Introvert New Years 1400fish Stream Marathon - Page 3

These lyrics. So genius. Let me translate them for you white people:

Look I be riding through my old hood, but I'm in my new whip

Translation: I used to be really poor and live in a bad neighborhood, which was subject to a good degree of urban decay, and my motor vehicle was the reflection of this reality, as it was quite poor, and occasionally inoperable, but now that I am rich, I'm able to driving through the same bad neighborhood, but with a significantly better vehicle that most people can't even afford.

Same old attitude but I'm on that new shit

Translation: Now that I'm rich, you may think that my demeanor has become less rough-around-the-edges. To the contrary, I am still quite belligerent, and at times, completely unreasonable. Despite the fact that I exude the essence of a ruffian, I still am making the latest music, music that you will listen to.

They say they gon' rob me, see me never do shit

Translation: Because of my new-found success, some of my former friends in my old neighborhood have asserted that I no longer have the kill-or-be-killed mentality to survive in such a tumultuous environment, therefore, they are going to exploit my weakness by burglarizing my residence, or possibly stealing my new expensive vehicle, however, they are very much afraid of me, because deep down inside, they understand that I am still very much extremely good at fighting and am not afraid to kill if necessary.

Cause they know that's the reason that's gone end up on a news clips

Translation: As I have just stated, I have no intention of killing, but will certainly do so if necessary, and it will covered extensively on the local news media because of the extreme brutality of the murders.

Audemar on my wrist, bustdown

Translation: Let me reiterate that I am quite rich now, and besides my expensive car, I also have a very expensive watch.

We poppin bottles like I scored the winning touchdown

Translation: All of my friends and myself are celebrating my new-found success. I would like you all to know that every day of my life is filled with excessive celebration.

Remember Meek dead broke? Look at me, up now

Translation: When I was poor, very few people knew me. There was very little that set me apart from my friends, so I was quite lonely at times. I found my passion in hip-hop music, however, my hobby was met with mockery when my friends and family asserted that my hobby was fruitless, and I would not be able to turn it into a successful career. There point seemed to manifest itself in reality when I, in fact, had very little money at the beginning of my career as a rapper, but through a lot of hard work and dedication, I finally can say that I am quite successful, to the point of being able to throw a large party every single day.

I run my city from South Philly back to Uptown

Translation: Now everyone respects me, because they saw that hard work and dedication really does pay off. My friends and family now emulate me rather than mocking me, because they now see that I was correct to pursue my dreams.

Thank god, all these bottles I popped

Translation: I'm really rich now, and let me say again that I can afford to have a party every day, and these parties include expensive bottles of champagne.

All this paper I been gettin

Translation: Through my hip-hop career, I have acquired an extravagant amount of capital, which I refuse to store in the bank. I prefer to be paid directly in paper money, so that people I know can literally see how much I have.

All these models I popped

Translation: I have had sex with many beautiful women.

I done sold 100, 000 before my album got drop'd

Translation: Actually, to be quite honest, even before I released this song as a single, I was actually kind of successful while recording independently. If any of my enemies want to discredit my new-found success as a product of being a corporate pawn, I would like to point out that I don't necessarily need corporate backing to sell records, but now that I have signed a contract, I'm going to sell even more records than before, when I was selling them independently.

And I'm only 23 I'm the shit now look at me

Translation: Despite the fact that I am quite young, I'm very business-savvy, and this know-how has allowed me to record and sell a good deal of album copies early in my career, even though conventional wisdom would have you believe that a young man from such a poor socioeconomic background would not have the proper education to be able to execute such a venture, however, I managed to defy the odds and do just that.

Look at me I'm a boss like my nigga rozay

Translation: My music has been greatly influenced by my now-mentor and personal friend, William Roberts, who was nicknamed "Rick Ross", after the drug kingpin, Rick Donnell "Freeway" Ross, who oversaw drug operations in California during the 1980s. Although William himself is not the leader of a major gang, he has been arrested a few times for possession of marijuana, and also, concealed weapons charges, which he openly admits to. Because of his reputation as a reckless criminal, people from his neighborhood have come to fear and respect him as someone who is not to be trifled with. He once even was accused of organizing a gang assault against a DJ, primarily because the DJ may have expressed the slightest disrespect to William, who again, does not tolerate disrespect, and will respond to the said disrespect in a reckless and violent manner. The amount of respect he has garnered from his friends for his fearlessness has earned him the title "The boss". I, too, purport to be a reckless criminal, so I too can rightfully hold the nickname of a "boss", which William endorses wholeheartedly.

Shawty ask'd me for a check, I told that bitch like no way

Translation: My girlfriend asked me for some money, which I refused, as I do not respect women and their ability to manage their finances properly. On another occasion, a prostitute that I had sex with requested that I pay her for her services. I replied to her that she was gravely mistaken in her assertion that I owed her a fee, because we had not pre-agreed on any monetary exchange for sexual acts. I concluded by reminding her that I am very important, and she should be honored to simply be acknowledged by me.

Cause I made it from the bottom it was nothin' okay

Translation: Now, some people may think that I had to have struggled to reach my position of respect, money and power, but allow me to brag a bit here; for someone as intelligent as myself, it was actually not that difficult. I simply followed a proven business model, and it worked out brilliantly. Of course, again, I apologize if this sounds egotistical, but not everyone can simply do what I've done, because even though it wasn't difficult for myself, a successful hip-hop career is actually quite difficult for the majority of individuals who make their way into this business.

And I never had a job, you know I had to sell yay

Translation: Besides my career in hip-hop, I've never actually been officially employed at a formal job. When I was low on income, though, I put my reckless criminal mentality to the test by buying cocaine and selling it for a profit, which actually, reinforces my point that I have earned the title of a "boss", because in a way, I'm like a drug kingpin.

Bitch I'm a boss

Translation: So, I guess you could say I'm "a boss".

I call the shots

Translation: I call the shots, sometimes, quite literally. I know people who also are reckless criminals and will use their firearms to shoot people, sometimes with little or no reason.

I'm with the murder team

Translation: On occasion, I have been known to order these said people to assassinate my enemies.

Call the cops

Translation: Now, you can inform the law enforcement authorities about my actions, but at this point, it really doesn't matter. I have sufficient funds to battle my case out in court, and because my hitmen have technically committed the crimes, and were paid in cash, it will be extremely difficult to prosecute me, thus making any hope of justice for you hopeless.

We in the building

Translation: My friends and I, due to my enormous wealth, will be spending most of our time in VIP suites and having elaborate and expensive parties.

Y'all are not

Translation: Whereas, you peasants who are not my friends will not be joining me in said parties.

You short on the paper, you gon' ball or not

Translation: I would like to close this verse by reiterating the following points:

- I am very rich, and can literally display the money that I have earned because I don't store it in the bank.
- Despite enormous difficulty and hardships, I have easily amassed an enormous fortune.
- Regardless of what you may think of well-off people, and their disposition for avoiding violence, I am still very much a reckless criminal, and am quite dangerous.
- I now command a large group of other dangerous individuals, and you should respect that.
- I have many friends now, and have sex with many beautiful women (I do not give my money to the women, however)

Finally, I would like to say to my enemies and rivals that I have accomplished quite a feat in doing all of this, and I challenge any of you to match my accomplishments. If you cannot, I will count your arguments against me as void, and the discussion will be over.
