T.J. Stuber - Legacy [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Polina]
Tell me where to go, tell me what to do, I’ll be right there for you
Tell me what to say, no matter if it’s true, I’ll say it all for you

[Verse 1]
I grew up spending my childhood as an outcast
So tell me what you motherfuckers know about that
No matter what I did always being laughed out loud at
Some other kid stole it so I never got my BK crown back
Got my ass beat when I tried to take it
Made me realize no matter how tough I thought I was ain’t shit
So I went home wrote a story about it in my notebook
Cuz picking words to me was like flowers out a rosebush
They’re so beautiful they give the strength to carry on
Even if I’m all alone developing hairy palms
Cuz no one in this world ever wants to fuck with me
All they do at school is fuck with me so now they’re fucking stuck with me
Cuz I ain’t leaving anytime soon you fucking fools
I been bullied since I was back in Red Bird Elementary School
Think you gonna stop me cuz you said a couple harsh words?
My view on life is now darker than my fucking heart turned

[Bridge: Polina]
And if you fall, I’ll get you there
I’ll be your savior from all the wars that are fought
Inside your world
Please have faith in my words

[Hook: Polina]
‘Cause this is my legacy (legacy)
This is my legacy (legacy)
There’s no guarantee
It’s not up to me
We can only see
This is my legacy (legacy)

[Verse 2]
I grew up and as a kid I used to dream big
The sky was the limit to what I could achieve bitch
I used to dream of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy
Then I started doubting it the day that somebody told me
I wasn’t big enough and my skin began to thicken up
I began to feel like I really didn’t give a fuck
Or at least act like I didn’t even though I know I did
Upset, slam my bedroom door every time I go in it
To try and hide from everything that happened that day at school
But it wasn’t happening all I could hear was ‘em laughing and
My friends didn’t help shit my friends were fucking half of ‘em
So I guess I don’t need a lot of them I only need a few
But I still dream of seeing the world from a different view
Look back at my childhood from a distance it’s a different you
Cuz you ain’t the same person as you was back then
Of course motherfucker cuz I ain’t know about rap then
Now that I grabbed a pen and a mic I was given the tools to fight
Stopped me from getting in situations where a dude could pull a knife
And slice my throat man hip-hop literally saved my life
So I say I love it every morning and I thank it every night
That I’m still alive because of my gift to vent behind lines
What is your purpose in life? Finally was able to find mine
When I’m gone I just want you motherfuckers to remember me
My name is TJ Stuber and this is the start of my legacy!

[Hook: Polina]
‘Cause this is my legacy (legacy)
This is my legacy (legacy)
There’s no guarantee
It’s not up to me
We can only see
This is my legacy (legacy)

[Verse 3]
I grew up and became the man you see here
Regardless of people saying give up your dream queer
Cuz I used to dream of being a firefighter or a writer
Its ironic cuz now I write every day in a different sense
Developing carpal tunnel until my fingers disconnect
And I can’t do it anymore now I demand your respect
Cuz I put my soul into every song that I wrote
So when I retire ya’ll can say that my soul has been sold
But I laugh when I flashback it’s funny
Being a ballplayer or author was my fast track to money
Never did I dream of being an artist with a blank canvas
And now as I walk around this community college campus
Thoughts racing around my brain like a lyrical Daytona
Used to be constantly mocked now them days over
Cuz I think that I proved that I was worth my salt
If you don’t like what I say remember that it’s your fault
You made me hate school and develop an obsession
With music that helps me angrily deal with my depression
So I guess I gotta thank ya’ll for being dickheads
And always slanging mud at me like living in pigpens
If you still wanna talk shit you can get to licking my anus
Cuz you mockingly chose me most likely to be famous
So when I’m gone I just want ya’ll to remember me
Cuz I’m TJ Stuber and this is the start of my legacy

[Hook: Polina]
Legacy (legacy)
This is my legacy (legacy)
There’s no guarantee
It’s not up to me
We can only see
This is my legacy (legacy)
