Black Papiyon - Cry For Gold [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Youngster up - timeless flow, livin' young - mind is old
Time to show them listeners that you shall not cry for gold
Some are too ungrateful, others hustle to survive
So thank the roof over your head, you're just lucky with your life
My soul got thickened from them scars, I mostly feel no pain
Some people's lives depend on lines, and I don't mean cocaine
Pushin' potential and then patiently I practice
So if I died tomorrow, they only hated me for rapping
Didn't grow up in the hood, guess I gotta thank god
Many at my age already walk towards the graveyard
All this Hip-Hop shined on me, so I just tried to flash back
Fourteen was the age if I catch a concrete flashback
Runnin' 'round with snapbacks, freestyling to catch wreck
And I'll remain Captain Nathan, fightin' till my last breath
So don't judge nobody just for rockin' sagged pants
He could be the guy to prevent you to catch a ratpack

[Hook]
Don't cry for gold, don't cry for gold
Be thankful that you still walkin' on this road
Don't cry for gold, don't cry for gold
You coulda been the thug that had to slang dope
Don't cry for gold, don't cry for gold
You cry for luxury while others cry for hope
Don't cry for gold, don't cry for gold
Be thankful that you still walkin' on this road

[Verse 2]
Rollie Daytona - I don't need it, pull crowds like the Colloseum
Cash is easy to spend, but it's hard to keep it
But if you ever got it then you have it just to spend it
Not to make a billi out a milli while drownin' in madness
But money rulin' this world, that fact is unforgettable
So I never stopped to think about it, and I prolly never will
I'm at war with Captain Hatred, and he's fightin' federal
But tell me what's a Captain to a fuckin' General
Now back to the scene - who got Rap, some just feel too cool to laugh
It's hard to be innovative when rappers bitin' like Suarez
If my direction ain't right, then I start to think about moving left
Cause all I need is a drink, my music and a fly bitch - Stewardess
I'd rather have one real homie than a dozen of phonies
Still keep grateful people close, nobody wants to be lonely
So you better blast bad-ass battles in life to boost your confidence
Leave 'em baffled by being content with what you have

[Hook]

[Bridge 1 (x2)]
Tell us Papiyon
Don't cry for gold
Tell us Papiyon, tell us, tell us Papiyon
Don't cry for gold

[Bridge 2 (x2)]
Success always equals will plus motivation
Keep it pushin' till you make it, keep it pushin' till you make it
Life rewards you if you grateful and show dedication
Keep it pushin' till you make it, keep it pushin' till you make it

[Outro]
Don't cry for gold
Don't cry for gold
