A-Game - Doin My Best [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus] (A-Game)
I'm standing at the top - I'm all up in my zone
But when I'm feeling down it's like I'm feeling all alone
As I sit here in the booth working on these skills I hone
Ignoring everybody cause I'm shutting off my phone
I wonder if I'll make it, it's tough becoming patient
When everything you're working for just seems like talent wasted
Started with the basics, now it's hard to face it
I hope to make it in this game and be one of the greatest; I'm Doin My Best

[Verse 1] (A-Game)
Yo, I was raised in the suburbs of 34209
Through my raps you'll probably find a couple stories of my life
I sit up late at night and work on verses that I write
Will I make it in this game? I won't go down without a fight
I've burnt a couple bridges, but I think I've learned my lesson
Drama left and that shit has always got me stressin'
Fuck school it's turned my mind into a lethal weapon
My mom's trying to make me graduate, she just don't get the message
I play the radio and all I hear is lame ass cats
And I don't know what the FUCK is to blame for that
I know I tend to write a lot about some gangsta rap
But if you really knew me, then you'd know my life just ain't with that
Don't get it twisted, before you start hatin'
And sayin' that I'm fake just realize that it's entertainment
I'm tryin' to make a statement, so face it, embrace this
Music to your ears, I'm a make it, I'm just waitin'

[Chorus] (A-Game)
I'm standing at the top - I'm all up in my zone
But when I'm feeling down it's like I'm feeling all alone
As I sit here in the booth working on these skills I hone
Ignoring everybody cause I'm shutting off my phone
I wonder if I'll make it, it's tough becoming patient
When everything you're working for just seems like talent wasted
Started with the basics, now it's hard to face it
I hope to make it in this game and be one of the greatest; I'm Doin My Best

[Verse 2] (Lil G)
Before you call me fake, just know what I been through
No matter the size, come and take a trip in my shoes
Worrying about if I'll ever make it past twenty-two
So don't judge a person when you don't even have a clue
Everything I been through it's just a different struggle
Life is a game, but it is worth a juggle
People come and leave popping shit like a bubble
Got the pieces so try to put it together like a puzzle
I could tell you shit that you probably wouldn't believe
Like let's switch eyes and tell me what you see
My dad passed away when I was seventeen
So I pray and know he is always looking down on me
I'm not trying to preach, but cherish what you have
When it rains, it pours, it sucks yes that's a fact
You go through some bumps and you're low on cash
But listen when I say live your life it ain't that bad

[Chorus] (A-Game)
I'm standing at the top - I'm all up in my zone
But when I'm feeling down it's like I'm feeling all alone
As I sit here in the booth working on these skills I hone
Ignoring everybody cause I'm shutting off my phone
I wonder if I'll make it, it's tough becoming patient
When everything you're working for just seems like talent wasted
Started with the basics, now it's hard to face it
I hope to make it in this game and be one of the greatest; I'm Doin My Best

[Verse 3] (Bird)
Confusion, I'm losin' my mind I feel stupid
Clueless with problems, I need a solution
Drinking my issues away, Mary Jane ease the brain
Life passes too quick, I'm in the slow lane
I reign the throne, I restrain from saying "no"
Known to flow in tone, I'm young but I act grown
In my zone I rock the bed, like Flinstone
Fled the cops, my identity is unknown
Roam the streets of Manatee I'm not asleep
Find me in the booth with a beat, and a mixed drink
Wishing I could blink, and everything would be in sync
But then I think "Fuck a wish, go to sleep and dream!"
About everything in this world you can't see
1-2-3, A-B-C, F-T-P, you know me
Damn bro I'm a winner Bingo, Yahtzee
On my killer bee, the BPD couldn't stop me!

[Chorus] (A-Game)
I'm standing at the top - I'm all up in my zone
But when I'm feeling down it's like I'm feeling all alone
As I sit here in the booth working on these skills I hone
Ignoring everybody cause I'm shutting off my phone
I wonder if I'll make it, it's tough becoming patient
When everything you're working for just seems like talent wasted
Started with the basics, now it's hard to face it
I hope to make it in this game and be one of the greatest; I'm Doin My Best (x2)
