L9 - Cake Nigga [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
So I was born in '89; touched the poverty line a couple of times
In between cities, in a Cadillac my uncle would drive
Picked up with my older sis; more like my parent at the time
She was five years older; I guess I was like nine
Easily influenced; I guess that's why the pen moves now
Cause cars turned up and opened doors every time they came around
I sat back and stared as speakers blare something 'bout cream
Something about a different dream; different tone same thing
And I wanted that; and they told me, "Go get that"
Even used to have some cousins that used to work that block just to go and get that
Had to adjust my mind every time headed home
Even then, voices echoed in my head, all alone

[Bridge]
I was told as a youngin' cash was everything
Get more of that, and you'll gain everything
A coupled of dollars became every dream

[Hook]
"Go get that cake, nigga! Go get that dough!"
"Go get that cake, nigga! Boy, better get that dough!"

[Verse 2]
Fight the urge to live for it; even my dreams have something different in mind
Probably cause I fell asleep with a couple of bills of mine
Stacked close is a full pile of ripped open envelopes
Look my girl in the eyes and tell her the most high
Never goes without replying to His; trying hard to believe it
Pastor says blessings rain down; we just trying to receive it
Mama say, "Enlisting's probably the fastest way to achieve it"
These bills knocking at the door in agreement; so greedy
Slowly but surely being robbed of the idea
That we could live here, and not chase the dollar; we've been collared
The only trick they teaching is fetch that cake
To love and to die for it; but, we won't go that way

[Hook]
