Jimmy Craig - Ambition [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I know I started shaky, but no one's ever perfect
But I don't give a damn cause this shit is still worth it
I knew I wanted this back when I was 16
I never looked back, I never had a plan B
If I say I'm gonna do something of course I'm gonna do it
I put my heart in this, while you just sound foolish
Some don't take it seriously, they do it for entertainment
Only caring about the fucking number on the statement
If you got a talent man, then why the fuck wouldn't you use it?
A lot of people abuse it, I swear I'll never lose it
Everyone's a critic now, people always choosin'
I'm tryin' to start a movement, I'm crusin' right through it
I'm not gonna hate on him for wanting to be a chemist
I'm not gonna hate on her for wanting to be a dentist
I'm not gonna hate on them for wanting to start a business
So why hate on me when I'm trying to be the realest?

[Interlude 1 - Rocky Balboa]

[Verse 2]
It all begins with a dream, so just take it and use it
And while you're pursuin' you just can't lose it
I've had the dream of rapping ever since I was a little kid
Until I swallowed my pride and decided to just do it
I know I got the talent, no one knows what I'm about
I gotta let it out, I carry too much doubt
Once I get the pride to unleash the beast inside
I'm hoping you really feel me and come along for the ride
To your surprise, this job is what I chose to help me get by
If I don't succeed, I can say that I tried
Chasing dreams, I don't think I got the right shoes on
It seems too far away, I gotta get my Bobby Hayes on
Some kids are too scared to reveal their real dreams
Trust me, I was one, now I'm revealing all my schemes
Never lose your might during the fight that you embark
And always have your sights on the light in the dark

[Interlude 2 - Eric Thomas]

[Verse 3]
Constipated to the hate, I couldn't give two shits
My punchlines are so dope, you're gonna want two hits
Ambition's what I live for, it makes my whole life
And I appreciate anyone who says my flow's tight
When I was young, I stuck my tongue on a frozen stop sign
My friend got his off without a problem, but not mine
What I'm saying is, you gotta play with fire and get burned
If you wanna learn, you gotta wait your turn
Jealousy; that's a female trait
Why's everybody always trying to rate and debate
About who's got a better flow, who's iller on the mic
It doesn't mean shit because we're all fucking different
Obviously we're all not gonna see eye to eye
But what's the point in life if you never ever try?
Maybe one day you guys'll call me the greatest
But for now I'm sittin' here just chillin' on the wait list

[Outro - Eric Thomas]
