When Thugz Cry

Jewell Peyton, Johnny Lee Jackson, Tupac Amaru Shakur

Lyrics Translation

When thugs cry
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my guns to keep
If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Got us dyin', when thugs cry, times is hard

Born thuggin' and lovin' the way I came up
Big money clutchin', bustin', while evadin' cocaine busts
My pulse rushin', send my cushin' into insanity
Shout at my cousin now we bustin' if they yo' family
The coppers want to see me buried, I ain't worried
I got a line on the D.A. 'cause I'm fuckin' his secretary
I black out and start cussin', bust 'em and touch 'em all
They panic and bitches duckin', I rush 'em and fuck 'em all
I'll probably be an old man before I understand
Why I had to live my life with pistols close at hand
Kidnapped my homie's sister, cut her face up bad
They even raped her, so we blazed they pad
Automatic shots rang out, on every block
They puttin' hits out on politicians, even cops, I ain't lyin'
They got me sleepin' with my infrared beams
And in my dreams I hear motherfuckers screamin'
What is the meaning, when thugs cry?

Oh why, should you send your child off to die
In the streets of chalk where they lie
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
Dear God (when thugs cry)
Oh why, does it have to be this way, our
Children of today won't stay wise (thugs cry)
Let the children hear when thugs cry
Dear God, oh why

Heh, maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin'
Where is the love? Never quit my ambition to thug
Ain't shed a tear since the old school years of elementary
Niggas I used to love, enclosed in penitentiaries
But still homie keep it real, how does it feel
To lose your life, over somethin' that you did as a kid?
You all alone, no communication, block on the phone
Don't get along with yo' pop, and plus your moms is gone
Where did we go wrong? I put my soul in the song
To help us grow at times, but now our minds are gone
We went from brothers and sisters, to niggas and bitches
We went from welfare livin', to worldwide riches
But somethin' changed in this dirty game, everything's strange
Lost all my homies over cocaine, man
See they ask me if I shed a tear, I ain't lie
See you gotta get high or die, 'cause even thugs cry

Oh why, should you send your child off to die?
In the streets of chalk where they lie
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
Dear God
Oh why, does it have to be this way, our
Children of today won't stay wise
Let the children hear when thugs cry
Dear God, oh why?

And all I see is these paranoid bitches, illegal adventures
Bustin' motherfuckers with uppercuts, I leave 'em with dentures
'Cause in my criminal mind, nobody violates the Don
I write your name on a piece of paper, now your family's gone
Why perpetrate like you can handle my team?
So merciless that my attack'll take command of your dreams
Leavin' motherfuckers drownin' in they own blood
Clownin' takin' pictures later
Laugh 'bout the punk bitches, that turned snitches
Regulate my area, the terror I represent
Make yo' people disappear, you wonderin' where they went?
Am I cold or is it just I sold my soul?
Addicted to these streets, never find true peace, I'm told
Come take my body God, don't let me suffer any longer
Smoke a pound of marijuana, so I know it ain't long
Where is the end to all my misery, is there a close?
I suppose that's why I murder my foes, when thugs cry

Oh why, should you send your child off to die
In the streets of chalk where they lie
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
Dear God (when thugs cry)
Oh why, does it have to be this way, our
Children of today won't stay wise (thugs cry)
Let the children hear when thugs cry
Dear God, oh why?

Oh why, should you send your child off to die
In the streets of chalk where they lie
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
Dear God
Oh why, does it have to be this way, our
Children of today won't stay wise
Let the children hear when thugs cry
Dear God, oh why?

