Lil Phro - The Effort/Happening [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

The Effort

[Hook 1:]
I don’t think that you know
That I go rapido
When I am on a track
I go estupido
I’m bout obtaining green
Getting oregano
I’m not from Baltimore
But I do still say “yo”
I help my team a lot
So DMB just grows
My hair is not little
But my name Lil Phro
People don’t know ‘bout me
My rapping’s on the low
But now y’all gon’ know me
Cuase its time to do shows
My nigga does play WOW
But he’s no paladin
But my bass is so damn loud
That the house rattling
Your songs are so funny
Like you’re Jim Gaffigan
Please make another track
So I can laugh again
Please don’t get too too mad
I’m not for battling
Someone build me a fort
Where is ravelin
I’ll throw these rhymes at you
Like it’s a javelin
I ain’t pay attention
What else is happening?

[Verse:]
I’ve been work hard (So damn hard)
Like I need a green card (You need a green card?)
Damn that was offensive (Yeah it was)
But damn this shit is so expensive (For Real)
This gon’ be my job so don’t bother
Telling me that I can’t make a billion off a dollar
In fact I ain’t even pay for this shit
Call a lawyer
So I gotta get to hustling like Tom Sawyer
For ya
I came up with some shits
And I brought back
Nicnacs
So I can’t call it quits
Or hit the sack
For a catnap
But damn this shits the pits
But I’ll make it bounce back
Tell me where them stacks at
I’ll put them in my backpack

[Hook 1

[Verse:]
Where the hell you been (Where the hell you been?)
I tell to my flow and then (And then)
We proceed down to the gym (On our gym flow)
We flex on a track again (On our real flow)
I walk in with my crew
And we looking at you
Like what does it do
Or what it look like
It look like revenue
I speak only the truth
I am not from Duluth
I am from Silver Spring
But it ain’t no thing
Except everything
Westside of Maryland
Sing it again
I walk in with my crew
And we looking at you
Like what does it do
Or what it look like
It look like revenue
I speak only the truth
I am not from Duluth
I am from Silver Spring
But it ain’t no thing
Except everything
Westside of Maryland

[Hook 1]

Happening

[Interlude:]
What else is Happening?
What else is Happening?
And I ain’t pay attention
What else is Happening? X2

[Hook 2:]
I’ve been here working in the studio
Up all night, late, working on my flow
So if you were wondering, well now you know
Just so that you all could be proud of Phro
And I don’t know what’s going on
But you can tell that I have been in here for way too long
And I know I’m baffling
But I’m also babbling
So could you just tell me
What else is Happening?

[Verse:]
I’m on track after track
‘Nuff said
Wearing black on black like a nigga dead
You see that I’m been working hard
There ain’t slacking off
And if you thought I was gonna go soft
There ain’t no backing off
I’m a big dude so there ain’t room for 2 at the top
Get some money for advertising then just wait for my shit to drop
When your girl see me
Bruh, you better bring a mop
Cause there ain’t no bail for all the shit that I’m about cop

[Interlude]

[Verse:]
I talk ambitious
Got a wife, fuck a mistress
My life’s an open book
No dirty laundry or dishes
So I’ll let you in on a secret of Phro
Sometimes it gets a little lonely in this studio
Missing out on life but I gotta go get this doe
There’s your answer to people asking what you do this for
A hobby is a hobby
But it’s lovely when you’re making money
I’m a loner not a loaner or a stoner, honey
I’ve been down here just writing and reciting
Please don’t take it a style biting
I’m just influenced youth
Up in the booth
Emulating and incorporating greatness while telling the truth
About my life
So my wife
Can live the life that she always wanted to live
If y’all ask then I give
My view in the real
That’s the deal
Thoughts stemming off the top
Just like a banana peel
So don’t slip and say that I been missing
Cause you tripping, homie
Like you ain’t know that I’ve been down here in the kitchen, homie
Baking up beats and rhymes
So quit your bitching, homie
Cause you my dawg
Hop on a beat and spit it raw
DMB, I’m a boss
Whatever I say
It is law
You a serf
I’m The Tsar
I’ve been saying it for a while now
I’ve been cooking up songs and it’s time for you niggas to chow down
Optimistic eyes
So all I see is an upside down frown
I never cut ties
I feel good when I ride around town
That was a nice try
But you a little speaker, I got surround sound
That’s enough of the “whys”
Y’all sleeping on me like a night gown
‘Bout to grab my crown
If it was Royal then I would pour it
It’s important and should be noted
That I’m gon’ be rich so gon’ quote it nigga
