Matt Andujo - What If I [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Matt Andujo]
Uhh, What if I never made it this far? (far)
What if I gave up on my dreams cause man it was just too hard?
Accepted average over lavish, never started rapping
Saw every excuse as a distraction
What if my mother took that choice and just aborted?
What if my family and friends weren't interested and supportive?
Listening and sharing every single song that I recorded, buy the ticket to every show I performed in
And what if I was born in a different time? (time)
A different place where I was executed for saying whatever is on my mind
A bullet to my dome to tell me that I'm out of line
Instead of people waiting in these lines to hear what's on my mind
But me? I'm living just fine
What if was living wrong? Too blind to see the light, too dumb to see the right despite knowing that I'm mistaken
But what if I'm rewarded for all these risks I'm taking?

[Hook: Matt Andujo]
(What if I fall?) What if I never made it this far? (What if I fly?)
What if I just accepted average? (What if I live?, what if I die?)
(All of these what if's keep me up at night, but i know)
But what if I fly? (That I'mma be alright, yeah I'mma be alright)
What if I reach the sky? ( What if I, I fall? What if I fly? What if I live? What if I die? See what if I...)

[Verse 2: Matt Andujo]
What if I never packed my shit and went to college
Say I never work hard? Ooh boy you better stop it
Cause I'm all about my business and this studio is my office
Promoters giving me shows and these shows giving me profit
And fuck a 9-5 (fuck it) I rather get nine bitches and take them around the world like 5 times
New night, new city, new fans who will be fucking with me
And I play this game until I'm an old man like Ken Griffey
Uhh, but what if just fall short?
All these metaphors that I'm relating back to sports
If I strike out in the 9th, or miss the buzzer on the court
Will the people that are here tonight still show the same support?
Probably not! They only love the winners, they only want to eat when there's Fillet Mignonette for dinner (fuck 'em)
What if I can feed them all the food that they desire?
See, all of these what if's are the reason why I'm inspired

[Hook]

["Any Given Sunday" Quote]
...we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch
We claw with our fingernails for that inch
Because we know when we add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing!

[Verse 3: Matt Andujo)
All these what if's just running through my mind
If only you can feel exactly what I feel inside
It's outrageous how I went from nearly nameless to rocking stages
With people chanting my name like I'm somebody who's famous
But I'm not... yet!
I'm just paying my dues with this blood... sweat
Go ahead collect, cause I come correct on every song
Most of these rappers lie about [?], Pinocchio ass noses getting real long
But i never lie, unless it's with a bad woman in my bed dressed with nothing looking real fly
No need to deny that now my life is looking positive
I came from having nothing to blowing up like a hollow tip
And fuck the politics I do this for the love
I do this for everyone who believed just who I was, who I am
And here I stand, never shall I fall
And fuck the what if's never cared about them at all!

[Hook]
