Patrick - The High Life [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Seem like my whole life changed in the last year
At parties with legends like "what the fuck I'm doing here?"
Waiting for someone to say "what the fuck you doing here?"
Until I realized that I belonged, had nothing to fear
Who would've thought I would mingle with celebrity singles
In a room full of Grammy winners discussing they singles
Some people love you, some people hate you, some people need you
Some people act like they know you but they can't even read you
The effort I put into music still the same amount
Cause ain't a damn thing changed 'cept the bank account
I remember the day I got my advance money
I'm talkin so much bread, this shit will make you dance money
It was the first thing I did, got my team out the way and then I got myself a crib
My boy Lenny gave me a place to stay for a year
Put food in my stomach, I had nothing to fear
And once that 365 was up, I told him to quit his job and gave him a new career
So many rappers on that stupid superstar shit
But I plan to eat with the people I starved with
I've made money, I've lost money, I've spent money
I've slept outside due to lack of the rent money
I've been in love but having been through a lot of pain
Cause what the fuck is sunshine without a little rain?

And love is like leaves in the fall
Cause some people get scared and leave and you fall
Speaking of which, I met this girl the other day
The type of girl that make the pain fade away
And I have a feeling she gon' be my next
Cause she make me forget all about my ex
I'm talking something that's deeper than just sex
But I don't want it to be the 3rd letter in the word next
Always sold in the sea of love
I'm just not current, none of the above
And man fuck all that depressing shit
Let's get this money and fuck these bitches, you know what I'm sayin?
Sike nah, you all just know that I'm playin
Cause all the money you possess ain't what makes you a man
Big shot, tough guy, blow 100 grand
But you still in the same place, damn

But man the world is so fascinating
Ambition got these girls gravitating
And honestly it strokes the ego
But beautiful women ain't good for nothing except procrastinating
I got a show in Paris coming up
Followed by London, I'm a tear it up
So many people just don't care enough
Analyzing faces in the crowd staring up
What's the difference between me and them?
How come I ain't in the crowd at they show seeing them?
What do guys see in me that he ain't see in them?
Cause honestly I see no difference between me and them
We all people, all equal, we all the same
Lookin for control tryna play the game
We all got issues, just different magazines
We all sleep but have different dreams
However once you're awake and you life ain't what it seems
And that's the reason I'm living within my own dream

Hell yea, fuck 'em all, like I'm runnin from you the law
Haters probably think they faze me, I'm like no, not at all
I'm too high up, not to fall
Like a sphere, bitch I ball
Never asked me what my team make cause you know I brought em all
And if you're looking for a problem then we can get it solved
I just kill them with kindness, keep it [?] the dissolve
You got bitches, I got Bobby Soxer girls that be ride or die
A shawty on another level, let me catch a vibe
Super bad girl, IQ is in the sky
She graduated cum laude, yo bitch went to DeVry
God damn, oh girl, she a go getta
At the party takin shots like a Beretta
Doing anything and everything to feel better
And now she in the crib getting high like a falsetto
How you feeling, I be yelling, "why these motherfuckers grilling?"
And she give me life cause I'm making a killing
Bring it down, do it slow, show me how that really go
Girl I'm new in town, I don't really know
They be like, when you gonna tell me that you love me?
I be like bitch I gotta hit the studio, ho
Now she got me on the crib, talkin that she wanna do it
Kinda up on the dresser looking at me like there ain't nothing to it
Thinking should I do it though
I don't even know though
I don't even know the ho
I don't even know though

[Ricky:]
Say oh oh oh
Mama I made it
You cannot tell me no but the young boy made a way
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I said oh oh oh oh oh
