How I Met My Ex

David Orobosa Omoregie

Like
I met my girl when I was 18 years old
And she was just turning 23
I really love her from my heart
And even though I don't deserve it fam I hope she loves me
So I just done this private show I'm doing Footlocker promo
And judging from the postcode it was Shoreditch or Soho
Did 6 or 7 tracks, made 6 or 7 racks
A couple days later on twitter I saw this photo of myself and I was grinning
That 4K camera of quality had got me tripping
So I'm checking out who did it
When I stumbled on this girl
And I could tell that she was different
A couple hours later now I'm liking all her pictures
I ain't finished
I typed her twitter name into my Insta so I could check on every single little digit
Why didn't I just message her?
Trust me I was thinking, but I'm a self-centred rapper too concerned about my image
The truth
So when she hit me first I'm pretty shocked I didn't burst
I'm calling Josh, Jack and Juss who am I ringing first?
Man I was so excited
That I replied a minute later that's that bro I think that you just let her know excited
Too excited, no clue on what I should do excited
So I'm just typing, rambling like a fool, excited

Look
Look
And we were talking for hours over some minor things
Ignoring everyone else to her I'm replying quick
This type of chick she got a spark like you were lighting spliffs
You know you like her when you're thinking about your words
She got me typing, deleting my messages then re-writing
In the hope that there's a smile when she's replying
The highlight of my day, them phone calls in the night, it's the little things
The girl, she had a vibe and I liked it and
She's into photography and she's got a passion for it
And she respects that I'm rapping but she ain't catting for it
See that's the perfect balance
There's nothing better than a girl with talent
Drive, ambition, all of them things above
She's showing an abundance
I ain't even met her yet
She works around the corner but lives just outside of London
I ain't fronting, I'm a sweet boy
Intentions are in question so my compliments are decoys
If that even makes sense?
The first time I met her, I'm surrounded by my friends
Random ends on some staircase
So much for a first date
I just had a show
And I asked if she could meet me after
Maybe we could chill, you never know where things could go
No problem she down to roll
Travelled in the cold
So I went across the road, grey hoodie under a coat
If I'm remembering correctly
It's always kind of weird when the person that you were texting
Is the person you are obsessed with
I was on her from the jump
I think she was wearing pumps or Vans when I first met her, no, it's either either one
She was looking so attractive I barely saw skin 'cause she was covered like a mattress
Man, I think that she's the one
I was stuck for twenty seconds tryna to give the girl a hug
And all my friends are drunk so fuck it, I'm about to kiss her
Any complications, I'm blaming it on the liquor
Changing my name on Twitter and blocking her on my Insta
I saw her skin blush the moment that our lips touched
She pulled my bottom lip until it stretched
Kissed me on my cheek until she reached around my neck
And had me moaning like a bitch
Even though I'm wearing jeans, I had to re-arrange my dick so she don't see that I'm erect
It's the first time we met, got me feeling like a creep
And that strawberry flavour gave her tongue a kinda sweet little taste
And we could speak about anything we were friends first
I dropped her to the station I remember
'Cause we had a conversation for ages about our dreams
And the things that we hadn't seen and all that we intended to do
I bet she's hoping my intentions are true
And as months went by we both got into it, and intimate
And I'ma spare you the details 'cause both of our parents are probably listening
But really we were into it
Into us, into this
Into everything about each other we were lovers and I love her
'Cause she knows me and that's probably why she told me you ain't ready for a girl
You're still a little kid that's getting ready for the world and you don't need that kinda burden
But I told her that I want it
And I'm just being honest, yes I know that girls exist but I don't see them as a problem
I meant every single word
And I ain't gonna lie and say DM's have been absurd but out of every single girl
This is the weirdest of positions
It's usually the girl that's asking where I see her fitting or a place on her position
But I'm telling her I need it
And I don't think she sees it, so I'm being even sweeter when we're speaking and we're meeting
I've got affectionate messages, you could read them
You gotta tell a girl that she's beautiful 'til she sees it
Believes it, understands it more than physically
Mentally, and the way that I'm feeling
I could talk 10 years about the moment that we shared
The jokes that we had running
The places that we've been
The music we made together producing next to my bed
Then making my minor changes in reference to what she said
I think I start to getting tired, my schedule's a mess
Replies are gettin' lazy and my lady knows it's crazy
But she's there if I'm in need
While I'm at shows getting tempted by girls that are on their knees
You know I'm only a teen, it's like my eyes started drifting
Not as easy as I pictured to give your all to a woman
Ignoring all this attention that's been getting to my head
The sex is so accessible, one message or text and girls will get in your bed
She's tryna make it happen with photos and her events
I mentioned it's her passion, photography is her thing
And I don't know if it's the pressure
Where paper meets the passion and the pleasure
We all gotta work to survive
So now she's popping up at shows
Taking pictures on her own
And at first it wasn't cool
But fuck it we let it go
Until I saw her in some rapper's tracksuit, I felt a way
She told me it was work and she was in some studio
Taking pictures and I just sighed
Some halfway wannabe rappers that fed her lies
They ain't looking for no picture
I know it's your profession
But read their intentions
They ain't paying male photographers to shoot that same session
And that felt so disrespectful, standing on our dreams
And crushing 'em, I just told her it's nothing do what you need to do
If I ain't feeding you
Then my opinion's all I'm giving when I speak to you
'Cause I don't have the right
Why should girls be punished for a male's dirty mind?
When I think about it now, I'm ashamed to the core
I mean how many men stop their women from
Achieving what they can because in secret they've been feeling insecure
And I can't handle my emotions, it's probably why I didn't see her
Talent when I shoulda been supporting and promoting
Like I didn't have a platform, a voice and a following
With everyone I knew, I really coulda do a lot of things to help chase her dream
But instead of me to grow into the person that she needs
I acted like I couldn't see
And I don't mean to say this like I don't trust the girl
But how can I trust her if I don't trust myself?
And even girls can get tempted you know how it goes
What if she meets a bigger rapper when she's at a show?
What if he sees her backstage?
What if he selling lots?
What if he's got a bigger car, got a better watch?
That doesn't bother me, she really ain't material
It's all the little things they do that put the fear in you
What if he actually replies?
What if he phones her too?
What if he's doing all the things that I'm supposed to do?
What if he's listening, laughing, relating?
What if he even cares to ask her how her day's been?
What if he's trying to give her everything she needs
And expects from the one damn person that she's dating?
I shoulda helped her follow her dream
But instead I held her back and had her following me
And boys got a brave face so they'll never know
That it hurts just as much when you let them go

