Chank Smith - Letter To My Father [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Chank Smith]
You know we been through alot of
Alot of stuff, you know
We don't get, unfortunately, choose where we come from
But
You know

[verse 1: Chank Smith]
Straight up
You can't choose your family
But you can choose your friends
How come it's always your family
That switch you at the end
This one goes out
To my father in Primm
It's hard to get out from under
His shadow, he was so successful
Me? I'm just trying to kick it
Trying to get to L.A
Trying to get lifted
But nobody could trust me
What i'm doing
So I got to prove it to them man
And not ruin
My reputation
And my last name Smith
First name Chank baby
Yo, it's so fucking hard
Especially when your girls blowing
Up your mobile phone
Trying to get you outta your zone
But yo
I'm trying hold my own
At least I plan too
Motherfuckers know I got kids to be a man too
Not yet, but they still in my balls
When they come out
They gonna be like 6 feet tall

[Hook: Chank Smith]
Yo dad you don't like my music
But somehow, you hear this, I just might lose it
Cause this is a part of me
I didn't choose it
Please dad, I wish you could just
Listen to my music (x5)

[Verse 2: Chank Smith]
They say you can't choose your family
But you can choose your friends
Then how come it's always your family
That switch you at the end
I remember how you felt when you threw the spatula
At the back of my head
When I was younger, dad
Yea, it hit my ear
And you went upstairs
You said you was mad
But I knew you was cryin'
Mom told me later
You didn't know it
She said upstairs like
"Why'd I throw it"
You didn't wanna become
What your dad was
You wanted to nip this vicious cycle
In the butt
So worried that that one moment
Scarred my life
But dad, so far my life
Is dope
Yea, i'm doing what I wanna do
Screwing who I wanna screw
And don't worry
Cause everything I do
I can do it cause of you

[Hook]

They say you can't choose your family
But you can choose your friends
Then how come it's always your family
That switch you at the end
Hopefully, when I empty my balls
To a girl
I can show my son the world
I can teach him everything you taught me
And show him
How he outta be
I hope he does the same thing
That I did with you
Like, basically watch me like he recorded me
And I am just a vessel
Passing through some knowledge
Just incase my kid doesn't wanna go to college
Coming through the future like
Scott Mackler
I know you concerned with what you did
With the spatula
But trust me
Just let it go
Just toss it to the side
And let yourself grow
Cause every human being does something wrong
I'm okay
But I know you won't listen to this song

[Hook]