When thugs cry
Quando bandidos choram
Now I lay me down to sleep
Agora eu me deito para dormir
I pray the Lord my guns to keep
Eu rezo ao Senhor para guardar minhas armas
If I die before I wake
Se eu morrer antes de acordar
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Eu rezo ao Senhor para levar minha alma
Got us dyin', when thugs cry, times is hard
Nos fazendo morrer, quando bandidos choram, os tempos são difíceis
Born thuggin' and lovin' the way I came up
Nascido bandido e amando o jeito que eu cresci
Big money clutchin', bustin', while evadin' cocaine busts
Grande dinheiro agarrando, atirando, enquanto evitando prisões por cocaína
My pulse rushin', send my cushin' into insanity
Minha pulsação acelerando, mando minha almofada para a insanidade
Shout at my cousin now we bustin' if they yo' family
Grito para meu primo agora estamos atirando se eles são sua família
The coppers want to see me buried, I ain't worried
Os policiais querem me ver enterrado, eu não estou preocupado
I got a line on the D.A. 'cause I'm fuckin' his secretary
Eu tenho uma linha no D.A. porque eu estou transando com sua secretária
I black out and start cussin', bust 'em and touch 'em all
Eu apago e começo a xingar, acerto eles e toco em todos
They panic and bitches duckin', I rush 'em and fuck 'em all
Eles entram em pânico e as vadias se escondem, eu corro atrás delas e fodo com todas
I'll probably be an old man before I understand
Provavelmente serei um velho antes de entender
Why I had to live my life with pistols close at hand
Por que eu tive que viver minha vida com pistolas à mão
Kidnapped my homie's sister, cut her face up bad
Sequestraram a irmã do meu mano, cortaram o rosto dela
They even raped her, so we blazed they pad
Eles até a estupraram, então incendiamos a casa deles
Automatic shots rang out, on every block
Tiros automáticos soaram, em cada quarteirão
They puttin' hits out on politicians, even cops, I ain't lyin'
Eles estão colocando contratos em políticos, até em policiais, eu não estou mentindo
They got me sleepin' with my infrared beams
Eles me fizeram dormir com meus feixes infravermelhos
And in my dreams I hear motherfuckers screamin'
E em meus sonhos eu ouço filhos da puta gritando
What is the meaning, when thugs cry?
Qual é o significado, quando bandidos choram?
Oh why, should you send your child off to die
Oh por que, você deveria enviar seu filho para morrer
In the streets of chalk where they lie
Nas ruas de giz onde eles mentem
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
Não deixe nenhuma injustiça chorar quando bandidos choram
Dear God (when thugs cry)
Querido Deus (quando bandidos choram)
Oh why, does it have to be this way, our
Oh por que, tem que ser assim, nossos
Children of today won't stay wise (thugs cry)
Crianças de hoje não permanecerão sábias (bandidos choram)
Let the children hear when thugs cry
Deixe as crianças ouvirem quando bandidos choram
Dear God, oh why
Querido Deus, oh por que
Heh, maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin'
Heh, talvez minha adição à fricção me deixe louco
Where is the love? Never quit my ambition to thug
Onde está o amor? Nunca desisti da minha ambição de ser bandido
Ain't shed a tear since the old school years of elementary
Não derramei uma lágrima desde os anos da velha escola do ensino fundamental
Niggas I used to love, enclosed in penitentiaries
Niggas que eu costumava amar, fechados em penitenciárias
But still homie keep it real, how does it feel
Mas ainda mano mantenha a real, como se sente
To lose your life, over somethin' that you did as a kid?
Perder sua vida, por algo que você fez quando era criança?
You all alone, no communication, block on the phone
Você está sozinho, sem comunicação, bloqueio no telefone
Don't get along with yo' pop, and plus your moms is gone
Não se dá bem com seu pai, e além disso sua mãe se foi
Where did we go wrong? I put my soul in the song
Onde nós erramos? Eu coloquei minha alma na música
To help us grow at times, but now our minds are gone
Para nos ajudar a crescer às vezes, mas agora nossas mentes se foram
We went from brothers and sisters, to niggas and bitches
Passamos de irmãos e irmãs, para niggas e vadias
We went from welfare livin', to worldwide riches
Passamos de viver de assistência social, para riquezas mundiais
But somethin' changed in this dirty game, everything's strange
Mas algo mudou neste jogo sujo, tudo é estranho
Lost all my homies over cocaine, man
Perdi todos os meus manos por causa da cocaína, mano
See they ask me if I shed a tear, I ain't lie
Veja, eles me perguntam se eu derramei uma lágrima, eu não menti
See you gotta get high or die, 'cause even thugs cry
Veja, você tem que ficar chapado ou morrer, porque até bandidos choram
Oh why, should you send your child off to die?
Oh por que, você deveria enviar seu filho para morrer?
In the streets of chalk where they lie
Nas ruas de giz onde eles mentem
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
Não deixe nenhuma injustiça chorar quando bandidos choram
Dear God
Querido Deus
Oh why, does it have to be this way, our
Oh por que, tem que ser assim, nossos
Children of today won't stay wise
Crianças de hoje não permanecerão sábias
Let the children hear when thugs cry
Deixe as crianças ouvirem quando bandidos choram
Dear God, oh why?
Querido Deus, oh por que?
And all I see is these paranoid bitches, illegal adventures
E tudo que eu vejo são essas vadias paranoicas, aventuras ilegais
Bustin' motherfuckers with uppercuts, I leave 'em with dentures
Esmurrando filhos da puta com socos, eu os deixo com dentaduras
'Cause in my criminal mind, nobody violates the Don
Porque na minha mente criminosa, ninguém viola o Don
I write your name on a piece of paper, now your family's gone
Eu escrevo seu nome em um pedaço de papel, agora sua família se foi
Why perpetrate like you can handle my team?
Por que perpetrar como se você pudesse lidar com minha equipe?
So merciless that my attack'll take command of your dreams
Tão impiedoso que meu ataque assumirá o comando de seus sonhos
Leavin' motherfuckers drownin' in they own blood
Deixando filhos da puta se afogando no próprio sangue
Clownin' takin' pictures later
Palhaço tirando fotos mais tarde
Laugh 'bout the punk bitches, that turned snitches
Rir sobre as vadias punk, que se tornaram informantes
Regulate my area, the terror I represent
Regulo minha área, o terror que eu represento
Make yo' people disappear, you wonderin' where they went?
Faço seu povo desaparecer, você se perguntando para onde eles foram?
Am I cold or is it just I sold my soul?
Eu sou frio ou é só que eu vendi minha alma?
Addicted to these streets, never find true peace, I'm told
Viciado nessas ruas, nunca encontre a verdadeira paz, me disseram
Come take my body God, don't let me suffer any longer
Venha pegar meu corpo Deus, não me deixe sofrer mais
Smoke a pound of marijuana, so I know it ain't long
Fume um quilo de maconha, então eu sei que não é longo
Where is the end to all my misery, is there a close?
Onde está o fim para toda a minha miséria, existe um fim?
I suppose that's why I murder my foes, when thugs cry
Eu suponho que é por isso que eu mato meus inimigos, quando bandidos choram
Oh why, should you send your child off to die
Oh por que, você deveria enviar seu filho para morrer
In the streets of chalk where they lie
Nas ruas de giz onde eles mentem
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
Não deixe nenhuma injustiça chorar quando bandidos choram
Dear God (when thugs cry)
Querido Deus (quando bandidos choram)

