PUSH! - Income [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

I'mma tell you a story about pain and glory
And if the glory was really worth all the pain you went through
Or that you gonna go through
Real niggas know
FRESH!

[Verse 1]

Engulfed in this vision of ours
Living the fast life, cash, women and cars
When you learn to be strong, weak niggas will starve
In these mean ghetto streets where the villains are stars
Keep having nightmares that I’m living in bars
Cause they don’t need no work for a conspiracy charge
Look, all it takes is two people to tell
And you ain’t even have to see them niggas yourself
They try to hide you and your co-de’s in jail
Then take away the bails and force niggas to tell
A weak link when you in deep shit
Hope you got lawyer dough cause legal aides won’t beat shit
You in the yard looking for niggas to beef with
Mixing your noodles with the cheese and a beef stick
Your casserole and your jack mac popping
You got 20 years for being black, crack chopping

[Hook] (x2)

You lose some and you win some
But what good is income when the end come?
You can’t take none of it with ya
Too bad when you gone that’s when it hits ya

[Verse 2]

These fake OGs is clowns, most G’s in the ground so they let us down
Out here in deep waters and the sharks around
And if you wimps can’t swim then you bound to drown
So now, in the town we’re surrounded by silly kids
Who don’t know what keeping it real really is
They got the wrong idea of what a willy is
But the game will turn you to the man that you really is
From doing what you gotta do to reach a quota
To strapping up to go get the money niggas owe ya
To staying on your toes, know they coming for ya
I done seen ballers disappear like Abe Goda
I know tar heels, who got green thumbs
That will be at your door for the green son
Hard knock life fakes get their bell rung
For acting tougher than a steak that was well done
A1 felonies, fuck sauce
Enemies starving, you the main course
You were stunting on them dudes you were serving
On your road to the riches you were swerving
You got killed by dudes you know
Now goons came to see your moms about the debt you owe
Add that with the wake and the funeral cost
She had a heart attack, now two lives is lost

[Hook] (x2)
