Gopal - The Story So Far (Mockingbird Remix) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Like
Lemme take it back to 97, the year that most of this started
Grew up in Barnet, North London where my heart is
Man wanna know why I'm heartless
Grew up in the worst way, couldn’t have cake on my birthday
Yeah we couldn't afford the simplest things, we all can rap
The difference is, I work so hard
Cah I need to blow, I know pressure

I know pain, I know real life struggle, been living it everyday
And ask me bout the time I nearly died in a car crash
Outside my primary school when I was just age 11
And the doctors said that I wouldn't ever make it, but I
Came back from the jaws of death
Spoke to god, who said I’m born to reach greatness

See my dad had to duck from the feds cah the poor guy couldn't get his visa
One day they came home, they took him
Then they put him in jail and then they wouldn't let him meet us
It was around this time that we found out my grandad was ill
Got a phone call, straight from my uncle
Saying he was dying and I was wishing he was lying, but he wasn't

See my grandad was living abroad, we couldn't afford to all go see him
Been a fucked up ting but we couldn't all meet him
We had to send dad, luckily they freed him
But the funny ting is that his freedom was a waste
Cah he got there but he got there too late
See my grandad passed away the previous day (then what)

Then my dad came back and he kept his freedom
But he didn't have much and he worked so hard and made sure we were eating
So we started saving, everything was going okay
Over the years we saved 20 bags then thieves broken in and it all got taken

Mans heartless like Ansem
And I know what it's like, when you have nobody wanting to help
But you wanna get the grands up
Man changed when my Nan got cancer
Cah I watched her go through the chemo, what I mean bro is a brand new me
I seen the mad tings that my Nan had to go through
Had opps like she was a gangster

True say, real talk and honestly, I’ve seen death like so many times that it no longer scares me
Working way too hard so I couldn’t give a fuck if a gyal wanna air me
Cah me I don't chase no girls, cah the last one left and left my broken
Left my wounds open, wishing you the best, you left my heart frozen

And I had to learn how to deal with demons
Niyaz, Asheeq, Trinity that’s bros
Helped when I was low
Helped when I was broke
Any ting thats mine is yours when I blow
And shouts out to Patrick, Soj as well
My day 1s in this music business
Don't watch me, just mind your own business
Anybody step in to my way'll be a victim

Come on then, blud come on then try me
Don't brag cos your watch says ice g
You wanna know what cold looks like
You can step in to my shoes, take a look into my eyes g
Right now man are savage with the grind
Lost some friends that said they would have my back till the end of time
We don’t even speak no more, I hope you're doing fine

One day I'm gonna make it
And one day I might get why all this pain had to come my way for me to be famous
Tell mum don't worry bout the bailiffs
I've seen real life stress, thank God now I'm feeling bless
I don't mean to be heartless
But these days man I got to use heart, less
