LexDaRapper - Thank You [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(Verse 1)
Dreams Start Young, believe that
I made it through all that negative feedback
And those critics who mocked all of my clean raps
So many people try to make sounding positive seem bad
Anyway...shoutout to Ian that's like my brother
He could care less about me rapping but I wonder
What he thought about when he had his little ears covered
And smiled as he listened to my album playing for em'
I been doing this for a minute, pay for studio time with cash from babysitting
In other words I wouldn't be here without the children
Funny how when you teach you and the students benefiting
I thank you
I should repay you
They say remain you
And do what you made to
Do, I got it
I got it, I promise, I’ll be dividing my profits
I'm giving some of my dollars, back that I borrowed for college
I'm giving some to my momma, so she can finally be jobless
Give dad some cash for his wallet, and for a truck with no mileage
I'm buying gifts for the toddlers, I helped grow up to be scholars
You went from cute little monsters, to geniuses who will conquer
And yes I truly am honored, to be the man that you polished
And yes I know that you're gonna, thank me but you owe me nothin'
Man I love this rapping stuff
People around the world saying LEX can you come rap for us
I'm like the weirdest rapper you should see what's in my calendar
School, babysitting, shows, stu, oh and I teach right after lunch
I never was a guy who begged complained and always asked for much
I just know there's things I need to see, do, and have to touch
For over 20 years I lived where people feel they're trapped and stuck
I just want to chase my dreams and inspire others who have it rough

(Chorus)
Naw
You ain’t gotta thank me naw
I should be thanking y’all
Y’all

(Verse 2)
My vacay was cool
I learned a lot in Georgia and my whole lil' break from school
Took a semester off and I felt like I'm breaking the rules
But sometimes you have to step away and come back when improved
There were days I tried to fly, but I didn't have much success
Wanted to break through a wall, but I knew I'd just hurt myself
Days I wanted to be bigger, but my arms need lots of help
And I went through tons of disguises, but disliked that way to dress
But then I went and looked at Superman, Batman, the Hulk
Iron Man, Wonder Woman, Flash, Thor and them all
I noticed that they each also have their own flaws
So I can be a hero too, I just have to show I'm strong
I've been looking in the mirror reflectin' at my reflection
Is it possible to feel blessed and do so much stressin’
My mama said it's better if we live in the present
But I can't stop myself of wondering what I'm destined
To be, to see, to do, to live for
I keep asking God what reason am I here for
I never hear an answer but instead he just fills voids
When I'm down and out, and I'm crying out, I shake it off, and I keep going
Remember getting older, always looking over my shoulder
My father's killer left me suffering from paranoia
I dreamt of being stronger, and my head never lowered
Now I'm jumping over fences with my essays crossing borders
Please tell the store owners, be the cashier not patrollers
I'm not stealing from your store we don’t all hang on the corners
I have dreams like one day putting a smile on all the homeless
If I'm thinking like a kid then I never want to grow up
22 year old kid
I ain't perfect but you name me a dude that is
I do this for the ones who cared when no one else did
I can't come this far and decide to be selfish…

(Chorus)
