Kirklandd - Backin the Day [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Rudimental Intro)

(Verse One)
I think of back in the day
When these other real rappers still had something to say
The words spoke then still meant something today
But we never hear shit when we're grinding for pay all day
Those echoes only travel through hallways
I play the part, but i wonder who god plays
It big or pac
Picasso or basquiat
You pull ya new whip but i leave the lot

It feel hard for me to fathom
I got drive when i be listening to a phantom
Your words mean shit keep living inside a pantom-mime
We're floating on til we fly
I hope we’re known til we die, it does feel good to see what's inside, yep but we hide, case we meet lies
You claim we fam but yet we need ties... I’m not wise
But i see a lot with my eye on the prize
I need two hands when im climbing the skies
So when i fall i can still applaud i dont need to crawl
When you taught me to run
My days went dark you had bought me the sun, i had thought we had won
But it was too soon to say
Tomorrow give her the world and the moon today

(Hook)
I'm thinking on back in the day
I'm thinking on back in the day
And i really woulda wondered what had happened to me
If we all stopped rapping for pay
And we just found love stop macking away
Uh
And finally found the truth today
But it already happened all
Back in the day

YEAH

(Verse Two)
I think of back in the day
When these other real rappers still had something to say
The words spoke then still meant something today
But we never hear shit when we're grinding for pay all day
Those echoes only travel through hallways
I play the part, but i wonder who god plays
It big or pac
Picasso or basquiat
You pull ya new whip but i leave the lot behind

We will convince you we're fine
Pandora's Box an empty land mine
Think if you open you might be coping flow in the levy drown til it’s open
You can’t contain a closed mind
Proving its power in its own time, hope you're gone find an end to the light
The thunder struck slow i fear when its bright
Could strike me three times, throw my peace signs
Keeping a lease i hope to see mine owned
Before it be taken on
Another new heart beat as low as a baritone, good as a barabond, holy as matrimon
Say you run me, well we'll see at the marathon beefing the cattle on
Try to shoot my wings, I been, the next kin, as fly as an eagle on

Air force one til I soar a lil higher
Sights set high but I’m looking through the wire
Thought I feared this, now I’m fearing you a liar
Came with an end date and you expire it all, I finally crawl
Where i never had run
Inside my palm I’ll be holding the sun, icarus had become
Another new tune to play
Tomorrow give her the world
And my tomb today

(Hook)
I'm thinking on back in the day
I'm thinking on back in the day
And i really woulda wondered what had happened to me
If we all stopped grabbing for pay
And we just found love stop macking away
Uh
And finally found the truth today
But it already happened all back in the day

(Verse Three)
I come from back in the day
When these other real rappers still had something to say
The words spoke then still meant something today
But we never hear shit when we're grinding for pay all day
These echoes only travel through hallways
I play the part, but i wonder who god plays
It big or pac
Picasso or basquiat
You pull ya new whip but i leave and, rot

Beneath the surface too deep
Losing your mind to find what you keep, reap what you sow when faced with the hunger
Insomniacs are free from the slumber
My cogniac attack with a plunder
I hide in the synonyms I’m under
But when I’m envisioning I wonder
Freedom happened today, reclaim crowns it ain’t now, I left it all back in the ....
