Jimmy Craig - Bright White Watch [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
When I was young, I was the last picked misfit
Now I'm standing tall and I really couldn't give a shit
Sitting all alone with my Harry Potter glasses
And the light ups with the high socks to match it
People always wondered why I chose to sit alone
I don't really know, I still do it when I'm grown
Mom and Dad told me "life gets better as it goes"
But the grass is always greener over the fence when it grows
Call it pessimistic, I call it realistic
There's always someone there to shoot a dream like ballistics
Sometimes I try too hard to be artistic
It usually takes time to develop like autistics
Bullies try to get to me psychologically
This song shows you my life chronologically
Cause I used to be the kid with the high cut socks
Now I'm the man with a plan and my bright white watch

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Fame ain't the key to my awaited destiny
If you could see what I see, then you'd understand me
You'd see that I'm trying to be free
I don't give a fuck about my name shining bright up on the marquee
I'm a different pedigree, essentially being the best I can be
So you people can differentiate me
From all the other stars populating the night sky
As the day goes by I always stop and ask why
Why did I rap when I don't come from the hood?
My entire life I've been labeled misunderstood
People tell me all the time what I don't do and what I should
"Go to school, make money" you wish a motherfucker would
As I grow older, my whole heart froze colder
Feeling like a boulder, I turn a cold shoulder
To the one's that actually care cause I'm too naive to see
The one's that matter most to me aren't the most important, see?

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I'm staring at the world through my rear view mirror
Trying to wipe the fog but that doesn't make it clear
If you ever wanna look up to me with your own eyes
On the next clear night I'm all over the fucking sky
I know you're gonna come but I don't know when you'll drive
I gotta beat the storm that I know I'm gonna survive
Cause I used to be the kid with the high cut socks
Now I'm the man with a plan and my bright white watch

[Chorus]
