2Pac - How Long Will They Mourn Me (version 2) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: 2pac]
So many, buried peers
Throughout the years
While pouring out liquor and beers
For my homies that wasn't here
Can't help but shed tears at the cemetery
Makin' me wonder if this loaded pistols necessary
Even the preacher could see the pain in my mother's eyes
While walkin' by, can't help but sympathize when brothas die
Maybe the pain will make the situation change
No murder for murder, our homicide will never end, this crooked game
Bullet's blastin', time pass, brothas in masks
Retaliation is the aftermath
All that remains is a corpse rapped in plastic
Call the mother tell her her babies in a casket
No love for em
Just put his body in the grave
Even the pistols and all the prayers couldn't save em
Look how they played'em
They should have murdered me when I was born
Now I'm trapped in the violence of the storm
How long will they mourn me

[Verse 2: Syke]
How long will they mourn me
Every muthafuckin' day homie
You stayed down when tha other niggas didn't know me
From my heart to the trigga you my fuckin' nigga
And things won't be the same without ya nigga
I remember kickin' back, you wanted to lack
And goin' half on a muthafuckin' hundred sack
Smokin' blunt after blunt and steady drinkin'
Hung around so much, you knew what I was thinkin'
Tell me Lord, why you take big Kato ?
So confused not knowing which way to go
I'm goin crazy and runnin' out of fuckin' time
I can't take it, I'm losin' my fuckin' mind
So day after day
Ride after ride
We'll hook up on the other side
Watch over your family and your newborn
Till we meet again homie
How long will they mourn me ?

[Chorus]
I wish it would have been another
(Yo Kato)
How long will they mourn me
(It's still on nigga)
How long will they mourn my brother
How long will they mourn me
I wish it would have been another
(Yeah)
How long will they mourn me
How long will they mourn my brother

[Verse 3: Rated R]
Damn a nigga tired of feeling sad
I'm tired of putting in work
I'm tired of cryin while watching my homies leave the earth
I know soon one day I'll be in the dirt
And my peoples'll be mournin'
When they get a call from the coroner
All niggas can say is that's fucked up
And get tossed up
Reminiscing how we grew up (my nigga)
Rest and love to my nigga Kato
See you in the crossroads real soon
For now let me pour out some brew
I'll be always thinkin' of ya homie
Rest in peace
How long will they mourn me ?

[Verse 4: Macadoshis]
Ya know life's a fuckin' trip
And everybody gotta go
But why the fuck it have to be my nigga Kato
Another nigga fell victim to the chrome
It's enough to make you crazy
It's fuckin' with my dome
Ya only live once on this earth
A nigga had it bad, since the day of my mutahfuckin' birth
But niggas say they down and they always be my homie
But when a nigga gone
How long will ya mourn me ?

[Chorus]
