Abstract Rude - The Solution [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Samples]
If you ain't got heart to play then stay off the course
Rappers disintegrate
I'mma'na recommend this

[Verse 1: Abstract Rude]
I've been a problem, now I'm part of the solution
My own personal retribution, the new me is new 'round here
I've got new-found vision, moved so fast you missed it
I might just disap-, made it feel like I skipped it
I ain't got shit to fear, I could rest losing for all the benefits
Or should I hold it tight, turn all my clutches instead of just letting it go
I done been wrong befo', in fact it was not long ago
I even hit the bottom low but that was just part of my growth
My heart's always broken, I can't stop starting over
And now my bad it's all going back through the motion
Of this half of the hole, was that no control
I was breaking my oath, it was happening over and over again
And that wasn't gold, so I had to take hold
It's sad how it goes when you don't even know the begin

[Chorus: Abstract Rude]
It starts with me, I must admit
(I've been a problem) but still I can't quit
I spent my time complaining to no benefit but now
I'm making contribution so that makes me the solution
It starts with me, I must admit
(I've been a problem) but still I can't quit
I spent my time complaining to no benefit but now
I'm making contribution so that makes me the solution
Follow me now if you're ready to do more than just talk, walk with me, be the solution
Offer critical thought for the youth, be the solution
Everyone is at fault, after all we're only human
I've been the problem, you've been the problem but now we're the solution

[Verse 2: Slug]
I spread my arms like frosting, like a phoenix wing around his offspring
So the pop sing songs of optimism, 1972, caught the rhythm
Of a heartbeat, lost the change in a car seat
Aiming at the mirror but still blames the party
As if everybody's listening wrong, it's the vision I've drawn
Of this impossible mission I'm on
I ain't like the rest of the scene
I'm not swimming in a stream of synthetic wet dreams
No, I work hard, keep everything clean
Cause the needle still stings when pendulum swings
Yes, I'm tryna do my best
I'm not the best though, I do it to my death
I'll never let go, a student of the revolution
We put the salute in the solution

[Chorus: Abstract Rude]
It starts with me, I must admit
(I've been a problem) but still I can't quit
I spent my time complaining to no benefit but now
I'm making contribution so that makes me the solution
It starts with me, I must admit
(I've been a problem) but still I can't quit
I spent my time complaining to no benefit but now
I'm making contribution so that makes me the solution

[Verse 3: Brother Ali]
I was raised on the doctrine of the honorable
Elijah Muhammad, do what you gotta do to be profitable
Ain't nobody stopping you
But ain't nobody tryna plant your seeds and water too
It's the coup starving, who gotta harvest the god in you
Mini-me, it became easy to see
I'm the one gotta put my life the way it s'posed to be
And it might seem kinda cliché, but hey truth be that way
Those that don't know need to hear, so those that do not need to say
You can quote them slogans over and over 'till you overdosed And coasting in life until you slam into that wall, then bam
Then it clear, got truth as an upper lip
Chilling right there under nose until one day you come in grips
As long as the world been revolving and I'm still traveling
And the same problem wherever I'm walking
Is probably not one of y'all but there's obviously some flaw
That I ignored but got to see, who got solve it? Me
Run around me

[Chorus: Abstract Rude]
It starts with me, I must admit
(I've been a problem) but still I can't quit
I spent my time complaining to no benefit but now
I'm making contribution so that makes me the solution
It starts with me, I must admit
(I've been a problem) but still I can't quit
I spent my time complaining to no benefit but now
I'm making contribution so that makes me the solution
Follow me now if you're ready to do more than just talk, walk with me, be the solution
Offer critical thought for the youth, be the solution
Everyone is at fault, after all we're only human
I've been the problem, you've been the problem but now we're the solution
