Chanda Mbao - Epic [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[INTRO: Chanda Mbao]
I come from a far away land called Zambia. I am here today to speak to you about my talent – a talent for using words to make people feel...a talent that is rare and not normally expressed in this manner in my part of the world. A talent that is...Epic

[Verse 1: Chanda Mbao]
Decades ago a legend was born
He was put on this earth to spread an art form
To perform, break norms and blow his own horn
It was written and all whack cats had been warned
More than a thorn in your side
I’m the lord of the rhymes
The Lord of all, gave me talent divine
I'm a born conqueror, noble warrior of rap
For my art, I should be Nobel laureate, in fact
I’m a chosen one, yes, it’s been said
For proof, check the flames coming from my head
I’m a hip hopper, not a Harry Potter
You don’t have to see saliva to know I spit proper
So listen, deeper than you did before
Don’t skim across the surface, touch the sea floor
Most rappers up and down, like a see-saw
But CCM will blow like C4

[Poem 1: Chanda Mbao]
Decades ago a legend began, destiny chose a legacy for an unborn man
The stars descended in a splash of light to mark his birth from a blessed woman
He was to bear an unmatched talent, he was to be the saviour of a legend called hip-hop
His name was: Chanda Mbao

[Verse 2: Chanda Mbao]
This is epic like Sparta versus the Persians
I’m epic, my flow is matched by no earthling
My wording is perfect, look beyond the surface
I always spit truth, so each verse is a sermon
They say, the pen is mightier than the sword
So, be afraid when you see what I’ve drawn
My metaphor: this is lyrical fencing
I jab at weak rappers, so they call me offensive
This is epic, like Homer’s odyssey, honestly
I should stop rapping cause it’s bad for the economy
There’s no competition cause I create a monopoly
And once I get going, nobody’s stopping me
CCM, I have a talent with a words
CCM, I craft magical verse
CCM, I have a talent with words
You say you have the same talent
I guess it is hasn’t emerged

[Poem 2: Chanda Mbao]
In one of the great mysteries of chance, this man was to cross paths with a court of knights
And on a starry night, magic would be made
Eventually, he would emerge as a brilliant change
His name was: Chanda Mbao

[Verse 3: Chanda Mbao]
This is epic, intrepid, rappers better respect it
If I said it, I meant it and there’s no way I’ll regret it
So if I say you can’t beat me, you just need to accept it
You just need to retire, start collecting your pension
Cause I’m legendary, in other words I'm chosen
Hip-hop chose me, like God chose Moses
I’m an epic man, pen in hand, I’m a beast
Spitting epigrams, yes I said it man, feel the heat
I’m blazing, you can’t match the degrees
Even if I stop rap, I’ll get a master’s degree
So that’s the definition of MC
One that reaches the top and maintains his prestige
So please, It's not my fault that I am a legacy
The universe did it, so you can blame destiny
Each verse constructed is a wonder like the pyramids
Pharaoh of rap so you will have to deal with it

[Poem 3: Chanda Mbao]
As a shining example to the colossal mass of dreamers
He proved that destiny was the ultimate force of the universe
He proved that he was golden, that he was chosen – he had a calling
His name was: Chanda Mbao
