D-Mac - The Code [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Bridge: D-Mac)

It goes...
Chase cheese, no ratting
Whether a 9 to 5, or you trapping
You in school, or you rapping
Chase your dreams, make it happen
Get the money, then you stack it
Make a goal, reach and grab it
Elevate, live lavish
This is the code I preach and I practice

(Verse 1: D-Mac)

Man who raised you niggas? shame on your og’s
Too many niggas walking round strapped and won't squeeze
Gassed up on the web, pockets on E
As soon as you log off, you niggas is all lost
They want me to fall off, I won't, I play it smart
And never sweat, And I never fret, I sway the odds
I play my cards, whether the hand is good or bad
I’m from the hood go ask niggas how I get down nigga
From where they, bust bricks down and spit rounds nigga
And believe you gon’ lay down or get down nigga
If you snitching its gon get round nigga, so keep your mouth shut
It ain't gotta be Christmas niggas will light your house up
Live by the code, money over hoes
Never let a piece of pussy come between be and my bro’s
And I rather keep you away, than act fake and phony on you
Niggas play up under you plotting how to get over on you
And my old friends hear about my shine
See them in public and expect me to act blind
But naw, what up homie? how you doing? how’s the fam?
Shit, I’m just chillin you know how it is mannn
I just take what I have and do my best
If you’re in my circle, I just have one request
Shit I just take what I have and do my best
And if you’re in my circle I just have one request

(Chorus: D-Mac)
If you mean it nigga: Say it
You give your word nigga?: Do it
You got my back nigga?: Show it
And if you real nigga? : Prove it
If you mean it nigga: Say it
You give your word nigga?: Do it
You got my back nigga?: Show it
If you a real nigga? : Prove it

(Verse 2: D-Mac)
Feelin like you’re on a standstill?
Bent out of shape living life on a treadmill? running in place?
Then this verse is for you, all blessings come with your faith
You, gotta believe, if you wanna receive
Someday ain't on a calendar, and every expert started off an amateur
Hard times build character, what you gonna do when that storm come?
Grab a poncho cuz when it rains it pours son
Feeling sorry for yourself? couldn’t sound more dumb
Can't wake up a real nigga, gotta be born one
I don't know what’s more fun than proving doubters wrong
Watch they say they always knew you could do it now that you’re on
I rumbled with adversity nigga we got it on
Now I get dinero on all of you Madicon’s
Sitting on cheese like a pepperoni, a walking testimony, but nothing special homie
I’m just a, nigga from the block dealing with the stress
Of trying to reach success , and ain't gave up yet
And WON’T, I’m gonna hustle til I ain't got breath
100, ask those who know me best
I wake up every morning trying to get a check nigga
I gotta get me ain't worried bout the next nigga
But I swear I wish every man the best nigga
Cuz what I look like hating on a blessed nigga?



(Chorus: D-Mac)
Cuz If I mean it imma : Say it
If I give my word imma: Do it
& If I got my back imma?: Show it
And since I say I’m real imma : Prove it
Cuz where I’m from If you mean it nigga: Say it
And You give your word nigga?: Do it
And if You got my back nigga?: Show it
And since you say you real nigga? : Prove it
