Andre DeSaint - On My Own [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[VERSE 1]

Yeah, uh..
Okay I'm 'bout to make it happen yeah I'm trying something new today
Wish I could predict what's on my path but, who's to say?
Don't nobody owe me shit… I know I got dues to pay
Californication; quoting everything that Moody say
First thing in the morning all I think about is making moves
Been through hell and back; hella thankful I can make it through
All I hear them rapping 'bout is shit we're not relating to
So I got this whole new world that I can take them to
Learned a lot from OG's; shit that made me wake up
Everything's a learning tool; lessons you can take up
Close the door behind you and keep checking that it stays shut
Always say what's on your mind.. never take a pay cut
Yesterday I threw my last penny in a wishing well
I should work for Pitchfork 'bout to give these critics hell
Inking out these verses for a story I can live and tell
Praying that I see the day that I'm the one they ship and sell

[HOOK]

I can do it on my own I can do it by myself
I never needed a soul I never needed your help
See it's always something new even when you think it's planned out
Winning never feels the same when you take a hand out
So I got it
Yeah I got it
I got it
Yeah I got it

[VERSE 2]

I know I won't be here forever while I am I'm trying to rhyme a bit
Crewneck sweater on keep all that designer shit
Talking all that money but, they ain't even kinda rich
Never comfy where I'm at cause I know where I'm tryna get
Promises; made them to my fam and I'mma keep those
Gaining fans and it's getting crazier with each show
Life is getting planned out in beast mode
Take the scenic route; roll the windows down and creep slow
Cause we gon' see it all yeah we gon' see it all
I'll be moving for a while don't wait up for me to call
You see I'm just trying to make it and I wish you understood
And I'm telling you if I could take you with me then I would
But sometimes you gotta do exactly what they say you can't do
Everything I want is something they can never hand you
So that's got me dreaming bigger than I ever planned to
You might think I'm crazy but, please don't ever wake me up
