Nicky Jay - Look Alive [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[HOOK: The Rocket Summer]

Stop the press, everything's a mess
You can look alive but you are not at rest
And i-ideas are flowing through your head
A million miles an hour while lying in your bed
A lucid life you never thought you'd lead
Are you working everyday?
Are you working just to bleed?
I know [x5]

[Verse 1: Nicky Jay]

Another 2 AM up trapped up inside of my thoughts/
I'm, Barely aware I'm stuck in space like astronauts/
What does it take for you people to stop and stare/
I been speaking my mind for the longest but nobody really seems to care/
All the stupid people getting famous and I'm still here/
When am I gonna have my chance when am I gonna be up next/
When am I gonna get that phone call when am I gonna get that text/
Cause I haven't slept and I don't plan on getting any rest/
I'm not resting till all my goals are met/
I know I sound arrogant when I say I'm the one and I'm the best/
But my music ain't nothing with out a fan base/
I ain't going nowhere if I'm stuck in the same place/
If you feel me then you should support/
Cause my music is my life even if my life gets cut short/
I got so many ideas running through my mind/
Its just unbelievable I haven't been signed/
I'm underrated and unsigned//

[HOOK]

Everybody getting they moment and I'm still being patient/
Competition ain't even competition no more they hating/
Everybody talking yea they got me contemplating/
I'm thinking its time to make a move and start eliminating/
Fuck it if I'm solo I can be my own army/
If I say anything offensive and vulgar I'm not sorry/
Music is my life what you doing is just a hobby/
Everything I say in my raps is real talk and I really do it/
Don't ever confuse me with these dumb rappers that sound foolish/
Everything can change at the drop of a dime/
I be focusing on everything from instrumentals to rhymes/
I be up late at night just writing these raps/
For every hole made by these trash rappers I'm filling in the gaps/
They gonna see I'm different and I stand out/
Cause all I know is doubt/
But everything is changing for the better on a different route/
Im always in the studio while you chillin up on ya couch//

[HOOK: The Rocket Summer]

Stop the press, everything's a mess
You can look alive, but you are not at rest
And i-ideas are flowing through your head
A million miles an hour while lying in your bed
A lucid life you never thought you'd lead
Are you working everyday?
Are you working just to bleed?
