Zakk Scott - Learning Curve [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Produced by D-Lyt]

[Verse 1]
Zakk Scott that's the name, I'm here to lyrically ease the pain
Of those who listen with broken wishes, wondering why life be this way
Also here to make a name for me, and D's here making banging beats
We're unfailingly creative and one day we'll change the game, you see
I'm honest I'm a novice, and I got a lot of stuff to learn
But every time I drop a verse the words are hot enough to burn
Don't care about cash, only in it for the credit
Don't expect me to take my exit until the shit I spit's respected
My objective is perfection and I'm not gonna stop until I have that
Which is why even on a slow beat I rapidly rap, never half-fast
Too much respect for the craft to not give it my all when I make a song
And if I don't pepper this with cleverness you'll take it with a grain of salt
Pushing myself on every track is the only way I'll get better
Because how I can be the best ever if I don't give it my best effort?
I want respect for working hard, but I gotta earn it first
And that's what this is all about - welcome to the Learning Curve

[Hook]
The learning curve
The learning curve
Welcome, welcome, welcome to
The learning curve
The learning curve
The learning curve
Welcome, welcome, welcome to
Welcome to the learning curve

[Verse 2]
D introduced me to the game when he played me Eminem's “Not Afraid”
And as soon as the track was finished I knew in that instant that I'd gotta play
Not even because it was great music or seeing that I could relate to it
The reasoning was when my demons showed up, I could escape through it
Better than being poured up, instead of mixing liquor
I found solace from my problems bumping artists paint their vivid pictures
Whether Biggie rapping about life in BedSty on Ready to Die
Or 2Pac spitting conscious lyrics, that Henny supplied the deadliest lines
I bumped Nas's "Dance" on repeat when my mom died
Then Jay taught me if I was feeling sad I should make the Song Cry
So I took everything that was bottled inside, prodded my mind, and thought of some lines
Fast forward a couple years jotting and dropping those rhymes and now you're caught up in time
Rap has got me by, and I want to return the favor
So to anyone out there struggling I'll be your suburban savior
Because I don't know about time, but music can heal all wounds
You'll feel better when you close your eyes and turn up the volume

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
I don't call myself a rapper yet, that's a title, I have to earn that
I'm far from being perfect, I've got a ton to learn and work at
Sometimes I wonder if playing this game is something I have the heart for
I often don't even know if I can contribute to this art form
I tell myself it's nothing, and reason having doubt is par for the course
But even so I feel as though I bullseye'd the wrong dartboard
Then D sends me a beat, and all of the doubt I ever had vanishes
I realize rap means too much to me, and I could never abandon it
So whenever I'm pouting and doubting myself and I'm wondering why I bother to play
I remember that I was brought up in pain and so I've got a unique view to offer the game
I'm not rapping for myself I'm rapping for others, specifically those who are trapped in their struggles
Who want to collapse in a bundle but there's a reason you're knees haven't yet buckled
There's an end to your troubles, an end to the tunnel, you don't even know what you're capable of
You're stronger than what you have suffered, you can overcome and become so unbreakably tough
All it takes is the resolve to keep on fighting back
And if you ever need any help, well that's the reason why I'm writing raps

[Hook]
