John Daniel - Upsndowns [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

Yeah, it's John Daniel
You know me

[Verse 1]

I got liq in hand, a lick in mind
John XVI, please remind, who's sick as I
Sittin' high, but bothered by the ground static
Sounds passive, but I'm still crowned as average
Rap has him hashtaggin' bandwagons
Act as if I'm that lavish - nah
Still got a lane of ways to go
Kick another flow, she looks at me, says say no more
Hold up, yo, tell me - is it real?
Not a soul seller but need propellers for appeal
Tell me how to feel, tryna unwield my shield
But I'mma conceal my Achilles heel to fulfill it still
A fifth filled with Phil, sit still on wheels
Me, I'm just livin', playin' my position
And I'm not shiftin' - check, listen

[Hook] x 2

Just a new face, they ask "who is this?"
Fuck whoever hates, I'mma do this shit
Past memories in images, it's nothin' now
Gotta go, gotta flow with the ups and downs

[Verse 2]

I'mma create til they cremate, I'mma seem fake when they need cake
I'mma leave crate of these tapes for my team to be great
Hey, we're scalin' the buildin' like cobra skin, focus in
But surveillance couldn't hold us in, I'm honin' in
Wait, take a step back, I'm still a kid
The fact of the matter is still dabble in recklessness
People tune in but don't know what the message is
Takin' a Picasso and trying to make sense of it
Ha, what the fuck y'all on?
Demons on tap, always got one to call on
It seems the way I act is all too wrong
But this persistence is not at all gone
I'mma follow the notion my devotion's not strainin
But the way I paint shit has me thinkin' I been thinkin' tainted
Playin' the plaintiff is somethin' I'm estranged with
Late shift, trying to be amazin'
Any breath could the curtain call, I've heard it all
I curveball when gettin' hurt's involved
And then my purpose stalls, when I take a stand
Just know I've rehearsed the fall, understand
I wonder if I'm gone, will they miss me?
That could've been any one of us on Diffley
If I can't do it to solve these problems
I'mma keep goin', just for Ahsim
Miss you bro

[Hook]
