Andrew Wermer - City Lights [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Haha.. yeah...
Look!

Feels good... feels great. Yeah...
Uh, here we go
Uh! Here we go!
Look!

[Verse 1]
Started off in 5th grade, poetry for my homework
Who'd of known that years later I'd carry around these gold bars in my
Backpack from these rap tracks of my own work, made a goal to
Keep going 'til my hand cramped, my pen bled and my bones hurt
Every hot song got a cold verse -- but I'm not on -- I'm at home hurt
I'm the top dog but can't break outta my home turf, so I don't know what's worse
Man... before this, the rap game ain't mean nothin'
Been mean muggin' since back when I was 14 or somethin' and I keep coming
Cause now I'm doing my own thing with the backbone of my own name
Wrote lines that vibe like Soul Train but precede to be in my own lane
Been past y'all, I'm in control and I'm cruising
It's only a matter of when, I'mma win, I'll never lose it, and I'll prove it with my

[Hook]
Name in city lights, those city lights
Up in those city, lights, those city lights
When I see my
Name in city lights, those city lights
Up in those city, lights, those city lights

[Bridge]
See my name in lights 'til it illuminates the whole city
Throw that thang in cruise control and roll with me, roll with me
See my name in lights 'til it illuminates the whole city
Throw that thang in cruise control and roll with me, roll-roll with me

[Break: Fat Pat]
Swang, and swang and swang to the left
Pop-pop my trunk and dip, dip, dip

[Verse 2]
Had a spark in 7th grade, messing around with mic recording
I was white and nerdy and it kinda hurt me and I needed a way to make life important
So I made a change like dimes and quarters and I kinda-sorta with a hit or miss
Started freestyling over Ridin' Dirty, so I'll never get a pic with Michael Jordan
But man look at me now, no paper and only kinda fresh
But man look at me now, on paper I know that I'm best
Got way to many ways to be proud, cause I'm playing on stages for crowds
And I can't wait 'til they're making that sound
Real loud, when they finally found my

[Hook]
Name in city lights, those city lights
Up in those city, lights, those city lights
When I see my
Name in city lights, those city lights
Up in those city, lights, those city lights

[Bridge]
See my name in lights 'til it illuminates the whole city
Throw that thang in cruise control and roll with me, roll with me
See my name in lights 'til it illuminates the whole city
Throw that thang in cruise control and roll with me, roll with me
See my name in lights 'til it illuminates the whole city
Throw that thang in cruise control and roll with me, roll with me
See my name in lights 'til it illuminates the whole city

[Verse 3]
Man I still remember when nobody wanted a part of me
Hardly thought of me as anything but a "wanna be"
And controlling and holding the heart of me while I'm vocally toting the art of me
Flowing through my arteries, hoping they never martyr me
But now I be breaking the boundaries -- people proud of me --
The sound of my county screaming is getting to loud for me
And I'm no longer the only one that knows I'm the chosen
I'm waiting for the minute I focus and witness when I'm seeing my

[Hook (Fading Out)]
Name in city lights, those city lights
Up in those city, lights, those city lights
When I see my
Name in city lights, those city lights
Up in those city, lights, those city lights

[Break: Fat Pat]
Swang, and swang and swang to the left
Pop-pop my trunk and dip, dip, dip
