Jimmy P. - Worth It [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook: Quis]
All I know is pain; all I see is rain,
Waiting for a change (waiting for a change)
Every day the same, chasing after fame,
I should be ashamed, tell me, is it all worth it?
Worth it, worth it, yeah (is it all worth it?)
Tell me, is it all worth it?
Worth it, worth it, yeah (is it all worth it?)

[Verse 1: Jimmy P.]
I’ve been working for many years now.
I’m not saying it’s crystal clear now, but I don’t even have a deal yet
Waking up from my dreams, screaming out “Are they real yet??”
Yes, welcome to the fast life
All the struggles you had, those are all part of your past life
I know it’s hard to leave some things behind
But just move forward with enjoyment of everything that you will find
You got to make your commitment your own from the jump
And if you start to progress, don’t look back on it once
Stick to your guns, but don’t be quick to draw
Cuz if you slip and fall, dudes say they won’t snitch at all
But you see through that, right? Just be true to that life
Do what you choose, whether music or hooping or dice
These are words of advice from someone going through it
I’m telling you if you have a dream, just go and do it!

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Jimmy P.]
People telling me, “Jimmy, you’re the man”
But here’s something that I don’t understand
If I don’t feel it in myself, how can anybody else
In this world possibly label me their superman?
There’s no “S” on my chest, it’s just my heart beating
Pumping blood to the hands and arms that start reaching
For the sky, beyond the universe
Because if you know it’s right, fight, even if it hurts
Forget what people say – they might not be here tomorrow but still you’ve got today
I know a lot of you thought that I’d just disappear
But I want to be the best, yes; I’m still here –
So look at me in jealousy, never thought that my best friends would ever envy me
Got to keep pushing, develop my skill
Because if I don’t make it, I’ll make sure my children will!

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Jimmy P.]
You could be at school or even working at the office
Or at the gym, chances slim, might take a loss and
Acting like a boss so you won’t hear people talking
Like they could fit in your shoes but you don’t see them walking.
Ha! Just tie them and start running with it
Because when you have some success, then everyone’s a critic.
I must admit it – there was a time I doubted me
Picked myself up, now my hometown is proud of me!
Now I’m looking at some people that are living proof
That they aim for the stars but just forget to shoot
Don’t let the small minds say your dreams are too large
You’re responsible for yourself, so take charge
Do you know how it feels never getting second looks?
But when you’re making hits they beg for the songbook
Always want perfection but nobody is perfect
Still, don’t stop trying. Tell yourself it’s worth it

[Hook]
