Chris Black - Stars [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
I pray these words will reach you where you are, oh
From somewhere in the stars
I'm out there with the stars
Yeah I know
How life can get you down
I've been low
With nowhere to be found

[Verse 1]
He sits back with a pen, strapped with his own innovation
Puts the needle on the track and his soul in the paper
His work's solely from greatness, nothing short of amazing
Then he thinks of his brothers - how he told 'em he'd make it
Passed out in a poem, he won't wake up. Blasts off when they told him he wouldn't take off
That's something to rap 'bout; now the cats out. But everyone around him feels like 'why do they hate us?'
So this is all he knows, what a journey it's been
So much further to go, let the journey begin
If determined to win, they'll tell you "well surely you'll win."
But he knows deep down inside him he ain't perfect a bit
Feels like you're trying to find your rock and then it turns to brick
But it don't happen like that so we gotta earn that shit
His words could give a blind person vision
And tries to say the words inside him 'fore he's murdered for livin'
It's just the game plan of a player
Just goin' through the motions 'til it turned to something major

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Look through the eyes of a soldier. Tell me how he was feeling
When all odds are against you how could you not wanna flip it?
Knowing cops are gon' get you the next shot that they're given
Unaccepted lifestyle but no one gon' stop you from living
Guess I'll learn when I'm older. Guess I'll shop when I'm richer
Man how could you settle for less, knowing they will not forget you
When you had nothing but spirit - had big plans for your future
You shrink yourself from the spotlight now you stand where they shoot you
You see, my whole life I was told that I was too young
While I observed the world and told myself what to do, son
Always performing before a group of my elders
Now it's f**k it, I'll do it myself; I disappeared and grew up
And still growing, still going where ever the wind blows me
Still let my words introduce me to those who didn't know me
And although now more than ever, I'm still lonely
Peace with the people slowing - I'm still going. Gone

[Hook]
