Masta Artisan - Now (Spontaneous Generation) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I am part of the spontaneous generation/
Which has a fascination for instant gratification/
Before I even get the check/
To get what I want, I’ll spend money that I don’t even have yet/
Because I want it now! As quick as possible, I want life to smother me/
With undeserved luxuries/
I got a few advances and about five loans/
To pay for the stuff I want... I mean, what I need in my home/
I need it decked out with exotic plants Ivory floors/
To make it look like I could never be poor/
And getting these pricy, new kicks help me feel alive/
Along with the plasma t.v., X box, laptop, you know, the stuff I need to survive/
Of course, most of my furnishments are not legally mine/
But as long as I’m getting money, it’ll be fine/
Sure, my situation is dangerously volatile/
But I at least I got what I want as soon as possible/

And I think I speak for my generation when I say.....

[Chorus]
What do we need? (Whatever We Want!)
When do we need it? (Now!)

[Verse 2]
I must admit, modern technology is crazy and maybe/
Made me a little lazy, but hey, we/
Must remember why progress is a thing that needs to be/
So that new inventions let us live our lives more easily/
Really, who want to work over the stove like a slave/
When the same job is done with a microwave/
And in less time, yes, I’m sure these meals are nutrition-free/
But I eat to be full, not to be healthy/
And so now, I may have gained a pound or two... or 50/
But there’s an ad that says I can get rid of it swiftly/
With a product that helps you lose weight while still eating whatever/
You treasure, and getting results without putting forth any effort/
Is the American dream, and I’m defenseless/
When they advertise things that help you bypass consequences/
And don’t bring up that “long term effects” crap again, pipe down/
Cuz I’m only interested in what’s happenin right now/ you understand?

And I think I speak for my generation when I say.....

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
In these days, people might be saying that the technology we’re given/
Has devalued the quality of living/
But I disagree, because for centuries/
Man has dreamed for a day like this to be/
Were we can communicate with people in an instant all across the land/
And food is mass produced to be consumed at our command/
I’m tired of people talking like we were living in the good ol days/
And then computers came and put it all to waste/
Well, maybe technology has made us more greedy/
But at least we still need the basic things, you know, like t.v./
Okay, a culture built on short attention spans is hard to work with/
But no society’s perfect/
And we’re living in what humanity has always strived for/
And it’s your problem if you think it’s an eye sore/
Besides, we still have goals and dreams we believe in/
We just want them now, but without working too hard to achieve them/

And I think I speak for EVERYONE when I say...

[Chorus]
