Telly - UGK [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

We just wanna be kings, love

[Verse: Telly]

Heart of a king, mixed with the blood of slave
This is my mix tape, this is my mix tape
One road gotta give it my all cuz success, it cannot wait
Yeah enjoy time while you're alive
And everything you say, better back up like hard drives
These hard guys be killing, and then there's a victim
I never understood how pistols get in the hands of these children
They blast off, Team Rocket, wanna be the one to stop it
And show them that there's another option, no problem
So watch this, life moves fast I'm rapping til the coffin
They wanna see why I'm the hottest topic
Well it's cuz of perfect timing, I'm deadly with the rhyming
I'm trying to be a giant in the hottest of climates
Which is the rap game, where you sell your soul or you can buy it
But all I need is God and that serves as my guidance
The reason I spit venom is cuz of that rapper from 139 and Lenox that said
The crown is still mine, cuz I drop ill rhymes
A lotta rappers talk that murder shit and couldn't kill time
Mind on success, I got tunnel vision
Ironically my living is gonna make me a killing
That was back in the days, my old rapping days
I was an ill MC, getting back to my ways

[Hook]

From the underground to surround sound, I chose one path, now I'm airbound x 2
Life is full of pain, but joy it also brings and people just change like the leaves
But when all is said and done, I know one thing
Crown is on my head, underground king

[Drew B]

I'm from a family of champions
Scale me, I'm ample and fuck my competition, I will eat that little camp he in
You couldn't sleep on me with a stampede of Ambien
And I'm going ape shit, these are monkey bars, I'm chimpanzeein'
Me and Telly, we spitting killer rap
We are two gorillas that are going for gold and won't bring silver back
I don't like fake people, put it that simply
But the game is full of fake niggas, it's minstrelsy
Fake niggas don't ride out, they are inside out
Ask them to have your back, and they just pull knives out
Talk about me when I'm not around, I come around you nod and wave
But I can't play audience to your act and your broad ways
So I went to 262 and I got all of my knives out
I put a stop to the games, had to call time out
And I told 'em I'm scattered kids, so fuck what the chatter is
I'm bad and I'm mad as a hatter, more pissed than a bladder is
The fact of the matter is, that life is a bitch and that's not a metaphor
Asking what have I met her for? I really don't get her Lord
She says she ain't a bitch, she's a gift you know you love her and you should really say it more

[Hook: Telly and Drew B]
From the underground to surround sound, I chose one path, now I'm air bound
To surround sound from the underground, I chose one path, now I'm air bound
Life is full of pain, but joy it also brings, and people just change like the leaves
But when all is said and done, we just say profound things
We just tryna be crowned, underground kings
