KING SOL - Way Too Close [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
One of a kind, I say what’s on my mind

[Chorus 1]
I’m way too close to say I meant it
I’m way too far from where I’m headed
I’m way too near to not forget it
I’m way too young to not feel threatened

And you know, you know just what it’s like
You think you know what has been all up in my mind
I’m just a young homie tryna stick to the grind
I feel the pressure to create but I keep it inside

[Verse 1]
I guess I see this as a journey since I’m closer
People started talking ‘bout who should be my promoter like
Hey man, let’s take this thing from just a hobby
You could be with your posse, you could be like Watsky

But I don’t really wanna be him when they see me
I’m televised to the world, but this ain’t just about the TV
I wanna be a wonder for the world kinda like Stevie
A young kid but you know my message is pumping beastly

And I know, that every time I pour my heart out
It doesn’t sound genuine because I’ll tear the charts down
I know that I can jump around with words out my mouth
But can you really blame me all I’m tryna do is get it out

This is me, I’m an individual and I’m an artist
You can think I’m the dumbest or you could think I’m the smartest
Cause even if you try to mess me up or diagnose
You can’t stop me, I’m way too close

[Chorus 2]
I’m way too close to what’s behind me
I’m way too far from star shining
I’m way too near to just declining
I’m way too young to be that silver lining

And I know, I know what you’ve been making me see
That even though I say I rap doesn’t mean that you all believe
But every time I rap, I spread it through love
And really, I’m way too close to just give up

[Verse 2]
Stick the throne in my dreams but you know I’m getting hotter
Rap was painted as a thug stay away from those sons and daughters
I been spinning in the air and promise ain’t no helicopter
That can swoop you in to save this new beat that I’m ‘bout to conquer

16 Years in the Making and it just made me tougher
So man I feel like balling throwing shots up at the buzzer
I never wanna change, won’t get older won’t get younger
Said my hits are never ending like the posts you see on Tumblr

I’m here to stay, I’m here to stay
Tried my best, now promise I’ll never change
This is my way, this is my way
Worked so hard now the whole world is my range

I got one more stance, rap game on my shoulder
I’m burning steady, my brain is my motor
With this strength every day getting older
Rap is the battlefield and I am the soldier

[Chorus 3]
I’m way too close to what’s approaching
I’m way too far from simply hoping
I’m way too near to just folding
I’m way too young to not be moping

And I know, I know what you’ve been making me see
That even though I say I rap doesn’t mean that you all believe
But every time I rap I spread it through love
And really I’m way too close to just give up

[Outro]
So close...
