Watsky - Five Finger Discount [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

***5/4 RHYTHM***

Intro

George:

I'm bringing stage fright to this cage fight
Take a right hook in my book, I'm shook
Grin and make nice, take flight like a Batman wannabe
It 's Robin saving Gotham! thought I was wallaby road kill
But I was playing possum, cuz I got Rocko's Modern lifestyle
Badly drawn animal with a nice smile
Taking the case quick like a lawyer on a timed trial
If you got a while kicking it wishing you were listening to different shit
(You're wrong!) It's wishful thinking cuz you missed your stop
All aboard my train of thought!
I think I crave attention (did you hear me?) I think I crave attention!
If I just skip town and live now on Broadway with Georgie Benson
It's kinda sick how I get loud, you get the gist now
Think it's four on the floor but it's a miscount
I'mma steal the show now FIVE FINGER DISCOUNT!

This is for the fast mouths
The ADD kids, brainy geeks chicks, and the class clowns
This is passed down, every smart ass has to act out
Every kid who ever saw the spotlight in the background
50-cent is basically a theater geek with some cash now
I bet he bumps the Rent soundtrack in his 'Lac when he packs now
Where you cats now?
Enough of the talk, I'm up at the spot, and coming to rock
Been stuck in a rut and I'm bucking the box
Fuck it I'm kicking the bucket if I get the stomach to STOP
Keep your shy side in the high parts, check the pie charts
We're getting high marks bringing hip-hop to the fine arts
I got a big mouth, if I sit down, I could flip out
If it's 4/4 it's a miscount
I'mma steal the show now FIVE FINGER DISCOUNT!

Instrumental break

Max:

This is a race to the top to rock and never stop
Yo we're on pace to deface what was called hip-hop
But don't knock us for being willing to bust such unusual
Trust us to do what we must because we're wipin the dust off the music
We're takin it back from wack Cadillac dudes busting shots over silly crap
BRRRRRRRRRRRAP!!!! Are you seriously feeling that?
(Pssh, I don't know.) Let us take a crack at it (okay)
I guess we're not hustling a crack addict but I've just had it
Cuz I've got a stage habit and this music has a rage habit
And I'll never get my fix if it stays like this
I miss the kiss of the mic so I insist, give it back
You're stacked, you're wack, get out
I think you know what this is, FIVE FINGER DISCOUNT!
