James Gardin - Better Days [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Verse 1:
I always pictured a life where the light flickers
And you shine so bright, that you blowing out light fixtures
Hand to hand they supply you with flyers covered with my picture
I’m aiming at the moon so I promise if I hit the
Stars, I’m a stay there
Parade in some shades to protect me from their glare
Mama said “be careful ‘cause you know they don’t play fair”
But honestly mama, they don’t even play here
Everybody’s searching for a shortcut
So they can just go straight there
Nobody want to earn their keep or pay their fair
But you know that I be
Chillin, listenin to LA Symphony while sipping on some chai tea
Saying a prayer before each verse
Preparing for a hard day’s grind to just keep work
‘Cause show money don’t always show money
But I got to make sure you got something to show for me
Before you open that door for me

Chorus:
I know times can seem so hard
When you want to be a star but you stuck (Where you are )
And you feel you out of luck come on now
Now just hold on, stay strong, sing your song
Cause it won’t be long till your gone from (Where you are)
Uh oh-oh

Verse 2:
What you know about
Your late nights just merging with the daylight
Feeling like they confuse what you write with straight hype
Because that’s what they like
I ain’t even hating
Shoot I’m probably here listening to their tape like
I mean the hook’s dope and the beat’s tight
But I can’t see myself hating on a man’s way to eat right
I guess my only mission is just to listen
And go hard and slay mics
Pack my bags every night
Hit a new stage and state right
I mean what else do they want from me?
See me crash and survive like a stunt dummy?
I remember interchanging bus fare with lunch money
So I could go to a show and get y’all to jump for me
So how can you say you ain’t getting enough from me?
The least you can do is give it up for
The least you can do is give it up for me, ‘cause

Chorus:
I know times can seem so hard
When you want to be a star but you stuck (Where you are )
And you feel you out of luck come on now
Now just hold on, stay strong, sing your song
Cause it won’t be long till your gone from (Where you are)
Uh oh-oh
