A-Roy - Give It Back [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Verse 1)
Inside my bedroom, waking up from the same dream
Hoping this’ll be the day I see the real thing
I yawn and stretch, reach for my cell phone
Thank God that I’m blessed with health and home
But yo I’m kinda vexed, because I feel alone
So I turn my playlist on and bump my favorite songs
Can’t listen to the radio, it’s garbage
No one seems to feel the hip-hop that goes the hardest
Thinking of a master plan to get my shit out
While I got my grub on, but didn’t pig out
Crease my jeans, brush my teeth, get up and get out
Hit the ground running, never willing to sit out
If I ruled the world and everything in it
I’d put my iPod on blast so the whole world could sing with it
No fairy tales, for this young black male, but oh well
I still got a few stories to share, yea

(Chorus)(x2)
They took rap, but I came to give it right back (2x)[but we came to give it right back]
So nod ya head to this funky fresh dope track
We giving you the shit that’s never ever sounding wack
Giving you the best, so gon’ give it right back

(Verse 2)
Long days and longer nights as the saga of life continues
So many hustles on my plate, and more still on the menu
But yo I gotta get it, long as I keep on livin’
I plan to maximize my time before my time is ending
I coulda’ had a 9-5, a wife and some children
Back in ’05, this was the life that I envisioned
But then I caught a whiff of something different
I had some gifts locked up in my spirit, with a whole lot of interest…
To follow, the other point of the fork in the road
Wanna share with the world all that pours out my soul
A rich and famous lifestyle has never been the goal
But I’m tryna’ have thangs like Mike and Pimp in ‘94
Writin’ raps off the top of my dome
As I stroll from class, cross the street to the other side of the road
Living life like it’s golden, I’m holding
The future in the palm of my hand – I’m mic-controlling

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
The last verse is dedicated to the ladies
Who love hard, but still manage to drive they man crazy
I got a plan baby, no need to worry
I don’t pursue this rap music as an avenue for flirting
Don’t wanna hit the road just so I can do you dirty
In the grand scheme, I really hope to make it work
But you gotta trust I’m giving you the best of me
Even when the distance keeps you longing for the rest of me
We’ve invested too much simply to let it flop
And I’ve invested too much up in this hip-hop
I know you’ve “shed so many tears” – 2pac
And I be feeling “things done changed” – Big Pop
But this ain’t the east/west beef from the 90s
You from the east I’m from the west but we united
One couple under the Lord, over the haters
Fuck that doubtin’ shit girl, this world can’t fade us

(Chorus)
