The Boy Illinois - 1818 [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: The Boy Illinois]
Look
Paper plates with meals on 'em, we travel globes
I never hate, I build with 'em, we had our own
So respect it and check, because we found nations
Gave to our own charity and foundations
Built it from the ground up, now every day we count up
And if it's negative energy, then don't bring it 'round us
Mary J. in my pipe, and then I get my matches
So my slippers go where my smoking jacket
Third eye open, that's my seventh sense
Gave my opinion, I always added my second cent
So everywhere we go now, them people listen close now
And no real names, we too used to using pronouns
We speak our own language, you would think it's code
A nigga sick, it's kinda hard to speak with colds
So I don't talk much, that's til I see a reaper
That white-collar crime cleaner than my gym sneaker
Get my measurements taken, and my suit tailored
We do loyal, we don't have to favors
My mantra and whole steez is get the money
But I was listenin' to Harry Belafonte
Speak on it from a social aspect
My youngins in the streets with them go-go gadgets
That's one of the many facets
Stuntin' in this fashion, in front of these fascists
So I never had no PayPal problems
If you shippin' Senate to the House, like Congress
I was lost til I found out the process
She a bitch until you get her out her prom dress
I'm goin' all in
I got a couple angels and some blue demons
But these are poor sins
Outgoing, guess this my calling
But keep it silent, because the wall's thin
No one was there when we was clippin' coupons
I don't trust a soul, kinda scared to put my shoes on
You either gang-banged or you Neutroned
Start a revolution, fuck the institution
Yep, we was all in collusion
Fatigued out, we don't need substitutions
All we know is ball by any means
So stern, make the refs call anything
Make your team change they whole plans up
I'm the influencer and the influenza
Take this T.V. and aim it at your mental
Watch it die slow, and wrap it over instrumentals
You can't walk on my mid-soles
Work all night, and then we get tempos
I'm the template for the temples
Example of royalty when you become this old
Or when you become this cold
And I'll be deceased, and I almost came this close
I been runnin' with my dogs for a long time
And my main girl Glenn Close

[Talking: The Boy Illinois]
You see
I was once told you should never praise a man's wealth, unless you first know how he acquired such
That's real shit, I'm still about my money though
I do this for my people
I say I do this for my peoples
I say I do this for my peoples
No need for a sequel
I do this for my peoples

[Verse 2: The Boy Illinois]
I say, movin' at the speed of sound
These haters can't keep me down
I like Henny anyway, you can keep the Crown
We try on an angle, you feel the dynasty
We up to tryin' to get it, my people in dire need
Knock, knock motherfucker, dollars please
To tell the truth, we can't eat your apologies
You know the policy, profit til you find a means
You get greedy, then somebody gotta bleed
One of my own kind, more than likely
We been this way ever since we came overseas
They claim authentic, but we all know that it's a scheme
Check the stitchin', everything ain't what it seems
I think they mad, I'm not a bad dresser
Fashion Ford is still reppin' my ancestors
I'm the G.M., and the player-partner
And I got a movement that you can play a part of
Wait, wait, wait
Aye, let me call Sway
Wyclef said soca fay
I kick it how I kick it, that's my soccer play
And I'm fly like a soccer coach, Maradona; marijuana..
