AJ Bank$y - Golden Lining [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: AJ Bank$y]
Right, haha, look:
I'm a...a long way from the honor roll
I dropped a couple songs, maybe y'all will honor those
Cause y'all doubted, I ain't trippin', I ain't pouting, right
Well, me and Apollo 'bout to kill it though

[Hook: Apollo]
Said everything that glitters ain't gold
But while we're on a roll
Know we 'bout to grow, know we 'bout to grow
[x2]


[Verse 1: AJ Bank$y]
Classic after classic I'm still writing my Illmatic
Black Art was a blessing and it wasn't mixed or mastered
What more could you tell us, I'm loving the progression
Peep what Austin started and respect how we've developed
Took a glance back at my old raps
But I been there and I done that
Fun fact: we used to make recordings on a webcam
Free software, a dresser for a mic stand
Any means necessary grindin' for respect man
Then came up and got a better flow
Cut dead weight so I could better float
Cause everybody ain't real dog
Some fake trill, gotta let 'em go
Lessons from Isaiah, told a youngin' just to free his soul
He made that Freshman cover but I'm aiming more to break the mold
Then build it back, I'm tryna be constructive
I'm tryna make a living for the people I grew up with
A dime into a dollar, make 'em emulate the hustle
These the pieces of a kid, just wait 'til I complete the puzzle
Bank$y

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Apollo]
Everything I'm writing is not a masterpiece
Actually I'm just hiding, I need to find my peace
Cause factually we dying, I'm out here really just trying
To make sure I'm not another conviction of the system we've been taught to be accustomed to
I broke free, I grew wings, am I a miracle?
I never learned to fly did that just make me lyrical
Or just another money hungry, fake-great bullshit rappin' in the mirror dude
I don't know but I like to think not
Ten years deep in this music and I'm not hot
Ten years deep and I never take a night off
Working overtime so that I can make some write-offs
Keep on watching world, man my momma gonna ride off
In that 'baby' Bentley darker than that nigga Nighthawk
Lookin' at my dad in that Carrera he gon' fly off
Paid for in cash, you can bet I'll fuckin' sign off

[Hook]

[Outro: AJ Bank$y]
I know you seeing the progression
It's evident in every session
I know these niggas never loved us
Does it look like we been stressin'
I hope you use this as a lesson
Just look at all the time that we invested
Yeah, niggas never loved us, right
Grow!

(1 Corinthians 13:11 recited and talking in foreground)
I'd like to thank y'all for taking this journey with me
It's love all the way around... Redem--
