SaulPaul - I Can Only Be Me [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

HOOK [SaulPaul]
Lord, I tried hard (but still I fail)
So far, so short (and now I know)
One thing for sure
I Can Only Be Me (I Can Only Be Me)

Lord, I tried hard (but still I fail)
So far, so short (and now I know)
One thing for sure
I Can Only Be Me (I Can Only Be Me)

VERSE 1 [SaulPaul]
I was born with a purpose but I’m nervous
Cause I could still fail
So I’m posted on the curb here
Steady serving, grinding getting this mail
I ain’t scared of jail
But it seems I’m afraid to bare
My soul and expose myself and live life free without a care

But I know it’s a cost that I got to pay if I desire to live my dream
So I tell it like it is through my tears to my peers rather than how it seems
Thus I’ve been free from violent dreams and silent screams
I realize, I can only be me, a born again G, that ride for the king

HOOK

VERSE 2 [SaulPaul]
My destiny is so clear to me
Problems ain’t nothing but therapy
Prepared for me if I care to be
What God spoke and shared with me
See he was there for me, cared for me
Plotted my course carefully
And dared a “G” to be a blessing be
Weather the storm and then rest in peace

Bad weathers the norm
It stay stressing me
I understand he’s just testing me
I’m trying to be a gangster of where the lesson be
Get to the other side where the blessing be
My problems would have crushed a lesser “G”
But I’m to real to let them get the best of me
I recognize God want the best of me
And He got to be a gambler if he invest in me

And if the odds are against me he gets a better return
The way that I’m built it’s just the better I learn
I think it makes sense just to wait my turn
Cause the games on tilt to many players with perms
So I’m holding it true
Holding it down till he make it do what it do
It’s life then afterlife in a penthouse view
And the latter right now
We got to make the right moves

BRIDGE [SaulPaul]
If I knew what I now know (ey ooh)
Maybe five years ago (ey ooh)
I’d be so far though (ey ooh)
But I can only be me
But since I got no time machine (machine)
Right now must be the time for me (for me)
If not, I still believe (believe)
‘Cause I can only be me

It goes down right now, now, now, now
It goes down right now, now, now, now
It goes down right now, now, now, now
If your minds right then you shine right now, now

It goes down right now, now, now, now
It goes down right now, now, now, now
It goes down right now, now, now, now
If your mind right then you shine right now, now
