10 feet tall
Laying the law through these bars, I put my life's call
Many be dumb downed clowns, see I don't like y'all
Hit them with the permanent pause, what do you fight for?
Your car, your chain, it's all the same
You call it game, boring my brain, them fraudulent ways
I can't feel what you're saying, cuz the balance is off
Faking like you don't have a heart wit all the violence you talk
It's like you can't crack a smile anymore, I guess its got to be war
24/7 weapons got to squeeze off, nigga nahh
That is a plan within a plan, my man
Destruction is in demand and Uncle Sam is a fan

[Hook]
Hearts frozen, why do we stay on that cold shit?
We used to be cultured, influenced by the vultures
They've been scoping, analyzing with a motive
It's like we've been tied up with an invisible rope and them
Jails open, they get paid when they put more inside
Kind of currupt, it's time for us to just expose them
It's wild, especially when your skintone's brown
But right now we about to turn it around
You with me? Hit me if you down

[Verse 2]
Of course I've walked with what my ancestors fought for
Heart full of passion, want more, start at ground floor
Still remain because of y'all we make it sound raw
I thank Allah, for me to try to paint a song
That is a cure till the pain is gone
Fruits of my labor may be ripe cuz I've been waiting for them
Seems like a lifelong task, walking on this path
Many be cheating, but my dad, he was a honest man
Plus about his cash, getting it because he worked hard
And to my moms, they call it labor, that was work y'all
Since birth searched the earth for what I'm worth. Money?
It's paperweight, cannot equate to what my life study
Has told me, go beyond all the stars up in the sky
The gift of rhymes, that is the place I chose to emphasize
Just a sign, maybe my light is not fading
I was born to shine greatly, on the rise trying to break free

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Hit me, if you're down and out, wild is not the route you need to be taking
Niggas be waiting to throw they hate in, frustration be incubating
Inside, times are tense so I write rhymes with sense
Why? Because there's not too many of y'all that's doing this
My influences came before they ruined this, foolishness
Ringtone, computer chip, champ, I'm not new to this
I prove what I say through the way that I relay
I don't break, standing time's test and making that progress
And I'm on my job, yes indeedy y'all greedy
While I got less, make it sound monstrous, break it down in portion
It all fit together, I remember my beginnings
While I'm winning, cuz forgetting brings the ending close
Folks forget, get on some brand new shit
The movements still in motion like Munch and Matthew and them
Ups? I've had a few of them, downs I've had too
But whenever I think of my mission I feel I have to ascend
Fin

[Hook]

[Refrain x4]
Uh uh, hit me if you down
Ooh ooh , I'll be around
Hey!
