Ian Levy - Swag (Ft. Leara Ali) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Ian]

Dressin fly in a bow tie
People see me they be asking why
But it's more than dressin nice see?
Skinny jeans and a cardigan are part of me
So I'm targetin my heart b
Let it beat in a way that reflects me
The best me, my closet is deep
With class comes knowledge and a college degree
Swag so sleek peep the socks on my feet
And the single tone sheets speak be-bop
And I can't rock flip flops, I'm too hip hop
The new hip hop, music without the movement of guap
But hold up, my style is clean
An art based machine wear my heart on my sleeve
I used to feel weak in my graphic tea
And now I sip green tea and read magazines
I love the morning and the sunshine
Writing rhymes, train pass by
I yawn, and stretch, then pull over my V-neck
Ready for whatever comes next

[Leara]

Stop and understand we are more than dress
And your stress should not rest on their version of best
Stay true to who you are, live some more question less
Like this flow comin out of my head
Penetrates through my heart
And drifts of my chest, right on to this beat
From this beat into my soul
From my soul through how I dress, yes

[Ian Verse 2]

It's not cause I gotta have the best cut threads
Or I'm cocky and I'm tryin to impress
I just need to feel safe in my head
And it helps when I have a dope belt and a vest
Yes, my mood determines decisions I make
Wait, I'm feelin really anxious today
Ok, I ain't playin!
Wearin a blanket till it fades away
Then get back into a blazer lay it down in one take
I'm glad I have a space to contemplate fate
And consciously debate whether I feel fake
And I will never take a break, an umbrella in the rain
I will laugh unafraid cause it matches my watch
There's some boots I gotta cop
Or I'm trapped in a box loosing site of what I want
Loosing site of what I fought for...

[Leara]

I was offered a chance of a fake escape
Shape shifter showing me the right of way, yeah

[Ian]

Stay tryna edit my messages with your rhetoric, But I'm way past dreamin under sedatives
In fact, my Ora reflects a relax mindset, with a unique skill set, I'm set

[Leara]

Never forget your hearts content, yeah

[Ian]

From obnoxious to conscious, counterfeit to slim fit

[Leara & Ian]

Coffee on the counter makes its obvious that I commit

[Ian]

Found my song and I sing it, admitting it may sound different in a minute but I'm with it

[Leara]

Intrinsic

[Ian]

Cause I'm not whole if I'm not slick with it