When thugs cry
Cuando los matones lloran
Now I lay me down to sleep
Ahora me acuesto a dormir
I pray the Lord my guns to keep
Rezo al Señor para que guarde mis armas
If I die before I wake
Si muero antes de despertar
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Rezo al Señor para que se lleve mi alma
Got us dyin', when thugs cry, times is hard
Nos tiene muriendo, cuando los matones lloran, los tiempos son duros
Born thuggin' and lovin' the way I came up
Nací siendo un matón y amando la forma en que crecí
Big money clutchin', bustin', while evadin' cocaine busts
Agarrando mucho dinero, disparando, mientras evado las redadas de cocaína
My pulse rushin', send my cushin' into insanity
Mi pulso se acelera, mando mi cojín a la locura
Shout at my cousin now we bustin' if they yo' family
Grito a mi primo ahora estamos disparando si son tu familia
The coppers want to see me buried, I ain't worried
Los policías quieren verme enterrado, no estoy preocupado
I got a line on the D.A. 'cause I'm fuckin' his secretary
Tengo una línea en el D.A. porque estoy jodiendo a su secretaria
I black out and start cussin', bust 'em and touch 'em all
Me desmayo y empiezo a maldecir, los golpeo y los toco a todos
They panic and bitches duckin', I rush 'em and fuck 'em all
Ellos entran en pánico y las perras se agachan, los ataco y los jodo a todos
I'll probably be an old man before I understand
Probablemente seré un viejo antes de entender
Why I had to live my life with pistols close at hand
Por qué tuve que vivir mi vida con pistolas a mano
Kidnapped my homie's sister, cut her face up bad
Secuestraron a la hermana de mi amigo, le cortaron la cara mal
They even raped her, so we blazed they pad
Incluso la violaron, así que incendiamos su casa
Automatic shots rang out, on every block
Disparos automáticos sonaron, en cada bloque
They puttin' hits out on politicians, even cops, I ain't lyin'
Están poniendo golpes en los políticos, incluso en los policías, no estoy mintiendo
They got me sleepin' with my infrared beams
Me tienen durmiendo con mis haces infrarrojos
And in my dreams I hear motherfuckers screamin'
Y en mis sueños escucho a los hijos de puta gritando
What is the meaning, when thugs cry?
¿Cuál es el significado, cuando los matones lloran?
Oh why, should you send your child off to die
Oh por qué, deberías enviar a tu hijo a morir
In the streets of chalk where they lie
En las calles de tiza donde yacen
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
Que no lloren los errores cuando los matones lloran
Dear God (when thugs cry)
Querido Dios (cuando los matones lloran)
Oh why, does it have to be this way, our
Oh por qué, tiene que ser así, nuestros
Children of today won't stay wise (thugs cry)
Los niños de hoy no se mantendrán sabios (los matones lloran)

