Iman Shumpert - 290 West [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
It's all about honorable actions

[Verse]
If it ain't one thing, it's another
I know complainin' ain't gon' do nothin'
But it seem like everybody strugglin' and I'm not
Blood relatives need help and don't wanna ask for it
And tryin' not to beg, got me feelin' like an asshole
I be grindin' like the waiter puttin' pepper in the caesar salad
My mother need a palace
A family shake a booty party, we gon' get it crackin'
Since [?] hits the booty do, we still laughin'
But I'm gettin' pulled from all over
I hear the sad stories and get long texts
Like, "Dog I hate to ask for it"
But who needs help and who wants handouts?
It's hard not to reach my hands out
But those that really need help got their lips sealed
Walk through life with a big shield
They ain't showin' their teeth
'til they get in a jam that demands the real tears
But I'm the safety net, so I can catch the foul ball
The health insurance and the mortgage payments
I can't believe all the bank statements
While I smile at my savings, my makers ain't livin' right
And that just ain't sittin' right
I just need a year or so, then they can go and kick back
Thanks for Ms. Visa though, she the perfect compliment
With confidence to keep me off the usual
Let me paint that panoramic picture
Where I march with the largest city
Ooh it's nice when they standin' with you
Strongarm 'til the shoulder threatens to pop out
Find me locked in, doin' work, no clock out
Q said, "Get your money youngin', it's there"
So sit yourself in a chair, in time it becomes a coupe
With a detachable roof
Two to three women if you're into that, I'm tellin' the truth

[Outro]
Honorable actions
