T-Truth - Backstabbers [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

Watch out for people...
Who stab your back...
On the track...
Haha!

[Verse 1]

You know them days before, they were golden yo
So tight, it's your friends you be calling 'bro'
Trust each other like brothers would, it's handy
Life's too short, you don't have to be blood to be family
If anything ain't good, they're there to talk
You don't have to worry about being a dork
Then one day it seems you done something wrong
It's been long, now it feels you don't even belong
Cos you went out of line, out of place and mind
"It's like your life's been a waste of time"
If these guys were really behind you, they wouldn't try to
Diss you in class and then try and say they like you
You're talking cheap, you don't know my life
You backstabbing haters, stabbing mates with knives
And the question that I pose to those who criticise
Is it better to have tried and failed than to have never tried?

[Hook x2]

Backstabbers
All they ever tend to be
Are the people you trust tryna end your dream
Backstabbers
All they ever do for you
Is turn you from cool to the fool in school

[Verse 2]

My bars are unique, your pars are too weak
I write poetry lines at night while you sleep
This track's out today while I go in tonight
Have you sick critics even got a thing to write?
Cos now I'm speaking, you think I'm a wack rap act
Well I think you're a bunch of ducks, quack quack quack
Hate is the projection of fear, and now you're checking a peer
Just to see how much he's getting a year
It's getting me here, I don't think they care about music
The same old person coming back with a new trick
We used to be friends, now we're all on the ends
Don't pretend you're perfect, I swear we all tend
To make mistakes from time to time
Don't make out like you've always been good, it's not a crime
I'm apologising, tryna get back on track
I'm back on the track but it still lacks, thanks to

[Hook x2]

[Verse 3]

You phonies get beats like jabronis
Cos I ain't doing this for the award ceremonies
The one trick pony, your style's like a mare
You'll be gone and forgotten like Tony Blair
The flow shows I'm a cold soul froze over
You beating me's like Stone Cold going sober
Get a load of this
You backstabbers are wack rappers who were told to diss
Don't try it, it's not clever, it's quite stupid
Loyalty's a third of how we guys do this
Why would you wanna lie to me?
Being honest is something we try to be
Said you were a mate, turns out you ain't
And if that's the case, that's how you wanna behave
Then great, I'll never be a waste of space
So while you save your face, we're gonna grace the stage you...

[Hook x2]
