Perry - Speak [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Perry]

Ay!
From a country where hip hop don't got the recognition
It's supposed to be survival of the fittest
Naah! More like fuck hip hop
Cos mum don't like it and dad detest it
Pass your test you wanna do music
And you couldn't say shit
It's Africa so what you gon do
Go contuary they gon whoop your ass
Take your chance
From nine to five
It's just work the math
And no time for bed and no time for pads and no time for pads
I cut school to mic record
And in my report, an A student
Don't like school, gotta stay stupid
To stay grinding, that is bliss
And the blisters in my palm show
How hard I work just so you know
So fuck you if you hate me
On second thought, I don't give a fuck
So Imma take that back and save it for your bitch

Damn it Tamacki, my dad taught me better
I'm not supposed to curse

[Verse 2: Perry]

Ay!
Living life, living life, I'm soo fine
Rap tight, rap tight, I do fine
For a homie to give a listen
With no intention of a promotion
Cos they've got favourites in another land
Like J. Cole or K. Dot
Cos they're hot and I'm not
Imma ask you this, Real quick
Do you ride for me homie?
Like forget them and follow me?
Just cos they're big and got plenty of fans
I probably got none
Well one and that's me
And a homie got the guts to tell me
I've gotta put my shit on a afrobeat
Did once, don't feel right
I'm past that, Imma stick with this
Even if it don't sell, I'm henchman till I die
Fuck with hip hop till I die
It's the genre that I like
Mum I'm sorry that I lied
Gotta stay hungry so you could tell me
I can rap or criticize me
And don't buy my shit
Go download it, It's free online
Y'all killing me, Y'all killing me

No doubt about it, Yo T-mack

Uh Perry man I see you got this shit man
You're always keeping it hundred
Lemme take it from here

[Verse 3: Tamacki]

Yeah! Perry told me that he wanted this
So I had to get that bus straight so we make the hit
Growing up I never thought that I'm gon be the shit
I guess God always had a way to make me fit
Stay focused, but now they tryna fuck us
And now they tryna fame us
Cos we be getting famous
It's like that nigga Amos
Who's always tryna aim us
Always put the blame on us
Truth is they never loved us
Like Jack and Jill, I'm going up the hill to get my game
I've got a girl and I swear she's the only one I lay
I'm tryna bolt these niggas while I'm standing in my lane
I'm tryna be a hero who's got no Lois Lane
Shout out to my nigga Tory
I pray you get more glory
Cos life is such a journey
Hope you live long to tell the story
And same goes to my homies
And those who be supporting
I just pray when I'm gone I'd be worth your memory

[Hook: Tamacki]

I pray, I pray
Swear to God
I pray, I pray
Get on my knees
I do this everyday
I pray, I pray
I pray, I pray
Yeah
I pray, I pray
Swear to God
I pray, I pray
Get on my knees
I do this everyday
I pray I make it everyday
