I'm hopin' I don't look down
Ayy, long enough to see me drown
And if I ever come down
I'll be fallin' on the solid ground
Sanderlei Silveira - 24/06/2023 - BR X
I'm hopin' I don't look down
Ayy, long enough to see me drown
And if I ever come down
I'll be fallin' on the solid ground
Fallin' on the solid ground
Ayy, long enough to see me drown
And if I ever come down
I'll be fallin' on the solid ground
[Verse]
Today, I had a conversation with one of my bros
My homie, he's been close to me since we were six years old
He calls my mama, "Mom," he seen all of my highs and lows
From school fights to sharin' clothes
From B-ball to fuckin' hoes
He sat me down and let me know some things he never told me
Things he never got a chance to say or even show me
He said, "I know I don't tell you often, maybe not even at all
But I'm so proud of you and your success, broski
And I admire how you chase your dreams, that shit's courageous
Thank you for never switchin' up when you got rich and famous
Thank you for never givin' up on me or havin' lesser love for me
Whenever we lose touch and be on different pages
I hope you know I'm here for you the way you there for me
It's crazy, you done more for me than all my family tree
And when I say I got your back, just know I really squeeze
And make some niggas really bleed, that's really what I really mean
I'm proud of how much you matured and grew, but you still you
The world knows you for your talent, but I know the real you
And all your trauma's behind closed doors, you'll never heal through
And all the pain, you act like you don't feel, but you still do
I love the fact you keep your shit together, mentally
You work hard for your respect, don't need no empathy
When people look you over and shut you out intentionally
You always said, 'If they don't fuck with you, they will eventually'
But remember when I went through prison?
When I did a bid and you the only one that came to visit?
Put money on my books and sent me pictures of some bitches?
They don't make 'em like you no more, my nigga, you just different
And bro, you ain't have to pay my niece's tuition
Or set me up with that new job and try to teach me the business
Always quick to hold me down before you speak your opinion
What goes around, comes around and that's the reason you winnin'
But listen, I was thinkin', maybe
Since you my broski and I been there since we was babies
You can hit the bank and break me off with somethin' wavy?
Maybe just a couple hundred-thousand? Nothin' crazy
Cause I been hurtin' lately and I deserve it, maybe
And if you can't do it, that's cool, it ain't like I'll be angry
You still my broski and I love you, but that's kind of shady
Cause I been goin' through some shit, it ain't like I'm just lazy
So maybe you should pay me
I quit my job 'cause I don't wanna work for no other niggas
What maybe works for some, don't work for some other niggas
Yeah, they pay good, but you know I'm a stubborn nigga
Plus, I know you got my back, right?
If not, then fuck it, I ain't askin' again
Just don't forget who walked with you when your back to the wind
And don't forget who's ideas that got you rappin' again
When you lost your passion and got lazy, and was slackin' and shit
And please don't treat me like them niggas that be askin' for shit
Cause I never asked you for a damn thing
I'd rather pull a hamstring and then run across some fan blades while jumpin' out a airplane
While sittin' in the damn rain, while beggin' for some spare change
I'm sorry that we all can't be talented and rich like you
The little people still struggle, we ain't lit like you
And if we bein' honest, it don't really seem like you want me to chase my dreams so I can get like you
And lately, you been on some sucker shit, that's what I see, broski
I hope you know that hater shit is a disease, broski
Cause last time I checked, we was a fuckin' team
And just because you got paper, don't mean that you better than me, broski
I know everything about you
I know every single secret
I know where you rest your head at
I know every bitch you sleep with
I know where you keep your bread at
I pretended I don't see shit
