Kid Optimism - Goliath (Prod. Spence Mills) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook - Sample from Wayward Son by Kansas]
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high

[Verse 1]
Feel like Goliath when catching stones due to defiance
Form an alliance with gods, got it down to a science
I'm pulling G's accelerating at high speeds
Got that adrenaline pumping, it's difficult to breathe
Illuminati want my soul and my body
Nah, I don't believe that ish
Why does everyone bring up this?
Deep inside the pocket, I'm looking for my receivers
Put the ball in my hands that run over non-believers
Had a label hollering at me already
I wonder if I'm ready
To make the jump from unsigned to signed steady
I don't know much about PEC, but I'll keep it in mind
In the future it's likely that I'll get pushed to my prime
My God given talent reaches new limits
And I once again didn't think they would want me in minutes
Perfecting my craft, the best I'll ever submit
Put it on my damn life, it'll take me up to the summit

[Hook]
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say

[Verse 2]
Born and raised with music flowing in my veins
Acknowledge me as a prodigy when I hop out the cave
Quitters never succeed, know that I have a need
To encourage potentially gifted people to breed
Breed as in the reproduction of all hopes and dreams
Slamming ambition and creatvity, evil schemes
To flatten their self-esteem, nit pick 'em to the extreme
Anybody who rises above the hate is supreme
Made the decision to stay unified with my team
Don't know their reputation, it's probably not what it seems
Said I'd never commit to a label I can't trust
Cause if I sign with the devil, I'd turn out to be a bust
Gliding to the finish line, bet I could do it repeatedly
Surpassing goal after goal, story yet to be told
There always is, there's one always hidden
And it turns out to be the best biography ever written
I love the life I'm livin'!

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
It's monumental the way I be making history
How many pages in the book? It's but a mystery
One of the many to start an odyssey
Possibly qualify to get certified higher up as a novelty
Cause a tsunami, erupting with such force
I crashed into this game with a mentality to enforce
Powered up like a horse, determined to be the source
Of energy needed in hip hop to be absorbed
Nothing short of miraculous
Triggering peace and happiness
Nothing but pure confidence put up in my consciousness
Talk that mad ish and I'll slide you down my esophagus
Listen to my music and question your hypothesis
Get to know an artist before you cause a disaster
It sets me up to be remembered in the life after

[Hook]
