Kid Seuss - New York, New York [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Kid Seuss]
Where to begin, I've been gone for a minute
Dropped Black Sheep and I felt like I was winnin
Pools full of liquor, dove in, went swimmin
Then the past caught up, bad days, bad women

The truth is everything we went through left me kinda scarred
I guess we're both to blame, it's all in how we played our cards
Sitting, contemplating, thinking we were doomed right from the start
I guess I might be crazy, but that's cause these times are hard

For the first time I'm back from the bottom
And I came back up just to find I'd been forgotten
It hurts when you're kicked to the dirt and you're down
Feels like there's nothing that's worth coming back around for

They tell me nothing's ever quite as bad as it may seem
All these fans supporting, but I'm really just afraid
Time to throw those fears away, get back to working on my dreams
I want to be a part of it, so I'm leaving today


[Hook: Milford]
Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of this
New York, New York
New York


[Verse 2: Kid Seuss]
Sometimes I just wanna give up and be a villain
Sell my soul to Illuminati, blow up, and then make a killin
But what's success when none of your songs have any feelin
Don't make music for the money, so just go ahead and steal it

They call it the rap game, but the industry's deck is stacked
Labels tryna own your life with a pen and a contract
Put your name on the dotted, and just like that you've been trapped
Pictured myself living this way, and that's why I snapped

Now take a look and realize that this song ain't got no swearin
I wanted it to be heard by my siblings and my parents
I want you all to see this magic trick I've been preparin
Are you watching closely, "Abracadabra", now I'm transparent

The people I grew up with can't believe how far I've wandered
Why can't you just be happy for me, look how much I've conquered
I know how it feels to think that you can't take it any longer
So now my heart has a badge of honor, it's been through war and it's made me stronger


[Hook: Milford]
Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of this
New York, New York
New York
