Supastition - Good As Gone [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Check this out, man. My homeboy called me up on the phone
He’s all bawling and crying and shit, talking about his girl had broke up
I’m like “nigga, what?” Know what I’m saying!

Verse one:
My homie hit me on the horn and 4 in the morn, son was all choked up
I’m yawning, he talking about him and his jawn broke up
My first thought was “so what!” the fuck a nigga crying for
But shorty had his mind in a blindfold
He would climb mountains and walk through fire to get admired by her
A day without her, he felt like he stopped living
He placed faith in her, lobster and steak dinners
She straight played with him, treated him like chopped liver
He said, I used to be the dude that she was loyal to
I used to feel like our future plans were foil-proof
Then I began to mature, know what I’m saying mi amor
She began to explore and ignore the truth
All she ever did was bitch about this and that
I gave her intellect but she preferred disrespect
I dug my own grave trying to hard
The broad treated me like U-God, there’s nothing left to RZArect
So I had to disconnect, packed my belongings
No longer will she stomp on this brother with a good heart
Now she’s crying “come back”, she’s turned a new page
Who’s to say she ain’t changed? but I don’t wanna be her bookmark
I mean really man I’ve dedicated years
She was easily impressed by new niggas in ear
Understand what I’m saying, Kam and where I’m coming from?
And I responded “yeah, sounds like my career”

Chorus:
See you’ll never miss the water ‘til the well runs dry
You realize good things are hard to come by
When you’re left empty-handed ‘cause you’re taken for granted
The moment that you miss it is when it’s not by your side
You gone miss it when it’s good as gone, when it’s good as gone
When it’s good as what what, it’s good as gone
When it’s good as gone, when it’s good as gone
When it’s good as what what, it’s good as gone

Verse two:
My brother, Kev stopped by the crib a Sunday or two ago
Right when I had finished up a verse in the studio
He said it’s gotta be beautiful, loving what you’re doing, bro
Compensated for doing shows out in Europe, yo
He said for what it’s worth, I work at this business firm
But my 9 to 5’s kind of like a prison term
An ego circus with me and my co-workers
I got big dreams but the screen’s close circuit
I break my back for the paper stacks
The backbone of the company, they’re fronting when I want a raise
These Uncle Toms just happy to have a job
Look back at me like I’m odd whenever I say I’m underpaid
And some people think the universe is in my hands
Just because a brother’s on a different pay scale
Hell, I mean I do get perks and it was cool at first
Am I ungrateful ‘cause I raise hell?
All my good deeds, no! nobody mentions it
When I mention should leave the job now they’re interested
Said I’m a great representative
But won’t spend a dime on me, man I’m trying to make sense of it
I probably would’ve stayed longer if I would’ve known
But people rarely honor things ‘til their good as gone
You feel me, Kam? man, I’ve had it up to here
I responded back, “yeah, you described my career”

Chorus:
See you’ll never miss the water ‘til the well runs dry
You realize good things are hard to come by
When you’re left empty-handed ‘cause you’re taken for granted
The moment that you miss it is when it’s not by your side
You gone miss it when it’s good as gone, when it’s good as gone
When it’s good as what what, it’s good as gone
When it’s good as gone, when it’s good as gone
When it’s good as what what, it’s good as gone
