Jah Tung - Keep On (Road To Zion) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

"Keep On" a Western Sydney rendition/reworking of Nas & Damian Marley's "Road To Zion"

Jah will be waiting there we a shout, Jah will be waiting there x 2

CHORUS: (Jah Tung)
We got to keep on walking, on the road to Zion man
We gots to keep it burning on the road to Zion man

Verse 1 (Chrispy)
Turned crazy, my girl hates me
Feel like the whole world is trying to erase me
Kind of just want to leave it all behind & hit the road
Instead of sitting by the water, thoughtless, bored & skipping stones
It's so hard man, the money side of it is fucking with me
Tell me love is risky, I'll pack my bags just to run off with it
It's just amazing somebody could fall in love with Chrispy
Shouldn't have taken it for granted, now she got the thought to ditch me
Shits me, sitting here feeling helpless
Nobody on my side, man, I swear I never felt this
Battered & broken, I'm so fucking selfish
I never realised the wait of the world until I held it
On my shoulders like a boulder, man, it's crushing me
I swear I'll break if one more situation tries to fuck with me
Even my conscience looks back at my shell like its done with me
My friends don't even want to call me up to have some fun with me
Can feel my soul reaching out of its grave from under me
It's all too much now, I just want to run out & fucking scream
Trying to hold it all together, but I'm buckling
If there is a higher power, please tell me this is just a dream

CHORUS: (Jah Tung)
We got to keep on walking, on the road to Zion man
We gots to keep it burning on the road to Zion man

Verse 2: (Jah Tung)
Well it's my life, & it's high time
To align with my light & the right vibe
Used to be another link in the pipeline
But now I'm flying with The Most High
Been so blessed, feel no stress
Cause me changed me ways, true progress
Used to rush, now I move with the slowness
Run like a river cause the river do flow best
& now I feel so alive, heart set & I know it's right
No sell-soul compromise
& my daily grind is to lend some time to the misguided juveniles
Who but I, if you're irate when your youth want you to smile?
You've only got to pause awhile
See the truth of the universe looking into their eyes
So whatever your journey
Never give it up, me say, remember you heard me
Know yourself & the things your yearn
Cause thatta real, real, real, real, real!

CHORUS: (Jah Tung)
We got to keep on walking, on the road to Zion man
We gots to keep it burning on the road to Zion man

Verse 3: (Jinz Moss)
Dance with the devil, my heart is dishevelled
Crafting my casket to laugh & embezzle
My past is my harness I grasp at the nettles
& it hurts to remember all the scars & cuts
The cuts drip the elixir of a lava slug
The slugs swim into the picture & the path is done
Once the smoke clears, along with lone fears
What are we left with?
Sombre song tears & a longing resentment
Look at the fucking time it took to get me where I am
& I'm still a fucking spectator sitting in the stands
Observing an imposter, flicking through his grands
While I'm gripping at my dreams cause they're written in the sand
Face of bulimic, craven & sea sick
Tasting the gristle when I'm basically breathing
Taken by phases of angels & demons
Evenings are sleepless, days of daydreaming
Rage with fake heathens, claim to make cleavers
Well, if it's lost, then it's lost at the cost of my blood
& I'll bleed 'til my soul lies lost in the dust
