Green Street - In No Time [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: A-live]

A warrior’s mentality, boy how could you battle me
I put every one of my dreams over a salary
The weight that I be balancing, shaking off the tragedy
That's why it's safe to guarantee, there won't be nothing that's after me
But now I feel like the time is slipping
It's like a bomb is ticking
Find me in the kitchen
With that Obama vision
That means I'm focused
Bringing hope to the hopeless
Bust shots on opponents
Duck shots I stay on offense
This don't stop
Either we pop, or we gone Pac
Either we rock, or we gone rot
Believing in God, don't mean you got heart
And I have no option
Go broke or get it popping
Used to hate to clock in
Refuse to boost your profits
I rather be shopping, island hopping constant
Mornings in St. Thomas, St. Lawrence for the nonsense
For dollars we go all in, enough to go around twice
To you all this sounds nice, this what my life sounds like

[Chorus]

They tried to box us out the game, dog
But we’re back and we’re going in
No rings, no chains on
It’s just work so we’re going in
It's my time that's coming
And you can't tell me nothing
This time is for the money
I hit the ground I'm running
About to do a hundred
This time is for the money

[Verse 2: Soupa]

I'm trying to be respected in this game
My name connect with claims of "realest out"
I'm stealing dames, you still in doubt
You kicking shade then seal your mouth
Married to my fame
How could I switch it now and pick a spouse?
Work a nine to five, that corporate life's a trap like in the south
I love my pops he didn't bounce
Brother 'bout to go to Harvard
Mama know I’ll be a star
When times were hard we wasn't starving
Niggas talking 'bout balling?
Kid I grew up by the Garden
As for winning, I could say a couple things
This where it started
Smartest kid that's been retarded
Talking shit? You get discarded
Tiger blood and lion hearted
Bitches acting pop now?
I'm still comfortable, I'm riding with my top down
I'm hopping out like, who's hot now? Say something
A free country, they don't let a nigga make nothing
A game of thrones, you got to take something
So we lit the flame without a match
Ain't nobody hot as us
Man I swear we got the juice, I look at ya'll like not as much
