Shad Fer - Hope [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]

This ain’t about no record deal
This ain’t about no sex appeal
Gonna get mill and gonna get my wheels
But for now I’ll need you to respect my realness
Cause that’s all it’s ever been about
But I’m playing in a game so screwed up
The losers are gonna try to count the winners out
And make a nigga doubt himself
But rap is all that I ever had
Excluding a mom,sister and dad
And two grandmas I met before they was dead
My grandfather shot a nigga and was left to rot in prison
But he came out changed his ways
Well at least a lil bit cause the minute that my grammy died
She had already been replaced,and I’m still amazed
A bishop and a pimp,I’m seeing visions of who I take after
My dad is a pastor to the lil kids ghetto and his son is a rapper
His name is Shad Fer,educated like a black actor
Student of the music but I'm not a backpacker
Where I’m from you either speaking like you selling crack
Or you acting like a cracker
Yeah it’s wack but
That’s how it is
This is how I live
A lil kid from the island,still a minor but I know I got a lot give
The amount of years,that I’ve been here on this earth,I’ve heard less laughs
Than I seen tears
I know too many niggas at that bottom
That been tryna make it out but never close to being saved
The problem is they never give god praise
Cause even when they pray tomorrow’s still hard day,it’s heartbreak

[Hook]
When life gets like this,I get lifeless
Don’t have the strength to carry on
Just fake that smile for a little while
So the lil child can be strong
So throw your hands in the air right now
Don’t exhale that smoke
Cause we gotta long way to go,long way to go,gotta burn slow just to save hope

Shooting,looting,polluting,proving that humans will never change
It’s funny how we still think getting paid
Is gonna what’s gonna get us to better days

[Verse 2]

Yo I’m still teen king,looking for a queen
Cause checking out chicks is as addicting a nicotine
I remember when was twerking was just a nigga thing
Now Miley Cyrus got the white girls living out the dreams
And they say treat me like human being
Not when you wearing them jeans
You know that hair weave ain’t in your genes
It’s alright girl,we love them things
Everybody is a little hypocritical,can’t lie,can’t lie
But women go out in the fake hair,fake breast,fake personality
And still say that men lie,but I let it slide
Cause all of them fine and ain’t nobody in our generation genuine
Cause we don’t realize that we living in the end of time
We separated,never intertwined,and I find that we making mistakes
And never learn from em cause we always think we’ll get a second time
Forget the girl that will spend her last penny when you feeling down
Everybody wanna go and get a dime,and that’s quite alright
You gonna inspire her try to be the best can be
And when she sexy with best weave,mani-pedi
You can bet that she’ll be saying that her man’s me,and she can’t cheat

[Hook]
