Azad Right - You Are Appreciated [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

We used to ball out from like 10 to 6
I wasn't good but I was a relentless kid
When I ain't make the team back in ninth grade
I hit the mall with my boys and got some nice J's
Me and live got down and got back in the gym
Damn, I'm glad I had passionate friends
You can hate but you can't knock our work ethic
We came a long way since my first record
I would get raps every single school day
Lunch time posted up with the same crew
We always hit the open mic on Tuesdays
And I made sure the girls always came through
Hot Cheetos and some green tea
Red fingers every time that you see me
And a fresh line up, white crow club
And I miss being young, now we grown up

I'm so thankful for the times we had
I remember all the times we laughed
Looking back man I'm so glad
And I want you to know that you are appreciated
You are appreciated, you are appreciated

When I was younger I used to play games with my pops
I can't believe I was ashamed of my pops
Now that I am older he's my role model
I reminisce sippin' out this cold bottle
He encouraged me to learn on my own
And when I fell down he let me burn on my own for a second
Just so I could understand the lows and appreciate the highs
Now I always try to smile
Even when I'm down cause I'm thankful for the fact
That my dad's been around, he's so happy for me now
Just last week we shared the same stage
In the book of life we on the same page
Right there when I need somebody
The first to believe that I'll be somebody
And how could I forget what you taught me?
Just look at where it got me. Damn

I'm so thankful for the times we had
I remember all the times we laughed
Looking back man I'm so glad
And I want you to know that you are appreciated
You are appreciated, you are appreciated

My mom worked hard to make sure I ate good
Gave up her happiness to make sure I stayed good
I'm glad that we made things right
I love you mom, you gave me life
I give you credit cause you raise me proper
Anything less than perfect ain't an option
Always took me to piano class
Always paid even if we ain't had no cash
And you encouraged me to pick up the violin
So you're the reason that I am in this crazy-ass industry
You told me don't stay silent
And when I fell you said try again, you'll get there eventually
You done taught me every friendship needs trust
And when things go wrong you gotta be tough
Cause you have experienced things other people couldn't dream of
That's real love. That's real love
You are appreciated. You are appreciated
