Nikki Lynette - My Reputation [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
You can't please everybody none of the time
If they wanna judge its their problem not mine
When all your money comes and goes they'll say their goodbyes
They'll love you and they'll leave u after sucking you dry
That's right. Hey, I'm opinionated
Got heavy thoughts so my words are weighted
My words don't wait for no approval rate
So I speak my mind & they love to hate it
Man, you could be living in wealth
A billion records sold 40 plaques on the shelf
They'd still say you ain't as great as somebody else
So if you wanna feel the love u gotta do it yourself
I don't wanna fight a war I didn't sign up for
Scared to hold somebody hand cuz they might call me a whore
When I'm in a fashion show soon as I walk out my door
I learned to talk less, my middle finger says more, so No
I don't care, what fo? Everything they think of me I thought it before
And then I said it wasn't so, I ain't gonna play the role dont like it
On your mark then
Ready Set... GO!

[Hook]
There ain't no point in trying, you can't please everyone
If they wanna hate then let them have their fun
They'll love you and they'll leave you just as fast as they come
So why should I care about
My reputation? (4x)
So why should I care about my reputation?

[Verse 2]
Ummm...so what you're telling me is. I should care you disagree with the way that I live
Hang my head in shame, maybe go and repent
Say a couple hail marries, & start over again
Instead of a homegirl I wish I was a homie
If I was a homie I could say that you dont know me approaching me so boldy
I feel that you have wronged me
Then I'd grab my manhood & tell you to blow me
That's right, I'm a bit precocious
A little intellectual, a lot of ferocious
I'll hurt your feelings, Let it be stated
You don't believe me, go ask every dude I ever dated
Look what you created, Now I'm feeling jaded
Shoulda ate your words before the beef got plated
Shoulda took yo statement back before you ever made it
Let's finish where we started, instant replay it

[Hook]
You can't please everybody none of the time
If they wanna judge it's their problem not mine
When all your money comes and goes they'll say their goodbyes
They'll love you and they'll leave you after sucking you dry
There ain't no point in trying, you can't please everyone
If they wanna hate me then let them have their fun
They'll love you and they'll leave you just as fast as they come
So why should I care about my reputation?