Deja que los niños escuchen cuando los matones lloran
Dear God, oh why
Querido Dios, oh por qué
Heh, maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin'
Eh, quizás mi adicción a la fricción me tiene alucinando
Where is the love? Never quit my ambition to thug
¿Dónde está el amor? Nunca abandoné mi ambición de ser un matón
Ain't shed a tear since the old school years of elementary
No he derramado una lágrima desde los años de la vieja escuela de primaria
Niggas I used to love, enclosed in penitentiaries
Niggas que solía amar, encerrados en penitenciarías
But still homie keep it real, how does it feel
Pero aún así amigo manténlo real, ¿cómo se siente
To lose your life, over somethin' that you did as a kid?
Perder tu vida, por algo que hiciste de niño?
You all alone, no communication, block on the phone
Estás solo, sin comunicación, bloque en el teléfono
Don't get along with yo' pop, and plus your moms is gone
No te llevas bien con tu papá, y además tu mamá se ha ido
Where did we go wrong? I put my soul in the song
¿Dónde nos equivocamos? Puse mi alma en la canción
To help us grow at times, but now our minds are gone
Para ayudarnos a crecer a veces, pero ahora nuestras mentes se han ido
We went from brothers and sisters, to niggas and bitches
Pasamos de hermanos y hermanas, a niggas y perras
We went from welfare livin', to worldwide riches
Pasamos de vivir del bienestar, a riquezas mundiales
But somethin' changed in this dirty game, everything's strange
Pero algo cambió en este juego sucio, todo es extraño
Lost all my homies over cocaine, man
Perdí a todos mis amigos por la cocaína, hombre
See they ask me if I shed a tear, I ain't lie
Me preguntan si derramé una lágrima, no miento
See you gotta get high or die, 'cause even thugs cry
Tienes que drogarte o morir, porque incluso los matones lloran

Y todo lo que veo son estas perras paranoicas, aventuras ilegales
Bustin' motherfuckers with uppercuts, I leave 'em with dentures
Golpeando a hijos de puta con uppercuts, los dejo con dentaduras postizas
'Cause in my criminal mind, nobody violates the Don
Porque en mi mente criminal, nadie viola al Don
I write your name on a piece of paper, now your family's gone
Escribo tu nombre en un pedazo de papel, ahora tu familia se ha ido
Why perpetrate like you can handle my team?
¿Por qué perpetrar como si pudieras manejar a mi equipo?
So merciless that my attack'll take command of your dreams
Tan despiadado que mi ataque tomará el mando de tus sueños
Leavin' motherfuckers drownin' in they own blood
Dejando a los hijos de puta ahogándose en su propia sangre
Clownin' takin' pictures later
Haciendo el payaso tomando fotos más tarde
Laugh 'bout the punk bitches, that turned snitches
Ríe sobre las perras punk, que se volvieron soplones
Regulate my area, the terror I represent
Regulo mi área, el terror que represento

Am I cold or is it just I sold my soul?

Addicted to these streets, never find true peace, I'm told
Adicto a estas calles, nunca encontraré la verdadera paz, me han dicho
Come take my body God, don't let me suffer any longer
Ven a tomar mi cuerpo Dios, no me hagas sufrir más
Smoke a pound of marijuana, so I know it ain't long
Fumo una libra de marihuana, así que sé que no falta mucho
Where is the end to all my misery, is there a close?

