J.S.W. - Keep It 100 Feat Sky Money [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: J.S.W.]

I value time spent, meals ate, each dollar made
For all the times lost to hunger pains
One dollar days

Never bought no Jordan's
It's not I wouldn't sport em
$200 for some kicks??
Is walking that important?

I'm a product of dog days when mom made
Graveyard minimum wage to keep the bills paid

That $200-
Could've used it back then
Could careless about some shoes I'm from back then
Split that $200 throw it in her tank
I'd put up on some groceries
Pay part of the rent

I was too young tho
I stared into my unknown future made a promise that when I'm grown

I won't blow dollars on frivolous
Meaningless transactions - I'm stacking - I'm not reliving this!
Putting up paying for the things I need
Rainy days drenched the inner kid within me

[Chorus: Sky Money]

Eight Ball corner-pocket
If I said it then I'ma win it
If I'm ballin then I'ma spend it
If you broke n*ggas go get it

Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo

[Verse 2: Sky Money]

Kept it real since my mama gave birth to me
Gotta kill cause that's what my fam worth to me
Do what it take to make it by any means
Scared to go broke
So I go hard for that green...
Haters try and stop me
Cause my grind on beast mode
Business mentality plus I'm flowing with the street code
Understand your position
Nigga play your role
Don't act like you something when you a regular Joe Schmo
You n*ggas is fake
I'll melt with a lighter
Days getting darker
My nights getting brighter

I'm so authentic I got your b*tch calling me real
And everytime I f*ck her she's like "Sky's a big deal"
Yeah...

[Chorus: Sky Money]

Eight Ball corner-pocket
If I said it then I'ma win it
If I'm ballin then I'ma spend it
If you broke n*ggas go get it

Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo

[Verse 3: J.S.W.]

I try to give help, lift up, reach out
For all the help I didn't get -
Wouldn't reach out
Troubled
My smiles never showed it tho
Outer goals shielded soul - my inner war...

A war stole me from Rahel and Filmone
Elsa - for eleven and nine years

In the meantime I made hella friends
Would never tell my pain
Afraid to comprehend -

What is it to them?
I hide it from my friends
Could never keep it hidden
Learned how to pretend
Slowly rushed up
Rising like some lava
Hold Back People be creating hella drama

When I got the courage learned how to express
Listening ears healed me...

When I see the disturbed
Crumbling under stress
My listening ears start to heal em...

[Chorus: Sky Money]

Eight Ball corner-pocket
If I said it then I'ma win it
If I'm ballin then I'ma spend it
If you broke n*ggas go get it

Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
Keep It Real - Keep It 100 yo
