Tru K - The Once Was Soon To Be Legendary [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
Long live your idols, may they become your rivals
Mos the black Jesus, Com wrote the Bible
Now what your bout to hear is a tale of glory and sin
Yet to meet my mentor, now let the story begin

[Verse 1]
The Soon To Be Legendary K is no more
The truth is I’m failing and it’s too far to fall
I should have nailed all my mixtapes to every single door
I was too silent like Klopfer, should have become the Warrior
My life needs a Reformation, but now I’m late for registration
Postpone work on life, I need to work an explanation
Forget all my aspirations, all the admiration
The standing ovations, ‘just focus on education’
So I cordially invite you to my resignation party
I’m dropping out of this rap game before I even started
Too many Infernal Affairs, I’m feeling so departed
Because to be honest this is where my heart is
And it bothers me, that I’ll never be the greatest
The fortune and the fame is evasive
And I’m faceless, nameless, a shadow in the dark
A tear underwater, small fish amongst the sharks

[Hook]
So long live your idols, may they become your rivals
Pharoahe like Jesus, Fiasco’s in the Bible
Now what you’re bout to hear is a tale of glory and sin
Wish I had a mentor, let the story begin

[Verse 2]
It’s laughable, the savagery of an animal
Literal cannibal, eat your words like its Hannibal
Classical flow like gas, it’s so casual
From no murder capital, still murder, no capitol
A born again sinner, killer, with no filler
Unclear as crystals, pistols over spears
Knees hit the floor, hands clap together, wish it appears
Can you consider curing cancer with prayers?
Delivered, C section, Immaculate Conception
Cart my own cross, crucifixion to ascension
Resurrection is rejected, son you’re dreaming like Inception
Too much vain in your veins like intravenous injections
I’m your worst nightmare squared
Afraid to let myself down, deepest fears
I’m sure when Cole was writing the idea was sincere
But if your idols are your rivals, that’s the shit right there

[Hook]
So long live your idols, may they become your rivals
Black Thought evil genius, Kweli wrote the Bible
Now what your bout to hear is a tale of glory and sin
Once the path to a legend – how the story ends
