MiQ - One Day [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]

I used to build sand castles
Put a moat and a bridge
Imagined dragons fightin' knights
There was a throne
And I was king
I was the ruler of it all
Kneel and bow before me
You motherfuckers think you're scary
But you clowns ain't Voorhees
The shit I seen, would ring through your eyelids
Close your eyes and visualize
The dark swallows you, crying
And you fightin', but the light just don't seem bright
And the point just up and lost it's hype
You don't care, but that's a lie
Stop
Take a step back
Take it all in
Look how far we've came
With this ball pen
This is all I ever wanted
A voice and a place to blast it
I know you wanted me gone
But I'ma keep on comin' back in
For back when I didn't have shit
Cause these days I have this
And this is all I need to get up off my ass and
Make the whole world hear me 'fore I end up in that casket
Go ahead, blast this
I hear these rappers say fuck the fame, lets get that dough
Got millions already, why not a couple more
See I don't care about that green
All I wanted was a team with me
On the cover of a magazine
And them screams hit me from the crowd
And dreams are made, my momma proud
My Pop's seein' me not as fuckin' useless now
And I get that smile
That smile I ain't seen since I was by the window
And I told my God I live for me
And me gon be that man in everyones ears
And me gon be that man, that man, they all fuckin hear
Year after year, I stay devoted to this
I'ma be that man
On this star I make a wish

[Bridge]

One day I'ma be that man
One day I'ma be that man
I said, I said
One day I'ma be that man
One day, I'ma be that man

[Chorus]

And you gon hear me on the TV, radio
On the stage of packed stadiums
When you with your friends, just pop my disc in your stereo
That's all I want
That's all I need to survive
When they all hear me
I won't need no disguise

[Bridge]

One day I'ma be that man
One day I'ma be that man
I said, I said
One day I'ma be that man
One day, I'ma be that man

[Chorus]

And you gon hear me on the TV, radio
On the stage of packed stadiums
When you with your friends, just pop my disc in your stereo
That's all I want
That's all I need to survive
When I become that man
I won't need no disguise

[Verse 2]

When that first youtube video dropped
Through them halls, with head high, I walked
And I waited, for the comments
For the oh you white shit, nonsense
For the don't try to be black
And I'm so whack, but they don't get that I ain't on that
I live my life how I live it
Put it up on this paper
And recite it in my sessions
I display my days, glass house for the world to see
I want to see if they can maybe see a pearl in me
Not worthless, yeah I'm a diamond right
But I feel my shine only happens when the spot light is shinin' bright
I need this, it helps my soul
Without that heat that I spit, I'm left out there in the cold
Breathe easy, in and out
I know you feelin' queasy, its hard trynna figure it out
I'm only seventeen
Why am I so stressed out
Why am I so fuckin' obssesed with bein' the best out
As long as I give this my best then that's enough
If you support me, I thank you
You're the reason I can stand up
With shoulders back, and middle finger higher than my head
Write obituaries for beats, I always leave em dead
It's this talent that I have
And I'll use it all I can
Cause this mic stuff is all I really am
Without this I am nothin', but that's not somethin' you could understand
Little kid on his knees, curled hands sayin'

[Bridge]

One day I'ma be that man
One day I'ma be that man
I said, I said
One day I'ma be that man
One day, I'ma be that man

[Chorus]

And you gon hear me on the TV, radio
On the stage of packed stadiums
When you with your friends, just pop my disc in your stereo
That's all I want
That's all I need to survive
When they all hear me
I won't need no disguise

[Bridge]

One day I'ma be that man
One day I'ma be that man
I said, I said
One day I'ma be that man
One day, I'ma be that man

[Chorus]

And you gon hear me on the TV, radio
On the stage of packed stadiums
When you with your friends, just pop my disc in your stereo
That's all I want
That's all I need to survive
When I become that man
I won't need no disguise

[Verse 3]

I used to build sand castles, remember
Now I build empires, you can't enter
S.M.A.R.T, don't fuck with it
Unless you fuck with us
Grinded and came up with us
Boy I'm on my A1
But I tell you, I can't do this without my day ones
They was there when the praise started and you can bet
They gon be there when the praise done
Heart on the sleeve, so when these fucks take shots at me
They always aim wrong
I'm different
There was something in me hidden
I took it out and made this shit
Chronicles of a misfit
Don't need that cronick to make my name go down in history
Who that man, it's me
Yeah
That little kid ain't lost anymore
Watch me from the ground up
I won't be tossed to the floor
Get that penthouse
And get a big ass window
So I could look out and see
All that I did it for
