Atheist - Gotta Go [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Super Nintendo was our Genesis
Now it's XBox Live after my exodus
I...was the first to curse, just to make'em laugh
Never knew that that was the beginning of a better path
When we were growing up, we had our issues, damn
Man, the whole group was fat and we had fights with dads
We found revelations on backyard pads
The best times I ever had
Not everyone gets to be friends with the friends they had back in elementary
And this verse is to tell'em what they meant to me
Not everyone gets to be friends with the friends they had back in elementary
And this verse is to tell'em what they meant to me

[Chorus]
Yo, I'm sorry I'm gone but I swear I'll be back
When you gotta go, you gotta go. I had to go so I went
Yo, I'm sorry I'm gone but I swear I'll be back
When you gotta go, you gotta go. I had to go so I went

[Verse 2]
A little bit older now, moving to a bigger town
Most spent their college years getting high and getting down
But I was headed to class, already ready to pass
I planned a trip to Amoeba after every test
You know I had my partners-in-crime
You know we had a helluva time, cause I
Was getting into hip-hop, I got them into hip-hop
I won some new shoes after spitting off the top
And the food...dude. No matter what's the matter, it would change your mood
From creole to some eel on my sushi roll
Man, Indian, Italian, Louisiana Soul
How I miss those years in San Francisco
But I met the girl and I just had to go
Just know, man, I'll never forget the days
When we were sitting in the house in the heart of the Bay

[Chorus]
Yo, I'm sorry I'm gone but I swear I'll be back
When you gotta go, you gotta go. I had to go so I went
Yo, I'm sorry I'm gone but I swear I'll be back
When you gotta go, you gotta go. I had to go so I went

[Verse 3]
Goodbye, California. Don't know when I'll be back again
We made our home in the LDS Vatican
I'm so happy, married, no mini-van
No kids, one wife, and I'm finally not a Mormon man
I thought it would be boring with the Mormons
Depressed about the snow when it falls and it's storming
But then we had a party in the Avenues
What happened that night changed my attitude
What happened that night changed my altitude
And I could only express my gratitude
Cause you took me in like I'd always been
One of your closest friends from way back when
We got rap, poker, wrestling, and basketball
Brewvies for movies and you know that that ain't bad at all
And once again, man, I made a group of friends
And I'll love them even when I leave again

[Chorus x2]
Yo, I'm sorry I'm gone but I swear I'll be back
When you gotta go, you gotta go. I had to go so I went
Yo, I'm sorry I'm gone but I swear I'll be back
When you gotta go, you gotta go. I had to go so I went
