Rep Epic - Instead of Me [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Bill Cosby Sample:
"...The same dream. She was running backwards, and I was chasing her"

Verse 1:
I've been spending time just analyzing human behavior
Because the bitter taste of heartache ain't exactly my most favorite flavor
But I'm stubborn, explains these rug burns. My knees are covered
Friction with the fiction of us being lovers

But you won't stop me. You love the thought of me
You love my heart but just far apart, and that's what's haunting
And even though I'm rotting, you'll never toss me in the trash
Despite the fact that you won't admit that you need my ass

So here I am - Pissing a take
Contemplating if I'm capable of making your mind change
Or maybe you can just keep the change
And walk away with something more than before me ever showing my face

But girl please, spare me the slow dance
I've got so much more going for me than a few failed romances

But you know emotions...
You can't get the goddamn things to stop focusing
On the bogus that leaves you fucking broken

But it was that choking that helped me embrace breathe
As hard as it was to watch her hop on a friend -
So easily, despite not wanting an ounce of sympathy
You still fucking tease me, seeing you two gets me cringing

But I'm giving you the obligated clearance
A grasp on a friendship, ingurgitating this experience
I'm digesting the bullshit and absorbing the nutrients
But don't think I'm not new to this

[Chorus]
...Ahhhhhh

Still Independent, and that's how you ended it
Still offended, that you went and chose a friend
Instead of me. Instead of me

X2


Verse 2:
Time was the best healer, but time would never heal it all
Especially when they were undressing on the bed wrestling on just the opposite side of the wall
But I cozied up in the luxury of rock bottom
Compression against the cement, my roots and stems had not a bit of room to blossom

So I tossed em, and lost em, so they could be found
The perfect way to resurface it, and refertilize the ground
And used the clouds the past attracted like magnets
I glued back my fragments, that were once pryed apart
Just thirsted for some patience

And precipitation. And god forbid some music in the makin'
In the 10,000 lakes, and Wisconsin for some education

But let's avoid the specifics
Cause misery's got a weird way of mixin', when you can relate to the bitchin'

[Chorus x2]

La da da, da da da da, da da da
La da da, da da da da, da da da
Instead of me, Instead of me

(Record Scratches) - Pryed Apart


(Bill Cosby Sample)
"And created what is called... WOOman
Now, why is a "WO" in front of a man to describe this human being, I don't know I thought about it and thought about it, and the closest I could get to it is that God after creating woman, saw her body... and said WOO! MAN!"
