Dag Savage - Soul Purpose [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Johaz]

It’s hard to smile when your soul’s hurtin’ - but I try
Looking at life through a closed curtain - we survive
Trying to figure out my soul purpose
Did a lotta thinkin’, did a lot of soul searchin’ - nothing for certain
My brother Ex just lost his moms
Had him feelin' like a pitcher who just lost his arms
Sometimes you wanna lose control, but we keep it calm
Extend your hands to the Lord, until you reach his palms
Word is bond, but a nigga still did his dirt
Caused a lot of drama, nigga brought a lot of hurt
And in relationships a nigga feel like he cursed
They won’t forgive you ‘til your ass is layin’ in a hearse
And what’s worse - the only woman that love me was my mother
Ex-chicks left me, now they fuckin’ other brothers
Cocksucker, motherfuckers never feel your pain
Until they open up your heart and they see the strain
I try to change, but nobody wanna fuckin’ feel ya
Obama found Osama, but still he just another nigga
Now whose the killer - the young boys out here sellin’ crack
Or the one that got thise soldiers dying in Iraq?
(But in fact..)

[Verse 2 - Aloe Blacc]

Life can be a pretty little picture of perfection
If the frame wasn’t broken and bent up in all directions
And the glass wasn’t smudged up with everybody fingerprints
Came through and messed with you and ain’t been back for dinner, since
Once a prince now a penniless pauper
In a peculiar predicament, much less than proper
Never kick it with suckers if they can’t roll with the punches
Or take blind dates to work functions
Some simple rules to live by - a code of conduct to offer guidance
Before they misunderstand and turn to random violence
Dancing with the wolves, looking for lambs to silence
Slaughter the least able, the weak and unstable
The meek shall not speak - keep away from the table
Where I break bread with made men and break heads for taking too much
Out of they cut, when they supposed to kick up
I'm in it for the glory, honor the dons before me
If I perform poorly, edit that part of the story
Stay, by my side like my road dog a ride or die broad
Who don't be talkin' bout everything that she saw
She shut her face up, so nobody don't (fuck) the place up
Give the feds solid lead to chase her, have the DA open a case up
Always gotta lock and lace up the loose ends between loose friends
That's how you might lose friends
(Come on...)

[Verse 3 - ADAD]

Yes
I thank the heavens for the energy
To observe the downfall and embrace my enemies
I'm glad that I found y'all, lurkin' in the embassy
Quiet with the lights off, bad a Black Kennedy
And I've been sleepin' super good, slumberin' a symphony
The mental is a fertile gust, rustling the evergreens
And now I finally realize, rise and shine
Everybody has a little Dirty Science in their chemistry
Your girlfriends lying, your best friend's bitten
Somebody's gettin' murdered but the killer's still livin'
You're mad 'cuz your fuckin' these nothing-ass women
To the ringtone sing and you're running out to get it
And I can talk about it 'cuz I spit it how I live it
There's a pretty ugly struggle when you're sitting at the limit
Of your mind and your money with a splinter in your spirit
You're screaming like the girl who never said that he could get it
But he took her, he did it, they caught him and he bid it
And it fitted when they found her with a second smile slitted
And even though I never want 'em humble and committed
They don't have to give it to me brother I'mma come and get it
Manned up, hands up ready for the scrimmage
And the fakes and the snakes and the lies and bullshit
'Cuz you don't really wanna bull, shit
'Cuz I'mma bull on a full brick
And it been too long, I finally got a good song
To show you motherfuckers that I'm splendid with a written
And I can paint a picture 'til the visual is vivid
And the truth is in my testament and you can come and get it
And it's over, 'cuz I did it
And I'm here now, at the finish
