Telly - Holdin You Down [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse: Telly]

Sitting on the train or walking in the rain
When the pen hit the pad, it's like a beam and a gauge
Acting out in school, my dad was to blame
He wasn't a man so I had to take his place
Man of the house before I turn
These dudes getting mad cuz they can't jock the slang
Concepts on point, flow ain't the same
I never drop the ball like a pinball game
Enemies get eradicated even with the imagery
The crux of the matter, we ain't the same like symmetry
Invisibly infiltrating opposite guidelines
1800 flow, I got hot lines
Real talk, I don't gotta go in cuz I'm number one like Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen
Rin Tin Tin, it's a classic dog
Switch up the style, no more G-Shocks
Maybe a casio, maybe I will go
To the Congo, flow cold I'm abominable
Act ridic so my life, they chronicle
Can't see me, no need for monocles
Angels on my side, so I'm heaven sent
So stay right not left and repent
Competition, they bent cuz we bury em like the 56th element

[Verse: LethaL FLo]

Sitting here chilling, real world approaching in a couple months
Lyrical guru and I'm just one of the bunch
Just having fun, blessed to be in this position
On my way to success, but under different conditions
I got a mission, I'll explain so pay attention
There's more to life than riches, money, ad hoc like hair extensions
For as long as I'm living, you spitting like tradition
Music keeps my heart beating when I'm feeling defeated, mistreated
Best with the flo so feel free to call me LethaL
16 bars and your hook which means you're handless but gleeful
Music burning thru my soul, fire lungs
I took the loop from the first beat and took up the snare drums
Back to the point, I'm on my way no detour
Don't expect to get praise for every single thing I work for
Achieve it, staying humble leader because the time's right
Family overall but for some, this view is hindsight
It's my time, with or without the spot light
Tryna make my momma proud, she deserves it, it's been a long fight
Never slowing down, catch me if you can
Change the world one day at a time with the mic in my hand

[Verse: Telly]

Ayo my mind sees through your design like Blind Fury
When I put you in that big old house, momma, don't worry
With these words that I connect
Kinetic energy becauseI'm always on the move writing bars, crafting similes
Give up? I never heard of that
Cuz I drop heat like I'm lowering the thermostat
Ever since she died, I want a Grammy for my grammy and my brother and my sister and my mammy
Check it, you try to be the bigger man
But people don't get the big pic unless it's instagram
So be yourself, homie, and do your thing
And listen to the angels when they start to sing
Proposed to music, gave her a ring
She gave me her heart, so when my pen bleeds tempt me
You can catch me on the moon stoned, I'm Nidoking
