D. Ciano - Falling [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Denzel Washington]
I’m sure people have told you, to make sure you have something to fall back on
Make sure you have something to fall back on honey..
But I never understood that concept, having something to fall back on. If I’m going to fall, I don’t want to fall back on anything, except my faith, I wanna fall forward..
I figure this way at least I’ll see what I’m going to hit
Fall Forward

[Sample]
I don’t know about my dreams, I don’t know about my dreaming anymore..
All that I know is

[Verse 1: D. Ciano]
D. Ciano in Savannah's like Lebron out in Cleveland
I had to leave to be someone my city can believe in
I refuse to be another youngin' out here dreaming
I push it like Salt-n-Peppa, but here for more than a Season
Relevance is the reason, longevity's my fuel
And the process gets me heated, but my fans keep me cool
With or without a monarchy, my plan is to rule
And a back up plan is the reason that I'm in school
Seems cool, but some can't seem to understand me
Such as my peers, my friends, and all my Family
And Music is my way out, I don't have a Plan B
So why work for a college degree, when I want a Grammy
It can't be, too far from where I'm at
I worked too hard to stay in back
And I'm a star and that's a fact
No need to say I'm back, because I never left
And this food for thought shows I'm a better chef
But better yet

[Chorus]
I don’t know about my dreams, I don’t know about my dreaming anymore..
All that I know is, I'm Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling
Might as well Fall in

[Denzel Washington Talking]
Thomas Edison conducted 1,000 failed experiments
Did you know that? I didn’t know that
Because the 1,001st was the lightbulb
Fall Forward

[Verse 2: D. Ciano]
Taking classes for granted cause I'm way too advanced
And I have questions that can't be answered by raising my hand
No bowl of cereal when I say I've been raising my brand
Reaching for clout, deep in the south, without.. making a dance
But what now? should I craft singles just to get cheese?
Or should I make the good music that the youth needs?
Correcting errors from my era like I proofread
Cause I'm too clever my endeavors are what fuel me
I'm tryna measure success but wheres the right ruler
Can someone from a dark past have a bright future?
I'm just a product of the streets who put my heart into rap
Who was smart enough to get the cheese and not get caught in the trap
Just take a listen you'll see art in my rap
And listen forward I'll have you falling right back
I was disguised as the norm to form your referral
Went from cyphers in dorms to now taking over the world

[Chorus]
I don’t know about my dreams, I don’t know about my dreaming anymore..
All that I know is, I'm Falling, Falling, Falling, Falling
Might as well Fall in

[Denzel Washington Talking]
Reggie Jackson struck out 2600 times in his career
The most in the history of baseball
But you don’t hear about the strike outs, people remember the home runs
Fall Forward

[Verse 3: D. Ciano]
Mixed emotions on right or wrong, write a paper, write a song
Living up to the hype but ain't nothing like when my mic is on
Like when I see em listening whenever I perform
No longer Clark or in the dark cause now the lights are on
And since a dream like this isn't for certain
Society only respects a student unless I'm working
Figured I'd work 4 years for my bachelors
Just cause my ancestors worked 400 for their masters
Then I went casper, but I was far from friendly
D' Evil was out to get me, thank god that heaven sent me
I was tired of being broke and no job could ever fix me
Working hard but still proud like Oscar for every Penny
Living in new beginnings yet steady trying to make ends
It's hard in this real life filled with fake friends
So I go in, just set the date and set the bets
Until I reach my highest peak I don't think I can ever rest

[Outro: Denzel Washington]
So the question is, what are you going to do with what you have?
I’m not talking about how much you have
Some of you are business majors, some of you are theologians, nurses, sociologists
Some of you have money, some of you have patience, some of you have kindness
Some of you have love, some of you have the gift long suffering
Whatever it is, whatever your gift is
What are you going to do with what you have?
