McEnroe - Too Real (The Realest Part 2) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
It's a dirty game
In a crowded pond
It's coming around again
How'd I last this long?
I'm 'bout to go insane
So this is my last song
Too real
All wrong

[Verse One]
Come along with the crown prince of Cannuck rap
Witness first hand as I lay down the drum track
See some reality show heads love that
No refunds, can't get your ten bucks back
Ride shotgun, cop some groceries
Stop at the post office, all them know me
Then do the laundry, aren't we vibing now?
Learn from the Mcenroe, might wanna write it down
The tightest sound from unlikely heroes
The number like me, just might be zero
Hype, we weirdos, what? Me worry?
As we tear those psyche Shirly's
Where's Lavern as we watch a rerun?
Lots to learn as you talk with me son
Hear my name and your interest spikes
If you think fame comes from Internet sites
Friggin A right, piggy back name drops
In the underground, you wear backpacks and take shots
At anyone who rocks club tracks they make hot
Will they grow up? In fact they may not
I'm laying down odds at 20 to 1
That they ever come off without money to run
I'm funny to some and got critics acclaim
And the video's fun but to live it is lame

[Bridge]
If it's all the same and it isn't a pain
You can keep the fame, just end the sustain
A life with the wife and a Florida mortgage
Write through the night and at 4:00 I'm snoring
Do what I like cause I be my own boss
Sign who's tight and be seeing no loss
Don't need nothing but a cozy home
So I won't see the cover of the Rolling Stone

[Hook]

[Verse Two]
Have to write a lot of songs to afford a Benz
40 albums a year, I need a lot more friends to sell to
I used to have plans but they fell through
Never got signed, never believe what they tell you
Though you started off as star material
Adjust for the hard rocks, they hardly feeling you
The college crowd thinks you keep it too true
And club kids ain't even checking for ya (checking for ya)
Who you left with? Dudes like you but younger
The few who feel your hunger
Obsess on a mess like Felix Unger
Raise your stress and steal your thunder
Stay devout, be a maid of honor
Then freak you out like Sinead O'Connor
No one ever said they'd be a fan forever
Or is it in your head, are you too damn clever?
It's the question no one answers
To do your best and lower your standards
Maybe that you'll never play Madison Square
That's the path not the baby if you happen to care
The path that I've laid has changed year to year
But the tracks that I've made make me grin ear to ear
We can kick it right here
Or station to station
I have no fear
You know that I'm patient

[Bridge]
If it's all the same and it isn't a pain
You can keep the fame, just end the sustain
A life with the wife and a Florida mortgage
Write through the night and at 4:00 I'm snoring
Do what I like cause I be my own boss
Sign who's tight and be seeing no loss
Don't need nothing but a cozy home
So I won't see the cover of the Rolling Stone
