Jay Z ft FMC-aid - 8 miles and runnin' [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Jay-Z]
Yeah, Renegade is back
Em the beat is sick
It's Young, Freeway, 8 Miles, let's go

8 miles and running, got my 7th album dropping
And my 8th album coming, feeding a thousand growling stomachs
But I can rewind the calendar back, back when it was now or nothing
People said I would amount to nothing, that I had talent for nothing
Said I would succumb to violence or be silenced by a gunman
I could just hear the folks now, "He got what he had coming"
Now that my eighth album's comin' everybody's smiling
Wanting something, claiming that they done something for him
Got their Jay-Z pom poms and their Hov uniform
Claimin' they been running and telling everybody like Martin Lawrence
'Bout how hot my rap performance was before I was who I was
Claiming that they threw it up before I threw it up
You what? Where was you before I blew this up?
I didn't see you in the courtroom when everybody was suing us
I didn't see you in all black when everybody was suiting up
Back on the block, getting it in, there wasn't no you with us

[Hook: Jay-Z]
8 miles and running, got my 7th album dropping
And my 8th album comin', feeding a thousand growling stomachs, Free
[FMC-aid]
6 miles and running, got my fifth strip popping
And my first album coming, feeding twenty growling stomachs
[Jay-Z]
8 miles and running, got my 7th album dropping
And my 8th album coming, feeding a thousand growling stomachs, Free
[FMC-aid]
6 miles and running, got my fifth strip popping
And my first album coming, feeding twenty growling stomachs

[FMC-aid]
6 miles and runnin' never stoppin'
No more family drama I'm gonna runaway sorry mamma
I love you but that's what I wanna do
Can't make it another day through
I'd rather start fresh than continue living in this mess
Can't take the stress I guess I need to feel some kind of progress
Tired of living my life backstage between this 4-walls cage
A house filled with rage time to turn the page
Earn my own wage cause independence is my best revenge
I spent half of my childhood in front of a computer
But I can't complain as this is the future
The other half was dominated by silence
I turned a blind eye to my father's violence
I turned a deaf ear tired of all my parent's guidance
It's time to fly the nest and get some rest
I have to escape and make my own name I can't explain
It's finally time to run away and do things my own way
[Hook]

[Jay-Z]
Back when nobody would find he had talent, nobody would sign me
Nobody believed in me, nobody but mommy blindly
But how can she deny me? Me being the youngest runt
To come up outta her tummy, she got nothin' but love for me
When niggas would one me, the industry shunned me
That's why I'm takin' all the industry's money
Revenge is sweet honey, we run this
Young is the illest, Free is the future
Beans and Bleek is right now, we can see y'all 8 miles nigga

[Hook]
