Ded Mic - The New York Dream [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]

Cause New York has the way to make you believe in yourself
It makes you realize that dreams are real in this place
Man i tell you, get lost in the New York dream
And realize that dreams are always as great as they seem

[Verse 1]

I was from a small town, held down
The border of Paris's grind
Bouncing off the ceiling everytime i tried to leave the ground
I used to cast a glance at the city of romance
The feeling was intense up the tower of Eiffel
But nothing, no one, not even that
Would ever ease the pain
No friend, no girl, nothing would match
Or ever understand
That since i embrased the culture man i never felt the same
I found this state of mind that only Hip Hop supplies
Watching breakdancers at La Defense
Like we were in the Bronx
Somehow made me feel like i was a part of this world
Step by step, i learned the ways and got a rep
The city's beauty gave me inspiration to spit a lotta texts
Graffitis all over the place, spreading at pace
If i had seen New York i would've been impressed
Much at night i thought about Hip Hop's metropolis
It's funny how the city that never sleeps be haunting my dreams

[Hook]

Cause New York has the way to make you believe in yourself
It makes you realize that dreams are real in this place
Man i tell you, get lost in the New York dream
And realize that dreams are always as great as they seem


[Verse 2]

Now, back to the country i grew up in, nearly 15
Still seeking for the dream that kept me awake as a Young teen
Spending more time at concerts than i do with my friends
Showing my interest by being every rapper's fan
But when i handshook KRS and hugged The Rugged Man
My love for the big apple land became such a beautiful pain
Starting this day i knew for sure so i achieved my goal
But son please don't leave, sorry Ma' decision is final
I seen the great sky scrapers in Manhattan blocks
Went by all the famous spots
Touring in expensive shops
I seen Times Square and Central Park cruising in a trishaw
I'm getting bored, fuck that show me real New York !
I wanna see Emceein fiends and ghetto-blasters
B-boys in the Streets with skills some real floor masters
In my head i had built such an idealistic place
Would it be possible that all my hopes would go to waste ?

[Hook]

Cause New York has the way to make you believe in yourself
It makes you realize that dreams are real in this place
Man i tell you, get lost in the New York dream
And realize that dreams are always as great as they seem


[Verse 3]

And then, i finally saw it, reallest as can be
The New York Dream...

A neighbourhood filled with ambition
No restriction, i could really feel the passion
9 elements in action
It was no longer fiction, i was finally here
In the flesh, in this place where it all started and got so real
I could chill in this community of love
Culture so deep in my heart
Directly sent from above
Never enough, i flipped a coin
Herc's house or 5Pointz but ended in both joints
Every Hip Hop head wants to come back to the motherland
To cherish it well and stand for what we represent
So New Yorkers, be proud of where you're coming from
Cause you have no idea what the New York Dream can mean to some

[Hook]

Cause New York has the way to make you believe in yourself
It makes you realize that dreams are real in this place
Man i tell you, get lost in the New York dream
And realize that dreams are always as great as they seem


Never underestimate the power of Hip Hop Culture !
