Illustrait - We Always Have A Choice [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
We always have a choice
At least I think we do
Always tried so hard
I thought this to be true

[Verse 1: Illustrait]
(crying) Mother crying tears
As her young child sleeps deceased in a coffin
Tears shed she lost her offspring
Think bout it tell me there ain't a problem
We dont get to see the young child blossum
Now i have a dream like Martin Luther King
Speak for peace on what our future brings
Guardian angel be spreading there wings
I feel the need the sooner we think
About the consequences and our actions
The sooner we have compassion
Forget stupid over reactions
Some killed for no reason
Ask Trayvon Martin
Shot for wearing a hoodie
Its a part of fashion
Truthfully
Peace is what our future needs
No more blood shed on streets
Your minds the weapon I'm tryna teach
Make the right choices can't you see
Blinded by what a weapon leaves
Shots off
More families mourn black ties and funerals
Another loss
All this gang lifestyle is more than a rumour mill
Taking the precious gift of life
That was once beautiful

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Illustrait]
Violence can we see a future without violence
Seen so much many suffer in silence
Pulling on our heartstrings like violins
Families mourn a loss crying
Praying dear lord wish it would stop
Stop the violence
(oh god)
Choices we make it ain't all hip hop
Hearing the sirens
Another lost sheep from a flock
No survival
Begging forgiveness from god
There is no honour in death at all
Now you say you now live with regrets
When a family lives with a death
Hope it eats your conscience
Hope you expose the accomplice
Still no statements or correspondence
Police reports on crime not bothered
Innocent nothing related if honest
On the lives lost i make this solum promise
Guns down no weapon shall prosper
Guns down whats the possesion taught us
Some how no confession at all
Stray bullet death of a toddler

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Illustrait
Another day we mourns a loss
Swear lord whats stopping us
Is it death before disnonor
At what cost
Or are we just lambs to the slaughter
We kill eachother this needs addressing now
God were in need of a blessing now
More lost souls people forgetting how
Put down the weapon put down the piece
Put down the knives
Fight for peace fight for rights
You wanna risk your life
Join an army
Still marching n killing
Its alarming
How you risk lives
When theres starving children
Innocent lives, living militant fights
Fighting immigrant plights
Starvation across the globe
Heart breaking how to cope
Lost souls lost along the road
So many wanna gangbang going for throats like hang man
Made the cities a gang land a rural britian like afghan
So listen im adressing the hatred
Making a statement
Letting go the patients

[Hook]
You got blood on your hands now face it
Hope your pleading to God
Rubbing those rosary beads raw
Putting faith on a cross
For God's sake when does it stop
When were the ones in a black suit & a tie
When were the ones that sadly died
When our families are asking why
When our families the ones to cry
Only then will we hear a final reply
A shot fired single bullet whizzing by
Caught in the corner of my eye
One shot one bullet (gun shot)
Another loss how stupid
Mistaken identity ruthless
To a jesus piece turnt judas
Truth is guns should be banished
Saying that poverty did the damage
Sorry won't reprimand what happend
Im tryna analyze the weapon handled
Tryna verbalise the scandal
Going through other channels
Turning tvs off seen enough
I'm writing my words with black ink
So it cuts real deep & it makes you think

[Outro]
Why is it we always gotta mourn a loss
Why is it karma comes with. a cost
If u don't wear armour u take the shots
Breathe it in with honour can it stop
Happens all the time can the guns drop
