EQ - The Interview II [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]
I remember sitting here waiting for dreams to formulate
These days, my dreams'll never let me afford a break
And then when you think that there's nothing left to give
The game calls in, thinking there's something more to take
Not the type to ever give myself a morbid fate
More just your average teenager exploring fate
And every time that a nigga sees a writer's block
Write the fuck around it, meaning grind until I write it off

Sometimes that means writing till your eyelids off
Fall asleep and wake up to applications by Microsoft
Even though I don't always design my words perfect
You can tell by the glow in their eyes they heard purpose

Seems the freshman set a precedent for excellence
That isn't getting recognized by those making the records
Trying to measure up so you be putting yourself second
Because they love a certain sound, so you're trying to take the pressure- but

About to be played in the game I always dreamt of playin'
I never pick a lane, I be in the center playin'
However I need to for whatever instrumental playin'
Trying to make a track out of what was only a mental painting

Cause at one time, it was all a dream
Used to joke with E.K. about hittin' the scene
We could show em how to spit a little, get me a team
Once I reach the one I got, I'mma go get me a dream

I'mma do it all again until I get me some cream
Then probably head off to the shore so I can set me a scene
Cold champagne sitting right below thirty two
People saying 'Damn, you're ill - and I ain't heard of you'

Handin' out my tapes, I'll always have a stack of em
Call my whip the trap because of music that I'm traffickin'
Round all the cities that'll soon be in back of him
Moving so fast that you couldn't keep track of him, naw

But that's a little closer than I am
Every day, I'mma get closer to my plan
There ain't a freshman in the time I've been allotted
That could match up with the rappin' on as many tracks as I've ran

I didn't ask for the pace - I was born with it
Puttin' rappers back in their place, because I'm more in it
I'm talking about invest to the game
Primary example of putting your chest into the game

I'm not a player cause I be interested with the game
And your girl is telling you that I'm incessant with the game, uh

Instead, we can use the present as the verdict
Done with doing things that these bitches can misinterpret
Onto something different, decisions closer to perfect
Cause that's what practice is making, and making this living worth it, uh

[Bridged Outro]
I'm gettin' closer to my dreams, oh
I'm gettin' higher and higher
And I can feel it in my sleep
