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 buyin' 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 steez
You turn your back on war refugees
Fuck y'all and your short memories, uh
Every promise may come with a catch
Just as honour don't come with a badge, uh-uh
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
Fuck that

[Chorus: Illy, Nick Lupi & Jimmy Nice]
Stuck in transit, lost in translation
Waitin' for somebody to take you home
And 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'll take me
But that's all right, that's all right, that's all right

[Verse 2: Jimmy Nice]
Stick my hand out of the window, I feel the tingle
Scent of the cut grass remind me when I was little
'Member 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 waste time
"What a Waste" read the pap's headline (uh)
Ontre never saw that train coming on the same line
Another teen slain down mainline
Now these detectives ransacking they Facebooks
Y'all don't see that innocent kids just got they mate took?
Crooked jacks thinkin' they got a case to push
Place your foot on the tracks y'all would be way shook ([?] fuckin' shook)
Yellow wax drippin' down my empty Hendrix bottle
As I 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's untouchable, [?]

[Chorus: Illy, Nick Lupi & Jimmy Nice]
Stuck in transit, lost in translation
Waitin' for somebody to take you home
And 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'll take me
But that's all right, that's all right, that's all right

[Verse 3: Illy]
Man, I been tryna draw a line in the sand
Yeah, I been tryin', I been failin', tryin' to understand
At what point sippin' that Kool-Aid's 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, you're within right, you could blame it on the man
But just see how far that gets you when the course you're on is ran?
'Cause I swear feeling helpless never helps
Man, you say it back, and even if what's said is never felt
You want change, my brother? First step's within yourself
The shit, it don't finish till 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, let's go

[Chorus: Illy, Nick Lupi & Jimmy Nice]
Stuck in transit, lost in translation
Waitin' for somebody to take you home
And 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'll take me
But that's all right, that's all right, that's all right
Stuck in transit, lost in translation
Waitin' for somebody to take you home
And 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'll take me
But that's all right, that's all right, that's all right

[Outro: [?]]
Stuck in transit
Even though I'm lost
It'll be all right
Said it'll be all right
Stuck in transit
Even though I'm lost
It'll be all right
Said it'll be all right
