Wally Left - Came of Age (Happy 18th) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
I know I've been on bit of a hiatus
But, it's necessary though
If you stick around, you'll find out why
And if you don't, well you'll find out later
Reason I'm back though, I had something to get off my chest
And so, that's what I'mma do

[Verse 1]
Back when my momma told me not to grow up, I told her I gotta be a man
If my loved ones needed a helping hand
Like Captain Hook off of Peter Pan
I'd be there to see em stand, on they own two like a monument
Monetarily prospering isn't the same as a positive living experience, though
Gotta take what they offering, chasing dreams is an option
And it could land you in a hammock
Or land you in a land where no ones handing you money and food
You scramblin', for a piece of the pie
Picking crumbs from the bakers thumbs cause niggas ain't make you none
Eat or starve in the streets, you know, a closed mouth don't get dough
But you gotta feel the heat before your bread rise it lies in the yeast
And so I opened mine, spit a bit of flame in the underground
And you just might blow, man the games like a coal mine
You taking shots?I hold mine in the chamber till the scope's lined
With all I ever dreamed of, fuck a Benz and a Beamer
I need the chance to fund a family off the talent that I was handed
A goddamn desk job is what the second plan is
Only way that way of life won't make me think to take my life
Is if I had some knuckleheads coupled up with a faithful wife
It's one girl I talk about it with, each and every now and then
Gotta give it a couple years till I see if she down with it, shit
If magazines and t.v is the level I get to
She might be the only one I could trust and commit to
Maybe I'm a dreamer, nah, i'm more of a logical thinker
I know the chance is slim but I gotta believe for me
God, I wonder what you seein' in me
Cause hours after I wrote that I seen what the dream could be
Fucking horrid, cause the girl I spoke of before is
Most likely only seeing friendship in the future for us
And I don't connect easily rarely I get to meet 'em
Even rarer I get the feeling there is really something between us
And labels is fucking shady, rappers ain't fuckin' cakin'
I do it all for the love, but love gon' feed a crying baby, huh?
Is love gon' get me a burger when I ain't ate, b?
Even now the love can't keep a smile on my face, B
So what I'm left with? Goals of love and a family
But, no one to mesh with
Goals of being an artist when only garbage is poppin' off
And even then you barely get the checks
And that thought just changed my dreams to a death wish
But here we are, you wrote this in your happy home
But you eighteen today, gotta get out, and move along
Fresh off a ruined plan for your life too kid?
I feel your pain, but you'll get used to it
I do wanna wish you a happy birthday, though

[Outro]
You finally came of age
By the time you guys hear this
I'll be 18. Actually, I'm droppin this on my birthday so I will be 18
Butchyeah that's all man
It's Left
