Captain - Speak Up [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Intro (Afronaut):

Yo
You ever felt like, there's pressure in your gut?
Like something's happened to you
And you can't tell anyone what's happened?
Well we're gonna help you speak up for yourself
Right now


Verse 1 (Afronaut):

Here's a little story about a reject named Jimmy
Jimmy had a mom and dad, and a cute kitty
He was never really liked by children in his school
Because he was 213 pounds and 5'2"
6th grade isn't the best transition for a child
Especially when you grew up in a neighborhood like Ivywild
Rape, murder, deals and sex, his whole hood was piled
But on one rainy night, his mom's mood was very wild
Jimmy's mother had found out that her sister had died
Jimmy told his friends and they promised not to spread it
But as normal kids would, they indeed lied
Tellin' the whole school, through social media, like Reddit
People started making fun of Jimmy even more
Telling him he's a "fatty" and "just a stupid boar"
He couldn't take it anymore, so on one lonely night
He got a rope from his dad and hung himself! (Bye-Bye!)


Hook (Afronaut):

It is time to make a change in our society
Help the ones who need it with their social anxiety
Even though there are the few that help others
We still need to be speaking up for one another [x2]


Verse 2 (Captain):

You speak up for me, and I'll speak up for you
Man, I can't believe that this crap is true
Jimmy dead found a rope around his head
Wishin' that his milli would be frickin' dead
And the people that watched him get mentally abused
And refused to step up, for another homie
Y'all talk big but you a little phony
Can't think you would just sit there, watch him die inside
Sittin' alone, watching him cry, it just took 1 person to ask why
To shoot him back up, startin' to fly in the sky
Seen the light like a kite, but it didn't happen
Now you have to plan for another human passin'
Just so sad it took this to happen, to get people in it
Who couldn't take one minute to make someone better?
But now he fought away, and can't correct the mistake that he made
Best believe the same fate


Hook (Afronaut):

It is time to make a change in our society
Help the ones who need it with their social anxiety
Even though there are the few that help others
We still need to be speaking up for one another [x6]


Outro (Captain):

Yo
Make sure if you see anybody
Ever getting bullied, or hurt, or anything
You step up for them
It could be YOU that changes our whole world
Or it could be the person that... goes home, depressed everyday
That could change the world or change the lives of many
All because, 1 person, has that fair
Maybe that one person don't deserve anything
Or, maybe that 1 person is having a hard time at home
That's not your place to judge! So don't!
So if you ever see anything, just speak up
Captain closin' out
Thanks Afro
Peace!
