Davis Absolute - Hometown [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook: Mogli The Iceburg & Davis Absolute]
And you know we puttin' on for the hometown
Felt the struggle in them days
Never thought that makin' moves will get me paid
Pave the way
With the whole town
Now these people say we's good
'Bout some years ago they said we never could
Puttin' on for the hometown
Felt the struggle in them days
Never thought that makin' moves will get me paid
Pave the way
With the whole town
Ooh, puttin' on for my hometown

[Verse 1: Mogli The Iceburg]
Let me take you back in time to like 2008
Bumpin' Soulja Boy and rockin' [?] 8's
Gucci Mane and Wayne were our speakers and were always speakin' 'bout these passin' and gainin' weight
And we was just some kids and we would anyway
Looking back from now it was pretty fortunate that we never got to blow up
Had to live some life so we could grow up
Had to do some shows were we would blasphemy, people came to show up
To humble us with ego started playin' man
Eventhough we rappin' for the Saviour some just see the success
Got some girls from back home sending scandalous texts
Because they see me as a rapper with a presumptive image
Still partyin' to my beats but they don't listen to the lyrics
And it killed me when I realised that I compromised
Given to my flesh and influenced these guys to something other than my Christ
I'm only human but you know I'm tryna hold it down
Yeah, yeah

[Hook: Davis Absolute & Mogli the Iceburg]

Puttin' on for the hometown
We felt the struggle in them days
Never thought that makin' moves will get me paid

Yeah, puttin' on for my hometown
Ahh

[Verse 2: Davis Absolute]
Let me take you back to 2003
Picture me
Rappin' about a life that I've never seen
Sippin' fictional elixir, I was addicted to spittin'
But every rhythm that I was pennin' never hit so I figured
That I would be like them
And just live a life of pretend
I could do and say what I wanted
And they never knew what I didn't
And then I said the wrong name and they showed up
Black guy, baptized in my own blood
Spittin' out my own blood
Why they follow me home
Tinted windows no headlights on, why they whippin' it slow
Hot as ever in this city but I'm chilled to the bone
Contemplating like "will I make it home, maybe I won't"
Around the same time
I got sin outta state
But God is great
Fast forward to 2008
And after that I kept rappin' for a minute
But God started showing me something different
Man we
