Travis Jarreau - King Without A Throne [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

King Without a Throne

[Verse 1: Travis Jarreau]

Back in 2010
When it came to making beats
I had a thousand of them
Bout to sign a record deal and make my own mixtape
When a couple of my boys
They were like, "bitch wait."
Why don't we form our own group
And then get signed
And make our own loot
I know now
It wasn't that easy
But back then
It was O' Le do it

Days were long
And nights were mean
Until we made
A midsummer Night;s Dream
I didn't think the hype was real
Until a thousand plus loves on Hype Machine
Changed
Everything about it
Even though nothing really came up out it
Still
We remain boys forever
Up in the studio
Makin' noise forever (uh)

[Hook: Travis Jarreau]

We just wanna be stars
We wanna live good and party on Mars
Fast food flow
Gotta go large
Time to take back
Take back what's ours
A guy like me can't do it alone
I hope these dreams
Are not too overblown
Don't crown the king without a throne

[Verse 2: Travis Jarreau]

Back in the lab again
Second mixtape
Exxperiments, man
Oh, what an experience
With my boy Dan B
I hope he hearin' this, man
We g-chatted at first
He's sharin' his thoughts and
Vice Verse, like
"What if each song had a really cool sample
Take a Kanye album, for example"

How long does this thing take
"Uh, let's record it all on my spring break"
Uh, now that's a lot of ambition
Real tough like eating cold steak
Had shows lined up
I was 'bout to embark
But I went the other way
And the dream fell apart
Still
No regrets, never
Just great memories
And a friend for-ev-er

[Hook: Travis Jarreau]

We just wanna be stars
We wanna live good and party on Mars
Fast food flow
Gotta go large
Time to take back
Take back what's ours
A guy like me can't do it alone
I hope these dreams
Are not too overblown
Don't crown the king without a throne

[Breakdown: Travis Jarreau]

From neglected to elected king of Rome
Say farewell
Time to move my things from home
Bow my head
As my knees hit the floor
I don't fit in
So I just
Stand out more
See I don't wanna be
Just another one
We've got a lot to see
The other sun will rise
Gotta win, Gotta win here
Gotta win, Gotta win now
Gotta do it our way
The only way we know how

[Hook: Travis Jarreau]

We just wanna be stars
We wanna live good and party on Mars
Fast food flow
Gotta go large
Time to take back
Take back what's ours
A guy like me can't do it alone
I hope these dreams
Are not too overblown
Don't crown the king without a throne
