Quentin Miller - Lies (What I Live) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
You know it's like, I see y'all
And what y'all be doing, you

[Hook]
Wear disguise, tell them lies to be televised
I'd rather work a nine to five over selling my soul
Chasing fame, tryna see yourself among the stars
I'd rather chase this fucking paper over chasing these hoes
That's what I live now, that's what I live
You rap about it but that's what I live
That's what I live, boy, that's what I live

[Verse 1]
Being broke ain't an option where there's mouths to feed
Y'all can be hand-out, on your ass, Christopher Reeves
Too bad I think differently
I guess y'all quote-on-quote "different" rappers ain't different as me
On your Twitter page sneak dissing at me
Look at how difficult it's gonna be
I done seen what it's like to get rich off your dream then lose it all
You can have the game, I'm through with y'all
I'm moving on, don't try me though
You've been warned, Quentin Miller, I'll check to that
These niggas can't hold me back
Five-O, X two, you rapping dudes, I don't get you
Cause niggas'll sell their soul for some clothes and Versace gold
Niggas ain't got goals when they shoot them viral videos
World been cold, I just finally threw my sweater on
Damn

[Hook]
Wear disguise, tell them lies to be televised
I'd rather work a nine to five over selling my soul
Chasing fame, tryna see yourself among the stars
I'd rather chase this fucking paper over chasing these hoes
That's what I live now, that's what I live
You rap about it but that's what I live
That's what I live, boy, that's what I live

[Verse 2]
Daughter on the way, I got dreams but that don't fill her plate
What's that shit you say?
If it ain't about money, it don't apply to me
Tryna get rich off writtens just like tickets from the lottery
One in a billion chance you win, daddy tryna drive new Benz
Apologies in order to Maddy, my daughter
I just wanna see you brought up better than I was brought up
I just hope that I could show you, you can be anything you wanna
Without misleading persona, I'm working on it
