Transcendent - Ride On [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Screw a destiny, I’m making my own plans
And no man will stand between me and my chose path
I catch heat from these people with no fans
Stay frosty with a middle finger from both hands
Flipping scripts, never stick to the program
That’s why you’ll never see me with a pit and my own dance
I’ll never quit…chill a bit? There is no chance
Got no gifts; minus the training there is no Trans
I’ve worked hard, spent hours with the mouse and keys
Turned into a powerhouse and I’m not about to leave
If you’re doubting me, line up with the rest of ‘em
It’s not cocky when I say I’ll rock it with the best of ‘em
Heading to the top, cosigns are not needed
Rhyme scheming til their dome’s blown and they stop breathing
I’ve got demons and hell is where they’re taking me
But I face them every day; they’re basically creating me

[Chorus]
If you’re ever told that you ain’t good enough
Tell that em’ get another, ride on (What we tell em?)
Ride on to another, ride on (What we tell em?)
Ride on to another, ride on
[2x]

[Verse 2 – 12 bars]
I’ve been laughed at, put down, and ridiculed
Since I started spitting, which was when I finished middle school
I treat it as an unwritten rule
If you’re pushing hard enough for something, you best expect a bit of pull
People tend to criticize what they can’t accomplish
Due to lack of minds or of spines; I’m man that’s honest
Don’t give a damn ‘bout a handful of rap piranhas
Never sleeping with you fishes; go ahead and grab pajamas
I know I’ll never put the hate to bed
So I use it as a way to motivate instead
While you’re sitting latent, I’m anxious for the days ahead
Music’s in my blood so I’ll leave the planet painted red

[Chorus]

[Verse 3 – 16 bars]
To get anything in life, there’s only two things required
You have to be persistent, have to have desire
Fire burning in your stomach, climbing til you hit the summit
Dire urge to earn it til you got it or you kick the bucket
Screw excuses, they’re useless
You can find comfort in your reasons not to do it but the truth is
“Blood, sweat, and tears” is in no way hyperbolic
Cost of victory goes beyond what’s inside your wallet
It’s paid for in all the hours that you spent progressing
Every skill, every lesson a return on your investment
You can quit when someone says it can’t be done
Or suffer through the troubles until you become a champion
So when you’re told to abandon what you’re aiming for
Know you’re in control, not your family, your neighbors or
Anyone surrounding you; own your choices in the end
Having trouble getting there? Well, may I recommend that…

[Chorus]
