Lona - Mic Check [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Lona]
Now Mike done came home
His lights ain't on
Momma looking broke down and yet she fights on
He wonder why life wrong
He read the bible, he pray, and he sing the songs
But he can't catch a break, they won't leave him alone
The kids at school is dissing, walking through the halls and he hear them whispering
He can hoop never missing, got all of the schools visiting
But his clothes got holes, he try to ignore it all but it gets old
They hit him up about selling and he gone he gone, trying make that paper quick on the money train
But which more important his life or the money made? Momma preaching, he ain't heard a thang
Tired of the agony so he bugging, he bugging, now he out in them streets and he thugging, he thugging
New life he hear sirens and he running, ducking bullets while the gunning
Momma worried, her little hoopstar is now slanging and banging
She suspicious of his endeavors and his engagements
He laying boys out on the pavement if they don't have that payment
He dealing, making a quick easy living
Til he forgot which city he livin
Now they trynna get him
Yeah they tried to kill him
He pull through just to get locked up, his girl knocked up
Nike was supposed to have his shoes on sale, now he locked up and he sitting in a cell
Where did the time go? Where did his life go?
He had a future in hooping and now that road gone
Everything he dreamed to be is everything that he not
Son on the outside, by now he about five
Mike fighting just to reach the outside
Homies nowhere to be found, momma don't want him around
He can't find a job, convict they ain't hiring
Old flames is trying him, no one to turn to
He was trynna ball and missed out on the ball, he disappointed em all
Its so much going, he keep moving along
Repairing broken connections, learning the word and reading in different segments
Him and Sarah getting back together, not some girl he got pregnant
And now he happy cause there's nothing like Momma's forgiveness
He trynna make a difference
Speaking at schools trynna save the youth
Its life when you broke
Just make sure mike isn't you