Gosto

I met my girl when I was 18 years old

Conheci minha garota quando eu tinha 18 anos

And she was just turning 23

E ela estava prestes a fazer 23

I really love her from my heart

Eu realmente a amo de todo o meu coração

And even though I don't deserve it fam I hope she loves me

E mesmo que eu não mereça, família, eu espero que ela me ame

So I just done this private show I'm doing Footlocker promo

Então eu acabei de fazer esse show privado, estou fazendo promoção da Footlocker

And judging from the postcode it was Shoreditch or Soho

E a julgar pelo código postal, era Shoreditch ou Soho

Did 6 or 7 tracks, made 6 or 7 racks

Fiz 6 ou 7 faixas, ganhei 6 ou 7 racks

A couple days later on twitter I saw this photo of myself and I was grinning

Alguns dias depois no twitter, vi essa foto de mim mesmo e estava sorrindo

That 4K camera of quality had got me tripping

Essa câmera de 4K de qualidade me deixou tropeçando

So I'm checking out who did it

Então estou verificando quem fez isso

When I stumbled on this girl

Quando me deparei com essa garota

And I could tell that she was different

E eu podia dizer que ela era diferente

A couple hours later now I'm liking all her pictures

Algumas horas depois, agora estou curtindo todas as suas fotos

I ain't finished

Eu não terminei

I typed her twitter name into my Insta so I could check on every single little digit

Digitei o nome dela no twitter no meu Insta para poder verificar cada dígito

Why didn't I just message her?

Por que eu não simplesmente mandei uma mensagem para ela?

Trust me I was thinking, but I'm a self-centred rapper too concerned about my image

Confie em mim, eu estava pensando, mas sou um rapper egocêntrico demais preocupado com minha imagem

The truth

A verdade

So when she hit me first I'm pretty shocked I didn't burst

Então quando ela me mandou a primeira mensagem, fiquei bastante chocado por não ter explodido

I'm calling Josh, Jack and Juss who am I ringing first?

Estou ligando para Josh, Jack e Juss, para quem estou ligando primeiro?

Man I was so excited

Cara, eu estava tão animado

That I replied a minute later that's that bro I think that you just let her know excited

Que respondi um minuto depois, é isso aí, cara, acho que você acabou de deixá-la saber animado

Too excited, no clue on what I should do excited

Muito animado, sem ideia do que eu deveria fazer animado

So I'm just typing, rambling like a fool, excited

Então estou apenas digitando, divagando como um tolo, animado

Look

Olha

Look

Olha

And we were talking for hours over some minor things

E nós estávamos conversando por horas sobre algumas coisas menores

Ignoring everyone else to her I'm replying quick

Ignorando todos os outros para ela, estou respondendo rápido

This type of chick she got a spark like you were lighting spliffs

Esse tipo de garota, ela tem uma faísca como se você estivesse acendendo baseados

