Jahzi - Smoke & Mirrors [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Did you press the red button? The red button

[Hook]
It's all smoke and mirrors
Wipe away the steam so you get to see it clearer
You ain't gotta be in fear of what you see or hear
Cause what's in the mirror ain't always close as they appear

[Verse 1]
It all started with a poem. As dark thoughts roam through my dome
Always getting to me when I'm sitting home alone
They would stab my mental. I had no one to vent to
So I would grab a pad and pencil then I'd get into my zone
It was all I had to take the sorrow from me
Pops left me alone and I ain't talking borrowed money
Saying I can't rap, these niggas tried to mum me
Knowing all the while that they ain't have nothing on me
They fronting homie. Something told me pay attention
Wait and listen. Now I'm praying, wishing
That I get my shine. I wanna glisten
And hope that one day my dreams may come to fruition
And now you stand in reverence
And it's evident I got the precedence of presidents
I been the cleverest ever since and when my thoughts touch down
You think their benevolence is heaven-sent

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
I used to think that if I blew a blunt of loud it
Allowed it to give me skills I didn't have without it
I didn't think twice about it but my mind was clouded
Now my rhymes are more thought out and well-rounded
IOEN smoke IOEN smoke
But my verses are so blunt you thought I toked before I wrote
Or the blunt smoke hit my throat before I spoke
I'll either be a black sheep or the rap GOAT
I'm doper than the nigga that you bit your lines off of
My verses are over your head I'm a Skywalker
A sly talker. I'm one you can't mess with
My verses are electric and I'll spark ya
My punch lines are more like haymakers
I put in so much work, straight labor
And I'll be a pay chaser until I make paper
You don't know who you fucking with like I date raped ya

[Hook]
