Jimi Priceless - Applause [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I might not work the hardest, I might not be the best
But where's my applause, I deserve nothing less
But I feel I'm working harder, better than the rest
I'm the king amongst pawns and I ain't talking chess
Life isn't a game, so I don't play around
Didn't say it back then but I believe it now
I deserve an applause for all my words, verbs, nouns and vowels
Life isn't fair, you gotta watch out for the fouls
Cause it could be worse
Like the rap technique I used on the raps I wrote first
Fresh to death, with candy paint on the hearse
Head's in the clouds, on the top I'm perched
And I'm not coming down, unless you shoot me down
And I keep escalating, so you gotta shoot me now
Or else you'll never reach me, this ain't my proving ground
I'm on the ground once the air starts moving down

[Hook]
Where's my applause, for everything I've done
From the things I've lost, to the things I've won
For everything I do, and everything I don't
For the fact I can't stop, and that I won't
For the good and the bad I have caused
I think I deserve an Applause

[Verse 2]
And I keep flowin' because there's nothin' to it
Cause I said I deserve an applause and I'mma prove it
I'll prove it doing the opposite of losing
Yeah I'll keep shining, the opposite of losers
Yeah I'll keep beaming, just like a Laser
I'm providing food for thought, you can get the waiter
And I'm balling more than the LA Lakers
The game is mine, and I'm a fuckin' Taker
And I won't be giving it back
Until all the critics can cut me some slack
With my word of mouth, I'm killing all the plaque
I really think that I deserve some plaques
For what I'm doing, for what I'm writing
For what I'm spitting, for what I'm rhyming
Cause I keep it truthful, I'm not lying
When I say I stand tall, never lying

For the good and the bad I have caused
I think I deserve an Applause

[Verse 3]
Sound of applause, I deserve every decibel
I'm 24 karat gold, I'm really real
I'm a fire flame Fiasco, but I Chilly chill
Not a murderer but on the track, I kill
So lock me up then I'll escape
Like I'm free today and locked up yesterday
But I wasn't, I stay away from prison bars
But I'm a killer, cause I be killing bars
Can’t stop now, I've gone so far
Tony Montana, but without the scar
Because I feel that the world is mine
To receive applause, I am inclined
I'm just tryna make it, not even signed
Dreams don't come true, miracles happen, keep that in mind

[Hook]
