Kendrick Lamar - Compton Life [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro] x2
Chevy lights, women you like
Husslin' nights, (ad lib)
Rollin' dice, gangsta rights
Hood advice, (ad lib}

[Verse 1]
I'm back at it again
My city back at it with ‘em
Back against the wall K Dot they tryin' the pin
But they can fuck with that pen
The shit I write is brighter than blue gems
You better stay in the gym
Exercise your mind till it's strong enough
To fuck with mine
Stick to my roots like Black Thought and 'em
I'm black with thoughts of Einstein
One word describing him, genius
What you know about the city I'm living
With the souls of the dead it's livin
You don't know about our living conditions
We live righteously, we can't give a fuck about your opinion
But it's more than just weed and women, gangsters , husslers
Bullet collisions, players , pimps
Who can envision the place where I reside
Where Eazy was pitching, Dre was 6'4 lifting
NWA had mansion, Quik at the turn tables
Mixin the first ones to say fuck the system
I'm tryin to tell you about

[Hook] x2
Chevy lights, women you like
Husslin' nights, homie that's Compton life
Rollin' dice, gangsta rights
Hood advice, homie that's Compton life

[Verse 2]
His own street like concrete
Would best describe fit his gutter
But see I'm what's underneath
A young gun but not like your young Chris and Eve
I'm from the land of organized crime
Disorderly peace
‘Cause nowadays niggas hustle when they order their piece
And worship their gun the same as their religious beliefs
The Compton shares can't forget the police
‘Cause in the hood tellin pigs no more
It be the mark of the beast
And their main aim is just the talk of the streets
But when you see ‘em please be quick on your feet
That they go , watch em!?
Had you for road kill just like a possum
You could contain ‘em
But there's no way that you could stop ‘em
Niggas plant their seeds to be gangstas
Hoping one day they blossom
The same time, hope the system don't lock ‘em
‘Cause Compton raise niggas and bitches we barely got ‘em
Unless you talk about the one with the attitude problem
From Rosecrans to Central, Compton Centennial
We back that's for my people it's official

[Hook] x2

[Verse 3]
I don't know if he new around here
Ye it's good to know somebody if you're new around here
‘Cause it ain't too safe for you to cruise around here
Niggas stick to your ass like glue around here
Take New Jersey and fit it shit whatever you don't care
It ain't no magic trick if they make your shit disappear
The outcome is severe, and some of this casket will last a day
But I'm amazed cause the young boy been here for years
I seen niggas shed blood blood tears
Hope you not try to plan for the future niggas will mute you
Had your door in the morning wake you up like roosters
Introduce you to rugers
Clock you in like Tap Judah
A nightmare on my street, Fred Krueger where I live
Minus the actress and the producers
Even adolenscence will shoot you over that paper
We get +Vapors+ like Biz Markie but still I'm used to
From Rose crest to central, Compton's Anthemia
We back that's for my people it's official

[Hook] x2
