Текст песни: Lost in the Dark + перевод

Tell me why some people don’t, make it/

They can have the hustle and still not make it/

The fear of failure makes me feel complacent/

Taking these steps cautiously/

Not sure if I’ve been built strong enough for this dream/

I’m sorry to everyone who I might let down/

Like my momma and my daddy who think I’m a let down/

Momma I’m sorry for making you cry/

My dreams are stronger/

And it’s what I truly desire/

Seeing other artist love they moms/

With all the support they can give each other/

The birthday surprises/

The stage popups/

I know I’ll never have that/

Seeing you backstage in concerts/

Not having your support hurts/

All you want is the best for me/

And I understand/

But all I want is to live my dream/

All I want is to live my dream/

Stop wasting your time/

Go get yourself a real job/

That thing doesn’t, get you any money/

Do you know what you’re even doin',/

Get yourself a degree/

Quit wasting your time/

You’re not a fucking rapper/

Why don’t you find yourself a real job/

Why don’t you start paying your bills/

Stupid camera shit/

Wanna be fucking studio shit/

What about the bills that I got/

Your wasting your time/

Idiot/

Wasting money and food on you/

Wasting your credit and shit/

Fucking stupid/

This ain’t, fuckin', funny/

Why don’y you really stop/

Lazy ass/

Why don’t you get out of the house/

Take control over your life/

Is it even worth it/

Stop hanging out with your friends/

Fucking disorganized piece of shit/

Use your mind/

Wasting money on pictures and shit like that/

Get a real job/

The fuck man/

Fucking support, what support/

Do you understand what you’re doing to your life/

Get yourself a real fuckin', career/

I don’t care about the scars along the way/

I’m the coal with time I’m a diamond/

But I understand if you don’t see that/

One day I’ll have millions of supporters screamin/ believing in there visions

and dreams/

I know when you cry I can hear you every night/

Praying to God to change me/

To make me see the world with a different set of eyes/

I’m sorry/

I’ve never reached your expectations/

I’m sorry/

That I was never the man you wanted me to be

I’m sorry/

That I wasn’t as smart as Jezi/

I’m sorry/

That I wasn’t as religious as Daddy/

Daddy you know I love you/

From every action you’ve taken/

I’ve always been on your mind/

And I appreciate it/

I can’t ask for a better father/

But I won’t be blind I know you’re stubborn/

If you ever hear this please don’t cry/

I love you and your a OG/

I can see it right under your disguise/

You wanna see a future in me/

You wanna see your son in a chair/

With a suit and tie/

Taking calls/

On the top floor/

Be the boss with flexible time/

But that’s not me/

I’m sorry that’s not me/

I’m sorry I didn’t get the job you wanted/

I can’t live a life in a routine/

Hating my job even if I make hundreds/

It’s not me/

You’re sons a creative, destructive designer

Who’s only desire in life is to craft art with his mind/

I’m just wanting be an inspiration/

For this generation/

Shed some light with a tad of motivation/

So these kids can get up and run towards there greatness/

I know I was chosen/

Some won’t see that/

Some won’t see that/

I wanna be remembered as an icon/

I wanna be remembered as a bestfriend/

Wanna be remembered as a father/

Wanna be remembered as a grandson/

Wanna be remembered as a brother/

I wanna be remembered as a son/

I wanna be seen as a role model/

I wanna be remembered as an Icon

Life is a canvas/

You do what you want with it/

You use the colors that you desire/

The brushes that you feel that are just right/

But you don’t grasp your full potential/

You color what everyone else colors/

You use the same brush everyone else uses/

To have the satisfaction of being accepted/

You don’t want to stand out/

The fear of being laughed at for being different/

So we all paint in grey/

Emotionless/

Ambition with a clear vision/

Chasin', all my fears/

They don’t, get it/

Too focused to where I’m headed/

Life is a canvas got only one lifetime to finish/

Stop wastin', time and get up in it/

Got weight on my shoulders/

People sleepin', on me/

Got a coal soul/

Give me more pressure I need a shine/

Give me more time/

And you will see who I speak to/

I speak into they mind/

The art of evolvin'

The fruit of the greatest to ever live/

A legend dies/

Is reborn in 1996/

Heart movin', to the beat/

(bless)

Rap keep me alive/

(yes)

Waitin', for the power/

(yes)

Once the king steps down/

The next takes over/

I can feel it in my genes/

I can feel it/

(DAMN.)/

Give half of your melon/

I’m sure you will agree/

Transfer quarter pieces

Thru my pen/

Pull up/

Hop out/

Pull the trigger and shoot/

Only got one chance/

For you to make a move/

We got/

One life/

That’s just how it be/

Cut off all the people who got negativity/

Pull up/

Hop out/

Pull the trigger and shoot/

Only got one chance/

For you to make a move/

We got/

One life/

That’s just how it be/

Cut off all the people who got negativity/

Born a legend/

Legends neva', die/

Stay true to my roots/

Movin', in silence day and night/

Lowkey in the concrete jungle/

Breakin', walls thru every struggle/

Chasing the pursuit of happiness/

Money, power and fame/

Holding me back in chains/

But could I get my change?/

Maybe keep my two cents?/

Diggin', deep within this mine/

Finding gold inside my mind/

Let my riches flourish inside your life/

And maybe you’ll understand my vibe/

Uh-huh

I’m on the come up/

Give me 365 times four/

No more/

Chasin', dreams as I’m running with my fears/

Pointing a gun at my self-doubt/

Ain’t, no stoppin', me now/

Life got no protection/

When you allergic to that late text/

Why you wastin', your time/

Starin', at the TV screen/

1 show/

Too show/

Three shows/

Like that you will never be/

Tell me do you see your future/

Do you look at yourself in the mirror/

I’m thinkin', my skin is getting clearer/

Sensei thought me how to meditate/

Look into my eyes/

I see a king/

Who’s a crown for his city/

And a diamond in disguise/

But that’s me/

Who are you?/

Who you wanna be?/

A mediocre human being/

Who will be forgotten/

In 2083/

Let that sink in/

Life is a traffic jam/

You never wanna take shit for granted/

People expect to have results/

Without doing any of the practice/

What the fuck were you/

Fuckin', expecting?/

On to the next one/

Hear a thing or two/

You gotta love yourself/

You gotta look in the mirror/

You gotta believe/

Nothing in this world can stop you/

Except yourself/

Now throw dirt on me/

And watch me grow

Pull up/

Hop out/

Pull the trigger and shoot/

Only got one chance/

For you to make a move/

We got/

One life/

That’s, just how it be/

Cut off all the people who got negativity/

Pull up/

Hop out/

Pull the trigger and shoot/

Only got one chance/

For you to make a move/

We got/

One life/

That’s, just how it be/

Cut off all the people who got negativity/

Born a legend/

Legends neva', die/

Stay true to my roots/

Movin', in silence day and night/

Lowkey in the concrete jungle/

Breakin', walls thru every struggle/

Chasing the pursuit of happiness/

Money, power and fame/

Holdin', me back in chains/

But could I get my change?/

Maybe keep my two cents?/

Diggin', deep within this mine/

Finding gold inside my mind/

Let my riches flourish in your life/

Maybe you’ll understand my vibe/

Cause', I’m shooting for the king/

Ah/
