Lost In Translation

[Verse 1: Nick Lupi]
Let it be known
Some sins you can never atone
Gotta settle for together alone
Better the devil you know than the devil you don't
But I never kept my enemies close, nah
Too much fire in the belly
Eyes wide to the lies on the telly
I ain't buying what you're tryna sell me
But I'm ready to ride, come and get me
I'm a product of the discontent, a sworn enemy
And I ain't down with your border protection?
You turn your back on war refugees
Fuck y'all and your short memories
Every promise made come with a catch
Just as honour don't come with a badge
And they won't look you in your face, rather one in the back
Try and put you in your place we ain't running with that.

[Hook:]
Stuck in transit, lost in translation
Waiting for somebody to take you home
Have a place to make your own
Gotta remember you ain't alone
We all stuck in transit, lost in translation
But I been figuring lately
No, I don't know where this road will take me
But that's alright, that's alright, that's alright.

[Verse 2: Jimmy Nice]
Stick my hand out of the window, I feel the tickle
Scent of that cut grass remind me when I was little
I remember cutting class so I could scope best spots for KC?
Still I respect my mother for the way that she
Let me do anything that I wanted but wasting time
???
The train never saw that train coming on the same line
Another team slaying down mainline
Now these detectives ransacking their Facebooks
Gotta see the innocent kids??
Crooked jacks thinking they got a case to push
Placed your foot on the tracks??
Yellow axe sweeping down my empty Hendrix bottle
As they blew out them old flames that kept me in trouble
Take money, find love, lose never, may the heavens open up for you
My legacy is untouchable.

[Hook:]

[Verse 3:]
Man, I been trying to draw a line in the sand
Yeah, I been trying, I been failing, trying to understand
At what point sipping that Kool-Aid is denying your stance
So I sip it and spit it back
This world ain't designed to plans where dreamers advance
You can take that to the bank
You can let it manifest itself and apathy and angst
You could, but then you're right, you could blame it on the man
But you see how far that gets you when the course you're running is rampant?
'Cos I swear feeling helpless never helps, man
You say it back, even if what's said is never felt
You want change, my brother?
The first step is within yourself
The shit, it don't finish 'til the curtains fell
See, diggers didn't die so we could be told lies
Or sit idly by while our lives decided from outta sight
So in the name of the truth, we stand, we fight
They can outlive us all, our words never die.

[Hook:] x2

Stuck in transit, even though I'm lost, it'll be alright
Said it'll be alright
Stuck in transit, even though I'm lost, it'll be alright
Said it'll be alright.
