Paul Williams - Not As Cool As Me [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Paul Williams]

I fantasized ‘bout this when I was seventeen
Rockin’ bright white sneaks with my denim jeans
John Lennon dreams, imagining scenes
Where I pack punch like that fella from the Philippines
Fillin’ up on Jelly Beans, ‘cause I don’t give a damn
I’m nineteen with an appetite for living man
You can catch me in the living room daily
Fresher than a baby, fresh out of a lady
Ice cold veins like my name’s Rick Blaine
Uh, the very same as the Café Americain
Trends change but I remain the same ‘cause I’d
Rather be insane then to be the same
‘Cause the same is lame but I can’t be contained
You can put me in a box but I’m David Blaine
Mixed with Hannah Montanna because I can’t be tamed
Or is that Miley Cyrus? A name’s a name
I’m gonna change the game, ‘cause I run the streets
Side slash swim them when I’m in Venice. Then I
Might fly east and be slick in Greece
And then fly back west ‘cause I’m as nice as Nice
Peace. Toast to the greatest
Rapper in the room. Peanut butter is my favorite
Adding to that statement, Kraft better have made it
Time to bring the hook in like I’m lookin’ to re-bait it

[Hook]
I don’t understand why you think you’re the man when you’re not as cool as me
Giving me advice, telling me who I am. But you’re not as cool as me
So screw you dudes that are tryna kill my mood
You think you’re cool but you’re not as cool as me

Woah, I’m a semi-pro rapper so bro unless
You’re a pro then yo you’re below on the ladder. Yo I’m a
Lateral thinker, a drinker of all the Fanta. Not give a
Damn is my plan and to be the man is my mantra. I am the
Realest human being in the world right now
Sick enough to go ahead and hurl right now
Steppin’ in the streets feet hittin’ all the beats of this
Burt Bacharach track crackin’ in my speaks
Cause I don’t know the way to San Jose
But I know the way to flow and get dough every day. I
Know it’s okay to say I’m the greatest cause hey it’s the truth
Hater’s I get in the booth and rap like I ain’t got a roof
I’m still in my youth but I’m crossing goals off of my check list
Every day is Friday and every meal's breakfast and
Pauly is the bestest and everybody knows him. To
Be as cool as me you must be literally frozen. Chosen

[Hook]
