Cooley Savant - The Emperor ft. Jay RUKAS [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse One: Jay RUKAS]

I took a look around and saw the way cash rules everything
You must be living swell with the 14-k diamond ring
And that's a lifestyle that we want to live in
Images portraying the man buried in his riches
Every day of the week they rock a new tux
Spending big bucks each month must be their lust
So possessing the newest things is a must
And we're all categorized based off our income
Oh I'm sorry like Stevie, cause I don't see all the things that shine
And I wonder can I have it all in my lifetime
Drowning in this regiment without a lifeline
I hope y'all hear me through these hard lines
In my reality there's Modern Family
There's only sorrows from all these different casualties
Actually this framework got us all in agony
They say with all the things money can buy you'll live happily
Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way for some of us
And hearing that is unfathomable to some others
A part of it might just be my pigment color
But, I know the other is the governmental structure
I'm not the only one that folds
I got an open eye and it's surely not closed
For this capital I'll never sell my soul
I just want to know, when will this Emperor get his new clothes?

[Chorus x2]
Now Mr. Mirror on the wall, wall, what do you see?
Is there a kingdom for a kid like me?
If so, I want the gold, the cash and the clothes
How much could I afford if I sold you all my soul?
Now Mr. Genie Man, Genie Man, one question
Is there a god that can grant me this
If so, I want the gold, the cash and the clothes
How much could I afford if I sold you all my soul?
