KING SOL - Statement [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
See most rappers would probably stunt all over this intro
Talking about things that never happen, goals that they'll never reach
But you know me, I like to keep it real

[Verse 1]
Yeah, imma make a statement
Everybody never drop, never pop, yeah, I said I never wanna quit
Like one chance, one shot, one life, hey, so this is it
They said I couldn’t do this and I couldn’t do that
And I couldn’t get rich and I would always tip my hat
But I’m sipping on Sprite up high like a kite
With a fist held high with all my might
Look behind me, where I’m going, what I’m doing, where I’m flowing
Got beats crazier than North Korea
Made the streets stop yelling put your feet up
Now people hear the name and they see what the fake is, and who the real MVP
Tell ‘em I got a stake in this, now all of these people look to me
I know I got it, but I’ve been throwing books on the shelf
You see I talk a lotta game about being real but never talk to myself
And I fight that, and I know I’m not old with experience, and not experienced to know
But everybody thinking that I can’t do this...this is how it goes

[Hook]
I’m the real, you the fake
I make a statement, crush the place
People been hatin', I preach for change
They never satisfied, so I took the reigns

[Verse 2]
Ring the doorbell haters gonna stop
Climbin' up the staircase, look who’s on top
See you acting tough well you probably wearing crocs
Step up to the mic and show ‘em what I got
Drop the beat let ‘em know wassup
Drop for free they don’t spend no bucks
Drop for me and my streams go up
Never smoking tree I just spread the love
Look out, look out, now look who’s coming
He’s looking like a nerd but he’s on his way drumming
Jumping in the game tryna turn this into something
Putting out tracks on they speakers they bumping
Got bread, now I turn heads
All because of one song and what I said
Sophomore time, every song for free
From the bay to the big apple NYC
Get on your knees, bow down
I'm just kidding I just rep my town
I'm no better than anybody and that's my style
Got a lot of these singles add 'em to the pile
Now I get it, now I get it, now I'm working all grind
Even when I'm down it's comeback time
Even when it's good I could dump that rhyme
And even if it's gold I could skip that mine
Skipping up everybody, I'm tripping up everybody, I'm flipping up and dipping up and nevertheless I'm winning yup
Trying to get that number one spot, if you reppin' the team well you can come to the top

[Hook 2x]
