Vel 9 - Essence [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
Im not sure why, it took me so long
To pick up this pen, and write you this song
I knew it wouldn't be long before you came to visit me, again..
Now I shall fight with my pen..

[Verse:1]
Its 5 in the morning but he already knew that
So he disables his alarm once 4:42 passed..
Hes been awake for a minute, no place for a gimmick
Just natural motivational living with the space he was given, its..
Easy when its part a necessity, essential before desire
Mighty important and vital
Be the only subjects he touching on before quarter final
Taking writing classes on weekends just to score a high note
And protect his thesis, statement
Believe in all of his achievements, greatness
Is something he cannot seem to conceive its blatant
Ive seen this, break him
He bleeds till, vacant
Yet be so, patient
And more than capable of working under pressure
Taking on more units than any regular student mentions
Its a blessing depression didn't upset his credits
Juggling between the idea of staying an artist or becoming a medic
Forget it like his ex lady and baby he never had
But its ok as long as its raining he'll take a bath
And let he water run to his neck
Worries of being educated and holding a check
Required repetitive behavior like he fucking with meth
But somehow kept it drug free
Sometimes consuming some weed but it ain't nothing
Ima say its fate, his scars are stories of stones thrown
In a glass house yet he doesnt break
The type of shit that destroys a regular man he doesnt suffocate
And when it comes to pain its too numb to explain
Conformably numb, they say people are strange
Rocking your pink floyd tee at the first meet of exchange
Took the metro for our destinations to meet on a plane
I know we crashed but parallel tracks wouldn't be able to meet anyway
You taught me to be calm and showed me ways to give a fuck
And suddenly all i could feel was love, this shit was real for us
Yet the same questions remains
What do you perceive in this world that you seek?
Is your reason for living a meaning of one that you speak?
And how much education does one really need to thrive
In a ignorant world full of money and greed?
But baby boy, dont let the odds haunt you
Offer your odd conscious
Raw and they all want you
It takes pressure to make a diamond
And with the same pressure
Youre creating your time period without the sake of time in..

[Hook] X2
Im not sure why, it took me so long
