A-Game - All I Can Say [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Now see, I don't usually come at you guys with the real shit as much as I want to
But I'm about to change that, let's go
Yo, man... I remember when me and Bird were supposed to do this beat
But him and Baker killed that shit! Now here's my version
This is All I Can Say
Yo, this verse right here, is 100% me. Straight from the heart
Take a trip into my mind, lehhgo!

[Bridge]
Wrap me in a bolt of lightning
Send me on my way still smiling
Maybe that's the way I should go
Straight into the mouth of the unknown
Left a spare key on the table
Never really thought I'd be able
To say I'd merely visit on the weekends
I lost my whole life, what a difference
I've said it, so many times
I would change my ways - no, nevermind
God knows I've tried

[Chorus]
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over, I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's All that I Can Say
So I'll be on my way

[Verse 1]
Should I cry with the saints? Or laugh with the sinners?
I've done some bad shit, yet I still feel like a winner
I try and stand out from the rest of the herd
Been silenced my whole life, but my voice will be heard
To be honest, I have trouble when I write these songs
It's hard for me to open up and just expose my heart
You think it's easy if I put it on a couple bars
And just lay some rhymes down, man I tell you that it's hard!
Cause I don't show emotions easily, been hurt repeatedly
I bottle it up. and I swear to you it eats at me
That same kid who you think is in his zone
With a smile on his face is a kid who feels alone
Yo, it's kind of crazy how your life can change quickly
Used to be a straight-edge, but now I'm gettin' trippy
And lookin' back at the old me? I'm feelin' like a phony
And honestly? I feel like I don't know me (who are you?)
I put myself in this position, I'm trippin'
Depressin' thoughts and they feel so vivid
Hallucinations, you would think that I'd be out of it, yes
You call 'em "bad trips" but I call it a reality check
Cause in the madness I just sit and reflect
And try to come up with a way for me to make it correct
I feel like my walls are caving in from all of this stress
Yet I'm feeling like I got a fucking "S" on my chest, bet

[Chorus]
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over, I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's All that I Can Say
So I'll be on my way

[Bridge]
Yo, and this next verse right here?
Is about some other shit
So without further a due, I bring to you
Verse 2! Ha

[Verse 2]
Let's keep it goin' with the real shit...
All I Can Say is I'm tryin' to show my feelings
And even though my foundation is amazing
I feel like I got a shaky building (damn)
I lost some really good friends to an overdose
Could I have done something about it? I guess no one knows
It seems like only the good ones are supposed to go
Cry myself a river and I'll be the one to row the boat
I don't believe it, nine days before you died
We was on the phone, man I swear I wanna fuckin' cry
All this pain is hurting deep inside
You lost your battle with addiction and the heroin had claimed your life
But see I'm glad we had a spiritual experience
Some people fail to understand, they think that I'm delirious
I still remember sitting in my little hideout
You were in my room and we were both crying our eyes out
Pretty soon, I'll get a tattoo in your memory
I'll never forget how much you were a friend to me
So put your lighters up for anyone you've lost
Remember the good times and just keep 'em in your thoughts
They say that time heals wounds, I don't know if that's right
And all these good-hearted people are just losing their life
It's complicated and I hate the fact I'm saying goodbye
And to the people that I lost I got you stuck in my mind, alright

[Chorus]
Call me a sinner, call me a saint
Tell me it's over, I'll still love you the same
Call me your favorite, call me the worst
Tell me it's over, I don't want you to hurt
It's All that I Can Say
So I'll be on my way
