Uptown - Lets Take It Back [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Hook [ Uptown ]

Lets take it back to the old days when we use to do it the old way
Lets take it back
I guess I have to clap some more cause I don't know what they rapping for
Lets take it back
Lets take it back to the old days when we use to do it the old way
Lets take it back
I'm about to tap your jaw cause I dont know the you're rapping for

Verse 1 [ Uptown ]

Uptown and I'm at it again, explode with pen
Here to separate the boys from the men
Lyrically I'm as bad as I been
Just google me nigga and you'll see all of the work I put in
Its not as many who can fuck with the boss
Still Dope On Plastic but I don't fuck with Dante Ross
Tommy Boy I was living a dream but it became my nightmare
But they can look up and I'm right there
I'm the epitome from Hamburg to Italy
No matter what they spit at me they can't get rid of me
They try to get at me, cock and hit at me
Flipping the whole rap game, sleep with the enemy
And that's a penalty that fuck with me mentally
And I'll take out a friend of me or even a kin of me
You want the end of me I won't pretend to be
Liking that bullshit funny style you sending me
You didn't know you better ask a nigga
Uptown will hold it down and quick to blast a nigga
I've grown in a zone of disaster nigga
Uptown will never answer to a master nigga...Lace up

Verse 2 [ Uptown ]

Remember De La made Me Myself and I
I was down with Tommy Boy representing the Stuy
That's way before R.Kelly knew he can fly
And the hottest shit out was Groove Me by Guy Oh my my my
I can't compute cause someone in the company was stealing my loot
Every record that they played every beat that I looped
Every dollar that I made was still unre-couped
On top of that niggas who was knowing the game
Was putting my words in they name collecting the fame
Matter of fact I didn't know this or that
And my publishing was making all my enemies fat
I should have known that I would lose all my ends
When the company and lawyer was the best of friends
But still i tried to make the best of the deal
Got in the Battle of Supremacy ready to kill I knew that I will
Damage them with average skill
So I gave a little more than they can feel and yo that's real
I was laying them down like rugs
I had the speed tongue way before the Bones and Thugs
In the final rounds it was Freshco, me, and Serge
Going at it and only the king would emerge
After that I can't explain all the pain that I felt
That was the year my label mate won my belt the cards was dealt
