Chase - Against all odds [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I was raised in a city with no heart
Where there's no car
Steppin' when it comes to be gettin' that dough fast
I'm a hustler Ima, Ima hustler
Raised on the battle field, born as a sufferer

Before I had a deal I was still stackin' deals
Get punked sell food to the customers
Now I get love crews in the back o' the S class
Dem can't move like dat y'na
(I was raised in)
I come from where man were done for hardly nuthin'
You can see it in the blues than I'm hardly frontin'
Got kids with guns in the heart of London
Bullet proof vests like half a hundred
There's no actors and actresses barely around here
This matches them straps of Manchesters
Soon as you exit'stanstead you might see...

I was raised in a city when they was out Blazin' a Philly
I was on the 5 bus chasing the titties
At tha back of the class undoin' bras wi' a stiffy
Tenisha, Testa, Lesly and Richie
It's a cold, cold world
Gangstas living ina Po Po world
So I'm in a co co with a go go girl
Escaping reality that I know so well
But when ya a kid ya don't know betta
Boy find trouble tryin' ta find that cheddar
Money breeds envy
Might get set-up
My pockets get empty
Nigas get jealous
Killa now told them???
I think you are stretching that ketchup from the south of da border
And all across the east has got round here
Gotta see it to believe it

Baby just because Ima Londoner
Now I love London town but London's foul
London's a merry go round a cycle of life full of ups and downs
Coz up till now we could of neva won
With the odds against us a million to one
See the witness messy a ligasliga a slum
Don't fight says Jordan now you really get a stiffy on
