Loaded Lux - Time [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Shaquille O'Neal]
Loaded Lux, Shaq Diesel, Superstar J. Kwik, 3 Times [?], Harlem

[Hook]
I could remember Nana sayin', "Everyone can be saved"
Some people just go through life playin'
It hits em when it's too late
As time goes by, we're moving closer to the grave
The Gods don't lie
As the cops roll by, knowing that he need a change
Your heart won't lie

[Verse 1: Loaded Lux]
Only lord knows the crossroads, until then
Lemme walk this world in some soft soles
A boys growing a mental stories before told
To pour souls in the ghetto that think them doors closed
We keep it knocking, out on the block where it's [?]
The lost cold [?] the elders held up and long gone
I tell my girl, "You the first teacher for sure though"
And our babies be better, you studied them like them talk shows
It's a strong hold, how I see it ugly the evil cruddy
Then I let this light of mine shine people [?]
The streets are bloody, man shouldn't stand where his feet get muddy
Watch ya step lil nigga kill ya for sneaker money
He got a rep out here to protect with his lion heart
Just got it wrong, I remember a time when I was lost
But now it's on, how the young warrior story go
That's how he live, cause all the years is all he know, just more to grow

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Loaded Lux]
Uh
Whole nother' different arrangement
So much for people with hope for the system changing
Shortys in the stories a glory n' livin' dangerous
Ain't nothin' bout it, colorful flowers and pretty paintings
This is straight gray, weight from the chip that his shoulders
Hold, n' it ain't safe feel the heavy stress in his face
Look for God n' stranded by strangers trying keep it in place
And moms out working just trying keep her a place
Say yo she straight by the day he grown
Slang them bones, hearing voices from choices he made it wrong
All the paid phone, stable home, with the cable on
He said, "Feel me Lux cause the bill collector afraid he won't"
And if I miss a lap, just tryna get my decisions back
My condition wack, I can't eat I don't flip this crack
I know it's wrong, but it's real as facts
And I ain't got a job for my nigga Black

[Hook]
