Speed on the Beat - Good Feeling to Know (Flawless) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro One: Al Sanders Commercial Break]
"...Baltimore gives me a special insight into what's happening. So...I can not only report the facts and figures, but how the news will impact your life. That comes natural..."
[Intro Two: Speed on the Beat over "Good Feeling to Know" piano intro]
This is a Baltimore Commercial Break, brought to you by Speed on the Beat
Alright, I know...it sounds kind of corny. But, just stick with me for another three, four, five seconds, maybe? Let it kick in!
(Beat Switches)
[Intro Three: Commercial Break]
"All six pieces, just $599. FURNITURE CONNECT--ION!!"

[Verse One: Speed on the Beat]
Death of the King, rebirth of the Savior
Intellectual property, owned by Mister Speed on the Beat, me
You can't sample what I'm pitching! Ain't trying to kill the fiends
Before the album that I'm working on's through simmering
And it's been too long since I've been in this spot...
Been too strong a feeling to just go throw away
So let's cut out the bull, no Pamplona
And break this thing open again...I'll wait
I been here for over 15 years. Ain't even thirty yet
Been grinding hella hard, hope you taste the blood and sweat
And tears from fears rendered useless by the dreams and career
Pretenders dropped from spots when I came back on the scene
I said it back in the day, nobody heard me. But'll never taste defeat
I'm destined for bigger things, I'm a king for real. Comprehend me?
If not, go back and rewind the trilogy
I'm not just saying I've been through hell to be where I'm at see (Whoo!)

[Chorus: Speed on the Beat]
They probably think I'm selling out
But I'm just selling out every time that I open my mouth
They have never heard me like this...
Happy, motivated and focused, in control of the motions
They probably think I'm losing it...
The only thing I'm losing is the weight once on my shoulders
They probably think I fell off
But it's a good feeling to know, that the King stay flawless

[Verse Two: Speed on the Beat]
Returned from ashes, the bastard. But glory surrounds the King
Destined to be here, designed for finer things like China
In the ring, you'll be broken...when I deplete
Energy from spinal cords and drink blood of enemies
Sorry for gruesome imagery, promise I got the mentality
Down pat...put it on my Ravens and Orioles hat
And even though some of the women'd rather see me creased
And the rappers I put down, they'd rather see me cease
I stand tall, above all. Bounce back, but I don't ball
My budget's built for bigger things, like projecting all of the...
Problems of our class, for the world to see
Now that's what you call using your noggin
Take what you have, to make what you want
I want change, I have some change. NOW, we're able to talk
It feels good, that I'm lucky. Better yet, man i'm blessed
Now go head and bring the chorus in and the bridge (Whoo!)

[Chorus over bridge]
[Bridge: Ron Smith thoughts over Circa 1988 WBAL News intro]
"A confession: I've NEVER been able to keep my mouth shut. If I see something that seems important, I can't keep it to myself. This makes me incapable of being a good 'corporate citizen,' and ensures that I'm seen as a pain-in-the-ass by authority figures. It took years to figure out how to overcome this characteristic enough to stay employed and make a living"

[Verse Three: Speed on the Beat]
There're old friends and new friends, but no moving to Cleveland
Because Once Upon a Time, SOTB!!! was ready to leave and
Never return...lock myself into a pine box
But, on the real? I realized that all that BS had to stop
I told 'Kel, I told True. I told Dre and Jovanni
But, most importantly? I had to believe it myself
That in order to achieve all that I've dreamed
I needed to first find what could make me happy
Less angst and gloom, more reflection of the past
Less songs for women, less floundering in the aftermath
Of catastrophic events...beyond belief
And no more DUI charges, nolle prossed, erase, delete
A new Speed, probably back in counseling
Cause this mental illness? A -- and I wanna put that -- to sleep
I wanna kill the game, so I can't keep pausing when this gets deep
To become that better man, there're some things in front of me...

[Chorus]

[Outro: Commercial Break]
"...really don't see a Shop-Vac dry vacuum for $49 and a Hunters Set-and-Save thermostat for $19
...Better go to Hechinger."
