Rock L Spivey - The Choice Is Yours [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
They say the choice is yours
So are you gonna take it?
And when you at the top
Are you gon' be faking?
Man that ain't my intention
But I just wanna make it
I'm just a wide eyed young nigga
In my basement
Waiting for my break
So that I can go big
And find out if the industry
Is really bullshit
They say the choice is yours
Are you gon' let it pass?
Or are you gonna chase your dream
With everything you have?

[Verse 1]
Ayo, aye this some real shit
My moms and pops gave birth to a real gift
It didn't take me long to realize I was real sick
Now I'm tryna find my way up in this bullshit
I'm off to college tryna further my knowledge of all the problems in the world
And Ima solve em through the power of my words
But first I need a platform, to showcase my skills
I'm ill, and for this dream you damn right I'd kill
So here I am dreaming, that Ima make a killing
They say my music wack and I get all up in my feelings
Now I gotta prove myself, like its hero vs villain
And battle with the thought of me failing my life's mission
I know my life's purpose, im a human sacrifice
Yo in the past six months, I could've died like, twice
I done been through some shit that'll make you change your life
But I spit it as a warning to the people thats alike

[Hook]
They say the choice is yours
So are you gonna take it?
And when you at the top
Are you gon' be faking?
Man that ain't my intention
But I just wanna make it
I'm just a wide eyed young nigga
In my basement
Waiting for my break
So that I can go big
And find out if the industry
Is really bullshit
They say the choice is yours
Are you gonna let it pass?
Or are you gonna chase your dream
With everything you have?

[Verse 2]
A year in time passes, and I still got this passion
Production game tighter, awesome ass rapper
Also I got swagger, I know I'm leagues better
Than your favorite emcee, my genes are from Coretta
I'm a King that ain't been crowned, only cause I ain't been found
But you know a diamond's formed from the pressure underground
So I admit it now, yeah I wanna be mainstream
But I dont wanna comform I wanna spit bout the same things
Maybe the occasional party song here or there
Cause frankly I love to party, it doesn't even matter where
I'm feeling like I'm ready, see the fire in my eyes?
Well they're cooking up desire as they look up in the sky
I don't pray to God enough, but for now I need something
If I do it on my own I'll probably end up with nothing
Can't leave empty handed, I'm too far up in this shit
So now I'm going harder than a bitch

[Bridge]
Ayo I'm just a kid with passion for this rapping, making magic
On my trap shit, tryna rap with, all my idols, aiming rifles, at these rivals
Nothing personal, its just the proper protocols
If you dont feel me then you must hold a hollow heart
I write my soul on my computer screen, what if the modem paused
Got my head spinning, how it feels to be a bowling ball
So when I'm on the mic I GOTTA spit, I throw flame like a molotov
I'm King Kong as a rapper, beat my chest cause I know I'm raw

[Hook]
They say the choice is yours
So are you gonna take it?
And when you at the top
Are you gon' be faking?
Man that ain't my intention
But I just wanna make it
I'm just a wide eyed young nigga
In my basement
Waiting for my break
So that I can go big
And find out if the industry
Is really bullshit
They say the choice is yours
Are you gonna let it pass?
Or are you gonna chase your dream
With everything you have?

[Verse 3]
A few weeks ago, my whole life just flipped
Got introduced to someone inside this shit
Took me on a trip jumping studio to studio
Working on equipment that a nigga never seen before
That was the life, the one in my dreams
The one that I said, had meant everything
But its a business world, you gotta play by the rules
It takes money, to make money you gotta pay your dues
I never paid mine, ended up getting screwed
Had a show with Trinidad, but I just got removed
And how the saying goes? Money talks, bullshit walks
Its funny cause its true, so I gotta get this guap
Sell a little weed tryna make my money stack
Invest into myself and pray I make my money back
Even if I never make it yo, I'm still gonna rap
But I know I'm gonna make it with my city on my back
Though I'm just an average joe, ayo my mind, I swear it floats
Into the heavens, just long enough to steal a God's quote
And I claim it as my own, my verses are that strong
I give you my life in the form of a structured poem
Labeled a rap song, on a major platform
I know my shit'll knock tell the people "clap for him"
I can't let this opportunity pass, I'm so happy
My dream'll be accomplished when the world is staring at me
