Maestro Pianoman - Let It Ride [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

People gotta chill...


[Eric] G
Deep voice visionary Maestro Pianoman
Know how it goes down. Yep. Uh

[Chorus]
Yo, you better let it ride; pointless to be pointin' others' flaws out
Coulda been sky high, but I'm on the floor now
Haters stay shut. Time I tried to open doors now
Always laid back but in the end I'mma go all out


[Verse 1]
I said: people doubted me until I proved to them I'm capable
Still doubt on me. So I'mma come home with the paper for
Me and them others, weed never did wonders
We never did wonder if we was ever under
The laws of society. Probly cause we ain't, uh
I am sure and I admit I ain't a Saint, uh
With no Flock, I still go hard in the paint
And I can kill a piece of music while I'm hardly awake, uh
Finest of Northwest, and my war-chest can make me
The best of where I come from like I'm George Best
I mourn less than anyone you know. Yo, that's real talk
Fail to comprehend girls used to love me when I was real short
And now they love me more. More than I can imagine
Put to the test: there never is more than I can examine
And mentally I'm slightly still crawling out of a famine
But you never woulda guessed it no seconds for 2nd besting
I should live in a castle. And nah
I don't live to fight for 3rd or 4th place. Do I look like I'm Arsenal?
Even if I'm a fan it don't mean I hide from the truth just know that real rappers are ruthless

[Chorus]x2

[Verse 2]
Not a fighter jet although I fight against a slow thinker
They take my freedom they could never take my soul and
If a Lostboy finds me, I'll say come roll with a Neosoular doozy
Truly no time for no gold diggas
Watching rude-ish tube and shooting hoops with Cuban nudists
Music saved me took me from 0 to triple digits too quick
Got a letter from the bank. They tried close my account
Got a text from ol' girl, yeah. She knows I'm about
I know I'm around, some good people
Fighting villains but should I stand against good evil
I'm in a realm that's stuck between the realm of good and evil
I think that's why the music industry is looking feeble
Like 'Life of Pi' come and
Take some time in my adventurous story
Of a sensuous boy becoming a man
Something's runnin' from me again
Is it a dream? If it is then I'mma chase it
And if it's a female I swear down, I won't race with her
Hurt in my heart but all it does is pump the blood around
Got enough power from my mind to turn the sun around
Northweezy. Northweezy!
Stand up, if we see a snake we gun 'em down

[Beat fades out, back into short reprise and then fades out altogether]
