SC Static & Zoo - Falling Down [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Falling Down Lyrics

(Static’s Verse)
Yo if you need a hand homie, let me be your guide
I’ll take you back to when we use to rehearse and practice each other’s rhymes
You gotta keep that energy alive
Cause it seems like nowadays you lack a necessary drive
You’re too young to look back on your memories and thrive
You got your whole life ahead of you, your destiny resides
Wherever you desire, so progress and always strive
Cause there’s way more to life then a temporary high
And back in Junior High, we were enemies, then split
Over some dumb shit, then we made a new friendship
But nowadays you acting distant with resentment
You ain’t even the same kid that I became friends with
Cause we were in this, from the start at the heart of it
So you ain’t even holding up your part of the bargain then
I see the things you seek, so I question your intentions
I see you looking weak, so I question your dependence
Now I would never question your faith and your loyalty
But I would question your mind state and your normalcy
I question your humility it shows
I question your stress and ability to cope
I question your quest and ability to grow
And your pens at your desk and then if you even wrote
So if you ain’t gonna try, then what’s the point of pencil
If you ain’t willing to apply, then what’s the point of potential?
And stop acting like everyone is against you
Cause in reality we’re right here to defend you
But you treat the ones who care dismissive and snobby
Cause your too damn stubborn and never listen to anybody
Cause we’re just tryna understand what you’ve dealt with
That you deny you needed help with, cause you’re selfish
And I’m just curious, after all the bad habits
And carrying all that baggage, what the fuck you think was gonna happen?
That you’d get high and be able to focus
Everything would just be fine and nobody would notice
But I can see your struggling and suffering is major
Cause your only displaying dysfunctional behavior
I mean what I say, especially if I wrote it
So I ain’t gonna downplay it, I ain’t gonna sugarcoat it
Just think of all the pain you just put your mother through
Just think of the example that you set for your brother Zoo
And think of all your friends that just need you to be Zach
And I know that its true cause I speak on their behalf
But its different now, nobody can trust you
Cause you became a different person after your drug use
Pursue who you are and nobody can judge you
Just know that we’re here, that we care, and we love you
Pursue who you are and nobody can judge you
Just know that we’re here, that we care, and we love you
One Love Zoo

(Zoo’s Verse)
And on a rainy day like today it’s easy to feel down
Just remember some of your boys are stuck in your hometown
Feeling tied down to the game, still pushing pounds
While we’re at some bar in some city buying strangers rounds
It doesn’t matter if the ball’s already out of bounds
Go and get it, make sure you bring it back around
Sometimes all it takes is one more rotation
Before you realize you got some dormant motivation
And by dormant, I mean sleeping for the moment
It’s fighting to wake up while you keep yourself in a coma
And if I said it I meant it and then I probably wrote it
Proceeded to fill it up and then roll it and smoke it
And I stare at straight faces while they ask me what the joke is
I stare back with blood shot eyes and an open mouth
And I think about all the cities that I’ve lived in while I’m sitting on my mom’s couch
And lately I haven’t been writing enough
Life’s been rough and fighting’s a must
Over the edge and under the cusp
Shake off the rust, take off the cuffs
Saddle up even if you’ve been bucked
Paddle tough if your canoe seems stuck
I realize it’s pointless in life to just chase luck
Ain’t rockin’ chucks from Cleveland, but it’s time to ‘Lace Up’
Maybe speed the pace up, read the great stuff
From scrolls to pages, maybe even a blog
Put more smoke in the air then the L.A. smog
You don’t have to tell me or help, I know the way that I’ve been living is wrong
In the past it tends to take me away, but tonight it’s given me this song
Another late night, I’m home alone ever so often
I’m looking for a man, but I’m afraid that I’ve lost him
I keep hanging up flyers, “Missing” across the top
Hoping that someday soon these nightmares might stop
And if they don’t, I’ll close my eyes and keep dreamin’
Like a wise man once said if you can’t join them, then beat them
So I step back, plan my attack
Empty a bottle of Jack and then throw up all my guts on the track
Yeah they say no guts, no glory
And if you don’t have the scars then you don’t have the story
The phone rings right away, I know who it is
She says “look at the sky, look how blue it is”
Yeah I know, I’ve seen it before
She whispers “no look closer, I promise you will see more”
So I did, I sat back and gazed into the skies
It took me a while, suddenly I saw the God
He had the face of the missing man on the flyers
The one I admired, I took another hit and got higher
He looked lost in paradise without even knowing
Filled with emotions that he wasn’t capable of showing
He stumbled with a prescription pad in his hand
Writing down the tribulations that made him a man
He wrote words like passion and balance, hard work and talent
And of course how to be valiant
Every second I watched, I could still hear her
With every word she spoke the picture became clearer
To the point in which I realized I was starring in the mirror
