Ray Rashad - How You Feel [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Uh, faith, dedication, sacrifices, late nights, and early mornings
Will somebody tell me, "Is it all worth it?"
I been drinking, I been smoking
Losing friends, saying fuck relationships cause it all got my head hurting
I rather be like Ford, and try to keep my focus
And keep my mind open, but try to stay devoted
That's why I don't be having time to get into trouble
This was a struggle hoping I can see my money double
Boy I thought I was the shit when I opened for Trina
I had goals to headline and pack an arena
I'm just doing everything that I have to
Incase you ever wondered, man I do this shit for Fairview
It's wasn't love for Young Ray up on that other side
Until I found a different city that I could reside
Every time I cross that bridge on 79
The same people that's hating, now they say it's my time
To get a verse from me, remember that the verse ain't free
Don't take it personal, just know that Ray is strictly business
And for a check, I'll do that time like it's prison
Just make sure that check is ready whenever I'm finished
They say I'm acting funny, ha, they all lying
They say I'm acting brand new, but I'm 25
They say I act like I'm the shit, I'm just being real
But everybody got opinions, that's just how you feel

[Talking]
Uh, you know everybody gone have opinions, no matter what. Only thing is, you gone have to sit up here and try to move forward, and use that as an advantage. Use that as your motivation. You stay dedicated to what you got going on. You got to listen man. Like June Lee say, "You gone be alright, you gone be alright."

[Verse 2]
Man niggas be out here stunting
Stunting saying they made it
Made it until they faked it
Faked it until that truth came out and now they hating
Hating cause I'm the motherfucking man with a motherfucking plan
And I ain't motherfucking playing son
Fairview, '06, Suge P and O.T
They kept me mentored and always pushed me to the limit
Back then nobody listened to me, all I heard was crickets
Nowadays, they blast me and end up getting tickets
Mama had to go to work before the sunrise
And I got to go to school, but I'm still kicking rhymes
When I got to SAU in Magnolia
I was bout to hang it up, but Suge told me to start it over
Mob Squad, the Untouchable Mob Squad
The realest niggas till this day who are down to ride
Yeah, love, loyalty, respect
Always kept it T.R.U. if anybody want to check
And it's always been that way before and after the check
Somebody is out here killing the game, I'm the suspect
Waiting on me to blow up, tell me what you expect
The hardest labor is done, now you trying to connect
And you can tell me, "Fuck you" but I really never hear it
You always want to ride, but you never want to steer it
And even though they hate it, Ray Rashad loves it
I'm bout to take a trip and I ain't taking me no luggage
How that make you feel son?

[Talking]
Since day one, day one, ain't nobody ever did shit like you. Ain't nobody ever went through shit like you. They ain't going places where you going. They ain't doing what you doing. You got to understand that son. Don't you worry about nothing. You just keep on doing what you got to do to survive

[Outro]
Let me pack my bags up man, take me a little trip. I need a vacation anyways
Where we going?
Let's go to Vegas man, I ain't been in a few years
Yes, let's go
