K. Jayz - Back to Reality [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
Back to reality
Back to a time before now and then
I miss the ol’ ‘90s
Cause it’s a time we’ll never have again

[Verse 1]
New school is outta line
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time
Back to the days when the niggas rapped for real
And when they said that’ll kill yo ass, they will
Sometimes I wish I was older twenty years ago
So I can understand everything I begin to know now
Down in the streets where that shit will go down
Don’t even talk, all you hear is that pow
Pow (echoes)
Speak of the gun, speak of the devil
I can only be real, so I guess I’m just a rebel
In a generation where every motherfucker gotta put a mask on
And never come out and say the lies they live on
Hip-hop ain’t die, that shit has been gone
Ever since the ‘90s, that’s the shit I depend on
I be rapping for real, and I can never stop that
Lame niggas don’t even know how to top that
I have visions in my mind of leading the people
I don’t look at your race, everybody is equal
I don’t know why there’s violence, I don’t why people lie
Or why a man can only cry when people die
Fuck the world, never love a girl
If her pussy is open to the whole world
If you trapping that dope, then you’ll trap cocaine
Might try to get out, but you’ll never ever change
When I’m high as fuck in these clouds
Nigga, I’m not even tryna get down
Roll it up, my nigga, then pass it all around
When you can’t even move, then you know you had loud
Real nigga walkin through the hallway
Make you feel important, like you on Broadway
Fuck these niggas, I ain’t got no time to play
Knock ‘em out, like I’m a motherfucking tidal wave

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Back in the day, everything was trill
Back when everything used to be for real
Being too good, everybody wanted to kill you
Only because that they’ll never get to be you
The dope game and the coke game
Is the only thing that’ll never change
Same name but a new day
With an AK with that range
(buh buh buh buh buh buh)
Gimme my loud I’ma smoke that shit
When I rap, I don’t intend to get that rich
Only do it cause I love music
So if you listen to me, then don’t mute my shit
Is it okay-Is it okay-Is it okay
To kill everybody cause of the love of the mon-eeyy?
Not too many niggas come out with a 401k
Compared to other days, Today Was a Good Day
Call a girl a bitch, that’s the shit I would never do
Unless they act like one, then I can’t help if I do it
If you ain’t on my level then I can’t help if you losing
Niggas today don’t even know how to rap to music
The system has always been corrupt
Don’t even know if they telling the truth or just a bluff
I think everybody’s had enough
Where these people don’t even care about you
Making a buck
Is more important
That’s distorted
Cain imported
Might be snorted
Not by me, but these other niggas
Walkin around with these motherfucking extendo figures
You’d think everything would be different by this millennium
Only thing different is making stupid music for some millions
And no quality in it
At least back in the ‘90s ain’t nobody was tripping
Over material
