Thi'sl - We Blind [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1 – Thi'sl]
Them boys rolled up on him with that sawed off
They hit him, now his body gettin' hauled off
Now the whole hood cryin', we all lost
Tryna prove that we G's, but this is what it cost?
A trail of mommas left with tears in they eyes
Another bloody body from a homicide
Have you ever seen a baby, the look in her eyes
When you tell her that her daddy dead and gone, he died?
And to the newspapers he's another number
He's number 79 of a bloody summer
The way it's all designed, it's meant to take us under
But we can't see it though because we Stevie Wonder, we blind

[Hook – Brian Owens]
Help us to see
We're so blind (we are we are we're so blind)
Help us be free
From our old ways (we are we are we're so blind)

[Verse 2 – Thi'sl]
I know what it's like to have to make a way out of nothing
See they just turned off the lights today, we gotta do something
And the gas people comin' tomorrow
To feel that anger building looking at your mom
You hurt, because you too young to get a job
But your homie got a gun and he down to rob
Or you could flip a pack, seem like problem solved
But that's gon' open up the door to bigger probs
You see, we just walkin' out our fathers' sin
Cause they ran and didn't stand to be men
So in return we learn to be our brother's keeper
Our aunty's, sister's, cousin's and our mother's keeper
But why you think the hood dawg is called a trap? (So who the mice?)
Cause it's designed to do that (Do what? Keep us trapped)
The whole thing's to take us under
But we can't see it though because we Stevie Wonder, we blind

[Hook – Brian Owens]
Help us to see
We're so blind (we are we are we're so blind)
Help us be free
From our old ways (we are we are we're so blind)

[Verse 3 – Thi'sl]
I know what it's like to lose the homies, shed tears for the homies
Any given second, do years for the homies
Can't believe that I'mma spend my years without the homie
Now I'm looking down on him like "I'ma ride for you homie"
Can't look at his mother cause she's so broken now
Everything over and we start smoking
And we start drinking cause that's how we copin'
Now we ridin' down they block with mini-van doors open
Bruh, I know that lie they fed you
Cause they fed me the same thing, that's why I'm here to testify
Cause I know the pain to see your homie merked
You wanna kill the whole world, I walked in that rain
It make it hard to see that it's wrong
We killin' over blocks that we would never own
The whole thing's designed just to take us under
But we can't see it though because we Stevie Wonder, we blind

[Hook – Brian Owens]
Help us to see
We're so blind (we are we are we're so blind)
Help us be free
From our old ways (we are we are we're so blind)

[Outro – Brian Owens]
Open up our eyes
Free us from the chains of our own sight
Open up our eyes, we're so blind
Help us see the light
We're so blind
Open up our eyes
