Kid Optimism - Boston's Anthem (Prod. Kevin Bennett) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
The city's still alive, nobody can dim our shine
Made the stars realign, no more bleeding, no more cryin'
All across the city line, urban lights wake up the sky
Many people died, but our heart is where our spirit lays

[Verse 1]
It seems this country's falling apart
A man's instinct is to deplete population extinct
Devastating the city, they don't have any sympathy
Because simply they don't care about other people's despair
It's rare ghetto neighborhoods settle in peace
There's crime on the rise daily, hard to hear a happy melody
You need 10 hands to count the endless felonies
Hate negativity, where is the positivity?
Three explosions later and the city is restless
Regardless of what happened, we're still strong and relentless
It goes down in history, we won't ever forget it
And we won't let it get to us, a nation of togetherness
Boston is a stamp in our hearts
It's the capitol for a reason, been that way from the start
There's no ending the existence of a nation so united
Pledge allegiance to the flag, remember the message and recite it

[Hook 2x]

[Verse 2]
Look at where we are
Despite all of the crime, we have made it hella far
Despite all of the tragedy happening and locality blackening
Our mentality is undisputed, never polluted
One time for the sports fans spreading the cheer
Another time for the symphony that plays every year
But most of all raise the banner for the people that didn't survive
Through a day of massacre, I pay respect for their demise
Spectating the marathon, who would've thought
That a lot of lives would be lost at such a horrible cost?
Nobody, it threw everybody off
Obviously we can't control anything that we don't know
How can we make this world better?
Not only for the city, but everybody together
Actions speak louder, but sometimes we gotta preach
The past can't change, but we can extend reach

[Hook 2x]

[Outro]
Even if the world comes crashing down
We'll be soldiers, we'll be soldiers
Even when we collapse to the ground
We'll be soldiers, we'll be soldiers

Bean Town never falls under combustion
We pull it out under pressure when it's a must win
At the summit of Everest we stand pround like, "Uh uh, you can't tell me nothin'!" [4x]

[Hook 2x]
