Def Manic - How Can I [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]

[Verse 1]

Finally emerged up from the womb, white room filled with lights
Had to hold him tight, couldn’t see the doctors clothes right
Saw the world for what it was
10 years later and I saw my flaws
Past 15 I was a follower
Kept my own no borrower
Got into a lil bit of fights, beat up and beaten
Got back onto my feet
Realized I had to be an individual, and not a criminal
16 started this thing called rap
Sat with my laptop recorded some tracks
In the basement where the darkness at
Understood had to go the way
Even doing shows for small pay
Built some buzz and learnt to do what Jay Z does
This is it, gotta make it now or never
Had to leave the pussy behind whenever
Finally toured with B.o.B.,
Never knew how sweet this life could be
Got airplay on the radio for weeks
Shit got me feeling excited and weak
Kept working hard, school interrupted
Broke up, left my girl disrupted
She didn’t know what the fuck to do
Ain't no excuse being made for you
Just kept quite and focused
Now I'm causing all the commotion
And you just wanna see my emotion so I say, How Can I

[Verse 2]

Then got a show with Tribe Called Quest
Shit got me feeling like the best
I had to leave, I couldn’t believe
That I was up with so many people
Breathing and vibing all so equal
Every color that the eye could see
Worked on a deal how could it be
This is what I really had to do
Stopped right there and I saw you
Starring at me so truthful
Got chocked up for a minute
Came back, fuck that, then went back to winning
Hey Young World just keep on sinning
Nobodies really stopping you
When you overdue
At this point I just had to stay in my lil apartment
Worked hard and made money for college
Used it up on this music thing
Stayed away from rap bitches who just keep on looking for wedding rings
Models never who never ever get paid
Drink shots for the times I been laid
Fuck hangovers not enough smiles
Cut this bitch off speed dial
Just kept quite for a lil while
Few years later got a money pile
Now im living in my own world
With melodies and no homeroom
Never really fucked with school and that
Just graduated real rich in fact
So, So, So, How Can I

[Hook]
