Jay RUKAS - Retrospec [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Jay RUKAS]

I remember coming home from school and rhyming
Just to perfect my rhythm and timing
My flow I'm still finding
The words looking like planets aligning
I'll by lying if I told you I ain't trying
There's gonna be no mistakes, only one takes
And I won't hesitate at home plate
The lyrics are just intricate
I conglomerate rhymes into different templates
At a rate you can't relate to
Watch it ooze out like gue, and get stuck like glue
I got flows to pick and choose
Don't need to introduce myself with a interlude
There's something new, people are becoming lyrical
If spitting the truth's a crime, then I'm a criminal
With complex syllables

[Hook][x2]

Lets take it back to the days
Where real hip-hop would get played
And it mattered what you would say
But, now it all seemed to fade
But, now it all seemed to fade

[Verse 2: Jay RUKAS]

Its the retro theme
I'm gonna reach my dreams by the age of eighteen
Before anything released they said, "Don't forget me!"
I haven't made it on a big screen or dropped a major CD
Now y'all acknowledge me? That's crazy
What if I wasn't a emcee, where would I be?
There's too many questions to ask
I'm not gonna vent on the past, it passed
Let's focus on the things we have
At last, I'm lyrically indisputable through my pupal
Forget working in a cubical, I wanted to make music
Any other suggestions, I refused it
I remember writing when I was booth-less
Won't be roofless when I'm flowing ruthless
I'm just flowing so ruthless

[Hook][x2]

Lets take it back to the days
Where real hip-hop would get played
And it mattered what you would say
But, now it all seemed to fade
But, now it all seemed to fade

[Verse 3: Dexray Robinson]

I remember being young back in the classroom
With notepads filled with some lyrical snafus
It's just practice, the younger me was sorta like a savage
Living on instinct, never was much for planning actions
So when I started rapping, at first I tried to ration
And say that I would put school first on the average
And at first that was exactly what had happened
But these cravings for the craft got me cheesing
Whats the reason for me to continue to keep breathing
If I'm only here to sleep, eat
On a daily grind just a cog in the machine
We, only live once and that coffin is eternal
I figured I needed peace before I take the big sleep
Barely passed, cause you know I focused heavy on this music
I'd, rather be a dreamer scheming how I'm about to do this
Than a man who's living foolish, cause hes living for tomorrow, not today
When tomorrow isn't promised, are you kidding me?

[Hook][x2]
