Malik Ninety Five - City Conscious [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Master P talking]
“I’m just talking about what I see. Man look around. Look, look, what you see? You tell me what you see. You see a bunch of mansions around here? Do you? (No.) Okay. That’s reality. That’s what I’m talking about. It don’t even get no realer than this.”

[Verse 1: Malik Ninety Five]
I never put my trust in no man, strictly faith in God
So laughing at you niggas still putting your faith in broads
I came up out the city, some would say I’m beating the odds
Want all my niggas with me so for now I’m doing my job
Still aiming for the top, no downplay
They take your life, they earn their stripes, all up in broad day
What a shame, gripping grain, all the same, we on the way
Still rising to the top, nothing less than pass great
My homies steady hustle cause we tryna see a million bucks
I go hard cause niggas talk but they don’t listen too much
I guess I gotta talk it, who not but me?
Moving so swift through the city but rough shit all I see
Gotta let me tell you I been plotting
But strictly op shit what I been watching
Swear y’all make it tougher to breathe
Cause in my [?] calling out, only when we could stop it
Told my brother, “man you gotta watch it”

[Hook]
Rolling through this city man you gotta stay conscious
‘Cause you know them niggas still plotting (2x)
Plotting and watching, and niggas tryna rob me
This dude was tryna get it, I ain’t have no other option

[Verse 2: Trigga]
Long as I got niggas riding ‘til my deathbed
A down bitch that never cross me, give the best head
It’s fucked up, my pop potna just watched on that scene as his chest bled
The ones that he kept fed
I had to get it on my own, bank loan, big chrome
But leave the bitch on, it’s blown
Tell me what you tryna do, shit I’m tryna bust a move
Niggas always plotting, people watching, gotta keep my tool
You ain’t gotta be in the streets, the sidewalk they park it
You lacking and have it, ‘less a mark mean a target
Remember them times I had to jack and rob
Man I ain’t fear karma, just my hunger and pride
Had to push that to the side, in my city really ride
And my city niggas really die
You can tell I really want it by the look in my eyes
They fucking fakes, straight snakes disguised

[Hook]
Rolling through this city man you gotta stay conscious
‘Cause you know them niggas still plotting (2x)
Plotting and watching, and niggas tryna rob me
This dude was tryna get it, I ain’t have no other option
