Shawn May - Dear Kendrick [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Mr. Lamar I'm writin you up this letter
To let you know that this generation can do better
They never wanna listen to a kid like me
So I think I need advice from the big OG
When you made OD, you opened my mind
You helped me become the greatest rapper in our time
I'm ready to take the torch
With Shai in my cohort
Black Hippy and Indigo
A combination of sorts
This low quality shit is gettin' on my nerves
But this is all I got while I'm riding these bumps and curves
I'm splurging on these lyrics
Its burning deep in my spirit
I'm just a guy wit might, just without the quirky appearance
When I listened to good kid, it got burned in my mental
No wonder why a nigga keep using your instrumentals
I'm in school rapping, they say I sound like you
It's only cuz I spit about shit that's really true
And the truth hurts, you should already know
IPhone recording, instantaneous flow
I remember when a nigga used to be rappin' slow
You done changed the game for me
Now I'm ready to go

[Hook]
Dear Kendrick
Dear Kendrick
Dear Kendrick
Dear Kendrick

[Verse 2]
I'm steady scarin' kids when I'm writing these rhymes
Your lyrics scared me quite plenty a time
Irrefutable, everyday I would get outta line
When other niggas dissed you, I done lost my mind
Everybody talkin bout who the best lyricist
Me, you, Shai, J.Cole, picture it
Don't forget about Chance, a nigga takin his chances
I'm still steady rappin while under these circumstances
Well hopefully we can work together
Spit some dope ass shit without standin' in weather
I'ma stay rappin forever
Shit, excuse my kiddy vibe
It hasn't died yet, so them niggas can realize
That I'm still young
But I'm never dumb

But I'm never dumb

Sincerely
Shawn May
