Cee of R.E.A.L Music - Found My Calling (XIV) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
"...So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow
I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream
I have a dream that one day, this nation will rise up
And live out the true meaning of its creed."

[Verse 1]
Started back in '08, don't know why I did it though
Probably just for fun and shit, nigga nothing serio
14 year-old kid, instrumentals through the sterio
Headset microphone, quality was terrible
Christmas got a real mic, dropped a tape the next week
Writing every day and night just to get my head free
Took my tape to school and nobody would give a listen
'Cept my nigga Marco but he was there since the beginning
Felt the need to improve so I started writing new shit
Had another tape a month later nigga true shit
Who Fresher Than Cee, Da Flood 1 & 2
Did it all by myself, didn't even have a crew
By the time I had next I had my niggas on it with me
Rocked the talent show had niggas saying "You the shit Cee!"
Now I'm chasing dreams, tank on opposite of empty
And anyone who's tryna stop it, tell them come and get me

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
On the up and up but that was only the beginning
Changed my style up a bit because I wanted to be different
Summer of '11, never rested, felt like I was gifted
"Sorry I can't make it to that party" focus shifted
Locked me in my room writing verses all summer
Making something great for ya'll to hear is all I really wanted
Never lessing on the effort, I gave it over 100
So like Nike in the past tense I can say I done it
And I won it and I'm gonna do it even better next time
Really I'll turn everyone to Ripley with my next rhymes
Strong arm bars so I never need to flex mine
Hating on the crew you need to stop it like a red sign
It's just a warning, guarantee we blowing up soon
2012 is ours we can take it if we want to
Ha, and this is just scratching the surface
Till we get up out the underground and make it all worth it
