II Kings - Run This Game [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook: DMB]
Now I feel strong, it's a new day
I'mma fight, I don't care about what you say
I'm just a guy, with battle scars
It's why they're treating me like I'm Lupe
But in the end, my only aim
Is to show you everything that I became
Cause the only reason, that I'm still staying
Is to run this game..

[Verse 1: Elusive]
I ain't numb, but the pain's gone
You could call me butterfly, the way I change form
So if you start to feel cold when it snows
You should know that it's only cause I had a brainstorm
But I ain't even gotta think
Some might say that I'm insane, but I'm really on the brink
I've lost the plot
Like there's a hole in my ship, so you know the whole shit is gonna sink
And if that happens I ain't gonna swim to shore
Cause I would rather drown at sea, than go where I have been before
As I'm floating on the ocean, showing no emotion
I feel like I've been falling but ain't ever gonna hit the floor
But still I felt my heart break
I guess love is like a habit that you can't break
Yeah I'm dealing with the pain, but if it's all the same again
And life is just a game, then I don't wanna partake..

[Hook]

[Verse 2: DMB]
I hear angels, calling out my name
So I close my eyes, as I'm falling out the plane
Uh, and I know that you would have done the same
Cause they need my help just to run this game
But I'm done with pain, as I surf the wind
It's the end of our time, but the earth still spins
So when I hit the ground, I'm resurfacing
Cause I still haven't found my purpose in..
This world we're in, yeah I've seen a lot
So many flashbacks that I can't seem to stop
I've traveled so far, and now I need to drop
If you're confused it's cause you haven't seen the plot
This could be the spot, we've been waiting for
In time, now we're knocking on satan's door
Uh, but I didn't want to threaten your beliefs
Because these beats were made for war..

[Hook]

[Bridge: DMB]
We're taking over
No more breaking bread with the enemies - now I'm just breaking boulders
With shaking shoulders
Never will you get ahead of me, I'll escape satan's soldiers
Now a new day has begun
And I know that we won't lose this game we run
I can't leave it in someone else's hands
When mine are made of titanium..

[Verse 3: DMB]
So I made the choice, to stay and help
Although I don't wanna spend another day in hell
Because somebody has to run this game
It shouldn't be you so I may as well
And I hate the smell, of lying cats
Deny the truth, instead you should just find the facts
You think it's dark in here, light a match
Uh, to see the truth here - carbon tax
With a sharpened axe, anticipation
Is what I'm feeling while I'm on this mission waiting
Uh, for someone else to make the first move
It could be us, or a different nation
But the implication - genocide
Would you want to make that choice or would you step aside
Either way, you'll have to gather what's left inside
Because II Kings will never hide..

[Hook]
