Текст песни The Root (Rashaann) с переводом

Now it was just the average night, I’m tryna find some inspiration

And I got the soundtrack to every situation

Got my shit on shuffle on my night time playlist

And when this song came on it took to the place when

I was so eager just to satisfy my cravings

After breaking up, after years of relations

So now girl I brought you right back to my place and

Funny how music can take you back to situations

The song was Sizzla, «Just One of Those Days»

Not to be confused with Eraa, '25/8'

Laying in my bed, just talking while the song played

Skipping scenes in my mind to the part I get laid

And I heard some stories bout you

Right hand told me he can surely vouch for

How you do what you do, so you bout it

Let’s test the theory girl, I wanna see the outcome

Now we touching, I’m kissing all on your body

They’ll hear everything if we continue in silence

Turn up the music, the walls thin in this apartment

Now you free babygirl, you can really just be as loud as

You wanna be, but I’m holding back cause I ain’t feeling this

All day anticipation, now it’s different

I can’t escape from my demeanor as a gentlemen

Looking in your eyes and all I see is innocence

In my mind I’m just thinking that you on go

On top of the fact that some would say that you a hoe

That ain’t really my speed, I won’t feed into the jokes

But now I see that you really just don’t know how to say «no»

So here is just a test of my character

Saying I’m pure-hearted, well nigga back it up

I stopped the scene, I had to intervene

I’m taking advantage of you, that’s really how it seems

Maybe that’s not the case but I just left it

Couldn’t be that desperate

Now you laying on my chest and sleeping good, I’m up reflecting

Staring at the ceiling overthinking so excessive

Wonder if someone from your past was aggressive being selfish

Now weeks passed, it seems that it’s looking

What we had would be bad if I had’ve took it

Hate jumping to conclusions but I hear you taking trips

Constantly to the clinic, man I think I dodged a bullet

Shit crazy ain’t it?

But you know we just gon' move on to the second verse

Verse 2 right here, listen

Glad I ain’t let my selfishness get the best of me

‘Specially when we talking what I love sexually

Putting what I want from you above your feelings definitely

Would have me looking back like «damn nigga that was less of me»

Now we can take a look at this on a bigger scale

Ain’t tryna say it’s something wrong with looking out for self

But it turns detrimental, other people get resentful

When you willing to get sinful just for you to go excel

Cause niggas’ll kill for what they want

Shit’ll get real for what they want

So please don’t you ever get caught

Up in believing that you really got support

From the ones you call your friends, motherfuckers play pretend

Now I ain’t tryna say everybody you should be against

But you’ll be surprised, shit can cause some confusion

Some real, some revealed to just be an illusion

And I learned the hard way

Thought if I love hard, they’d never cross me

Gave so many chances, I’m exhausted

I’m glad I kept my heart, I almost lost it

They talk about the root of evil, why the world so crooked

I always hear one of three: money, greed, or pussy

I see, but one thing that you’re overlooking

Is the cause of the other three and ain’t no way to cure it

See that pussy is powerful, that’s one thing I gotta know

Niggas showed true colors, tryna see bout what I was on

Like nigga do you know how many girls you can find?

Any place, any time? But you craving for mine

Damn, and I get we need money for survival

Ironic how that shit’ll have us feeling homicidal

Breaking trust from different angles, everybody feeling spiteful

But it’s good cause you splurging, it don’t matter what the price is

And I may disagree, but I ain’t mad at your decisions

Only thing that kills me is how people treat you different

Now I’m notable? Nah keep being indifferent

When I was building up, you wasn’t even there to witness

And it’s crazy isn’t it?

Education, church, and even sex is business

Even love comes with a price, and if there comes an ending

Divorce settlements can lead you to some riches

Now moving on to what we call greed

What we call taking way more than we need

Even worse that we would do anything

Even at the expense of your own regime

Now when I say this just know I don’t mean

No offense, but it kind of lacks sincerity

On your road to heaven see you doing good deeds

So it’s really for yourself if you ask me

It raise my eyebrows when I hear people talking

About doing good just to affect their karma

Clearly it was only for rewards and the honor

So for no return would that helping hand offer?

And I’m a child of God, but it opened my eyes

Met a few people and it had me surprised

Showed they had a pure heart and was naturally kind

Turned out to be athiests, no belief in a God

The point I’m tryna make is no rewards afterlife

So if we ain’t believe would we strive to live right?

Would it still be important, for us to keep our morals?

Or will they get distorted, without God as our light?

They talk about the root of evil, why the world so crooked

I always hear one of three: money, greed, or pussy

But one can exist without the other two choices

Underneath all three is what you’re overlooking

It’s called selfishness
