TheJonesMob - The Rapper [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

If both 2pac and biggie were alive and rapping
I wonder if the influence of industry would grab em
That's not far fetched look at Snoop Dogg, hasn't
He gone a little off lately, The Shiznit was a has been
4
See, Pac's a legend cuz he never had a chance to flop
All dead rappers included - here's the afterthought
Before the industry could capture pop
Music, they were gone – like BLAH they shot
8
See if these rappers seemed to survived the next 20 years
They'd realize their money schemes really had many fears
And then each year they'd lose cash and suck dick to remain rich
Look at the ones who still alive and see what they did
12
They simply sat and started giving a shit
And got worried when they're songs were a hit and a miss
Then Interscope came and they entered the game
And to get cash they had to put the industry’s dick
16
In their asshole, to make a little cash flow
And I gotta act black while swagging with my pants low
I gotta lean with a gat and say I slap hoes
Or be humble and not known, see I prefer the Matt flow
20
Cause Matt knows you can't go far if all you are is braggin'
You can't run fast with those pants when all they are is saggin'
Can't be independent whenarm in arm with faggots
This makes me laugh like I heard Kris Sharma nagging
24
Back in the day, it was a little more original, shit
But what do I mean back in the day
I mean back in the day as in the black and the gray
Another song about the old days keep rapping away
28
So half of these gay goofs, with fat masks on their faces
Wanna stay rich so they act all evasive
Dumbed down for double dollars only rapping for payment
So they don't go back in the basement
32
They maybe make a pop song, so their last flop song
Won't cut their budget like it's all gone wrong
But then it's not long till the rapper gets stomped on
By his friends but the business says spot on
40
An OG sellout, hes been here forever
The shit he raps now ain't killer or clever
And he knows it but he says he's realer than ever
Cuz his homies are good rappers but a billionaire’s better
44
And he gets more screen time that his bold friends
Up on the pedestal saying “fags, I told them”
So if you've played a sick hand why would you fold then
2 Chains is like 2 Jokers, he's a joke then
48
The rapper takes a look at his reflection
Know hes a sellout with a couple imperfections
But he's got money, hoes, and alcohol to invest in
And of course he's rich, so he's considered interesting
52
Let's recap the session, we ain't even seen half the lesson
Make sure you critics aren't starting all your stressing
Saying you're white don't say that Matt, wait just a second
Truth is what a man says fuck disrespecting
56
If the old school rappers had more time to be pressured
Lived a few more years – rapped a few more measures
Saw that following trends meant a few more treasures
They'd realize that twice the money and half the effort
60
Was the way to go, but they'd already made it though
And as far as the label goes, the industry had made it grow
And the bank gets so high it's you can tell the money say hello
While teens on Ableton ain't able to make some dough
68
So is it really that silly to be a sellout?
Or to sell your soul to Satan, he'll grab your album and help out
Selfless to the maker once you said hail and knelt down
Now your whole future's hell bound
72
But the rapper says he don't care, says he can live it up
And says either way he's rich so he don't give a fuck
That isn't tough it's funny in fact
And you do still care about the money you strap
80
It; just a cycle - the old days are always missed
Nostalgia in hip hop is common as when y'all say bitch
I think they're old news, in the future I am too
Its 2012 motherfucker I am new
84
It's really just a cycle and time does the damage to ya
Money comes with time and then you live lavish do ya?
Money brings carelessness now your days are has beens to, and
Money the root of the problem, look what cash does to ya
88
It's not life or death, but let me give you a sample
I gotta make it rhyme, too, or else it is a handful
And all these opinions really stuff ya like Istanbul
Get it, ya fucking turkey, now here's the example
92
Big Daddy Kane said emcees sound similar
That was in 88 - then big said the gig is up
That was in 94 from 'things done changed'
Well what else would you expect that the big guns made
96
Kool Kieth in 98 says the industry is wack
Still is and was, leave it simply at that
No one's pimply as Matt but y'all still red in the face
The present disaster was never the case
100
We act like its new but shit, it's always been this way
Except after Erica I thought maybe Weezy's gay
More and more sellouts, to get the easy A
And Eazy E screamed he's the fucking shit the easy way
104
Then in 99 people started bumping Weezy
Then Drake saying why the new kids think it come so easy
And other people would call drake a new kid
And then people see my name and think “what, who's this?”
108
And then Luda's looking at drake and like ooh shit
You claim the supa dupa flow? You's a fool, bitch
You get the point don't ya? rap is coolness
But pop music is the shit for all for school kids
112
So it's been like this since the beginning of time
But now the internet's up the industry's cryin'
Cause piracy is viral and the corps' got they eyes on me
But y'all can pirate me, I don't sell, mine's for free
116
I say not to brag, hypocritical fake, hey
You probably would perceive me as a kid who hate fame
But I just wanna gnaw on y'all til this the game fades
But all the big boys'll bully me if I say names
120
Here comes the name drop, y'all say the game locked
But the key oiled up once Em became pop
With Rhianna in the same shot, falling out like Too Short
You ball on his level it's a new sport
120
Kanye West in a gone gay vest and Tuscan T-shirt
Weezy in How to Love, I thought it was a fucking teaser
Ludacris with Justin Beiber, I bet your fucking teeth hurt
Biting others' styles – YMCMB and MMG are I what I call fucking weaker
