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

[Intro]
Ah
Ah, yes
It's Edo!

[Verse 1]
Yo, when trouble starts [?]
Shootin' in the air like the Hubble launch
Take up the streets like I'm double parked
My struggle is subtle and so starch

My knuckles make you buckle with no rebottle, smiles a chuckle
Burst your fuckin' bubble, any [?]
Guess, the dirt in the shovel put my foot to you ballers
And break up your huddle - (Hut 1, hut 2, hike!)

My intuition puts rappers on pause - intermission
Shut your mouth, stop your bitchin'!
Take a listen cause you take a long time to make a quick decision
You rappers on a mission

The Golden Era, we wish it was back
When I was young, gifted and black, it's been actual facts
Nowadays they young, gifted and whack
If you depict them as the victim, then the system I attack

[Hook] [2x]
We don't make mistakes, we make choices (in the city)
So choose to stay in shells like oysters (in the city)
I choose to be the voice of the voiceless (in the city)
And stay on point, when it's pointless (in the city)

[Verse 2]
My ability to have [?]
Spit that peace and tranquility, you killin' me
When you unfullfilling me wit'cha negative vibe
And soliloquy, these rhymes take time and ingenuity

If I didn't say my name you woudn't know it's me
Or even notice me cause you puffin' on that loadest tree
Come and talk like you Jodeci, rhyme police beat who spit that poetry
You rappers is chicken, like poultry I'm globally, you block bound

No hand to lift you up when you knocked down
Mine amend to prison: Stay the lock down!
I'm on that UGHH - it's a lost sound
Why you cross town with that pop sound?

This is [?] towns, city on lockdown
Underground never [?]
[?] like my name was Diddy
(Settle, Nigga!) [3x]

[Hook] [2x]
We don't make mistakes, we make choices (in the city)
So choose to stay in shells like oysters (in the city)
I choose to be the voice of the voiceless (in the city)
And stay on point, when it's pointless (in the city)
