Shelem - Get It Like [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook] x 2

I been out here tryna get it like
I been out here tryna get it like
Get it like

Pedal to the metal I'm a rebel
Never settle for my level
Get my bread up for a better life

I been out here tryna get it like
I been out here tryna get it like
Get it like

The only way to win is if you finish
I been sprintin for a minute
Gotta get in where you fit in right


[Verse 1]

Penny for your thoughts? I need about 5
Cause I'm a real nickel 'til the day that I die
That I display in my eye
Conveying a mind that cannot be swayed to the side

Slave to my pride
Wade through the tide
Wait for the day I can say I'm the greatest alive
Straight to the face the guy who denied me a taste of the pie

I been gettin live in the dead of night
Future lookin brighter than a set of lights
And the day that imma let up
When Gehenna freezes over and the devil rockin hella ice

Sometimes when I speak I hear my brother
Mama always told me and Ced alike
But John & I don't think so different
We both on this frickin mission
Tryna get this cheddar up and live a better life


[Hook]


[Verse 2]

Youngin I been out here tryna get paid
Couldn't make the cut, it was time to switch blades
Not the type to let the difficulty of it dissuade
Comin for the ice cream this game
Lookin like a lick aye

Aye

See the fakin comin every which way
You could drown in all the nonsense, it's a pretty big wave
But these people shallow you don't need to swim so just wade
Just wait

On it
All you gotta do is want it
The rest is easy it just takes a lot of grindin
If you put the time in you'll be shinin
Trust that God has perfect timing nigga I been

Tryna make a killin
If them peoples catch imma get a sentence
Only time the talk to us niggas willin-
Ly if you own the buildin, you get to shit on all the tenants

Thought it was over when they gave us independence
But December 6th was not July 4th
It's not important cause we didn't win a war
They don't respect you if you don't take it by force

But maybe I'm just reachin
I apologize for preachin
I just hate when niggas make excuses
For be in useless
Even with this crooked system you can do it
Imma prove it watch

[Hook] x 2