You a greedy motherfucker, you been hopin' I don't be shit
You been gettin' fat while I been starvin'
You been buyin' every car and house while I been in the garbage
I deserve everything you got and more, and that's a bargain
You just wanna shit on me and see me fall, and that's alarmin'
You just hopin' I'ma tarnish
You don't want me to be nothin'
You don't wanna open doors for me
You did a lil' somethin', but you could've did a lil' more for me
No wonder why your father turned his back on you, unfortunately
No wonder why your niggas set them traps on you to sorcery
You ain't nothin' but a phony, you a liar, you a snake
And you can rap but you ain't Kendrick, you ain't Cole, you ain't Drake
Can't believe I called you family, I should shoot you in the face
Used to act like you was real, but always knew that you was fake
You let the fame get to your head and all it did was made you whack
I always knew the day would come when you would stab me in my back
One day, your money gon' be gone and I'll be happy, that's a fact
And then you'll move back to the hood and I'll be laughin' when you back
But you my nigga and I love you
And I wanna see you win, I wouldn't place no one above you
And you always been my friend since we was steppin' in the puddles
Real niggas don't pretend 'cause you're my brother, you my double
You my motherfuckin' twin, and I wanna let you know how I appreciate the things you show me
It's kind of hard to trust niggas, that's why I keep you closely
And look, I know that I don't tell you often, maybe not even at all
But I'm so proud of you and your success, broski"

I'm hopin' I don't look down
Ayy, long enough to see me drown
And if I ever come down
I'll be fallin' on the solid ground
Fallin' on the solid ground
Ayy, long enough to see me drown
And if I ever come down
I'll be fallin' on the solid—

Hopin 'Ne gledam dolje
Ayy, dovoljno dugo da me vidi kako se utopim
A ako ikad siđem
Padat ću na čvrsto tlo
Pasti na čvrsto tlo
Ayy, dovoljno dugo da me vidi kako se utopim
A ako ikad siđem
Padat ću na čvrsto tlo

Danas sam razgovarao s jednim od svojih brosa
Moja homie, bio mi je blizak od naše šest godina
Naziva moju mamu, "mama", vidio je sve moje vrhunce i padove
Od školskih borbi do Sharin 'odjeće
Od b-lopte do jebenih motika
Sjeo me i dao mi do znanja o nekim stvarima koje mi nikad nije rekao
Stvari koje nikad nije dobio priliku reći ili čak pokazati mi
Rekao je: "Znam da vam ne kažem često, možda ni uopće
Ali tako sam ponosan na tebe i tvoj uspjeh, Broski
I divim se kako proganjaš svoje snove, to je sranje hrabro
Hvala što se nikada nije prebacio kad ste se obogatili i poznati
Hvala ti što nikad nije dao na mene ili imaš manju ljubav prema meni
Kad god izgubimo kontakt i budemo na različitim stranicama
Nadam se da znate da sam ovdje za tebe onako kako si tamo za mene
Ludo je, učinio si više za mene nego cijelo moje obiteljsko stablo
A kad kažem da sam ti se vratio, samo znaj da se stvarno stisnem
I neka neka crnja stvarno krvare, to je stvarno ono što stvarno mislim
Ponosan sam na to koliko ste sazreli i rasli, ali ti si još uvijek
Svijet vas poznaje zbog vašeg talenta, ali znam da ste pravi
I sve vaše traume iza zatvorenih vrata, nikad nećete zacijeliti
I svu bol, ponašaš se kao da se ne osjećaš, ali još uvijek to radiš
Volim činjenicu da držiš svoja sranja zajedno, mentalno
Naporno radite na svom poštovanju, ne treba vam empatiju
Kad vas ljudi pogledaju i namjerno vas isključe
Uvijek ste rekli: "Ako se ne jebe s tobom, na kraju će"
Ali sjećate se kad sam prošao kroz zatvor?
Kad sam obavio ponudu i vi jedini koji je došao u posjet?
Stavite novac na svoje knjige i poslali mi slike nekih kuja?
Ne čine ih više poput tebe, moja crnja, samo ste drugačiji
I brate, ne moraš platiti školovanje moje nećakinje
Ili me postavite s tim novim poslom i pokušajte me naučiti
Uvijek me brzo držite prije nego što izgovorite svoje mišljenje
Ono što ide okolo, dolazi okolo i to je razlog zbog kojeg Winnin '
Ali slušaj, razmišljao sam, možda
Budući da smo ti moj Broski i ja bili tamo otkad smo bili bebe
Možete udariti u banku i razbiti me nešto valoviti?
