K. Jayz - Not So Bad [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook - Dido]
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad
It's not so bad

[Verse 1 - K. Jayz]
Motherfucker wake up is what I have to tell myself
Cause if I don’t then I’ma really wanna kill myself
Cause every morning, I have to look for some motivation
And if I don’t find some, Lord, give me patience and strength for another day
I know you all know what I’m going through
Y’all can relate
I’m speaking for hip hop, listen to what I say
I’m bringing it back to the way it was so we’ll have better days
Girls be looking for real niggas, but they over look ‘em
Some policeman just wanna find a reason to book ‘em
Like, “Oh, his pants sagging and his hat crooked
And he probably slangin' them rocks, so you know he took it”
Why we always guilty until proven innocent?
Just cause my skin color’s darker than his?
I hope – nah, scratch that – I pray to see intelligence
So we can eliminate the notions of white supremacists

[Hook]

[Verse 2 - K. Jayz]
Everybody fiendin’ for success
But they don’t want it just as bad as they wanna take a breath
I’m really salvaging what is left
So please forgive me if I don’t sound like the new contemporaries
Bringing shame to the name of hip hop
And the people from the past who flip-flopped
Just to sound like these new niggas who sound retarded
I could never give to ‘em the credit of actually sounding good
And just to make matters worse, they’ll say that they from the hood
They continuing the perpetuation of being fake
And if you call their music garbage, they’ll say that you hate
And they don’t understand that they being watched by the fucking feds
Just for them to fuck up, get better, then do it again
I guess at the end of the day it’s me, myself, and I
I really can’t help everybody, but I still try

[Hook]

[Outro - Dido]
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
