Merrick - TAKEOVER [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Produced by 40, Boi-1da, Nineteen85 and Detail]

[Hook]

Been through so much in life
I'm just tryin' to do what's right
Music got me up all night
It's all I need (2x)

[Verse 1]

Ever since 2nd grade I dreamt of this moment
While I broke my life down and assembled components
Plus I’ve always had my plan in my head and I’ve known it
Now I’ve grown to know my place
Understand it and own it
I really feel
You aim at my Achilles heel
So I got my feet wet
Now watch me soak it in
Put my life into my passion
Now I’m focused in
Now it’s lights camera action
Let the show begin
Picked the craft back up, been workin’ since a freshman
And I haven’t looked back since, it’s been a blessin’
You say I’m into restin’
I say I’m interestin’
I say where real meets ideal - I’m at the intersection
Been investin’ private time to go public
But it’s hard to GoPro with no dough and no budget
Run with scissors to my tape, though they say that won’t cut it
What’s the point of doing what you do if you don’t love it

[Hook]

Been through so much in life
I'm just tryin' to do what's right
Music got me up all night
It's all I need (2x)

[Verse 2]

You always gotta pick yourself up
Even though it hurts to fall
Don’t you ever give up
And put your faith as first of all
See I’m keepin’ my belief
As I keep my circle small
As I try to keep this piece (peace)
I don’t need to have it all
And that’s all because I’m just another man
So what’s in a name?
A lot of artists kiss ass
When they come for the fame
A lot of artists talk shit
Claim they’re runnin’ the game
Talkin’ shit, and kissin’ ass
That’s one in the same
Been through a lot of shit I can’t explain
Just about enough to drive a man insane
To each his own though, I guess I can’t complain
Sometimes you find your greatest strength in how you handle pain
Still I feel the heat coming like a candle flame
So I find my inner balance, ‘til the ache’s over
And make no mistake
‘Cause the break’s over
Another chance for us all
This is the take-over
