Des Letemps - The Ritual [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Waking up early to the sun in my face like a flashlight
Same clothes last night
Time to wake and bake
I'm something like Bobby Flay
When it comes to Mary Jane
Love her like Rick James
Time to roll a plane
Though I said it'd be last flight
Higher than the afterlife
When God says you was actin right
It's time to start the day
Tip toe'ing over people in the way
Gotta get to work on time and I think I'm already late
And this dead end job doesn't even really pay
Big fish, small pond, I'm a shark in a lake
And when I see bait
I'mma wait til the fisherman is close
Take his boat and escape
It'sime to get away
I'm just hopin that this hustle pays off
Cause this downtown loft
Is starting to feel small
When compared to what I want
A crib by the beach
And a really fast car in the garage
It's time to get a raise

[Hook]
Good morning
It's time for the ritual
Wake up to a jay and big bowl of cereal
Good night
I say a prayer for my last chick
Hop up in the bed with a bad chick baby
Good morning
You can stay if you need to
But don't be offended if I leave you baby
Good night
There is money to be made
If you ain't getting it
You in the way

[Verse 2]
Blue collar days
Pop collars in the evening
Bottles of the Riesling
Time to start the night
And I'mma live it like my last
Cuz life's a bitch
Keep her leash the length of an eyelash
I'm walking her quite fast
Like at the speed of life
Too fast for the dash
It's time to run the lights
Living like the minutes are a decade on my wrist watch
Johnnie Walker strolling now and I don't even drink scotch
Something in my red cup
Spiked like the hair of
A guido with an ego juiced up like it's their club
Yeah, I understand 'em
See me in Miami fist pumping with my hands up
Random, jeans ain't baggy but I'm hammered
Why would I care if a if a hater can't stand us
Peace to the cameras
Stumble to my car
But car keys vanished
Driver speaking Spanglish, damn it
It's time to end the night

[Hook]
Good morning
It's time for the ritual
Wake up to a jay and big bowl of cereal
Good night
I say a prayer for my last chick
Hop up in the bed with a bad chick baby
Good morning
You can stay if you need to
But don't be offended if I leave you baby
Good night
There is money to be made
If you ain't getting it
You in the way

[Verse 3]
Waking up early to the sun in my face like a flashlight
Same clothes last night
Time to wake and bake
Wait, that's the same thing that I did yesterday
I'm thinking I need change
Time to find a way
So maybe I shouldn't light it
Maybe I should take a break
Maybe I should get to work on time
And work it like a slave
Maybe I should stay away from a chick in lingerie
Maybe I should get to know her maybe take her on a date
Wait, now she wants a ring
And even my last name
And 2 or 3 kids and a white little gate
Raise a boy with some manners
But if I have a daughter I'mma raise her like Hanna
Yes, I am Eric Bana
Single parent
No time to get engaged
I'm thinking of getting paid
For the reason I was made
So I wake up everyday
Thinking of a better way
To get you people to listen to the things I gotta say
It's time to get made

[Hook]
Good morning
It's time for the ritual
Wake up to a jay and big bowl of cereal
Good night
I say a prayer for my last chick
Hop up in the bed with a bad chick baby
Good morning
You can stay if you need to
But don't be offended if I leave you baby
Good night
There is money to be made
If you ain't getting it
You in the way
