Rashad & Confidence - Shining [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
While the sun still shining you know I'm still rising
Always elevating non-stop still climbing
Trying to see this life for everything that it's worth
And bring reality to every word that I pen in this verse

[Verse 1]
So what's the future for this young man here that's trying to live
Is it cars, is it cribs? Or maybe a wife and kids
I don't know, but right now it's looking kind of bleach
Just thinking about the future deprives my eyes in sleep
And the world got me feeling like my dreams are obsolete
But I just wanna rhyme and drop product for the street
Maybe collect a little bread and fill my pockets to the peak
To forever stay hungry is the promise I'mma keep
But I really ain't got no choice when I'm out here trying to eat
You know the feeling when you got desires and needs
The 9 to 5 don't seem to keep you satisfied and pleased
But regardless I'm still thanking God up on my knees
Reading the book of psalms just to put my thoughts at ease
I hope I get to see the fulfillment of all my dreams
Like retiring my moms on an island across seas
Copping a crib and handing her brand new car keys
It's deeper than me just writing bars to palm G's
I wanna hear my name called among those Grammy nominees
With them saying: 'Rashad, could you accept this award, please?'
But who knows? In the meantime

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Too many years gone by, I never formed a plan of action
But this year guaranteed I'm about to make it happen
I'm chasing every vision that's ingrained in my mind
I spent a lot of years living in vain wasting my time
Focused on impregnating dimes instead of displaying rhymes
But now I'm more concentrated on filling these pages' lines
Racing with the clock, but the time keeps passing me
Moms asking me: 'When you gon' get a Bachelors degree?'
Cause I'm miles away and she thinks I'm pursuing college
But in reality all I've been pursuing is dollars
I'm not against having riches and wisdom and knowledge
But what's the point when you leave materially in poovage
Not following my dreams is killing my conscious
But not following this cream is killin my pockets
And yeah, lack of funds can handle your progress
When you wanna see your plans be fulfilled and accomplished
But right now class attendance is plan B
I never thought school'll be the path for me to live lavishly
If music don't work, then I'mma finish those semesters
Take notes during my lectures and flirt with the professors
Plead all my credits and then prolly sign major
But even with a degree I'm still not guaranteed paper
And to be honest it's not about the money at all
I'm trying to live my destiny before my number is called
Plus pursue every passion that I had in my life
With your words around a beat plus a pad and a mic
Let's make it happen

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Ayo, hardships and hurdles got me zoning out fantasizing
On better days when I'm established sittin back reclining
Capitalizing of the time that's at hand
Laying a foundation down upon which I can stand
A civil man trying to make it inside a sinful plan
Living out my vision 'til every hair is grey by every single strand
Conceal my plans so cats don't know my next move
Turning my stumbling blocks into stepping stools
Never regret any decision I select or choose
Inspired by those that expect me to lose
The results of something only the hands of time could tell and prove
But jealous dudes won't try to stop me getting revenue
Of making music that bangs at high decibels
This life ain't forever, so I'm taking every chance I get
Making sure that every deadline on my plans are met
And leave a mark on this planet that y'all can't forget

[Hook]
