Top Flight - My Soul [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Chorus [Top Flight]
I let the old me drown
Nothing's gonna’ hold me down
I don't need to hold the crown
I just wanna’ spread my soul around
But will I ever get the chance?
I won't know if I don't roll
So I've got to advance
Until the world holds my soul

Verse 1 [Top Flight]
My soul's like a barcode, waiting to be scanned
I just pray that one day, the world takes my hand
Until a few months ago, none of this was planned
It took me two years just to find out where I stand
Before I found my brand I had no purpose in music
People thought that I should land and that it's worthless to do this
They still do, but the doubting only makes my brain tough
I’m used to people clouting me with all the same stuff
Like your plane will never get lifted, why won't you listen
What makes you different from all these other musicians
You’re a fool for leaving school, start saving for tuition
And come party with us dude, you don't know what your missing
See, it's hard because a part of me agrees with them
But the other part believes I need to reach within
And hand the land my soul, with no edits
I just hope that the globe lets me spread it

Chorus [Top Flight]
I let the old me drown
Nothing's gonna’ hold me down
I don't need to hold the crown
I just wanna’ spread my soul around
But will I ever get the chance?
I won't know if I don't roll
So I've got to advance
Until the world holds my soul

Verse 2 [Top Flight]
Overtime, my dreams have been evolving
Before I wrote a rhyme, I was all about balling
I picked sports to maintain as my addiction
I would hit the court to restrain my afflictions
But when my dad departed, the pain started kicking
My dreams turned to nightmares everything was glitching
I fell in love with drugs, and it became a contradiction
I put partying above, every frame I had visioned
So it came to the decision, of what I wanted more
To succeed, or weed, man I wasn't sure
But I knew, I would fail, if I kept, smoking L's
Cause whenever I was toasted I stayed posted in my shell
Man I would never get nothing done!
All I ever put my focus on was puffin one
So finally, I put drugs behind me
And now it's seems steps to my dreams, are declining

Chorus [Top Flight]
I let the old me drown
Nothing's gonna’ hold me down
I don't need to hold the crown
I just wanna’ spread my soul around
But will I ever get the chance?
I won't know if I don't roll
So I've got to advance
Until the world holds my soul

Bridge/Outro [Top Flight]
Until the world holds my soul
I will never fold
Until it holds my soul
Then I won't fold
