Cush Wallace - J.O.E. (OD Tribute) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Intro: Cush Wallace
Yeah! This song is dedicated to a dear childhood friend of mine that lost his life on June 4 2012
Rest in paradise homie, yeah

Verse 1: Cush Wallace

Take nothing for granted, everydays a blessing
Never thought I'd rap now they say I'm destined
To blow up like the world trade
But I used to get played because how my curls waved
Now the girls wave every chance they get
Because I'm talented and I'm handsome bitch
Now I bet you feel sick for playing me off
Niggas only get a verse for paying me off, nigga
Ain't it crazy how I used to be ashamed
But it's hard to stand out when you choose to be the same
So I broke the curse off
Did my own thing now they hope the worst for me
Like I said, now you can't get a verse for free
Don't feel the pain no more because the hurts forseen
I was fourteen studying rap
Saying fuck geography or studying maps
Now the hate is so loud unless I'm on the airplane
Can't hear none of them, All my teachers hairbrained
Three girls and each is fair game
On their knees heads bowed like the preacher still praying
Try and change the game like an audible
Moneys everything if you was brought up poor
When I played ball I was hard to guard
Girls put it in reverse like they parking cars
Few A and Rs saying that my sound ain't right yet
But fuck that, they ain't the ones that write checks
And my dad don't believe in a rap career
So I gotta dig deeper than a pap smear
Six kids but we grew up so fast
Forget the bad times, I always knew it pass
I was taught if I do it, do it with class
Well, You ain't never seen it like this
Cush Wallace over juicy, this is genius
Cash keep the Glock by the penis, Jesus!

Hook: Cush Wallace
Show mercy for pain others cause
And on the soul that took one of ours
Damn right I like the life I live
When it goes negative to positive
Man its all, its all good
And if you don't know, now you know nigga

Yeah

Verse 2: Cush Wallace

I lost a childhood friend, no use in getting upset
The nigga that shot him gotta live with regret
For taking the person showed us give all you got
Even if you got a little bit left
Because life's too short not to sacrafice
Man I hope we meet again in the afterlife
Now I reminisce all my summers at the boys & girls club, damn
Thats where I met my first crush
I was shy but she was your age
You introduced us and it was arranged
Special shout to Britney J and her cousin too
Heard you got a boyfriend, I know he loves you
And I'm just one of many lives you touched O
As a man of God, preaching the gospel
Victorious for beating the odds
Now you upstairs, eating with God, uh
I hold my tears, now you're in a better place
Amen, Like I just said grace
Left a weird taste in my mouth, now your no longer here
You helped fight battles, I was no longer scared
Of niggas tryna press me up at the school
I told them niggas, let's meet up after school
Then you came with the football team
Then my sister came and made a scene
After that nobody wanted to fight
But I was so embarrassed, I wanted to fight, God!

Hook:
Show mercy for pain others cause and on the soul
That took one of ours
Damn right I like the life I live
When it goes negative to positive
Man its all, its all good
And if you don't know, now you know nigga
