Ben Ridley - Kids In the Narm 2 [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

VERSE 1:

Where I come from everybody's done a bank scam, man we don't even call that a crime here
And if I see twenty road youts on pedal bikes I walk through em cos of pride here
Got rushed by 15 man for a 3210 when the iPhone first come out, held a beating but I held the phone tighter
Neighbours saw me getting fucked up didn't call Feds but it's all good cos I been a fighter
Kept the phone I was the opposite of light G
I remember never used to like lighties
Knew a yout honey trapped
For his air max track'
Even tho it was a fake he never got the suit back
Where we grew up we were held down
But I still wouldn't move town
Brudda what are you afraid of
My only phobias a day job
Endz gave me what I'm made of
Like fuck second place I came for it all cos you don't know where I came from
Came from, where they wanna stab you cos of where you came from
Like what you saying don
Don't run
Where the teachers say the youth won't make it
And the youts wrap youts cos their mums couldn't get em any birthday gifts
Road yout full of rage, cos it's outrageous


CHORUS:

Born on my knees, I said born on my knees
But I'm not complaining, still got to make it



VERSE 2:

Lost my innocence in the blocks
Lost my virginity in a block
Bussing nuts in the same place where my school mates link cats in the stairwells to buss shots
I never did sell lines, but all the cops
Look at me like that line was crossed
D boys kid napped on the regular boss
Youth tied up tryna get him a knot
Selling grass where there is no grass
Because the block so tall that you can't see past
Eyes meet through the tints of a d boy car
Feel a shiver In your spine cos your life was parred
All my niggas are militant
Cos it's harder when both parents are immigrants
They don't understand so they sent you school on the other side
Now you gotta make grade and survive
Wondering what's behind you like a pantomime
They might clock you even though you never had the time
With this type of stress on a young man mind
Your flopping maths but you think you might carry the nine
I used to wonder what is life bout
Hold that thought I gotta ride out
But I prayed to God, if it's not gonna change leme die now, cos I'm tired out

CHORUS:

Born on my knees, I said born on my knees
But I'm not complaining, still got to make it
