Chubz - Dream Of Sleeping [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]


[Speech: Eric Thomas]
Alright
Now I'ma tell you this story, then I gotta get out of here

[Monologue]
Voice 1: You are only here to do a job
Voice 2: Don't worry, that's all I intend to do
Voice 3: Hello Archie, how are you feeling?
Voice 4: Man, this time I had a dream
Voice 3: You had a dream? What about?
Voice 4: I dreamt I was sleeping


[Speech: Eric Thomas]
There was a young man who, you know, he wanted to make a lot of money
And so
He went to this Guru, right
And he told the Guru
“You know, I wanna be on the same level you’re on."
And so The Guru said
“If you wanna be on the same level I’m on, I’ll meet tomorrow, at the beach, at 4 AM.”


[Verse 1: Chubz]
I have a dream, close my eyes I replay the scene
Similar to millions of others schemes
But in my outro, I hold no bling
So what is time, how will the path to my light define
And will this light blind
And is this light mind, I'm lost
And I'm having a hard time thinking of the place where I hid myself
But this is me, and through all the stressful times I will never wig myself
I am myself
A masterpiece, Michelangelo wouldn't even try to paint this
You ain't this
I believe the words I have to offer people is gifted, Saint Nick
I just want to be my family's hero
The 1 minus 1 that don't come out a zero
The outcast of the group, Piccolo
If you ask what's up point, man I just want to give and go
Hope is something you will never have to hand me
Man I plan to shine with no plan B
I should be someone you plan to see
Cause one day I plan to sleep


[Speech: Eric Thomas]
He’s like
“The beach? I said I wanna make money. I don’t wanna swim.”
Guru said
“If you wanna make money, I’ll meet you tomorrow.”
So the young man got there 4 AM
He all ready to rock n’ roll
Got on a suit
The old man grabs his hand and said
“How bad do you wanna be successful?”
He said
“Real bad.”
He said, “Walk on out in the water.”
When he walks out into the water it goes waist deep
He’s like
“I wanna make money and he got me out here swimming. I didn’t ask to be a lifeguard."


[Verse 1: Chubz]
Yeah
I ain't never been satisfied with my best
Even if I just happen to beat the rest
I'm my own worst enemy, my biggest critic
I'm 0 and 10 against myself and I won't quit it
And I won't stop till my mama live it up
Living large right now she's living like a midget does
I want critics to have the chance to critical us
So we don't have to be on Twitter just for them to mention us
And I won't stop, and I can't stop
I want to shake the game, Michael J. Fox
I want my whole family to know that they're straight
I want to turn our dollar menu lives into gourmet
I want to dry their face, no more dampness
I'm talking to God looking like a mantis
I deserve this, the rest certified trash
Valedictorian, I'm the Neo of my class
My pot's not at the spot that I plot cause I got a lot of shots till I flop to the top
But you better not forgot the tops where I'ma rot unless they come untie my knot
I done did my dirt I'm done cleating
I was born hopeless but looks are deceiving
My BB, my fam, and my mama are the reason
And this is the meaning of Dreaming Of Sleeping


[Speech: Eric Thomas]
So he said, “Come out a little further.”
He walked out a little further
Then he had it right around this area
The shoulder area
Said
"This old man crazy."
Said
“Come on out a little further.”
He came out a little further
It was right at his mouth
My man like
“I’m [not] about to go back in here
This guy out of his mind.”
So the old man said
“I thought you said you wanted to be successful?”
He said
“I do.”
He said
“Walk a little further.”
He came
Dropped his head in
Held him down
Holding him down
Just before my man was about to pass out
He raised him up


[Monologue]
Voice 1: You are only here to do a job
Voice 2: Don't worry, that's all I intend to do
Voice 3: Hello Archie, how are you feeling?
Voice 4: Man, this time I had a dream
Voice 3: You had a dream? What about?
Voice 4: I dreamt I was sleeping


[Verse 3: Chubz]
Yeah
Doing my job, is all I intend
Even if I never ever got promoted
Cause I'ma go hard in a room full of 10, the same way in front of 20,000 eyes wide open
What happens when the letdown was the one chosen
I'm walking in shoes made of ice, on roads frozen
I'm the one with superglue potion
Cause my family's heart was made broken
See
I'm a freak can you tell, in the deep like Adele
I won't ever stop winning cause I'm afraid to fail
Flow so fluent I could use a sail
My family in the whole, none of us could even tell
Them smiling is all I want to gather
I must be Urkel cause my family matters
And I'ma make it happen as soon as I'm inside
Then I'ma rest, right now I'm deprived


[Speech: Eric Thomas]
He said
“I got a question for you.”
He said
“When you were underwater, what did you want to do?”
He said
“I wanted to breathe.”
He told the guy; He said
“When you want to succeed, as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.”
I don't know how many of you all got asthma in here today
But if you ever had an asthma attack before
The only thing you're trying to do
Is get some air
You don't care about no basketball game
You don't care what's on TV
You don't about nobody calling you
You don't about a party
The only thing you care about when you're trying to breath
Is to get some fresh air, that's it
You say you want to be successful
But you don't want it bad
You just kind of want it
And when you get to the point
Where all you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breathe
Then you'll be successful


[Outro]
