MVP by Russ
Lyrics & Translation
English
Yeah
Make money off of bein' myself
Get a glimpse of my potential, I believe in myself
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
It's gettin' harder to tell the difference between reality and dreams
The lines keep blurrin' like I'm drivin' half asleep
I'm invitin' you to see who's next up in this rap shit
Hooks, beats and verses, every song I score a hat trick
Always said I'd never sign but lately, I been tempted
'Cause my dad just asked for gas money, my mom just said she spent it
It's easy to pass judgement when you comfortable in life
But desperation breeds a beast, the truth won't always be polite
So I'm fresh up off the flight, headed towards a life boat
Hope their word has good credit like a FICO
Only time will tell but I been feelin' like it's my time
How long you gonna keep your star player on the sidelines?
But, I'm the coach, guess God is the owner
Guess I'm just waitin' for that tap on my shoulder
Tellin' me to go in, I'ma stop the game
Blow the whistle like Snowden, young Terrell Owens
Makin' noise, still one of the greats though
I never RIP, I want MVP written on my gravestone
Your boy buzzin' in I swear this life is like a game show
One man army, when I sing, I get Tank hoes
Yeah, you know that R&B freak love
Weed so loud, I need you all to speak up
I hope every album that I drop has Carter 3 buzz
Wake up, I'm tryna live a life you couldn't dream of
I'm careful with who I include in all of this
'Cause most want a free ride but I ain't handin' out scholarships
Went to college for a semester
All it taught me was that college ain't for everyone
I'm not like everybody, so I left
My mom still supported but she was upset
'Till she saw the crowd scream my name out on Sunset
She got to watch her son light up the whole spot
Right there in that moment it's like she understood my whole plot
Different women, different offers every day now
I could see the reason why some people wanna hate now
'Cause my past 24 been more action packed than Jack Bauer
Made 100 thousand in the past hour
It's been a whirlwind, let me hit the blunt with you
Barely in the industry and I already got trust issues
Damn, or maybe past relationships, did that
I gave 'em all my trust and I ain't never get this shit back
But, fuck it, 'cause I'm on to new things
I looked up at the sky, long enough, I grew wings
Now I'm talkin' to myself like they gon' try and break you
God forbid that happens, breakdowns create break throughs
I'm sittin' on the debut, sounds like your greatest hits
Labels tryna eat, so of course they want a stake in it
And of course they talk of money, so of course I entertain this shit
Of course they lookin' at my table tryna find a place to sit
I'm patient with my process, weighin' all my options
Ya'll talkin' way too much, all these phone calls sound like auctions
Funny 'cause you used to laugh when I would say I'm ready
Now the ones who doubted me are gonna tell you how they met me
When I'm standin' where I knew I would, number 1 spot
Another year, another rapper, yeah, another one flop
Ya'll barely fuckin' the game, you on the scene for 5 minutes
Then you bust and it's over, I'm a movie, you're just a snippet
This that '89 Pistons, fuck the game up, get rings shit
Name your favorite rapper, bet I got him on my hit list
Name your dream girl, bet I end up on her wish list
Tell me how you want it, beast raps, or I could sing shit
It's time to wake up, industry full of hypnotists
I speak for myself, I don't need a ventriloquist
I need a vacation to where the real people live
You just stay on vacation, havin' real ego trips
You don't wanna admit, that without you I'd be fine
But the truth is hard to swallow when you chokin' on your pride
That goes for the girls I swooped in on
Made their brain drool, they gave top with a bib on
Always keep my switch on, watch me illuminate
Up at the studio, Drake is just a room away
Maybe I should barge in, maybe I should wait
This gon' be a funny story couple months from today
When I tell it, and it's like
Damn, yup

MVP (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Sí
Ganar dinero por ser yo mismo
Echa un vistazo a mi potencial, creo en mí mismo
Sí
Sí
Sí
Sí
Se está volviendo más difícil distinguir entre la realidad y los sueños
Las líneas siguen borrosas como si condujera medio dormido
Te invito a ver quién es el próximo en esta mierda de rap
Ganchos, ritmos y versos, en cada canción anoto un hat-trick
Siempre dije que nunca firmaría, pero últimamente he estado tentado
Porque mi papá acaba de pedir dinero para gasolina, mi mamá acaba de decir que lo gastó
Es fácil juzgar cuando estás cómodo en la vida
Pero la desesperación engendra una bestia, la verdad no siempre será educada
Así que acabo de bajar del vuelo, rumbo a un bote salvavidas
Espero que su palabra tenga buen crédito como un FICO
Solo el tiempo lo dirá, pero he estado sintiendo que es mi momento
¿Cuánto tiempo vas a mantener a tu jugador estrella en la banca?
