Kid Pharaoh - Number One [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Verse 1)

Just tryna be number one
At first it was just fun
Now this what keep me flowing like my heart was the drum
Dedicate my last breath to getting a track done
So ahead of my time, but now let’s take it b ack some
To the days I was plotting this all out
Making it big was the only thing that I’d talk ‘bout
But I never just talk the talk
Got so much work in store
See my life like a movie, and these tracks are the score
Pour every last drop of my soul in these lines
Anything I go through, display it in these rhymes
These guys out here they don’t do it like I do it
Never afraid to show my true emotions in my music
This is me, give you an insight into my Chronicles
Just tryna to prove to you and myself that this is possible
Not putting on a fake facade to impress
Just doing me, and I’m gonna be the best, I’m tryna be number one

(Verse 2)

When they hand out those career forms and I say I wanna write rhymes
What you think they thinking, probably that I’m out my damn mind
I’m in the back of the class writing my raps
Beats on blasts
Pay no attention to the crap
They tryna force into my mental
Saying it’s essential to earning credentials
In this torrential section of society
But they all lying see
Teachers forcing information ‘bout to break my neck
In the real world, how many times will I have to find x?
Share my music all the time yo but do they give a shit?
Does the message stick after they give the play button a hit
Don’t want you to just listen
I want you to really feel
The emotion I’m promoting coz I always keep it real
Some beats and rhymes, that’s the sweetest remedy
If you listened you could hear the sweetest melodies
Said in the beginning, at first it was just fun
Now this is it, they ask me what I’m tryna be, tryna be number one
