J. Reyez - Something To Live For [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I've never wanted to settle for average
Everything I've ever wanted, I get it and grab it
I needed to have it, but what's the reason for that shit
Am I defeating this habit, but fear just seems to have it
Trying to do my best, but why am I so stressed?
I get more, but then I get less, the smile I need to suppress
I'm trying to do my best, in my own way to express
Everything that I'm going through, like what am I supposed to do?
The good life ain't cheap, but I work hard like I carry bricks
Some bitches think it's so easy
Some men hunt and they marry rich
They tell brag about shit they have, giving up that pussy for Chanel bags
But that price tag, it could pay the rent for like 5 months and that's fucked up

[Chorus]

I get it how I get it
I do it with no limits
From start to the finish
Appreciate what is given
You're living that life, but I don't care how you're living
You're ain't our type ho, Just keep on with your business

[Verse 2]

And like we're not influenced
The younger generation
When they listening to my music, like some kind of sedation
You just gotta go out and do it, don't let it be wasted
And the ups and downs you go through it, and you learn to embrace it
Sometimes you lose when you try to win
You bounce back and try again
Stop being depressed, your life ain't cued to a soundtrack, no violins
Don't buy shit you can't afford, and go broke just to make an impression
Chase a dream and go toward it
Set goals and make some progression
Let's take over the world girl
I want my queen to conquer
Livin' in the air, while girls they show their bodies to get with the sponsors
Sugar daddies, gold diggers happy
Buying temporary, cloud nine
But the hard times in our archives will leave a legacy with our lives

[Chorus]


[Verse 3]

It started off with a dream
Got a microphone and a headset
Took part in a team
They said "home boy, you're our next bet"
Kept it real, they said I'm ill
Shit, I needed a bed rest
Yo, fame and love is just like a drug
And I didn't get the affection
Feel a little. under the weather I'm on my ill shit
Couple. Reign. Will Smith
You can. Call me. Fresh Prince
Yup, I'm buzzing on what the people is lovin'
When I step up on the track, Mother. Fuckers know I run it
In that black whip and I drive off
Paranoid and I 5-0
And I'm just gonna drive slow
And I'm watchin' as the time goes
Here we are now, entertain us
And I'm feeling like Nirvana
And Hip-Hop is what taught us
And I do what I wanna
If you can't find something to live for
You best find something to die for
You think you're fly you get shot down for flying in a no fly zone
The flow is vicious, they know I get it trying to own a business
Know the difference from broke to riches and no ambition

[Outro]

I get it how I get it
And do it with no limits
From start to the finish
Appreciate what is given
You're living that life but I don't care how you're livin'
You ain't our type ho, so just keep on with your business

(Get it x18)

I get it how I get it
And do it with no limits
From start to the finish
Appreciate what is given
You're living that life but I don't care how you're livin'
You ain't our type ho, so just keep on with your business
