Lyfe Harris - Pave My Success - Extended Version [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Look, Sometimes I ask am I the only one working?
Am I the only one that refuses to be that person
Who never made it but deserved it?
Nah, Not me Ima go get it!
I can put that on my team, yeah it's worth it
Guard up, waiting for a cold hand dealt
Tryna play my cards but I'm hurting

You look and see a change
But inside I'm really in pain
How could you talk knowing that you ain't been there
So alone in the world and I feel blamed

But I accept my problems
God willing someday I'll solve em'
Can't sleep knowing that I broke all these hearts
Just to get my way and a little profit
I know I can't mend it
But if I could stay right with a friendship
You could see me for the real me
Tryna make a wrong right can't steer shit

They say competition is just another way
Stay in your lane
I ain't gotta prove shit did it all on my own
Now a nigga I'm getting paid (Aye)
But I stay on my feet, spilling my soul while I'm feeling the beat
All for the love, do it for a reason
Way deeper than ya'll could ever see

Put my K. and my I. beside my N. and my G
Above my heart, on my sleeve
I hope you could see I'm just me (woah)

(Verse 2, Extended Verion)

Hard work all pays off slow, (look)
I know I got it, they try so hard but can't stop it
I search deep through my knowledge

Pave, to reach success before you reach your grave
In ways that buried the rest of the people that hate
Just a slave to my own thoughts and my own ways that won't change
(look) good or bad it's all the same
I got months to go but still chase
Ambition found somewhere enscripted on every page
I ripped out to let it heal, pick back up to clear my rage

Bow back down its time to pray
For dark souls and for change
Still walk tall through the rain
Still branch out through my name

Do you want it? ask "are you willing?"
Don't try an plaster the feeling
Let go of the past and start healing
Just keep your eyes on a million
Real truth lies in the children

The youth of the day, show me the way
Mindin my business , troubles creeps tell it stay away
Life it's self is not given
Twice its felt but still vivid
Wise words from my people, sound like wise words from a Christian
Missing nothing, the one above said were gifted
I know our minds are all different, but the climb to rise is prolific

The time to die is not recognized, just do your thing while your living
Smile bright, grip tight, shine the world flashlight, love your girl last night
In a world, that's right, last flight, visions of Martin Luther King
Like the way he had a dream and how Jordan needed rings
That's the same as life I write my wrongs Tonight to help me sleep

(look) people wanna hate you when you win
Recognize counter progression is their weapon
I see defeat upon on the faces of many men
Confusing though that's a sin get back up and try again
Still a friend if you got my back the chances though are slim
I returned back what handed to me plant it toward the stem
Now I'm headed towards the rim
Cause they told me if I win
My list of haters would grow to show the point that never ends ( Woah )
