Nate Sylvan - Payback [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
I know- I know every- I know everybody asked me the question, they wanted to know “What, I know he’s gon' wil’ out, I know he’s gon' do something crazy!” Everybody wanted to know what I would do if I didn’t win… I guess we’ll never know

[Verse 1]
I woke up on the right side of the bed
Pandora playing my song, and I’m getting new rhymes in my head
Cranberry cocktail long on the rocks with the pineapple, yeah
I think I’m gonna cruise up the block anybody wanna rhyme with your man?
Wanna kick a few rhymes with your man?
I remember almost failing class
Teacher writing on my test “nice lyrics, but where’s the math?"
I couldn’t focus I was dumb stressed
Too busy looking at the honey in the sundress
Body hotter than the sun gets
I’m obsessed with beats with a success complex
I ain’t worried ‘cause I’m on next
I’m just living for the summer night time
Sipping on the white wine in the hot tub, keep it low key
I won't stop writing the rhymes that are up in my mind
’Til the whole rap game knows me, and they will know me
Man you better believe, that this young MC
Is gonna cause envy, so place your bets homie watch the screen
I’ll get you back if you put you money on me

[Hook]
Man this shit’s payback
Everyone who doubted I would blow man the list goes way back
They couldn’t see the shimmering gleam of the needle in the haystack
Controlling the wheel of fortune like Pat Sajak, no I don’t play that
[2x]

[Verse 2]
Shorty attracted to my cologne, she wanna crack the Armani code
Trying to do the impossible, cause my mind is too much of an obstacle
I’m getting with women dressing in feminine linen
I got a mistress in Venice, so could you give me a minute
While I diminish her fitness, but when I’m done I mean business
I heard the gun now I’m in it I plan to run through the finish
More than a rapper ‘cause a menace, treat the game like it’s tennis
The way I’m serving every sentence, simply rapper repentance
I’m the best in the world, should probably call Guinness
Man try to copy my flow and that’ll send you to the dentist
So high I’m never falling
I know your hand, your poker face is appalling
So damn it I’m calling your raise man I’m all in
Way that I’m ballin’ I’m palming a Spaulding
Way that I’m a monster is more than appalling
My fantasy is dark but my vision is bright
I've been lost in the world blinded by all of the lights, and
The power of gorgeous women it’s a hell of a life
I’m rapping till my parents never work again
They gave me life so it’s time for me to make amends
If a Bugati’s the bed, I’ll stay awake a min
Because a stadium is what I wanna wake up in
I’m here, ‘till the feds take me in
I fear nothing but the fate of men
So let’s cheers, to knowing shit deep within
I’ll pretend that I was shocked when I take the win
If you showing me love then much obliged
You can be there flying with me when I touch the sky
And anybody who was doubting me can watch the rise
They ‘gon look surprised when I’m yelling out

[Hook]
Man, this shit’s payback
Everyone who doubted I would blow man the list goes way back
They couldn’t see the shimmering gleam of the needle in the haystack
Controlling the wheel of fortune like Pat Sajak, no I don’t play that
[2x]

[Outro]
When I had my accident, I found out in that moment, nothing in life is promised except death. If you have the opportunity to play this game of life, you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don’t appreciate their moment until it’s passed. But um… Right now it’s my time, and my moment, thanks to the fans, thanks to the accident, thanks to God, thanks to Roc-A-Fella, Jay-Z, Dame Dash, G, my mother, Rhyme Fest, everyone that's helped me, and I plan, I plan to celebrate. I plan to celebrate, and scream, and pop champagne every chance I get, ‘cause I’m at the Grammy’s baby!
