The Grouch & Eligh - Good Man [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1:]
Black is a seed
But got instilled in
Me was a need to achieve my millions
Don’t gotta mean money, but if we did build
Then it was a sturdy structure real deal
With a genuine eye, for beauty I strive
To make it a classic, outlast and survive
Passion and drive kept me up late at night
As an early teenager I fought a good fight
Didn’t come from privilege but lived this life
For every breath I take, I think now twice
Perfect no dice far from it in fact
May rise then plummet, summit in tact
So I’ve been widening my views
If I’m satisfied, then I can't lose
No matter what fools, project onto you
Don't let ‘em intrude, know what is true

[ooh oohoo ooooooh oohoo oooooh]
[Repeat]

[Badadah deedah deh dadah deee]
[Repeat]

[Chorus:]
[DIdn't’ I treat you right now...Didn’t I]
We got it good now lets always remember it
[DIdn't’ I treat you right now...Didn’t I]
It ain’t a comp. there’s no one to contend with
[Didn't I do the best I could...Didn’t I]
Come from the heart and the hustle is strong
[Didn't I do the best I could...Didn’t I]
Done with this part now start the song

[Verse 2:]
Did I pass all your tests, i’m a good man
Hope i did learn for the pitfalls and circumstance
Now I pass on my song to the bad boys
Of which i was still in the process of work of art
With a stronger heart now than i ever had
Maneuvering so clever pull the lever mic can set ‘em back
To where we met ‘em at
Purity, clarity, cherish me go always remember that
Through November pain, and December rain
Man will return again, flame burn, earn a name
Another turn on the wheel i spunnit
Now i do unto others like they kept it one hundred
Stepping on from this next plateau please
Isn’t it fresh yes, you should know me
Beatin’ on my chest like i’m the “OG”
Cause i did my best, and that’s my trophy

[I’m ‘bout to make it rain]
[Repeat]

[Chorus:]
[Didn't’ I treat you right now...Didn’t I]
We got it good now lets always remember it
[DIdn't’ I treat you right now...Didn’t I]
It ain’t a comp. there’s no one to contend with
[Didn't I do the best I could...Didn’t I]
Come from the heart and the hustle is strong
[Didn't I do the best I could...Didn’t I]
Done with this part now push it along

[Verse 2:]
Made a meal and we all ate
Tummies full most days
Kept her safe, keep it true
Me and you always
I was from a space of a dirt huslin’
Coming up clean just tryin’ to mean something
Every moon, sharpening, gotta make marks in ‘em
Start your engines, friends, we’re in this
First lemme claim this independence
Lay the foundation the build the kinship
We’ve spilled what I feel on the paper i meant it
Wielding my weapon like the greatest invention
Hate haters no mention, imagine that
This is not a pageant the beauty is vast
Gas brake dippin’ it that take ridiculous
Not pass say I say we did it the ‘G’est way
PSA everyday all day
From CA to see the world i play a hard...Game

[Chorus:]
[Simultaneously}
[badadah deedah deh dadah deee]
[I’m ‘bout to make it rain]
[Repeat]
[DIdn't’ I treat you right now...Didn’t I]
We got it good now lets always remember it
[DIdn't’ I treat you right now...Didn’t I]
It ain’t a comp. there’s no one to contend with
[Didn't I do the best i could...Didn’t I]
Come from the heart and the hustle is strong
[Didn't I do the best i could...Didn’t I]
Done with this part now push it along

[Verse 3:]
And so we laugh, smile, dance ‘n’ kiss
Enjoying every moment like our last to live
So rap, scratch play ‘n’ bond
Loving every level like the faith is gone
And so we laugh, smile, dance ‘n’ kiss
Enjoying every moment like our last to live
So rap, scratch play ‘n’ bond
Loving every level like the faith is gone

[I’m ‘bout to make it rain]
[Repeat]

[Instrumental]

[Outro:]
DIdn’t I treat you right now
DIdn’t i give you everything
Try my best just to be a man
