Mr. Fritz - The Growth [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Sometimes you gotta know when to let go...
Nothing lasts forever, right?...
What's past is past...

They be like...damn Fritz, you use to wile with ya niggas...

(Verse 1)
They be like...damn Fritz, you used to wile with ya niggas/
Now you got the nerve to smile in your pictures/
Saying you done switched up/
Got a different style in your stance/
Like it's cool when you're struggling, but it's time to advance/
This wasn't in the plans...now I'm closer to 30/
Than I thought I'd ever be, and honestly I was worried/
That life was passing me by with every blunt and every bottle/
Not saying those nights was wasted, but I'm looking at tomorrow/
Got love for all my niggas like y'all don't even know/
So I'm writing this from the heart, cause it's the best way to show/
That despite how we grew apart, y'all always stay on my mind/
And I got you with any fortune I should happen to find/
But I...long for a better way of living, a given/
If I stay on this path, it's either death or prison, forgive him/
If I don't come around no more...hope you understand/
It's nothing personal, y'all niggas still my fam...
But I gotta grow

(Chorus background-Last Days)
I love my niggas that's why I never put money up above my niggas (2x)

(Chorus)
Yo, all that blunt smoking and drinking and shit...that was cool when we was youngins, but...I can't be on the same shit a dacade later and another decade pass and niggas is broke

That shit's not nice

I'm just doing what I gotta do to progress so that one day I could progress so that one day we could progress, you know what I'm saying?

(Verse 2)
Circumstances brought us together, life pulled us apart/
We were brothers from different mothers and been down from the start/
Ain't no pussy, money or reefer worth the struggles we shared/
Any issues or altercations, niggas knew I was there/
The Lord gave me ambition as a gift and a curse/
And it drives me to put in work, see what my lyrics are worth/
So while I'd love to sip liquors and crack jokes with my friends/
My biggest fear is reminiscing bout what could've been/
I love my niggas to death...but improving my life/
Is my priority, you know it and the feeling is trife/
If I succeed then it's worth it, and if I don't then I'm worthless/
And I know I ain't perfect, but for my niggas it's certain/
I'm...25 with a dream to see the world/
And inspire all the boys and girls/
Used to be for all the drinking and the smoke/
But I'm older now, love y'all but we both/
Know I gotta grow

Yeah, one love to my nigga Keem you already know what it is
My nigga T, Chug Beans, Jigga
Blacka, hope you touch down one of these days, niggas miss you
My nigga Red, I know you don't fuck with me, but I fucks with you
My nigga Rowe...you know you can't ball with me, but you could try
I love all my niggas, my nigga Grimes you a funny ass nigga, but I fucks with you
Love all my niggas

And don't get it twisted, neither I ain't forget about y'all it's just
I got an opportunity I gotta chase...
So I chase it...
