The Incomparable Shakespeare - Great Expectations [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Verse 1
As a kid, my only dream and ambition in life
Was to pick up a mic, spit what I write
I suppose exotic women and ice could be nice
But the long-term goal was go gold; raise the game to new heights
I used to run home from school; dance in front of the TV
Like Big Daddy Kane, imagining it could be me
Anything I didn’t know Uncle Ralph would teach me
On Video Music Box or groups like BDP
As I think back in retrospect
I still hold on to the dream and I ain’t let go yet
Still trying to build the vision like a Lego set
Soon come as the tune hums out of my lips
Or is it just delusions and I’m out of my wits
I admit, my perspective gets clouded a bit
Some tell me that I suffer from delusions of grandeur
Truthfully, I am the answer

Chorus
I grow impatient
Great expectations
I wanna live my life
And just fulfill my destiny
I grow impatient
Great expectations
I wanna live my life
And just fulfill my wildest dreams

Verse 2
My close friends have heard of so many deals that never panned
Now I feel like a hobo looking for handouts
Plus my bank account dried up and funds ran out
I used to hear the fans loud and clear as they would chant out
Understand how how I used be the stand out
It hard to put your ego aside
And I’m hungry and all I’ve got to eat is my pride
I swear it feels like a superhero just died
Like when Supes got killed by that Doomsday cat
Or the time that Bane broke Bruce Wayne’s back
So I work hard until they say you came back
More importantly the day they say you changed rap
I mean change like Barack Hussein in fact
I’m in my own lane, as for you lame cats
Keep fighting for the same position
But I’m back. I’m what the game’s been missing

Chorus

Bridge
As the color on the leaves change (leaves change)
I’m still trying to be thangs (be thangs)
As plants grow from a seedling (seedling)
I’m still trying to be thangs
As the tides in the sea change (sea change)
I’m still trying to be thangs (be thangs yeah)
As God cries and I see rain (oh oooh oooh oooh)
I’m still trying to be thangs

Chorus