I suppose that's why I murder my foes, when thugs cry
Supongo que por eso asesino a mis enemigos, cuando los matones lloran

Gros argent serré, tirant, tout en évitant les descentes de cocaïne
My pulse rushin', send my cushin' into insanity
Mon pouls s'accélère, envoie mon coussin dans la folie

J'ai une ligne sur le D.A. parce que je baise sa secrétaire
I black out and start cussin', bust 'em and touch 'em all
Je perds connaissance et commence à jurer, je les touche tous

Ils paniquent et les salopes se baissent, je les bouscule et les baise tous
I'll probably be an old man before I understand
Je serai probablement un vieil homme avant de comprendre
Why I had to live my life with pistols close at hand
Pourquoi j'ai dû vivre ma vie avec des pistolets à portée de main

J'écris ton nom sur un morceau de papier, maintenant ta famille est partie
Why perpetrate like you can handle my team?

So merciless that my attack'll take command of your dreams

In the streets of chalk where they lie
Dans les rues de craie où ils mentent
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
Ne laissez pas les torts crier quand les voyous pleurent
Dear God
Cher Dieu
Oh why, does it have to be this way, our
Oh pourquoi, doit-il en être ainsi, nos
Children of today won't stay wise
Enfants d'aujourd'hui ne resteront pas sages
Let the children hear when thugs cry
Laissez les enfants entendre quand les voyous pleurent
Dear God, oh why?
Cher Dieu, oh pourquoi?
When thugs cry
Wenn Schläger weinen
Now I lay me down to sleep
Jetzt lege ich mich schlafen
I pray the Lord my guns to keep
Ich bete den Herrn, meine Waffen zu behalten
If I die before I wake
Wenn ich sterbe, bevor ich aufwache
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Ich bete den Herrn, meine Seele zu nehmen
Got us dyin', when thugs cry, times is hard
Wir sterben, wenn Schläger weinen, die Zeiten sind hart
Born thuggin' and lovin' the way I came up
Geboren als Schläger und liebe den Weg, wie ich aufgewachsen bin
Big money clutchin', bustin', while evadin' cocaine busts
Großes Geld klammernd, schießend, während ich Kokain-Busts vermeide
My pulse rushin', send my cushin' into insanity
Mein Puls rast, schickt meine Polsterung in den Wahnsinn
Shout at my cousin now we bustin' if they yo' family
Schreie meinen Cousin an, jetzt schießen wir, wenn sie deine Familie sind
The coppers want to see me buried, I ain't worried
Die Bullen wollen mich begraben sehen, ich mache mir keine Sorgen
I got a line on the D.A. 'cause I'm fuckin' his secretary
Ich habe eine Leitung auf den D.A., weil ich seine Sekretärin ficke
I black out and start cussin', bust 'em and touch 'em all
Ich werde schwarz und fange an zu fluchen, berühre sie alle
They panic and bitches duckin', I rush 'em and fuck 'em all
Sie geraten in Panik und Schlampen tauchen unter, ich stürze mich auf sie und ficke sie alle
I'll probably be an old man before I understand
Ich werde wahrscheinlich ein alter Mann sein, bevor ich verstehe
Why I had to live my life with pistols close at hand
Warum ich mein Leben mit Pistolen in der Hand leben musste
Kidnapped my homie's sister, cut her face up bad
Entführte die Schwester meines Homies, schnitt ihr Gesicht übel zu
They even raped her, so we blazed they pad
Sie haben sie sogar vergewaltigt, also haben wir ihre Wohnung abgefackelt
Automatic shots rang out, on every block
Automatische Schüsse hallten auf jedem Block wider
They puttin' hits out on politicians, even cops, I ain't lyin'
Sie setzen Hits auf Politiker, sogar Cops, ich lüge nicht
They got me sleepin' with my infrared beams
Sie haben mich mit meinen Infrarotstrahlen schlafen lassen
And in my dreams I hear motherfuckers screamin'
Und in meinen Träumen höre ich Motherfucker schreien
What is the meaning, when thugs cry?
Was ist die Bedeutung, wenn Schläger weinen?
Oh why, should you send your child off to die
Oh warum, solltest du dein Kind in den Tod schicken
In the streets of chalk where they lie
In den Straßen aus Kreide, wo sie liegen
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
Lass keine Unrechte schreien, wenn Schläger weinen
Dear God (when thugs cry)
Lieber Gott (wenn Schläger weinen)

