Текст песни St. Tropez (J. Cole) с переводом

Listen, huh

Ay put your hands in the air one time, throw your hands in the air, one time,

one time, hey

Put your hands in the air two times, throw your hands in the air two times,

two times, two six

Put your hands in air three times, throw your hands in the air three times,

three times, hey

Put your hands in the air four times, throw your motherfuckin' hands up and sing

Roll up and smoke my sins away I’d like to go to St. Tropez Maybe I’ll go,

maybe I’ll stay Maybe I’ll stay

She asked me if I’m scared to fly To tell the truth, I’m terrified I never been

that high before Very bad reason not to go (I know) Terrible reason not to go

(I know)

Sing

He’s on his way, he’s 'bout to get paid He’s on his way to Hollywood He’s on

Way, he’s 'bout to get paid He’s on his way to Hollywood He’s on his way,

Ay from the door I showed you my scars And I told you girl, «I won’t lie»

If we at war, then this is a war that I can’t afford, no I, I, I I wanted more

But that was before Lord knows I’m torn, so I-I cry (No I, I, I)

From the corner of my eye, baby It’s been hard for me to smile Lately,

Been hard for me to smile

Fayetteville shit, listen

Ay put your hands in the air one time, throw your hands in the air one time,

Put your hands in the air two times, throw your motherfuckin' hands in the-air

If you won’t take me in your home If you won’t take me in your home If you

won’t take me in your home If you won’t take me in your home

He’s on his way, he’s 'bout to get paid He’s on his way to Hollywood He’s on

Way, he’s 'bout to get paid He’s on his way to Hollywood He’s on his way,

Y’all feeling alright man, make some motherfuckin' noise one time

This shit crazy, man y’all don’t even realize this shit is like

This shit is unreal man lemme- lemme talk to y’all for a second

I want to talk to y’all- because

It’s cool for me to come out here tonight

It’s just an honor to be able to fuckin' sell out the Crown and shit and come

back home and this shit is retarded in itself I appreciate y’all, thank you man

But it’s one thing for me to come out here tonight and just perform the whole

album for y’all, that’s already amazing, thank y’all for letting me do that

shit, you know what I mean that’s already crazy

Niggas don’t do that type of shit, perform they whole albums

But it’s one thing to just come and do the songs, that’s cool, I love doing

that I do that every day of my life

But, me personally, I like to use the shows as an opportunity that I don’t ever

really get like that

But I love to do it

And that’s the opportunity to come here and speak directly to y’all and have

y’all feel every word that I’m fuckin' saying to you that’s what I like to do

So right now, I want to talk to y’all about- this song right here that I just

did

The name of that song is called St. Tropez right, that’s the name of that song,

St. Tropez

But if I’m being honest with y’all

If I’m keeping it funky

If I’m being real

If I’m keeping it a hunnid

Or if I’m keeping it fo' hunnid how my nigga YG fo' hunnid be fuckin' saying

He love YG, look at him (laughs) aight'

If I’m being real, then the truth is

Nigga, I don’t even know where the fuck St. Tropez is at

I don’t know it’s at

I don’t give a fuck (laughs)

When I talk about St. Tropez in the song-

What I do know about St. Tropez is, it seems like the type of place that really

rich people go to when they got a lot of fuckin' money and they wanna vacation

and be on a yacht with champagne glasses and bikinis- it seem like that type of

place

But when I talk about it on this song it’s just a metaphor

What this song is about, and y’all gon' feel me, y’all gon' feel me cause I’m

home, and y’all gon' feel me

What this song is about, and a lot of people don’t understand this cause I be

doing shows in New York, Los Angeles, you know fuckin' Chicago, big ass cities

So they don’t feel me, they don’t know what it’s like to be somebody that’s

from a small town, a place like Fayetteville you know what I mean they don’t

know what it’s like

They can’t really relate to that shit, so what I’m trying to explain to them is

When I’m talking about St. Tropez on this song it’s just a metaphor

We grow up our whole- our whole lives watching TV, looking at the movies,

seeing places like what- like Paris, London England, St. Tropez, New York City,

Chicago, L.A. right?

And as a kid from Fayetteville what do we tell ourselves?

«Man one day I’ma go there, one day I’ma go there» right?

What ends up happening?

A lot of times because we come from a small town what happens?

We suffer from what we call a small-town mentality now what does that mean?

That means we grow up our whole lives seeing these places, and we tell

ourselves we gon' go

But as we grow up we get way too comfortable in our comfort zone, right?

And we too afraid to leave, right?

That’s why so many people- ain’t really stepping out the city like that,

they too afraid to go right?

So what I’m talking about on this song is tryna give y’all insight to the

mentality that I had to overcome

If you know anything about my story you know when I turned 18 I said «fuck this shit» I moved all the way to New York City I ain’t know nobody in

fucking New York- but I left

I left the Ville and I went to New York I took a leap of faith

Fast forward the rest is history

Right now- listen

I want to take a break from all this album shit

And I want to perform a song that only- only those people that’s been fucking

with me from day one is gon' fuck with

I don’t know how many people in here that been fucking with me
