Dom McLennon - Patriot [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Produced by ROME

[Verse 1]
Flag waving in the distance
Vibes of good friends lingering in my existence
Look out to my past and I'm saying good riddance
While I'm on the same plane as the new astral visions
Living in a space where there's isn't any anguish
Just anxious to have success become my next language
Sitting in a cosmic palace
Stuck inside of wonderland I'm looking out for an Alice
How wonderful
The beauty of a breed
Of a woman in a sundress who rolls some good weed, but
Let me try and not stray from the topic
To be honest when I look out to their pier I get astonished
Exploring through these ruins, but though the surfaces are polished
Stuck in between a world where clouds are liquid but I'm solid
Am I tripping? I just think that I've been wishing
For a vision and I'm finally living out my existence

[Hook]
I told the patriarchs I wanna be a patriot
I broke the gradient they said my traits are salient
Destined to reach the consciousness of gods
I used to fear god, but it changed the day I became athiest

[Verse 2]
How does a man with no god pledge allegiance?
He does things to make his own peers say jesus
Step where no one would go, eye-to-eye with the regents
And say fuck everyone and everything that you believe in
That's what I scream until my death
Fornicating with insomnia until nothing is left
Giving breath, passing light, and energy to my life
You can't say you've seen pressure til they push you towards a knife
But, what will you do? Giving up is the cop out
Moving in slow motion, I've been ready to top out
Rolling with all the punches and going in for the knockout
Balling until I drop, & playing straight thru the lockout
A son of simba asked me what I should be proud about
I told him all my good friends who aren't droppin out
He asked why and I said their perseverance
Is the reason why I'm making everything that you are hearin'

[Hook]

[Bridge]
I pledge allegiance, to all my people
The ones in my life who make me feel like I'm an equal
In this ratrace, cause while other stumble on steeples
They had given me the seal, to fly like I was an eagle
It all started with some stars and stripes
Wrong and right, through the darkness, I was brought into the light
So this is for y'all, here I stand, one hand
On my heart, one man, a patriot of his fam
