Shelton Harris - Put Me On [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Okay it started with a dream
That dream turned to a vision
That vision had a gleam
That gleam is now realistic
My friends are beefing now
Like why you acting distant?
I swore all you love is music and ain't got no time to kick it
I ain't budging, I ain't budging
From nothing into something
Put my money under fam and my family under nothing
I do it cuz I love it
So fuck that dotted line
Know that if I ever sign, they ain't taking nothing from me
Started from the bottom but we racing to the top
And we never ever sleep but got dreams of getting on
At times its looking hard but you know we'll never stop
Now we do it for these fans cuz these fans are all we got
Though we ain't in this alone, we thankful for your help
I'm rapping heavyweight and reaching for that belt
This musics for the kids looking deeper than the wealth
I ain't got no record deal, I mail these CD's out myself

They told me kill it, kill it
So I did it, did it
And now I spit it, spit it
Until they feel it, feel it
And I ain't stopping, stopping
Til I get it, get it
And yo I'm grateful for all you that put me up in this building
And so it's

You, you that put me on (You put me on)
I said its you, you that put me on (You hold me down)
I said its you, you that put me on (You're why I'm here)
I said its you, you that put me on
You're the reason that I do it
I said its you, you that put me on (You put me on)
I said its you, you that put me on (You hold me down)
I said its you, you that put me on (You're why I'm here)
I said its you, you that put me on (You put me on)

Man I feel its hella crazy when everybody's changing
Looking back thinking to yourself that you're the one that made it
After life, after struggle
The pieces to the puzzle start to fit
Hope that base you built for me should never buckle
This is ambition, this is passion
I can't even imagine how it feels when that very thing you wished is what you havin'
A mansion for my fam, a new whip for mother
Fly my grandma out to Paris just to show her that I love her
This is just a little piece of everything that I've envisioned
I hide behind these bars, this industry's a prison
They try to ask me questions: is it really worth the fame?
I ain't sure, my answer is to get it how you live it
So I fight for the right to be stronger than God
And you can't put a price on a dream to amount
Could amount to the love that you get from a crowd
And my rap is a flame that you can't put it out
So thank you for everything you gave me
Cuz it made me what I am
And that's nothing short of greatness

They told me kill it, kill it
So I did it, did it
And now I spit it, spit it
Until they feel it, feel it
And I ain't stopping, stopping
Til I get it, get it
And yo I'm grateful for all you that put me up in this building
And so it's

You, you that put me on (You put me on)
I said its you, you that put me on (You hold me down)
I said its you, you that put me on (You're why I'm here)
I said its you, you that put me on
You're the reason that I do it
I said its you, you that put me on (You put me on)
I said its you, you that put me on (You hold me down)
I said its you, you that put me on (You're why I'm here)
I said its you, you that put me on (You put me on)

It started with a dream
That dream turned to a vision
That vision had a gleam
That gleam is now realistic
This music's from the heart
No feeling could replace it
Cuz we do this on our own
And I hope that never changes

But it's you, you that put me on (You put me on)
I said its you, you that put me on (You hold me down)
I said its you, you that put me on (You're why I'm here)
I said its you, you that put me on
You're the reason that I do it
I said its you, you that put me on (You put me on)
I said its you, you that put me on (You hold me down)
I said its you, you that put me on (You're why I'm here)
I said its you, you that put me on (You put me on)
