Common - JImi Was a Rock Star [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Erykah Badu + Common]
Everyone hides their faces
Behind a mask they wear
Jimi was a rock star
Searching for that magic place
That he could touch in the sky
Just to get his people high
Oooooooooh (jack!)
Oooh oh ohhhhhh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oooooooooh (jack!)
[Repeat]
[Verse 2: Erykah Badu + Common]
Life is so colorful
Reds, blues and dreams
Jimi lives in a purple haze
In a psychedelic maze
Playing the streets like an instrument
Pulling strings wherever he went
Angel sent from the sky
Just to get his people high
Ohhhhhhhhhh (jack!)
Ohhhhhhh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Ohhhhhhhh (jack!)
[Repeat]
Women all around (ehh da da daaa da)
Fast cars and sound (ehh da da daaa da)
And freedom he was bound (ehh da da daaa da)
Couldn't see the ground (ehh da da daaa da)
Jimi, come out why don't you set me free?
(set me free)
So high born to fly
Getting high off his own supply
?
Everybody follows the same lord
Choosing his light to guide the way
You do, but who do you choose?
Some try things but few die so young
Something among Jimi was stung
Everyone hides their faces
Behind a mask they wear
(Jimi, come out why don't you set me free?)
[Repeat until fade out]
