Spit Syndicate, Illy - Lost In Translation lyrics

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



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

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

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

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 it'self
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

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

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
