Lethal Dialect - Still A Darkhorse [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Tommy told me in the absence of my presence people recklessly conversing
Second-guessing me, acting respectfully in person
Allegedly I wanna be celebrity for tryna do this successfully
Tommy said he heard this accidentally
How could they question me, the same person wrote The Sermon
I don't make bad decisions, i'm obsessively observant
Understand as a man, I don't want somebody as a fan
Should they ever think less of me for earning
I do this to escape some shit i'm heavily immersed in
A path in life I wouldn't want an enemy traversing
I give respect where its due, respect me and i'll respect you
But the lack of respect for me's unnerving
But everything is meant, even if the reason's yet to be determined
There must have been a lesson needed learning
So thank you for your energy, your negativity brought out the best in me
Now you see me legacy is certain

[Hook]
The older heads said 'Life is what you make it, don't be waiting around
You'll be a long time in your resting place in the ground'
Never ran with the hares nah, I chase with the hounds
And my aim is to remain until my name is renowned
Oh you thought that I was just another flash in the pan
Cause I was laying low-key while I was hatching a plan?
Not me i'm too much of a passionate man
Guess i'm still a dark horse so i'm back with a bang

[Verse 2]
I don't do this for a living, nope.. This is what i'm living to do
That's the reason my own mother thinks i'm missing a screw
'Paulie what's wrong with you?' I told her that I wish that I knew
What do I do? I'm a musician, then the bitching ensues
I play the cards i'm dealt but keep my hand hidden from view
So i'm only understood by a significant few
But truth be told i'm no different than you
Nah, fuck it we are different.. You wouldn't even fit in my shoes
These younger heads don't wait their turn they're all skipping the queue
Ambition's cool, but you need to build discipline too
Once you do it's out with the old and in with the new
But while i'm here watch and learn or i'll bid you adieu
They say some people stop living their lives at twenty five
I'm twenty five now and feel like I lead many lives
But Deano told me this and it's true
Chase your dreams now or later you'll regret the ones you didn't pursue
Get to your dreams kid..

[Hook]

[Break: Jess Kav]
How does it feel to know that you are loved [x 2]

[Verse 3]
You have to separate the business from the art
Food for stomach, food for thought
But which one do you starve?
When it comes to art always listen to the heart
But the other side we call that part swimming with the sharks
Circling musicians with positions in the charts
Wrong move and them business sharks ripping you apart
That's why I rarely hit a blunt, cause my thinking should be sharp
It's just a game of power, you can win it if you're smart
My albums got some heavy rotation when they dropped
And I nearly got complacent with the props
Then some critics said the new shit i'm making sounded pop
Lost all motivation so I stopped
But to them critics, I have to just give you my regards
Cause you taught me how to deal with the critical remarks
See i'm far too ambitious not to finish what i start
So how's the sky the limit? This is written in the stars

[Break]
