Ray Rashad - Shady [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Me and you were lovers and friends, but now that's ancient history
Thought we'd see forever together, guess it wasn't meant to be
Seems like all we ever do is bicker at each other
Then you became my baby's mother
As much as I don't wanna deal with you, I'm just gone keep it real with you
I swear sometimes I wish I was still with you
Only cause I want to be a part of my child's life
Treating me like I just gave up all of my rights
We laid down together for a night of passion
Clueless on what happened
Both of our world's just started crashing
Damn, and even though we separated
I'm still obligated to raise my baby
Girl I refuse to have my child sitting up here questioning, "Where my father at?
Trying to communicate but you don't never call me back
Now me and you can sit up here and beef
But in my child's life is where I want to be
I'm just saying girl, uh

[Hook]
I'm so mad at you baby
I'm so mad at you baby
Cause you've been acting crazy
And now you're acting shady
Shady, shady, shady
And even though I didn't make you my wife
That don't mean I can't be in my child's life
You're acting shady

[Verse 2]
Look, now I ain't never been the type to be a deadbeat
But I was laying up with her while we was going steady
I never told you that I didn't think I was ready
The way we broke apart was like a levy
The thought is scary that another man is raising my seed
You put your heels on the gas, exceeding the speed
My child deserve to have me around
Trying to keep me from my child, all I want to do is be around
I want my kid to be at school and I give'em surprised visits
But all you wanna do is give me supervised visits
Feel like me and my child divorced
There you go trying to put me on child support
I'm so confused cause I'm trying to get us on good terms
Send my baby money but you using it to get you a perm
I swear sometimes I just want to kick your front door down
Come in your house, come get my child because you're acting wild, uh

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Listen, this next verse might sound declarant
I'll do the right thing, I'll be the bigger parent
If you can learn to hate me you can learn to be respectful
So stop making my baby think I'm being neglectful
Do you really want your kids growing up with broken hearts?
Because you and your partner grew apart
And lying to them, telling them their daddy left
She even know that their daddy loves his kid's to death
She trying to make him suffer, but it ain't the child's fault
What y'all had was great, though the loves lost
How would you feel if your mama kept your father from you?
But when your baby grows up and makes it harder for you
And now you gotta explain how you were being selfish, deceitful, and lying
All those days and nights your baby spending crying
To make a baby, it takes two souls
So why you want to be so cold?
Damn your heart is cold, uh

[Hook]

[Outro]
Uh, and this one for the father's who got a crazy baby mama
All she want to do is sit up here and fill you with this drama
All you want to do is see your son's and your daughter's
But she's acting shady
And this one for the father's who got a crazy baby mama
All she want to do is sit up here and fill you with this drama
All you want to do is see your son's and your daughter's
But she's acting shady
Uh, and this one for the father's who got a crazy baby mama
All she want to do is sit up here and fill you with this drama
All you want to do is see your son's and your daughter's
Damn
