Paroles
«Herbert Anthony you need to get you life together»
That’s my momma bothered by how I live life like whatever
They say I’m pressed for time, but I don’t press the issue
I just stay on my grind, chain smoking marijuan help me free my mind
What a coincidence, like feeling guilt trickin by your innocence
In a sense I’m livin in my second childhood
Don’t pay a lick of rent, rhyme, eat, sleep, and shit
And when you twenty-two that don’t sound good
Maybe if I went to school it’ll be cool
I’ve have something to fall back on if this rap don’t crack
Perhaps I’d have a better story had I sold crack
Let’s go back, to Carson high fluctuating my goals
Writing rhymes through the lecture knew I should’ve took notes
Sometimes I think I’m running in place, chasing hopes
Rejoice my name as Ab-Soul or is it average joe
All this commotion goes in one ear, out the other
I’m still gone make it, one way or the other
(Quit acting like a kid herb, gone be a man
It’s a man’s world, how you suppose to feed your fam
You need to act more like an adult, pull up your pants
I know you do music but what’s your plan B man)
If I knew when I was younger would I grew to know
I coulda tackle things more different, coulda been more defensive
Coulda been more responsible, coulda been more persistent
But I didn’t and I ain’t repenting
My parents wake up in the morning to a cup of coffee
Then go off to work it kills’em when I’m still in bed snoring
Only if they knew, their young boy was in the stu
'Til like 5 AM cookin up classics to make them
Proud it’s house niggas that could stay in That was rather rash, but you can replace this scraps with straight cash
I told jay I’m a buy you a house one day
I probably send Katie & to college too
But right now I’m broke as a joke, I should do comedy
Dude, I need a job, somebody hire me fast
So I could win my girl over, she probably cheatin on my ass
You motherfuckers better try and snatch her while she up for grabs
It’s like real difficult to articulate it It’s like you got your goals, you got your aspirations
Your dreams, and you chasing that, you pursuing that
But in-turn it cost for you to sacrifice alot of your availability to go out
their and get this paper, nah mean?
It’s hard to say you a man still and livin at your momma house
Yo, I had a conversation with my step-pops
Basically inquiring the time frame when I’m a pop
I told’em I ain’t know but I’m determined to blow
Not like a fluffer, more like plaques that’s platinum and gold
That’s on my great-grandmother
He shook his head and said:
«I don’t know much about the music industry but what’s been said
The people ain’t making no bread, let’s be more realistic
How you gone take care of a wife? how you gone feed your children
I’m on my knees everyday tryna provide for ya’ll
I bought that car that you dippin, but you don’t chip in You shouldve went to UCLA, like your cousin Jay
He got a big signing bonus, every year like 80k»
I looked him in the face and said «it ain’t about the money
And honestly buying an education sounds funny
But have a little faith in your son, I’ll come through for ya»
He said be a man Herb, that’s all I really want from ya
Traduction des paroles
Pour que je puisse gagner ma fille, elle a probablement tricher sur mon cul
Vous feriez mieux d'essayer de l'arracher pendant qu'elle est à sa portée
C'est vraiment difficile de l'articuler C'est comme si vous aviez vos objectifs, vos aspirations
Tes rêves, et tu poursuis ça, tu poursuis ça
Mais à son tour, il vous en coûte de sacrifier beaucoup de votre disponibilité pour sortir
leur et obtenir ce papier, nah signifie?
Il est difficile de dire que vous êtes encore un homme et que vous vivez chez votre maman
Yo, j'ai eu une conversation avec mon beau-père
Fondamentalement demander le délai quand je suis un pop
J'ai dit em je ne sais pas, mais je suis déterminé à coup
Pas comme un fluffer, plus comme des plaques de platine et d'or
C'est sur mon arrière-grand-mère
Il secoua la tête et dit:
"Je ne sais pas grand chose sur l'industrie de la musique, mais ce qui a été dit
Les gens ne font pas de pain, soyons plus réalistes
Comment vous allé prendre soin d'une femme? comment tu es parti nourrir tes enfants
Je suis à genoux tous les jours tryna prévoir pour ya'll
J'ai acheté la voiture que tu as achetée, mais tu n'y vas pas, tu devrais aller à UCLA, comme ton cousin Jay
Il a eu une grosse prime à la signature, chaque année comme 80k»
Je l'ai regardé en face et j'ai dit " ce n'est pas à propos de l'argent
Et honnêtement acheter une éducation semble drôle
Mais ayez un peu confiance en votre fils, je viendrai à travers pour vous»
Il a dit être un homme Herb, c'est tout ce que je veux vraiment de toi