Dear God, oh why
Lieber Gott, oh warum
Heh, maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin'
Heh, vielleicht hat meine Sucht nach Reibung mich verrückt gemacht
Where is the love? Never quit my ambition to thug
Wo ist die Liebe? Habe nie meinen Ehrgeiz aufgegeben, ein Schläger zu sein
Ain't shed a tear since the old school years of elementary
Habe seit den alten Schuljahren der Grundschule keine Träne vergossen
Niggas I used to love, enclosed in penitentiaries
Niggas, die ich liebte, eingesperrt in Gefängnissen
But still homie keep it real, how does it feel
Aber immer noch Homie, bleib real, wie fühlt es sich an
To lose your life, over somethin' that you did as a kid?
Dein Leben zu verlieren, über etwas, das du als Kind getan hast?
You all alone, no communication, block on the phone
Du bist ganz allein, keine Kommunikation, Block am Telefon
Don't get along with yo' pop, and plus your moms is gone
Kommst nicht mit deinem Vater klar, und außerdem ist deine Mutter weg
Where did we go wrong? I put my soul in the song
Wo haben wir uns geirrt? Ich habe meine Seele in das Lied gesteckt
To help us grow at times, but now our minds are gone
Um uns zu helfen zu wachsen, aber jetzt sind unsere Köpfe weg
We went from brothers and sisters, to niggas and bitches
Wir gingen von Brüdern und Schwestern zu Niggas und Schlampen
We went from welfare livin', to worldwide riches
Wir gingen von Sozialhilfeleben zu weltweitem Reichtum
But somethin' changed in this dirty game, everything's strange
Aber etwas hat sich in diesem schmutzigen Spiel geändert, alles ist seltsam
Lost all my homies over cocaine, man
Verlor all meine Homies über Kokain, Mann
See they ask me if I shed a tear, I ain't lie
Sie fragen mich, ob ich eine Träne vergossen habe, ich habe nicht gelogen
See you gotta get high or die, 'cause even thugs cry
Du musst high werden oder sterben, denn auch Schläger weinen
Oh why, should you send your child off to die?
Oh warum, solltest du dein Kind in den Tod schicken?
In the streets of chalk where they lie
In den Straßen aus Kreide, wo sie liegen
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
Lass keine Unrechte schreien, wenn Schläger weinen

And all I see is these paranoid bitches, illegal adventures
Und alles, was ich sehe, sind diese paranoiden Schlampen, illegale Abenteuer
Bustin' motherfuckers with uppercuts, I leave 'em with dentures
Schlage Motherfucker mit Uppercuts, ich lasse sie mit Prothesen zurück
'Cause in my criminal mind, nobody violates the Don
Denn in meinem kriminellen Verstand verletzt niemand den Don
I write your name on a piece of paper, now your family's gone
Ich schreibe deinen Namen auf ein Stück Papier, jetzt ist deine Familie weg
Why perpetrate like you can handle my team?
Warum so tun, als könntest du mein Team handhaben?
So merciless that my attack'll take command of your dreams
So gnadenlos, dass mein Angriff die Kontrolle über deine Träume übernimmt
Leavin' motherfuckers drownin' in they own blood
Lasse Motherfucker in ihrem eigenen Blut ertrinken
Clownin' takin' pictures later
Clownin' nimmt später Bilder auf
Laugh 'bout the punk bitches, that turned snitches
Lache über die Punk-Schlampen, die zu Snitches wurden
Regulate my area, the terror I represent
Reguliere mein Gebiet, den Terror, den ich repräsentiere
Make yo' people disappear, you wonderin' where they went?
Lasse deine Leute verschwinden, du fragst dich, wo sie hingegangen sind?
Am I cold or is it just I sold my soul?
Bin ich kalt oder habe ich einfach meine Seele verkauft?
Addicted to these streets, never find true peace, I'm told
Süchtig nach diesen Straßen, finde nie wahren Frieden, so sagt man mir
Come take my body God, don't let me suffer any longer
Komm, nimm meinen Körper, Gott, lass mich nicht länger leiden
Smoke a pound of marijuana, so I know it ain't long
Rauche ein Pfund Marihuana, also weiß ich, es ist nicht lange
Where is the end to all my misery, is there a close?
Wo ist das Ende all meines Elends, gibt es ein Ende?
I suppose that's why I murder my foes, when thugs cry
Ich nehme an, deshalb ermorde ich meine Feinde, wenn Schläger weinen

