GemStones - God Is My Rock [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

What is joy without pain
If its nothing left what is there to gain
Whoever said sunshine brings happiness
Has never danced in the rain
I've worked for everything that I've obtained
Looking at the clouds from the window of my plane
All I could do is smile mama look how far I've came
Proud Crazy cause it started as a dream
Wow Shows that everything is everything
I Remember days of Thinkin things would never change
Taron And Tasha Talking about my shoes because the name
Crying Walkin out the door to school cause I'm ashamed
If only someone hada told me time will bring a change
To always cease the moment because nothing stays the same
That I would some day wish that I could do it all again
There will be a time I found it cool to not complain
I Learned from the wise to never shoot before I aim
Game Judge trees by the fruit that hang
Bang Blood bleeding from a wounded brain
Another public school student dead at 17
Dang The younger generation won't sustain
Everybody Blinded by the diamonds and the chains
My homie say we Violent cause the climate Ain't the same
Why is everybody so afraid to find a lane
Why you so concerned who define you as a lame
It's hard to not be carnal when the mind is in them chains
I guess that's just the science to the game
I work for every single fan I got
The crew I thought was rooting for me left me out to rot
I know Alotta cats was hoping I would be forgot
Dropped ? I walked away so god could be my rock
Cousin Onna phone screaming drizzy gotcha spot
I guess the road to glory want enough to shut his chops
Went Ova many heads it wasn't that it wasn't hot
And then I dropped an elephant now everybody shocked
Success is not defined by what you got
But by the things you overcome when you been through a lot
Don't mean that you successful jus because you at the top
You possibly been stepping Onna mini toe but when you drop
You gone wish that they would reach they hands to catch you but they not
This life has been a blessing even if I never popped
Who knew the kid that grew up in the ghetto with no plot
Would someday be Makin cheddar off the letter that he jot
And still gone put my mama Inna spot
Gone make it out the ghetto whether you believe or not
Gone give my all forever I was taught to never stop
Until I'm settled and they puttin rose pedals on my box
The pedal never stops
The kettle or the pot
Was taught to never settle
It's better with no Geppetto on the top
Freedom to do whatever whenever I can't be boxed you
Get no respect in this industry when you not they
Slinging Salami care less if you eat or not where they
Kick in the door break the hinges or pick the locks just
Make sure that it's done in the memory of PAC
Time is ticking minutes running out jus like my pops
Father thank god the inning was man enough to adopt
Though everything was a limit he never left me to rot
17 I remember Tellin Nem we could box
Rebellious in front of dell and relatives that would watch
And get to see all the helling and yelling for me to stop
I'm probably the blame for every gray hair my mama got
Would go back and forth with a woman but couldn't pick up a mop
Nobody could tell me nothing my ego was through the top
My virginity had been broken all of the women was on my Joc
Depressed because I was broke I needed to make some gwop
I Went out and bought me some dope but I never could sale a rock
My cousins was Onna oath and he would get Em off on the block
And when he did he spent all the cash and Neva gave me my chop
I don't mean to bring up the past but that's one I never forgot
We look back on it now and laugh but when it happened it had me hot
Because I was so full of wrath I'm surprised I never was shot
I then done some things in my past that would have a priest Lookin shocked
But I've over come all the bad now I'm on my way to the top
Because god is my rod and staff and forever gone be my rock
