Alex Schechter - Rich Man [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Done with all the bullshit
I close my eyes and think
About how I got here
When I was down
And when I was on the brink
I had no cash
No beats
My music was all trash
And I could barely eat
It was about the money
The fame
The lights
My name
On posters, on flyers
A new stage name
I wanted a goldstar
With a platinum frame
Two chicks
Both blondes
Both good looking
People coming to my shows
Holding me down
And things would be finally clicking
Things would be easy
And I would finally get bookings
And cutout newspaper clippings
And I could finally attach
Not even breaking through
Just having the surface scratched


[Verse 2]
I call up Ben
And I’m like
Damn, things are finally changing
Realized what this is all about
And why people are always changing
Money is power
And power is fame
Don’t let me become that
Don’t let me change
No no don't let me change
I just want to be me
Travel the world
See new things
Maybe live a year abroad
Spend it with a girl who I really love
I don’t need materials
I don’t need possessions
And all that other shit
All that useless shit
When I’ve got my homies
Then I can deal with it



[Verse 3]
Eyes open
In a new world
New people
With a new girl
10 songs on a mixtape
All for free
Things taking shape
Trying to create a buzz
And be who I am
Not really care because
I never give a damn
No no, I never give a damn
About the haters
Who want to hate
And only bring me down
And don’t appreciate
If you can feel that
Then I respect you
This shit is hard to do
Ya it’s hard to do
Had to look in the mirror
And ask myself like who are you
Didn’t take too long
Didn’t take too long
No it didn’t take too long