When thugs cry
Quando i teppisti piangono
Now I lay me down to sleep
Ora mi corico per dormire
I pray the Lord my guns to keep
Prego il Signore di custodire le mie pistole
If I die before I wake
Se morirò prima di svegliarmi
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Prego il Signore di prendere la mia anima
Got us dyin', when thugs cry, times is hard
Ci stanno facendo morire, quando i teppisti piangono, i tempi sono duri
Born thuggin' and lovin' the way I came up
Nato teppista e amando il modo in cui sono cresciuto
Big money clutchin', bustin', while evadin' cocaine busts
Grande denaro stretto, sparando, mentre evito arresti per cocaina
My pulse rushin', send my cushin' into insanity
Il mio polso corre, manda il mio cuscino nella follia
Shout at my cousin now we bustin' if they yo' family
Urlo a mio cugino ora stiamo sparando se sono la tua famiglia
The coppers want to see me buried, I ain't worried
I poliziotti vogliono vedermi sepolto, non sono preoccupato
I got a line on the D.A. 'cause I'm fuckin' his secretary
Ho un contatto con il D.A. perché sto scopando la sua segretaria
I black out and start cussin', bust 'em and touch 'em all
Sbatto e inizio a imprecare, li colpisco e li tocco tutti
They panic and bitches duckin', I rush 'em and fuck 'em all
Si agitano e le puttane si abbassano, li attacco e li scopo tutti
I'll probably be an old man before I understand
Probabilmente sarò un vecchio prima di capire
Why I had to live my life with pistols close at hand
Perché ho dovuto vivere la mia vita con le pistole a portata di mano
Kidnapped my homie's sister, cut her face up bad
Ho rapito la sorella del mio amico, le ho tagliato la faccia
They even raped her, so we blazed they pad

Automatic shots rang out, on every block
Colpi automatici risuonano, su ogni isolato
They puttin' hits out on politicians, even cops, I ain't lyin'
Stanno mettendo contratti su politici, persino poliziotti, non sto mentendo
They got me sleepin' with my infrared beams
Mi hanno fatto dormire con i miei raggi infrarossi

E nei miei sogni sento urlare i figli di puttana
What is the meaning, when thugs cry?
Qual è il significato, quando i teppisti piangono?
Oh why, should you send your child off to die
Oh perché, dovresti mandare tuo figlio a morire

Dov'è l'amore? Non ho mai smesso la mia ambizione di essere un teppista
Ain't shed a tear since the old school years of elementary
Non ho versato una lacrima dai vecchi anni della scuola elementare
Niggas I used to love, enclosed in penitentiaries
Neri che amavo, rinchiusi nelle prigioni
But still homie keep it real, how does it feel
Ma ancora amico mantieni la realtà, come ti senti
To lose your life, over somethin' that you did as a kid?
Per perdere la vita, per qualcosa che hai fatto da bambino?
You all alone, no communication, block on the phone

Don't get along with yo' pop, and plus your moms is gone
Non vai d'accordo con tuo padre, e in più tua madre è andata
Where did we go wrong? I put my soul in the song
Dove abbiamo sbagliato? Ho messo la mia anima nella canzone
To help us grow at times, but now our minds are gone
Per aiutarci a crescere a volte, ma ora le nostre menti sono andate
We went from brothers and sisters, to niggas and bitches
Siamo passati da fratelli e sorelle, a negri e puttane
We went from welfare livin', to worldwide riches
Siamo passati da vivere di assistenza sociale, a ricchezze mondiali
But somethin' changed in this dirty game, everything's strange
Ma qualcosa è cambiato in questo sporco gioco, tutto è strano
Lost all my homies over cocaine, man
Ho perso tutti i miei amici a causa della cocaina, uomo
See they ask me if I shed a tear, I ain't lie
Vedono mi chiedono se ho versato una lacrima, non ho mentito
See you gotta get high or die, 'cause even thugs cry
Vedi devi drogarti o morire, perché anche i teppisti piangono
Oh why, should you send your child off to die?

Sono freddo o è solo che ho venduto la mia anima?

Dipendente da queste strade, non troverò mai la vera pace, mi hanno detto
