Gerald Walker - Follow Through [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]

All they see is the love, but they don't see these niggas hating
They see the bottles pop in the club
But never seen the times when i was patient
They didn't see the team who gave me that nudge
When I didn't think that I could make it
Now they see me rising up and my buzz
And it's so important that you niggas don't mistake it
Boy cause now they see me headlining my own tours
But never seen the times when I boo'ed dawg
They let me in when they see a nigga face now
But at first it was like ' who are you dawg'? move dawg...
I played it down
Shout out to the homes that stayed around
Now I'm traveling the world in first class
But they didn't see when I was riding that Greyhound
Or that Bolt Bus and that Mega too (Megabus)
Touring Minnesota the weather was -2 degrees outside
But still nothing better to do
The whole process just made a nigga better, my dude
And I ain't better than who?
My nigga stop it!
They ain't see when me and Mo was talking and the topic
Was me letting the pen go and drop it
And that's the very reason, nigga, now that I profit, baby

[Chorus] (Vocals: Gerald Walker & The Walker Family)

Sometimes you gotta follow through
Don't let this game swallow you
Sometimes you gotta follow through
Don't let this game swallow you
What's the point if you ain't got no follow through
Follow through

[Verse 2]

Now they see me being a boss
They didn't me working in retail
They didn't see me taking that loss
Cause they only care when you prevail
Only see me now that I floss
And ride around with the baddest female
They didn't see me stuck at that crossroad
When nobody would return my emails
I had to figure it out
I had to reconfigure my route
Cause listen nobody was hearing me out
I had to switch a few gears till they saw a nigga clear
And I appreciate it after spending years in a drought
And I stayed cool and I broke rules
Paid dues, stayed away from these fake fools
Little chubby nigga finally got lean on em'
But they didn't see the time spent in that weight room
Or that break room
At that 9 to 5, eating TV dinners for lunch
Man, I thank God I ain't living that life no more
And that's the very reason I stunt
Cause before my schedule was so jam packed
Many nights I was stuck at home
But we never let the mother-fucking dream die
And that's the very reason I'm on, baby I'm gone

[Chorus] (Vocals: Gerald Walker & The Walker Family)

Sometimes you gotta follow through
Don't let this game swallow you
Sometimes you gotta follow through
Don't let this game swallow you
What's the point if you ain't got no follow through
Follow through
