Rashad & Confidence - Pass Me By [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Another hour lost and gone while the clock is steady ticking
Lounging around while I should be out plotting a mission
Chasing the dream I had on providing a finer living
Not to mention the paper stack that could rise to the ceiling
Expensive objects always got my mind driven
Besides that it's being honored for my compositions
Seen a few chances come and go, for me to move up and blow
To get my buzz to grow, but I was caught up always budging slow
Watching all my peers advance with their careers
Leaving me behind as I look with blank stares
Fantasize about a shorty as I'm glancing at her rare
Living life without a care focused on the perks and pleasures
But too lazy to put in work in to try and earn these treasures
I'd rather hit the streets and be lurking with the fellas
But that won't get me far if I'm trying to progress
I gotta seize the moment now on this hunt for success

[Hook]
Whether big dreams, getting dough, fly chicks, whatever
Wanted to have it all instead I settled for lesser
Could have made a move but didn't, now I'm asking why
So what I do?
(I watched you pass me by)
Gotta go for my desires if I'm given a chance
Too many opportunites already slipped through my hands
Could have made move but didn't, know I'm asking why
So what I do?
(I watched you pass me by)

[Verse 2]
Look at shorty, grabbing eyes every time she's on the block
Backing up traffic always making whips force and stop
Jordans on her feet, tight Denim on the top
It don't really matter if you got slick talk or guap
She see through cats always trying to get her jaws to drop
Should have stepped to her before but missed the moment soon
Now it's overdue I'm thinking that she's unapproachable
You know the type of chick you get intimidated by
Model look-alike, glamour girl, always staying fly
Physical assets, you know she got major supply
Better have your G correct if you plan on saying hi
Had a couple of times to exchange words with her
Now I'm looking at some other cat kiss and flirt with her
Getting a tension making all these jealous girls bicker
Because she got curvage that'll make a saint turn sinner
The flyest thing on the block, that's what the birds whisper
I gotta bag that with smooth words and charisma
Just sitting back waiting for my turn to convince her
But next time my conscience is what I listen to
Can't let her pass me by and regret what I didn't do

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
I'm watching days go by, and I ain't even dropped an album yet
Time is precious and I'm regretting the amounts I spent
Sitting back reclining while I'm sleeping all my dreams away
Settling for jobs that barely give me a decent pay
It's needless to say, myself is who I had to blame
Could have a deal already along with an established name
But I was too busy always out trying to bag a dame
Now the same chicks looking at me like some average lame
Cause I'm still the regular cat whose status hasn't changed
Don't wanna hear them girls say: ''It's a damn shame
He could have been a rapper with plenty cash and fancy things
Posing on covers of XXL magazines
But he failed to make a move and blew it when the chances came''
Scenarios like that might not be far fetched
Gotta act now or else lay to face the consequence
Watching life leave you behind with no accomplishments

[Hook]
