Ill-Noize - H.T.W.L.T.L. [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Ill-Noize]
This one for my Indigo Children, eyes closed, legs fold, mind chillin'...

[Verse 1: Ill-Noize]
Ever since I was a kid I knew I would be special
Always knew that some day I would conquer instrumentals
Only 8 years young, I started playing the drums
That's when the love for performance started piercing my mental
I also always liked to write, so I stayed fillin' up notebooks from the break of day into the dark of night
I wrote song after song, hook after hook, but I never really gave any of em a second look (why?)
Cause I was always drumming in punk bands when I was a teen
Open mics, long haired, & awkward, probably lookin' like a dweeb...
But you should never judge a book by its cover, cause you never know who'll become the next up-&-comer, yup!
In 2011 my whole world changed, that was the first time I gripped this mic & took stage
Pouring out my insecurities while learning to be brave, 'n now I'm puttin my all into this shit
I'm here to stay...

[Hook: Ill-Noize]
Hate this world, love this life
Hate this world, but love this life
There comes a time in every mans life when he must rise with pride, & take control of his mind
So tell me, are you alive? Uh uh
So tell me, are you alive? Yea yea ya

[Verse 2: Ill-Noize]
Now back to beginning of this shit
Never really knew I would be spittin this shit
I woulda never thought I had it in me
I was so lost, depressed, & stressed, yes what I pity...
But then one day everything just changed
& hip-hop was my chariot to live a new way
Yea, this shit helped me save myself
Dive deep inside, & reclaim myself
Now I strive for greatness everyday
I was so sick of bein tired, & tired of bein sick
Til I figured out the secrets to make everything click
Took control of my mind & flipped up the on switch
Take a hit, then I split, it's all love here, yo
This song goes out to every boy n every girl
Who wanna see how the plan unfurl
Go ahead! give it a whirl, I'm out!
Cause honestly I've never really been too impressed with the world... shout!

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Ill-Noize]
Now you can't tread on me
I'm out here tryin'a live my life
I still dwell on them times
When I was fighting for a peaceful night
Now I no longer have trouble sleepin
Until I fuck up my schedule on the weekend
Actually I barely drink anymore, maaan, but I smoke more than ever
It helps the ideas flow, & clears my mind of this desert
Never embezzle, or fold
I live the life of the bold & the honest
I leave 'em astonished, because I'm delivering what I promised, not a novice, but I stay modest, until I drop the rawest knowledge
Now pay homage, to the freshest MC
Comin' out the 773, it's New Vision, North Side
Reppin' my team, yo!
Takin' the time to practice meditation
Because I'm not the type to depend on medications
I'm just tryina live like every day's vacation
I've been workin' if you couldn't tell
& now it's time for infiltration...

[Hook]

[Outro: Ill-Noize]
(Don't let them break your spirits, don't let them crush your dreams. It's your life, your mind to think.)