Možda samo nekoliko stotina tisuća? Ništa ludo
Jer sam u posljednje vrijeme povrijeđen i zaslužio sam, možda
A ako to ne možeš, to je u redu, nije kao da ću biti ljut
Ti još uvijek moj Broski i ja te volim, ali to je nekako sjenovit
Jer sam prolazio kroz neko sranje, nije kao da sam samo lijen
Pa možda bi mi trebao platiti
Napustio sam posao jer ne želim raditi ni za jednu drugu crnku
Ono što možda djeluje za neke, nemojte raditi za neke druge crnje
Da, plaćaju dobro, ali znate da sam tvrdoglav crnja
Osim toga, znam da si mi dobio leđa, zar ne?
Ako ne, jebi ga, opet ne pitam
Samo ne zaboravite tko je hodao s tobom kad vam se leđa na vjetar
I ne zaboravite tko su ideje zbog kojih ste ponovno rapilirali
Kad ste izgubili strast i postali lijeni, i slabili su se i sranje
I molim vas, nemojte se tretirati prema meni kao s njima crnjama koje traže sranje
Jer te nikad nisam pitao za prokletu stvar
Radije bih izvukao koznu, a zatim prešao preko nekih ventilacijskih noževa dok sam skakao iz zrakoplova
Dok sjedi u prokletoj kiši, dok moli za neke rezervne promjene
Žao mi je što svi ne možemo biti talentirani i bogati poput tebe
Mali ljudi se još uvijek bore, nismo upaljeni poput tebe
A ako smo iskreni, zapravo ne izgleda kao da želiš da jurim svoje snove kako bih mogao doći do tebe
I u posljednje vrijeme, bio si na nekim sranjem u sranju, to je ono što vidim, Broski
Nadam se da znate da je mrzila sranja bolest, Broski
Jer sam posljednji put kad sam provjerio, bili smo jebeni tim
I samo zato što ste dobili papir, ne znači da ste bolji od mene, Broski
Znam sve o tebi
Znam svaku pojedinu tajnu
Znam gdje odmaraš glavu u
Znam svaku kučku s kojom spavaš
Znam gdje držite kruh na
Pretvarao sam se da ne vidim sranje
Ti si pohlepni matičar, hvalio si se sranje
Debeo si dok sam bio zvijezda
Kupili ste svaki automobil i kuću dok sam bio u smeću
Zaslužujem sve što imate i više, i to je cjenkanje
Samo želiš sranje na mene i vidiš me kako padam, i to je alarmiranje
Samo hopin 'ja sam tarnish
Ne želiš da ne budem ništa
Ne želiš otvoriti vrata za mene
Napravio si lil 'nešto, ali mogao si učiniti više za mene
Nije ni čudo zašto je vaš otac okrenuo leđa na vas, nažalost
Nije ni čudo zašto su ih tvoje crnje postavile zamke na vas u čarobnjaštvo
Nisi ništa, već laž, lažljivac, zmija ti
I možeš rap, ali nisi Kendrick, nisi cole, nisi Drake
Ne mogu vjerovati da sam te nazvao obitelji, trebao bih te upucati u lice
Nekad se ponašala kao da si bila stvarna, ali uvijek sam znala da ste lažni
Pustili ste da vam slava dođe do glave i sve što ste učinili bilo je da vas pobijedi
Oduvijek sam znao da će doći dan kad me ubode u leđa
Jednog dana, tvoj novac ne bi otišao i bit ću sretan, to je činjenica
A onda ćete se vratiti na haubu i nasmijat ću se kad se vratiš
Ali ti moja crnja i ja te volim
I želim vidjeti kako pobijediš, ne bih nikoga stavio iznad tebe
A ti si mi uvijek bio prijatelj otkad smo stupili u lokve
Prave crnje se ne pretvaraju jer si moj brat, ti moj dvostruki
Ti moj majke blizance, i želim vas obavijestiti kako cijenim stvari koje mi pokazuješ
Nekako je teško vjerovati crnjama, zato te dobro držim
I gledaj, znam da vam ne kažem često, možda ni uopće ne
Ali tako sam ponosan na tebe i tvoj uspjeh, Broski "
