Andre DeSaint - Told You So [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: André DeSaint]


Yeah, I wonder if everything is going like it's supposed to
I'm hopeful but thinking like a player and a coach too
Never on the sidelines yelling out zones
When I hit that number one
You can tell ‘em I'm home
And we probably ain't that cool if I ain't getting cash with ya
Demanding your respect so address me as mister
I suggest you change your profession ad-libber
You just dreaming about your dreams Inception ass nigga
Man, what I gotta do?
Spell it out for you
I live it how I tell it
Come step into my office
Bitch I'm Steve Carrell’n
I’m all about the paper my team be on the same train
Started out with PayUp! and I'm still playing the same Game
Living life from a reel, this is such a movie
It's dead quiet I just let the instrumental speak
I close my eyes and I can feel the words rushing through me
If nothing last forever, then this music is nothing to me


[Hook: André DeSaint]

Uh, I’m trying to take this shit around the globe
And come right back to where I started
And you can tell them I ain't coming home
Till I get exactly what I wanted

So I moved on from that young shit
My bass knock and my drum kick
Trying to keep my parents proud
Sit back and watch your son spit
Ignoring all advice and everywhere that I am told to go
This that moment when I try not to say that I told you so


[Verse 2: Cherele]

Uh, it's now or never
Found what I'm meant for by putting two together
And I can tell they're not sure of this young Coretta
Like they can't see the fucking light shine between these letters
I'm out the door, tell me how far would you go?
If you know what you knew now
Would you do what's done before?
When ya family's saying no
And ya momma says enroll, back in school
Cause this route just ain't bringing home the dough
Lost control, or so it seemed, was in need of balance beams
Got these bills and these dreams
I PayUp! that's my team
They so opposite of Queen
Never quite what they seem
Been pursuing since a teen
2012 switching themes
Swear to God, yeah, this right here be my oath
Promise to live by my word and forgive the ones who don't
For they know not what they do, and I'm focused on my growth
Now I'm rollin' up stress, this the realest shit I smoked, ah!

[Hook: Cherele]

Tryna take this shit around the globe
And come right back to where I started
And you can tell them I ain’t coming home
Till I get exactly what I wanted

So I moved on from all that young shit
My bass knock my drum kick
Tryna make my parents proud
Come and see how far your girl get
Ignoring all advice and everywhere that I am told to go
This that moment when I try not to say that I told you so


[Hook: André DeSaint]


[Outro: ADE.]

Do you know that moment when bringing your dreams to life becomes more important than getting sleep?
It's that moment when you realized life would become prison if you didn't follow it through
And that anyone that ever tried to tell you that your dream is a false hope is foolish, and no matter what they'll never take that from you
Even when foes and rivals try to get all up in your mental mind so that they can get a shot at your spot, you tell them to fall the fuck back
Even when the woman who brought you into this world - the one person who loved you no matter how bad you fucked up - got cancer in her breasts, you still transferred to that art school in Savannah
And two years later during her last days you was in the hospital writing for those hip-hop blogs, making a name for yourself cause you could never let your dreams turn to Kruegers
Now, I have no qualms with Psalms or any other chapters in the Good Book
But I had a Revelation that pretending to believe in things I don't see is not a good look
When you broke and you hungry and all you got is that dream
Somebody is gonna pay the fuck up
You just gotta be willing to journey into the unknown
It's your dream, don't leave home without it
