Chief - Still the Chief [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I'm Past Due and tired of being the guy on deck
I'm here to collect my money like the IRS
I've never been the type to bite my lip
I'm in a dog fight something like Michael Vick
This ain't folk that are trying to hold me down
See me in the spot and throw me phony pounds
You might have known me then, but you don't know me now
Still in the whip, yeah 96 homeward bound
You can either roll with me or stay behind
Don't make me send you back to Rehab like Amy Wine
Let me paint you a picture with my frame of mind
It's something too vivid for a lazy eye
I'm on my daily grind getting up with the sun
Making something out of nothing watch me double it up
I'm on a mission, as long as my heart has a beat
There ain't no quitting, kinda like the Spartans of Greece
I'm the Chief

[Hook]
And I hear them hating on me
Like I care, cause I'm still the chief
And I hear them hating on me
Like I care, cause I'm still the chief

[Verse 2]
I'm a well known mic ripper, hustling dreams
Work the graveyard night shift, I'm up with the fiends
I've been creeping all my gum up like the boys from the LAN
Waiting for the right time like them boys in the van
Old habits Die Hard like John McClane
These rappers got cold feet like hockey skates
You better be ready to take a charge blocking the lane
Or you gonna suddenly drop like the stock exchange
Who's better than me? Come on I'm taking a vote
You better get your ouija boards, cause you're chasing some ghosts
I'm serving up real life, I hope you're taking your dose
Quit writing raps about your ice, when you're blatantly broke
Come on, you ain't a thug, and you don't rock llello
Probably catch you at a cuddle party with Scott Baio
And I don't care if you impressed or if you disgusted
I'm like Kanye West, you can't tell me nothing

[Hook]
And I hear them hating on me
Like I care, cause I'm still the chief
And I hear them hating on me
Like I care, cause I'm still the chief

[Verse 3]
Kids listen, I ain't only after the green
Gil Grissom, how I'm coming back to the scene
They all miss me, well that's what I heard they say
Well here's another classic record that was worth the wait
Your boy Chief keep it cracking like thumbs on blunts
G'ed up from the feet up in some [?]
But I forgot who I was like Jason Bourne
Like all I did was drugs and chase them broads
Here's a rude awakening so sound the alarm
Dude got no faking them round of applause
They say cause 'dime cold signed me, I got where I'm at
But either way that's family, I'm still a monster on tracks
You can't deny a man, what he was destined to take
I sit and reminisce talking like remember the days
When I was rapping on headphones, recording on tapes
Now I'm traveling performing, getting boarded on planes
And you ain't

[Hook]
And I hear them hating on me
Like I care, cause I'm still the chief
And I hear them hating on me
Like I care, cause I'm still the chief
