DJ Spinna - Rap Shit [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Remember hip-hop?
Do you really?
Do you?

Before this rap shit
Yo I was strugglin, jugglin, hustlin, bubblin, doing what I had to
Before this rap shit
It was by any means getting that cream even if I had to blast you
Before this rap shit
Yo it was me and my brothers and so many others just out to get this chedda baby
Before this rap shit
Yo I was plottin and scammin or rockin a scam whatever made it better baby
Before this rap shit
Yo I had hopes and dreams of publishing schemes of money off of every unit
Before this rap shit
It was just hip-hop and gettin yo pops not every fuckin body doin it
Before this rap shit
There wasn't no word wars or any conferences, but now this shit is like a fuckin circus
Before this rap shit
It was all about game and makin a name but now, what's the fuckin purpose?
Before this rap shit
It wasn't all about crime
Before this rap shit
Yo it was all about rhymes
Before this rap shit
It was about shapin the time, now it ain't about shit, the industry rapin you mind

Put down your mic
You lost your whole goal
You take it too seriously like it's a gamble
You take it too seriously like it's a gamble
Rap is something ya do, hip-hip is something ya live / well let me tell ya
[2x]

Before this rap shit
I was a sucka for love, a sucka for clubs, the only cat I fucked with was thug
Before this rap shit
Niggas was gansta for real and gangsta for life but now niggas is gangstas with deals
Before this rap shit
Had something to do with movin ya crew this music was all for you
Before this rap shit
Niggas was fightin for you, weren't liking it too, and now it's like, "Who's writin for you?"
Before this rap shit
Life wasn't fare but niggas ain't care, man, whatever kept ya hands in the air
Before this rap shit
Dog, it was all about vibe what niggas was live, whatever helped the music survive
Before this rap shit
It wasn't was he seem it was what was he sound like, and fuck him if he didn't sound right
And yo this rap shit
It's straight driving me nuts, studio ganstas and video sluts fuckin me up
Man, this rap shit

Put down your mic
You lost your whole goal
You take it too seriously like it's a gamble
You take it too seriously like it's a gamble
Rap is something ya do, hip-hip is something ya live / well let me tell ya
[2x]

After this rap shit
Yo I'ma go the fuck home and move the fuck on and watch my newest youngin be born
After this rap shit
Yo I'ma count my dough, stack my flow, get money so my kids can grow
After this rap shit
I'ma retire a legend and chill with my brethren sit on corner smokin my medicine
After this rap shit
All of ya'll can suck my ass, and buy all of my full albums but don't touch my cash
After this rap shit
When I'm done and got nothing to write about I'ma a leave y'all fake thug niggas to fight it out
This rap shit

Put down your mic
You lost your whole goal
You take it too seriously like it's a gamble
Put down your mic
You lost your whole goal
You take it too seriously like it's a gamble
Put down your mic
You lost your whole goal
You take it too seriously like it's a gamble
You take it too seriously like it's a gamble
Rap is something ya do, hip-hip is something ya live

You take it too seriously like it's a gamble

Record companies out there throw rap on the wall -- know very little about -- and figure what sticks is it and what don't, don't be it
