Swift (fka R-Swift) - My City [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: R-Swift]
(Run)
Run this city

[Hook 1: R-Swift]
Ayo, I run my city
Young boys live and die by the gun in my city
Put on for Philly when the slums ain't pretty
But I won't give up cause I'm here to (run this city)
The heroes are unsung in my city
They asking what good can come from my city
But as long as we're alive He ain't done in my city
Yeah we here to (run this city)

[Verse 1: R-Swift]
Uh, I'm in this city given breath to 'em
Why they thinking freedom is far fetched to 'em
The stained glass couldn't mean rest to 'em
But that's what happens when death is living next to 'em
I saw a fiend take his last breath in front of me
Ducking bullets with no name the streets are numbing me
Mamma praying not to break
I had to attenuate
Wonderin' how much more could she take
Everyday I wake up a subject, profile them cause I resemble the average suspect
Very few opportunities for success
How did you expect for me to be upset
This the voice of the people that I sacrifice for
And die for those moments to shed light more
They say the lack of hope is killing the city
But that won't stop us from rebuilding our city
What up

[Hook 2: Davis Absolute]
I said I run this city
Adopt it when I got it I ain't from this city
Look after my people cause I love this city
Every day gets sticky when I (run this city)
Yeah God said run this city
Adopt it when I got it, I ain't from this city
Chase [?] people cause He loves this city
Everyday ain't pretty but I (run this city)

[Verse 2: Davis Absolute]
Yep, digital Babylon
Words that we write'll chit and chatter follow the fly like the cattle when the camera's on
Locked in the battle from the shadows controversy and actual rock you standing on
Rocky road you travel on, when Daniel saw rock of ages routed in for different foundations found salvation in the Saviours arms
Kingdom of Heaven on like the kingdom of weapons that we devised and divide and encourage false recollection of history and divinity
Purpose and synergy
Break the mould of corporations creating identity
Put us in boxes and [?] man I'mma leave to emulate the picture they believe but we pretend to be content with the separatist
More imagery with the silent whisper knowing that infinity is beyond
Before I finish this song
I pray the intervals are
Know when this is where I'm supposed to be
But it's not where I belong (where I belong, where I belong)

[Hook 3: Eric Heron]
I'm just trying to run this city
Ride around town and have fun in this city
Even if I die young in this city
I'mma run this city, boy run this city, ah
I'm just trying to run this city
Ride around town and have fun in this city
Even if I die young in this city
I'mma run this city, boy run this city, ah

[Verse 3: Eric Heron]
Let's flashback to before all these hashtags
The [?] in a black mask
Through every street like Flash Jackson
Birthed up in that slave town
My work place and my play ground
My first date and my breakout
The worst days and the grace now
Got freed up with the H-Town
Found Jesus on my way down
My teams up when the game's down
Can't beat us no way how
Now one time for the cool kids
And two times for the rhymes and the music
I miss the days where I used to skip school and
Show up to practice after I excused it
Matter fact I remember all the ruses
And hard work cause success is elusive
The blood, sweat and tears here is confusing
To those of us who have never feared losing
It's amusing
I'm looking back in my city
Welcome to Texas, run it back like Ricky
Let's go

[Hook 4: R-Swift, Davis Absolute & Eric Heron]
[R-Swift]
Ayo, I run my city
Young boys live and die by the gun in my city
[Davis Absolute]
Look after my people cause I love this city
Every day gets sticky when I (run this city)
[R-Swift]
The heroes are unsung in my city
They asking what good can come from my city
[Eric Heron]
Even if I die young in this city
I'mma run this city, boy run this city, ah

[Outro]
Run
