Adil Omar - Heart of Darkness [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]

I've been so fucked up and empty these past few months
I'm so angry and on edge, I'd smash you chumps for nothing
And I'm still a whore, a few bucks for me to say
Some ignorant shit, and make it too dumb for me to play
And I don't do drugs, so truth sucks and eats away
At my soul with too much of crazy shit for me to sway
On a peaceful day, I'm still thinking chaos
I'm made up of pain, guilt and sorrow in the deepest way
And I could see the day I'm lonely at the top
You want me to play? - Fuck that, I'm scoping for my shot
Approach you with a drop, yeah, it's dope, you know it's hot
But all your focus was the beat and how I flowed but you forgot
- how I wrote this, I put my heart and my soul in this
I'm humble as it gets, but still, a part of me knows I'm sick
Retarded? - you hoes will get departed and thrown in shit
"calm down, man, you're starting to go insane"


[Hook: samples including Slick Rick]

Children, children, why
Tell me why you're crying
Tell me why

Don't cry, dry your eyes


[Verse 2]

And lately, I've been dropping every lame to cross me
So frustrating to watch how they label and mock me
And they take me as cocky just to frame me and knock me
But they - failing to stop me and I'm reigning on top
I've had 20 years down the road, still I've been real
Seen tears drown me slow, in between fears
Screams blaring out my soul, I never seem scared
Cause even deep down, I know that the weak fail
I walk a tight rope, and it's sad to see
No pills, not a thing could put me back to sleep
Eyes bloodshot red; it's a tragedy
And I'm stuck with my father's personality
A heart of darkness; pumping black blood
I stand tall, tattooed and I act tough
Defense mechanisms, cause nobody bothers
To see beyond what they want, it's a fucking problem


[Hook: samples including Slick Rick]

Children, children, why
Tell me why you're crying
Tell me why

Don't cry, dry your eyes
