Nik Bates - Selling Mixtapes [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Nik Bates]
Surviving in a Cali summer heatwave
Driving on the freeway, Jean Grae on replay
In the seat space, stacked up beat tapes
Never selling them for cheap because we need pay

[Rio Grande]
That could be the keys to paradise
Or at least Hollywood, the heaven to fair lives
From the Devil's workshop come and cop these hot tapes
And press play, that's perfection to appetites

[Nik Bates]
Dropped off on the corner of Melrose
Talking to the dude with the shelltoes
"Hell no, if hell froze then I would cop your episodes"
I can’t believe that you would even sell those

[Rio Grande]
Take these we could trip across the world
Perform for blocks, make with lip glossed girls
Getting twisted and swirled, a lifestyle few could have
Beat making and these raps are taking us up the path

[Nik Bates]
We rhyming and stealing. Good timing, you speechless
Your lines is so decent that mine leave you weakened
So buy this EP in the Time of the Season
These Zombies keep eating, So try to keep peace and

[Rio Grande]
Stay calm, hit your haze from the bong
My rhymes will rip lies like peace could break a bomb
In life we still high, Bombay when its dawn
Taking nothing for granted cause in a second its gone

[Nik Bates]
Nah, we still here
Round of applause when we spill tears
Look at Nik Bates, cause he will seer
Suckers, who ain't so lucky that we near

[Rio Grande]
From the lab to running shows, running shows to gunning hoes
It's something that you should know, the treble's thumping, the bass blows
We function off rum and coke, we're hunting for all the hope
On stage with ladies jumping out of their clothes

[Nik Bates]
I choose to fight you, light you with Raichu
We write nice grooves for your iTunes
I might move, right through your typhoons
And rise to Long Beach to make the right moves

[Rio Grande]
3:42 we're rhyming by Venice Beach
It's the menaces wearing Supreme teaching what we preach
On mixtapes with beats angled to hit your feet
Rising up like the waves the bass leaving your ears in ease

[Nik Bates]
What you would say? Damn man no way?!
Hoes pay to tuck your whole cane in their throat space?
I stay broke paid, getting cold rays
From the sun, cause in a month, we seeing both ways

[Rio Grande]
But not for long, we'll be dropping the songs
While they copping their bongs, god forbid them to stay calm
How ironic? Nik this time I think
I swapped our rhymes out with a couple potent atomic bombs

[Nik Bates]
Booming, -ploding, shaking the room
In Inglewood we be making your tomb
Have a nice dream when you sleeping on the dude
Creeping up on you, Filet-O-Rapper, my food

[Rio Grande]
Quit spending time judging on the tape
A couple dollars ain't bad, we're buzzing to get great
This doesnt amount to hate, and wasn't a sack of grape
Cash here, you'll hear the loving sounds of grace

[Nik Bates]
Fuck it, we’ll just give it out for free
Cause I just want to hear my sounds in the streets
I’m down in the Beach, lounge in the seat
Hear the crowd and they scream, when they bounce to the beat
