Velosmith - Pound Cake [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
After hours at my mom's office
Look for meds in a closet when she's not watching
As a kid I'd often read through the labels
See I've always been intrigued by anything that could change you
And the way you think, that's crazy
There's so many highs I seek, I'm craving
Teachers said I'm shy and weak and lazy
But what I've been on's like speed, so race me
I just find it funny that they underestimate me
I don't choose to study, let my blunders elevate me
Frankly, let me just be blunt, you cannot change me
I'm the same me, see nobody can persuade me
Listen to my tape please, I don't have any friends
Got my family but they're not even fans of all this
I can't stand it but shit, I still gotta stand for my shit
Undermanned but I just hope you understand what I spit
And my passion doesn't let me interact with you kids
My detachment has made me so unimaginative
I look at these capsule bottles like some magical gift
I look at attractive models like they're having my kids
See happiness isn't visible, apparitions are minimal
Apprehension from spiritual acquisition's predictable
It's simple though, I either need God or need guap
Must be the latter, according to all these rappers
Saying


[Verse 2]
Mayday payday, heyday
Game day, make plays, amaze
Vacate what's in your mind, get some pure thoughts
Gotta make cake, I'm not tryna get store bought, no way
Raise weight, 8 plates on each side of the bar
And I bench, but my bars never bench
Bitch I start, from the heart, going hard as a bitch
Made life my wife, but I can't get hard for that bitch
Alright alright, to become a star, do you wish
On the star in the sky? Makes you want what it gets
Do you starve? do you strive? do we all want a fix?
See we all gotta die, so we're all tryna live
But shit, suicide is so intriguing
It stupefies your soul, it's freezing
Better heat up, take a seat up front
And see the sun, just let it make you a believer
Done

[Outro]
