Torae - Panorama [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]:
Bull rhythm
Raw livin'
Came up hard with no pot I could piss in
Came up smart with no pot in my system
At the beginning, then I went in
I asked moms about pops, why he missin'
I asked about the crack viles in the kitchen
Before I knew being an addict was addiction
Then it kicked in, then I pitched in
That was when the classmates used to diss then
What happened to your eye? They never listened
They never wanted to know in the instance
You wake up out of your sleep half of your vision
Nigga I just couldn't see shit
Used to feel like I was never gon' be shit
Patch on my eye, I couldn't be Rick
You wanna hear T-Pain can you believe it?
My outlet was the music
Was either that or hoop dreams was the cool shit
I remember video music Box was the for new shit
Reading the back of the flap to see who produced it
Used to write raps on scraps like I could do this
We used to scrap those raps like, "Are you foolish?"
You ever heard of Rakim, Kane, Cool Chip?
Well maybe not the last, them other two...shit
You better find you a gig
You never gon' make it happen how they rappin' my nig
That was fuel to the fire that they light in the kid
That's why I chose to inspire and enlighten the kids
I was moved even higher by the writing of B.I.G
Before that was Illmatic every night in the crib
Tribe Called Quest, the Gang Starr, too many to list
So when I get to work with Preme man it's really a gift
When I get to work with Pete man it's really the shit
And new legends, 9th Wonder, Khrysis, and Fatin
And everybody on the album that decided to pitch in
Marco you my brother till they bury my skin
Large Pro you a legend, don't know where to begin
Buckwild, Diamond, Diggin' In The Crates to the end
And my nigga Eric G., you remembering when
You first hit me on Myspace, tryin' to be friends?
Told you, you was the truth way back then
Want 7 for the soul, now salute that man
It's an army over here, y'all recruit that man
Come up on a ill sample go and loop that man
Really been the issues and journey since it began
Couldn't tell you where I'm headed, how to get there fam
But if you in it for the ride put your seat back then
Ayo 'Tin put the beat back in
