Just Matthew - Understand It [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Just Matthew]
Cause you're not ready
You're not ready
I was a skeptic (I was a skeptic)
Don't understand it
Yeah
They don't understand it
Don't understand

[Chorus: Just Matthew]
When you on the summit
You're the hardest one to reach
They used to say, "work on your speech cause you're not ready" (you're not ready)
2a.m. I'm looking in the mirror
Asking, "how did I get here?"
Cause all at first I was skeptic (I was a skeptic)
I can see the future right across my living room
But when I paint that picture they don't see the canvas (canvas)
All it takes is one
But when you add up all your losses you know how it feels to drown
Wait now, they don't understand it

[Verse 1: Just Matthew]
Uh
I'm in that solitary mindset
It's that pain, that pressure, that joy you could feel that in all of my projects
My emotions buttin' heads, it's turnin' up in my head
When I think its a mosh pit
Got me thinkin' in this room, "did my mama and my daddy give birth to a prophet?"
I don't know, I don't know a damn thing I just live for the process
6.a.m. , waking up to try and get this thing in
Layin' down a verse I can see it's dark out
Ain't nobody want a college drop­out sayin'
"you don't need that money"
"open your mind and you could breathe that money"
"work, work, work for that 401k so at the end of your life you can free your money"
Girl, I just want to see you smile back
Get it (uh)
You know I had to rewind
Dudes hate then they throw up the peace sign
You ain't my dog, I don't roll with felines
This what happens when there's too much free time
This what happens when there's too much free time
Hatin's automatic when you live
Open your eyes and feel the rhythm inside
Do American Band Stand on the edge of that cliff
Cause I ain't worried about nothin'
I ain't worried about nothin'
High Tide boy ain't worried about nothin'
Shoutout to my brother named Nyge, out in London UK that's my country cousin
Out in LA some girls chase fame, bring a dude in just to carry that luggage
I ain't really with that mess no "Love & Hip Hop"
But I'm puttin' love in hip hop
Rappers take time to relay no time for pit stops
5% efforts takin' home a wristwatch
I could see the future like Alfred Hitchcock
So go enjoy it now while your records still hot
Everybody, everybody don't deserve that
Do me like this so I hit 'em right back
Fly high sky high, no Xanax, Prozac
They messin' with the pills though, I ain't really with that
My life is a crescendo, that be overlappin' where my sins at
I wonder where it ends at
Reminiscin' on the time when I started rappin' now
Tell me where those friends at
Cause I don't know the whereabouts of these suckers
I know that line kind of sounded like a Drake line
Haters talk, I don't FaceTime with you suckers
I'm too busy trying to pack this luggage, get it now

[Chorus: Just Matthew]
When you on the summit
You're the hardest one to reach
They used to say, "work on your speech cause you're not ready" (you're not ready)
(yeah, uh) 2a.m. I'm looking in the mirror
Asking, "how did I get here?"
Cause all at first I was skeptic (I was a skeptic)
I can see the future right across my living room
But when I paint that picture they don't see the canvas (canvas)
All it takes is one
But when you add up all your losses you know how it feels to drown
Wait now, they don't understand it (yeah)
They don't understand it

[Verse 2: Just Matthew]
Reachin' high for that summit
Man I done sacrificed my whole social life I couldn't cover that with my budget
Looking at the ceiling as I'm reflectin' weigh the pro's and cons is this what I'm reachin' for?
Spill my thoughts on this wooden floor I ain't turning back cause I love this
Fightin' with my inner demons trying to take me over get camouflaged in that fire flame
My every battle is like Maximus I'm yelling to myself, "are you not entertained?"
Crawling down through this hallway beneath dim lights and those picture frames
Reminisce of my childhood
I'm forever changed with this outlook
Everyday battle Goliath I'm trying to go face to face with the Messiah
Just trying to clarify all of my trials like was it all worth it to walk through the fire
Reach for the stars thought I could move with the planets the galaxy smaller than all of my dreams
Through all my faults and my weaknesses do my victories mean more than all my obscenes?
I know I can't get in between cause it's really good or bad or its light or dark
Wakin' up but I'm snoozin' now thinking, "who was that in my afterthoughts?"
Reality moves with the current so all of these doubts that I have goin' sideways
Pushing towards that end goal I'm like, "lets go" I'mma do it my way, yeah

[Chorus: Just Matthew]
When you on the summit
You're the hardest one to reach
They used to say, "work on your speech cause you're not ready"
(you're not ready) 2a.m. I'm looking in the mirror
Asking, "how did I get here?"
Cause all at first I was skeptic (I was a skeptic)
I can see the future right across my living room
But when I paint that picture they don't see the canvas (canvas)
All it takes is one
But when you add up all your losses you know how it feels to drown
Wait now, they don't understand it
(Yeah)

[Bridge: Just Matthew]
They say my dreams too big I can't contain it, my ego's inflated
I should stick to places with graffiti on the pavement
I've been workin' like 20 dudes on a slave ship
So when opportunity comes I'm elated
Ecstatic to know when I make it, I turn disbelief to amazement
My witnesses know I've been focused, I took bullets like a soldier
Went into a coma but now I woke up to resume cause I feel it closer
Music ain't ready, the world ain't ready for my ocean
These rappers get nothin' but a raincheck for my condolence (preach)

[Chorus: Just Matthew]
When you on the summit
You're the hardest one to reach
They used to say, "work on your speech cause you're not ready"
(you're not ready) 2a.m. I'm looking in the mirror
Asking, "how did I get here?"
Cause all at first I was skeptic (I was a skeptic)
I can see the future right across my living room
But when I paint that picture they don't see the canvas (canvas)
All it takes is one
But when you add up all your losses you know how it feels to drown
Wait now, they don't understand it (yeah)
They don't understand it
