The Pilot Kids - Kiss Me, I'm A DJ [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[VERSE 1]
It’s been a minute since the seventh grade, hasn’t it?
I think our last interaction was after middle school band practice
I was that dude that you were laughing at
You played the flute, I played the clarinet

You caught me staring in your direction and you told your friends
And I was so embarrassed that I told the nurse to send me home cuz I was sick
Wrote you this latter saying “Sorry if I creeped you out, but
I just think you’re beautiful and I didn’t mean to freak you out!”

Your boyfriend? I wasn’t half as tall as him
And he would school me on the court when we played basketball in gym
And I would compensate by rapping and creating little beats
Sold my shit for 5 bucks, but I gave you one for free

Well— yesterday I got this inbox on Facebook
From you saying “Jonny, we haven’t talked in ages!”
And you miss me
You heard my shit and you just want me to know you’re listening
Well, isn’t that funny baby?

Cuz actually, my pad’s fully booked
I can’t even keep track of these bitches!
You mad honey?
You probably wanna—

[Chorus]
Kiss me, I’m a DJ
And I been makin’ music since
Before you even knew that shit was cool
Who’s the fool now?
Cuz next time that you see me
You’ll be in the crowd screamin’ out my name

[POST-Chorus]
(*scratching*)

[VERSE 2]
I can’t believe it’s happening again!
This time it’s even worse, she was actually my friend
We were 16, on the same track team
She was like 5’9”, I was like 5’3”

And I get it— we would have looked off with each other
Cuz I really kind of looked like your little brother
But you didn’t have to lie and say we didn’t hook up
When you know damn well that we did, for a month!

During lunch, we met under the stairwell
You gave me head once and told me not to dare tell
We didn’t talk at all during college
I heard you’re an alcoholic and you failed out!

Now you’re like, “I heard you got signed and you’re moving to LA!”
Yeah, something like that— yo, remember tenth grade?
When you showed me what it felt like to straight up get played?
Now you see me getting paid, so you wanna get laid?

You’re lame to an insane degree
Now you’re less ashamed of me?
Ho, you plain’ make believe!
You’re never gonna—

[Chorus]
Kiss me, I’m a DJ
And I been makin’ music since
Before you even knew that shit was cool
Who’s the fool now?
Cuz next time that you see me
You’ll be in the crowd screamin’ out my name

[VERSE 3]
I kind of get the feeling that this is the last time I’ll ever be able to live in the past
And what I mean is— my regular life is fleeting
Cuz everything I’ve been seeing is quite different than (last night)
(Last night) people were treating me like shit in a bag
Why is it that, as I climb up on this ladder, I find getting the cash is why bitches react?
If I’m living too fast, I might just hit the gas!
Might get in a crash!
Slice myself in half!
Wipe my fucking hands, then try that shit again!
I don’t give a damn! Get off of the freeway!
I am not a DJ, I am in a band!

("Yeah! Instruments! You know we got instruments!”)

[Chorus]
Kiss me, I’m a DJ
And I been makin’ music since
Before you even knew that shit was cool
Who’s the fool now?
Cuz next time that you see me
You’ll be in the crowd screamin’ out my name
(x2)

(“You snooze, you lose.”)
