Ngajuana - A Losing Battle [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Take a walk down the street, see the pushers push drugs
Everybody and their brother wants to act like a thug
With their backs to the brixs, their gat, and mean mugs
They act out the life that Pac done dreamed up
I done seen some slums, done dirt I can’t clean
I’ve Stabbed cats, in the name of pride, for my team
All it ever gave me, was nightmares, of bad deeds
Made me question if I was indeed a bad seed
In need of structure badly, believe
To see me succeed is all my dad needs
To see the salvation he’s prayed for to come
For his youngest child, me, his one and only son
Wrote Never Learn to thank him, for keeping his faith
He’s the man behind the scenes, who wants to see me be great
He wants to see me wield my sword to cut my slice of the cake
Instead of using it to see just how much I can take

It’s apparent that parent’s parenting could make the differ-ence
Between a kid who deals yay, and other kids who sniffing it
I’m wishing we were winning in the battle, but we’re losing it
The winner in the end, is who had nothing to do with it

The chorus is a metaphor, forever for the guide
To heaven’s door, cause heaven’s courts will judge you on your life
You could be a pusher, be a custie, or be a sheep
If God calls himself a shepherd, which he want you to be
Not a question, about your knowledge of the bible
But simply a suggestion how to rise above your rivals
It’s easy to be a loser, just do nothing
Pursue less than that, smoke weed, sell crack
Pattern your life, after my life, and it’ll happen
And the only thing you’ll need to learn, is how to make a weapon
Or fuck your kids neglect ‘em, leave ‘em when they’re just infants
After all, it ain’t your fault you got a ten year sentence, is it
Of course it is, nobody forced this business on ya
You might have seen it, but I’ve lived it, so I spit it for ya

It’s apparent that parent’s parenting could make the differ-ence
Between a kid who deals yay, and other kids who sniffing it
I’m wishing we were winning in the battle, but we’re losing it
The winner in the end, is who had nothing to do with it
