Grip Grand - Showtime (That's Entertainment) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Yo!)

Chorus:
Young and dangerous, I’m the main event and I’m sayin’ it
Showtime! That’s entertainment
Wait a minute, this a masterpiece and I painted it, namin’ it
Showtime! That’s entertainment
Hey, it’s Grip, tryin’ to make chips like the Vegas strip, pay the rent
Showtime! That’s entertainment
That’s what the haters get, that’s what they playin’, it’s—wait for it—
Showtime! That’s entertainment

Verse 1:
Savor it, put it in your pocket for later, it’s
My favorite, showtime, that’s entertainment
Songs that you sang to get
Up when you’re down and get
Down like you got paid, but it was counterfeit
How to live in Broakland with just fifty dolares?
Problem is, you can’t sleep—the landlord is hollerin’
He keeps sayin’ “Yo, I need the rent by tomorrow n’
I’m callin’ in the cops to get your asses thrown out again!”
Shoutin’ at the top of my lungs how I’m ‘bout to been
Sprung out the B ‘cuz my team’s overpowerin’
Your dream’s over, now I’m in the place to be, housin’ it
Power trip! Grip plug it in like a power strip
‘Bout to get to the nitty gritty like the heart of things
I love rap! You could do it, too. Be a part of things!
They tried changin’ that, changin’ this, chainin’ us
Up, but I fucked with the locks like I’m Jadakiss

(Chorus)

Verse 2:
Ya’ll get the vapors, plus
Your DJ couldn’t make a paper cut
What up, Percee P? Thanks for “Paper Cup”
Scrapin’ up the last of my cash
“Just to make a buck!”
Out of fifteen cents—the shit isn’t addin’ up
Grip may have had enough
Bitch, now it’s batter up
Bulletmouth, spittin’ more shells than a bag of nuts
Had the touch, but I lost-ed it
Like my folks, got a divorce from it
Broakland! Of course it is
Like a lead pipe across your ribs
The force of it takes your breath away
Torture? You don’t know what torture is!
Grip is for the kids, punchlines and choruses
Fortunate, you’re all very lucky I recorded this
When the battle stops
Look, admit you’re hooked
Because I got more hooks than a tackle box
Waitin’ in the wings to be weighin’ in, they’re convinced
Made a dent—Showtime! That’s entertainment

(Chorus)
