Haf n' haf - Tell Dilla [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]

Tell Dilla Ima meet him when the time's right
After living wif my niggas in some limelight
They say I rhyme nice, I just say I rhyme bright
Open up your mind & you can dine on these soundbytes
Like its brown rice & good for your health
Tryna make tight records u could put on ur shelf
I got some dro in a jar, my hope in my bars
Cuz I know I'll go far, if my soul is involved
But y'all got no shame, no brains like prom kangs
It's all chains, fame, gunplay & ball claims
What's it come to? Something we can't undo
Everybody's confused, clear your mind wif blunt fumes
Like puff it, pass. Tryna school the young punks but these duntz skip class
Wanna get that cash, before they get that math
Well I'm about the knowledge you can't get that fast, ain't catch that? spit it back

[Hook] (Nicole K.A. & Haf n' haf)

Now tell me how you feel about it
I be looking towards the sky even if its cloudy
I be putting out my vibes even if they doubt me
Even if its only my people who gettin rowdy
My click around me & we giving off energy
Friendly G's, who be steady living memories
To last lifetimes, jam when the mic's mine
Write lines when I'm in my right mind
Life rhymes

[Verse 2]

Left school to pursue to something true
Fam was blue but I knew I'd get through if I grinded
Hit depression so hard, had me stressin but it's just another lesson & now I'm right minded
Yes I did, was sick but rose above it
Days where I couldn't even show my face in public, yup
On the subject, I asked myself
What's the measure of a man, is it power or wealth?
Is it all the university degrees on your shelf?
I'm an artist at heart, we can't teach what is felt
We express ourselves, through ways we know how
What's true to our views, can't use old routes
If you don't understand, might lack optimism, don't blame fans cuz they rock with my visions
Even if they don't get em, that's love what you missin?
Selling out venues wit my buzz is the mission

[Hook] (Nicole K.A. & Haf n' haf)

Now tell me how you feel about it
I be looking towards the sky even if its cloudy
I be putting out my vibes even if they doubt me
Even if its only my people who gettin rowdy
My click around me & we giving off energy
Friendly G's, who be steady living memories
To last lifetimes, jam when the mic's mine
Write lines when I'm in my right mind
Life rhymes
