Mogli The Iceburg - Blink of an Eye [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Mogli the Iceburg]

Wrote this with emotion
3 days, 5 months, 10 years
And my heart still swollen
Pillowcase still soaked up from the tears
When I think about that day and you mama
Been so long for me mama
And it still don't seem real
That you're really gone from me mama
Yeah
They say time heals wounds
I'm tellin time hurry up
Cause if wounds don't heal I just box things out
And I seal pain up
Cause after all this time all I got are these memories with ya
But even those start to fade
I swear we ain't take enough pictures
Quit your job just to stay at home with me
You were never gonna let someone else raise your child
And even though we really needed money
Daddy started workin overtime to even things out
When the night fall
You would cook the chicken with the red rice
Homemade meals for the three of us
And you taught me bout' love
And you taught me bout' prejudice, yeah
Some people gon' see the way we look
Listen to the way we speak and
Tell us that we don't belong here
Crossville, Tennessee that's the backwoods
Hate runs deeper than the Chevys and the John Deere
But don't let them spite you, son
They are just some people like you, son
You a sinner just like them, son
And don't forget that God loves them just like
He loves you, son
Wise words from a wise woman
Wish that you were still alive to tell me more
Cause this life's like a minefield
Don't know what I'm steppin toward
I'm just, moving the Spirit inside me
You know with this music we don't take these things lightly
Chillin with the Tribe that's my fam beside me
Never trippin over whether people gon' like me yeah
That's the confidence you taught me
I guess I really learned to fake it well
Cause they always see me with a real big smile
Even when I ain't doin so well
But I made that b-ball team like you
And you know I even tried to sing just like you
And you know I'm following my dreams just like you did
And I still get depressed just like you, did
They say to the Father, a day is like a second
And a minute's like a year
So for you to be up in eternity with Him
I do not think that time for you is the same as it is down here
And there's no sorrow so I guess you
Never get to see all of the times that I sin and I drop the ball
But that's probably for my benefit
Cause if you were to see all of the junk that I've done
You'd probably smack my mug and all
Holy father, won't you please send this message to my loved one:
Pretty mama, your heart lives on right in your son, yeah
No matter how much time that's in this world
That pass me by, eh
I'll be home with you
In the blink of an eye
