Versa - Safe [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Verse 1:
Say what you wanna say, I say what I mean
That I'll be the best you've ever seen
No normal routine, as I arrived on the scene I was out to get cream

Might sound cocky but these visions got me living rocky
False hopes and pessimism tend to fucking stalk me
Full of ambition, and with my own permission I'm out to complete my mission and get recognition

Bright yesterday, vague today, blurry tomorrow
Grandfather was a good man that'll be a hard act to follow
And guilt is kinda hard to swallow
But you can't blame others for your sorrow

Sometimes I see my autumn more that I can see my reign
Too many job options I can't seem to find my lane
Fans who got faith in me give me a little bit of fame
That's when I get a feeling that something's about to change

Something good, something for this novelist to get him out of this apocalypse of war, hate, judgement, portrayal and all the politics I don't wanna be apart of it but I can't just call it quits

Negative thoughts, feelings and attitudes
All the things that make people mad at you
That's why I'm hesitant in person but I come alive in the booth
Speaking what I see, hear, feel and what I think is true

Chorus:
I can feel the limelight
I just need to play my cards right
I wonder what it's all like
Give me direction I need it now
I don't know what to do, what to say

What's my purpose in the world I'm just tryna play it safe
Gotta make it every night and every day
Afraid of slipping up so I just wanna play it safe

Verse 2:
The clouds could not hold it in any longer
I think we gonna have torrential rain
Cry cause we vanity slaves
Wearing gold chains
On frozen tracks but let's get on the railroad of John Coltrane

She on a healthy diet while she tryna watch her diet
Worrying about all the karats that she got in her diamond
She hungry, she thirsty, she parched
And all of this happened in the Month of March

Her man be her financial plan
Cause her father left and mama couldn't keep up
So now she's a chattel for her nigga doing whatever pleases him and whatever teases him just to keep her feet up

These scars are for others
Imprinted on single mothers
Salute to all the brothers
Who still family lovers
Nowhere else to go, nothing left say
Degraded by her man to survive but she just playing it safe

Chorus:
She found the limelight
She thought she played her cards right
And all they do is fuss and fight
Somebody give her direction she needs it now
She doesn't know what to do, what to say
How to make it on her own so she needs play it safe
Gotta make it every night and every day
Afraid of failing in the world so she has to play it safe

Bridge:
Trying to find my sanctum
And resisting starting rebel anthems
Living in a world where we all considered phantoms
And they hold your optimism and pride for ransom

So little peace, so much anger
Too much grief in need of more laughter
So many questions and not enough answers
Chasing something but don't know what we're after
