Ed O.G - Listen [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1:]
Should I mention ma hood extension
Your pathways to hell is not paved with good intentions
Caught receding stopped the bleeding
The tide of war is rising up
I say what's the meaning rap capitalist
Boss in Brooklyn, Minneapolis
Hip Hop activist who master this fight or you a pacifist
Catch you opened hand thats a half of fist for your ratchetness
I don't waste energy on haters condemning me
Ma 80% friends not ma 20% enemies
You got signs to throw up, nigga grow up
Hit yo dough up you show off I just show up
And split yo shit quick fast slip pass yo bitch ass
Spending bossing make you miss matched
You throw aways, just trash
Edo don't kiss ass I kick ass

[Background singing *unable to transcribe*]

[Verse 2:]
You need to open up yo ears and listen to the prophet
To live dumb deaf and blind yo it's catastrophic
You don't got the rocket so drop it cause you don't got it
You act [?] but we the garbage you need to stop it
You never modest pretend you got us [?] friendly topic
You wanna lock it but couldn't [?] to hit the positive
Yeah! yo let's talk about it
You never see the big picture cause you always crop it
You bet he watching you when you wallet is outa ya pocket
Cause here in Boston we get it popping we let the Glock spit
You better know we [?] Metropolis
Cause if you don't we gonna flame until your top lit
We be jumping and sniffing niggas like it's a mashed pot
We be running and hunting figures like we don't got shit
Yo I got ma hustle don't knock it
Flying out the projects, into the tropics
If you not fit you shouldn't even mock with
Topics that dude is what you see in the mob flicks
Listen you getting dropped kicked
Did you hear the sound I said you getting dropped quick

(Background chorus *unable to transcribe*]

[Verse 3:]
Yo I could tell you what you need
But you probly won't believe what i'm saying
Though we higher in the league
Yeah we grinding till we tired and fatigue
We supplying for the need and what we on a different speed
Hip Hop gonna take us to the corners of the earth
What it's worth we gonna eat family first
I boss around the beat and I manage the verse
I'm hot like four caddie cause a panic alert
First things first i'm a man of my word
Acting like you ain't heard what you straight heard
You got word you straigh cook like a pasta
And I keep it straight up like good posture
Gangster like a mobster i'll never [?] eating pasta
On the beat i'm a monster
Is it true all this time you been ignoring
Sleeping snoring we just been touring
Back to the hood and i'm still not sleeping
It's like 4 in the morning and i'm still a little high off soaring
A couple [?] that's foreign and
When you listen yo you just can't ignore it
