DMX - Let Me Fly [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
If you love something let it go
If it comes back to you it's yours
If it doesn't, it never was
Hold me down, baby

[Hook x2]
Either let me fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
If I don't fly I'mma die anyway, I'mma live on
But I'll be gone any day

[Verse 1]
Hold me down, niggas wanna know me now
Didn't want ta play with me when to show me how
No meow, cause its all about the bark
Let the dog loose baby it's about to spark
Light up the night, like the 4th of July
Niggas know, when I let go, niggas die
Wit' this Y and you don't know you slow like Baltimore
If you ain't trying to go ya blow
I soak up all the pain and accept it in silence
When I let go it's violence cause the wildest
Leaves the dog barking up the tree for the cat
In the fog but ya'll niggas see is the bat
Flapping away but I'm blind like Stevie
Niggas don't hear me, still trying to see me
Stop being greedy, you heard what I said
Let me go, let me flow on my bed

[Hook x2]

[Verse 2]
I sold my soul to the devil, and the price was cheap
Ayo it's cold on this level, cause it's twice as deep
But you don't hear me, ignorance is bliss and so on
Sometimes it's better to be thought dumb; shall I go on?
Yo, on the real, what the deal is a mystery
How is it I can live and make history?
If you don't see it then it, then it wasn't meant for you to see
If you wasn't born with it, it wasn't meant for you to be
But you can't blame me for not wanting to be held
Locked down in a cell where a soul can't dwell
This is hell, go get the devil and give me the key
But it can't be worst than the curse that was given to me
It's what I live for, you take away that and I'm gone
There's a difference between, doing wrong and being wrong
And that ain't right, just keep it fair baby
Put me in the air, and I'll take it there baby
Yes

[Hook x2]

[Verse 3]
I'ma flow regardless because I'm an artist until I'm trapped
I'ma continue to hit the hardest whether I scrap or rap
Give me dap, but you ain't my friend
I see it in your eyes, you contemplate my end
You waiting for that bend in the road, where you were told that you would go, when you were old
And if you died young, it was cold
Sold... for nearly what it was worth
Think back 26 years, be like what if his birth
Was a miscarriage and I never existed
Have I given something that have been taken away you'd have missed it
Didn't know, yet I persisted, it was the call of the wild
I merely say what's in my heart, and you call it a style
Don't put it in the cage, don't mistreat it
You say you hunger for knowledge? Here it is, eat it
Another song completed is another thought captured
Let me do my thing I got it locked wit' this rap shit

[Hook x2]

[Outro]
Or give me death
Or Take my breath
I'ma die anyway
But I'll be gone any day

Where my niggas ?
Uh ha ha, for my niggas [x3]
