Leland Aleem Fakir - Work Flow [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

Heh, I like this shit
True Story
Look

[Verse 1: Leland Aleem Fakir]

Uh, said, "I'm sick of working 9 to 5."
This shit is so repetitive I do not feel like I'm alive
I'm just trying to buy Jordans and go out touring-
Off the music i love making. And get praised for my performance
Would you rather be a product of our system or a rapper?
Told the white man I'm choosing numero dos, and I got laughter
Couldn't have been my accent, cause, that shit was on, puto
They thinkin' I won't make it, nigga they can kiss my culo
Pause
Money ain't the reason that I'm rapping though
This so called compensation I been making and sent half the, dough-
I could be getting for spitting my life to a rhythm
With high-hats and kick drums. I could be making millions
Millions of dollars, simply to express myself
Instead I'm at Urban, these hoes like "Can you help me dress myself."
Attractive I say yes and if not then I tell em no
You can judge me all you want
That's just the way that, that shit go
I see a Rolls Royce and the nigga driving is old
And I assume, his rich ass never worked in a fucking store
No. He don't know what poor means
And I don't know his story
But I do know that my nose stays bloody and he got floor seats
And I'm trying to be as fortunate
He bout to kick the bucket
But it's top down in the winter time
His heater on like, fuck it
Probably never earned it, but he getting mad respect
His wife a skinny model chick also receiving fat checks
[Alarm goes off at Urban.]
"Sorry, may I check your bag?"
Back to reality as Mr. Rich just cruises, past
Damn, it must be nice. Shit, it must be life
Manager caught me zoned, he said "You must be tired."
"You're fucking right!" Didn't really say that
But I knew I should've said it
But because, "I told her no," he said "Okay, we'll stay till 7."
Fuck. Another 3 hours I'm here, stuck
100k; 1 hour show; at every hour, 9 bucks
Service for a living or living with full service
Purposely missing call-ins or living out your purpose
No brainer
And it's obvious. I got me a scheme
Fuck all that following the rules dog. I'm following dreams
Don't get me wrong though
I know that things can be must worse. I'm fortunate to have a job
There's bigger problems on this earth but
We gon' have to get to those another time
My mother need that mansion right now nigga double time
I said "My momma need that mansion right now, nigga double time."
[singing] I said "My momma need that mansion right now, nigga double time."
