John Givez - Chapter 29 [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
A player had a change of heart
A change of start
In Chapter 29
Of Jeremiah

[Verse 1]
I lay alone in my room weary and wounded wondering where God is
Living my life godless for too long
I tried it and I am try to just bribe Him with the sweet prayers of my mama but luck done ran out
I'm a southern California playalistic rebel with no cause
I think my soul's lost somewhere between captivity and captivation
My situation is sh-
I'm facing this complex
Excuse my language but don't take this here out of context
You in my room, where I do what I do to get by
God I hope you don't mind if I read this Bible and get high like that song Kush & Corinthians say
Will you take me as I am?
I can't be nobody else but my damn self
And I landed on Chapter 29
In the book of Jeremiah
Verse 11, and I ain't no reverend
But this here say you got plans for me
Do you got plans for me?

[Hook] (x2)
I can't admit Ya
(I turned it to the page, it was Chapter 29)
I stand to face Ya
(Turned it to the page, it was Chapter 29)
I gave You time
(I turned it to the page, it was Chapter 29)
Turn to chapter 29
(Turned it to the page, it was Chapter 29)

[Bridge]
A lot of people saying they can hear God
Never scared but they saying I should fear God
Staring at the ceiling feeling hopeless
All alone, can you tell me if you're near God?

[Verse 2]
Now God I don't mean no disrespect
I got baggage and I don't know how to let it go just yet
I know I'm a sinner
I know the devil see me as dinner
I know there's levels to this
When I look at my life and how I was raised I know I'm better than this
But see the cards been dealt
I need your help to play this hand
I'd pray to you everyday if I got to and tell the homies about your plan
And they probably gon' laugh at me but that's cool
I'll show them how You
Found a wretched vessel to use
Bless me with tools
Take me anywhere You want me to go
Matter fact, show me everything you want me to know
Oh my soul
I rebel against hell
And try my best to live well
And if I fail
Pick me up again God

[Hook]

[Bridge 2] (x2)
All the gangstas, get down
All the hustlers, get down
All the players, get down
It's a war for your soul
What now?
[Repeated during bridge]
(What now? It's a war for your soul) (x6)

[Outro]
Far from here, we can go far
Far from here, we can go far
We can roll
We can go
We can stroll
