Jessie Chambers - American Daze [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Verse 1

I was raised in them days with the boxed up Chevys
Socks with the flip-flops
Tank tops with the long T's real heavy
Yeah white like Betty
All good like spaghetti
Yeah we thought we was hard in charge and ready
High school days was females and fades
Had to keep a fresh cut, the edge real straight
Young dudes coming out the hills
We was cool
Had no direction expecting to act a fool
And had a routine, that's the way we'd do things
Make sure the shoes clean, creased blue jeans
Catch a ride with ya homey to the school scene
Cafeteria free lunch was our food see
It was cool though, and after school bro
We would hit the courts hard homey u know
That's the way we used to do it time flew though
After graduation it was brand new though

Chorus

Running round streets all day
Looking for a place to play
Barely getting minimum wage
They say it's the American way
American Daze
Hip-hop in the deck when I drive
Show your homey clean rims on a ride
Who got the biggest system inside
Hear the bass when the car drive by
American Daze

Verse 2

Graduated high school
Look at how the time move
Some went to college, some ran the streets like other dudes
We tryna find our way and no don't wanna lose
Momma tryna tell me but I wanna choose
Knocking all the wisdom wanna pay my dues
But things is changing fast
No time to play the blues
Better find a passion get a job and cruise
My homies either smoking that or drinking booze
I need another point of view to pass the mood
American days, American youth
Snap a picture of the times like a photo booth
Thought your boys’ ul always be there then they gone poof
Relationships is ancient like a phone booth
Old friends either locked up or gone shoot
I'm steady praying there's a better way
Looking for a better day
A finer way of living, Truth

Chorus

Running round streets all day
Looking for a place to play
Barely getting minimum wage
They say it's the American way
American Daze
Hip-hop in the deck when I drive
Show your homey clean rims on a ride
Who got the biggest system inside
Hear the bass when the car drive by
American Daze

Bridge

We're on our way
