Description
Life sometimes resembles an endless riddle - just when you figure out one side, another one pops up. It's friends with their dramas, then love with strong personalities, then relatives with expectations and morals. Everything is moving, demanding attention, pulling at my sleeve. But amidst this chaos, a calm confidence suddenly breaks through: everything can be endured if there is a rhythm within, one's own truth, and a little bit of a sense of proportion. The world, of course, has its clowns and cycles, but as long as the soul hears live music, you won't be lost.
Lyrics and translation
Original
If it ain't one thing, it's another.
If it ain't my friends, it's my lover. If it ain't my ops, it's my brother.
If it ain't my pops, it's my mother. If it ain't one thing, it's another.
If it ain't my friends, it's my lover.
If it ain't my ops, it's my brother. If it ain't my pops. Yeah.
It's cringe till it sells. I like souls that dwell.
I like people who text because they know I can't bell. I like shopping in Gymporium, that vintage that smells.
I like music with intention, give a fuck about sales.
I like men who like themselves and don't project on the world. I like men who protect women, not just when they have girls.
I like teachers who teach and not teachers that tell.
I like leaders who got values and don't lead us to Hell.
I like fathers with time, the type to be receptive when the phone's on the line. The type you see in person, you don't search for online.
The type to call you up and say, "I'm grateful you're mine.
" The type to check you're good because you're still on his mind.
The type to work a shift but will still meet you at nine. The type to save the day because the vibe wasn't right.
The type to check you're good because he's seeing the signs, and he sees you're not fine.
If it ain't one thing, it's another.
If it ain't my friends, it's my lover.
If it ain't my ops, it's my brother.
If it ain't my pops, it's my mother. If it ain't one thing, it's another.
If it ain't my friends, it's my lover. If it ain't my ops, it's my brother.
If it -ain't my pops, it's my mother. -Yo.
If it ain't no one I love, they get the shoulder shrug.
I seen man do some things that made me know they got the coldest blood.
Sold his grub to his friend's mother, that's no Cody Cuz. Just an opportunistic opp tryna offload his drugs.
He should owe these slugs. Nah, they don't owe these cubs.
Monkey see then monkey do, the young G does what OG does.
It's just a cycle, Earth's a stage and it's recital.
Will you take the lead and thrive or live your whole life in survival? Knowing you could be anything.
I seen the rise and fall of many kings, but without failure, you won't see any wins. So don't watch their ups and downs.
It's bread and circuses, there's lots of clowns.
Keep it moving, cover lots of ground. I smoked a whole pound. That's how I discovered my sound.
If it ain't raw emotion, then I ain't hearing it. I need more devotion.
I see these NPCs coasting, but if it ain't real, then I don't feel no thing.
If it ain't one thing, it's another.
If it ain't my friends, it's my lover.
If it ain't my ops, it's my brother.
If it ain't my pops, it's my mother. If it ain't one thing, it's another.
If it ain't my friends, it's my lover. If it ain't my ops, it's my brother.
If it -ain't my pops, it's my mother. -Searching for the Lord who liveth forever.
Let all the earth keep silence
