Dee-1 - The Sway Interview [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

What's really real?
What up dawg?
Naw, man, I gotta do this interview with Sway right quick
Ya know that boy Sway in the morning
You already know I'm stressed right now
I'm going through some stuff for real, like personally
But I gotta put my Dee-1 face on, you know what I mean?
So let me go knock this out, talk music

[Verse 1]
I walk up on the Sway show, face smilin' in glee
Knowing internally that I'm battling demons
I know how to fake it for the cameras, though
But I ain't trynna fake it for the cameras, though
At 5:30, the demons is who I mention
At 6:05 I talk about blocking my blessings
At 6:13 I talk about my revelations from God
But I'm still facing temptations from Satan
8:41, when you in touch with your purpose you stop overthinking
9:07, I mention depression; ship sinking
9:32, I mention being double minded
10:30, it's time to go from good to great, I can't be blinded
10:42, I'm tearing up
11:58 I'm living my calling so call it what you want
12:50, I'm a walking contradiction
13:11, get out my circle you ain't 'bout this mission
17:03, a caller calls in crying
20:16, the DMX story, I am
Spiritually connected with several people I see
My calling's bigger than rap, 21:23
I told Sway that he's anointed, 21:45
He called it Divine intervention 22:49
Watch it for yourself for the proof
My life changed in that Sway interview
You wouldn't understand

Man, son, dawg, I just come off this mad Sway show, bra
Dawg, I pretty much broke down, bout to start crying on air, dawg, I just felt something, I don't know, like flow through me dawg, like, demons was being released, dawg, like, I been going through so much, I just talked about it all on air, dawg
I just feel free now, dawg

[Verse 2]
A demon ain't gonna die without a fight
So a month after the interview I'm still fighting demons at night
Gotta get right though, cause I'm trynna be a better man
I'm just trynna be a better man
David Banner called me one morning, it had to be God
Sent me a song that went straight to my heart
See, I was dealing with being depressed, after being obsessed
After...see, I ain't even have Banner's number
So what's the odds, he'd hit me out the clear blue sky
Talking "I, I got a song for you to hear"
And that song talked about the depression that I was dealing with
And without that song, I wouldn't be here
I should switch topics, cause I got a secret to tell
But I ain't ready to tell it so let me stop it
Save that for the album, right now it's just me and you
But it all started with that Sway interview
For real

[Outro: Caren Green]
On your mark
[?] your place
Watch those hurdles in your way
If you stumble, it's OK
Find your lane
Run your race
Run your race
Run your race
Run your race
Run your race
You got to find your lane
Stay in your place
Never go astray
Never go astray
Never go astray