Pero, soy el entrenador, supongo que Dios es el dueño
Supongo que solo estoy esperando ese toque en mi hombro
Diciéndome que entre, voy a detener el juego
Tocar el silbato como Snowden, el joven Terrell Owens
Haciendo ruido, sigue siendo uno de los grandes
Nunca RIP, quiero MVP escrito en mi lápida
Tu chico zumbando, juro que esta vida es como un programa de juegos
Un ejército de un solo hombre, cuando canto, consigo chicas de Tank
Sí, conoces ese amor de R&B freak
Hierba tan fuerte, necesito que todos hablen más alto
Espero que cada álbum que lance tenga el zumbido de Carter 3
Despierta, estoy tratando de vivir una vida que no podrías soñar
Soy cuidadoso con quién incluyo en todo esto
Porque la mayoría quiere un viaje gratis, pero no estoy repartiendo becas
Fui a la universidad por un semestre
Todo lo que me enseñó fue que la universidad no es para todos
No soy como todos, así que me fui
Mi mamá todavía me apoyaba, pero estaba molesta
Hasta que vio a la multitud gritar mi nombre en Sunset
Pudo ver a su hijo iluminar todo el lugar
Justo en ese momento, fue como si entendiera todo mi plan
Diferentes mujeres, diferentes ofertas todos los días ahora
Puedo ver la razón por la que algunas personas quieren odiar ahora
Porque mis últimas 24 horas han sido más llenas de acción que Jack Bauer
Hice cien mil en la última hora
Ha sido un torbellino, déjame fumar el porro contigo
Apenas en la industria y ya tengo problemas de confianza
Maldita sea, o tal vez relaciones pasadas, hice eso
Les di toda mi confianza y nunca recuperé esta mierda
Pero, a la mierda, porque estoy en cosas nuevas
Miré al cielo, el tiempo suficiente, me salieron alas
Ahora me hablo a mí mismo como si fueran a intentar romperte
Dios no quiera que eso suceda, las crisis crean avances
Estoy sentado en el debut, suena como tus grandes éxitos
Las discográficas intentan comer, así que por supuesto quieren una parte
Y por supuesto hablan de dinero, así que por supuesto entretengo esta mierda
Por supuesto que están mirando mi mesa tratando de encontrar un lugar para sentarse
Soy paciente con mi proceso, sopesando todas mis opciones
Ustedes hablan demasiado, todas estas llamadas telefónicas suenan a subastas
Gracioso porque solían reírse cuando decía que estaba listo
Ahora los que dudaron de mí les dirán cómo me conocieron
Cuando esté donde sabía que estaría, el puesto número 1
Otro año, otro rapero, sí, otro fracaso
Ustedes apenas están jodiendo el juego, están en la escena por 5 minutos
Luego explotan y se acabó, soy una película, ustedes son solo un fragmento
Esto es como los Pistons del '89, joder el juego, conseguir anillos
Nombra a tu rapero favorito, apuesto a que lo tengo en mi lista de éxitos
Nombra a la chica de tus sueños, apuesto a que termino en su lista de deseos
Dime cómo lo quieres, raps de bestia, o podría cantar mierda
Es hora de despertar, la industria está llena de hipnotizadores
Hablo por mí mismo, no necesito un ventrílocuo
Necesito unas vacaciones donde viva la gente real
Tú solo te quedas de vacaciones, teniendo verdaderos viajes de ego
No quieres admitir que sin ti estaría bien
Pero la verdad es difícil de tragar cuando te ahogas en tu orgullo
Eso va para las chicas a las que me acerqué
Les hice babear el cerebro, me dieron sexo oral con un babero puesto
Siempre mantengo mi interruptor encendido, mírame iluminar
En el estudio, Drake está a solo una habitación de distancia
Quizás debería irrumpir, quizás debería esperar
Esta será una historia divertida dentro de un par de meses
Cuando la cuente, y sea como
Maldita sea, sí