You know you like her when you're thinking about your words

Você sabe que gosta dela quando está pensando nas suas palavras

She got me typing, deleting my messages then re-writing

Ela me fez digitar, apagar minhas mensagens e depois reescrever

In the hope that there's a smile when she's replying

Na esperança de que haja um sorriso quando ela está respondendo

The highlight of my day, them phone calls in the night, it's the little things

O destaque do meu dia, aquelas ligações telefônicas à noite, são as pequenas coisas

The girl, she had a vibe and I liked it and

A garota, ela tinha uma vibe e eu gostei e

She's into photography and she's got a passion for it

Ela gosta de fotografia e tem paixão por isso

And she respects that I'm rapping but she ain't catting for it

E ela respeita que eu estou fazendo rap, mas ela não está desesperada por isso

See that's the perfect balance

Veja, esse é o equilíbrio perfeito

There's nothing better than a girl with talent

Não há nada melhor do que uma garota com talento

Drive, ambition, all of them things above

Impulso, ambição, todas essas coisas acima

She's showing an abundance

Ela está mostrando uma abundância

I ain't even met her yet

Eu nem mesmo a conheci ainda

She works around the corner but lives just outside of London

Ela trabalha ao virar da esquina, mas mora um pouco fora de Londres

I ain't fronting, I'm a sweet boy

Eu não estou fingindo, sou um doce garoto

Intentions are in question so my compliments are decoys

As intenções estão em questão, então meus elogios são iscas

If that even makes sense?

Se isso faz algum sentido?

The first time I met her, I'm surrounded by my friends

A primeira vez que a conheci, estava cercado por meus amigos

Random ends on some staircase

Fins aleatórios em alguma escada

So much for a first date

Tanto para um primeiro encontro

I just had a show

Eu acabara de fazer um show

And I asked if she could meet me after

E perguntei se ela poderia me encontrar depois

Maybe we could chill, you never know where things could go

Talvez pudéssemos relaxar, nunca se sabe para onde as coisas podem ir

No problem she down to roll

Sem problemas, ela está disposta a rolar

Travelled in the cold

Viajou no frio

So I went across the road, grey hoodie under a coat

Então eu atravessei a rua, moletom cinza sob um casaco

If I'm remembering correctly

Se estou lembrando corretamente

It's always kind of weird when the person that you were texting

É sempre meio estranho quando a pessoa com quem você estava trocando mensagens

Is the person you are obsessed with

É a pessoa por quem você está obcecado

I was on her from the jump

Eu estava nela desde o início

I think she was wearing pumps or Vans when I first met her, no, it's either either one

Acho que ela estava usando saltos ou Vans quando a conheci pela primeira vez, não, é um ou outro

She was looking so attractive I barely saw skin 'cause she was covered like a mattress

Ela estava tão atraente que mal vi a pele dela porque ela estava coberta como um colchão

Man, I think that she's the one

Cara, acho que ela é a única

I was stuck for twenty seconds tryna to give the girl a hug

Fiquei parado por vinte segundos tentando dar um abraço na garota

And all my friends are drunk so fuck it, I'm about to kiss her

E todos os meus amigos estão bêbados, então dane-se, estou prestes a beijá-la

Any complications, I'm blaming it on the liquor

Qualquer complicação, vou culpar a bebida

Changing my name on Twitter and blocking her on my Insta

Mudando meu nome no Twitter e bloqueando ela no meu Insta

I saw her skin blush the moment that our lips touched

Vi a pele dela corar no momento em que nossos lábios se tocaram

She pulled my bottom lip until it stretched

Ela puxou meu lábio inferior até esticar

Kissed me on my cheek until she reached around my neck

Beijou-me na bochecha até alcançar meu pescoço

And had me moaning like a bitch

E me fez gemer como uma cadela

Even though I'm wearing jeans, I had to re-arrange my dick so she don't see that I'm erect

Mesmo usando jeans, tive que reajustar meu pau para que ela não visse que eu estava excitado

It's the first time we met, got me feeling like a creep

É a primeira vez que nos encontramos, me sinto como um tarado

And that strawberry flavour gave her tongue a kinda sweet little taste

E aquele sabor de morango deu à língua dela um gostinho doce

And we could speak about anything we were friends first

E podíamos falar sobre qualquer coisa, éramos amigos primeiro

I dropped her to the station I remember

Deixei-a na estação, eu me lembro

'Cause we had a conversation for ages about our dreams

Porque tivemos uma conversa por horas sobre nossos sonhos

And the things that we hadn't seen and all that we intended to do

E as coisas que não tínhamos visto e tudo que pretendíamos fazer

I bet she's hoping my intentions are true

Aposto que ela está esperando que minhas intenções sejam verdadeiras

And as months went by we both got into it, and intimate

E conforme os meses passavam, ambos nos envolvíamos, e nos tornávamos íntimos

And I'ma spare you the details 'cause both of our parents are probably listening

E vou poupar você dos detalhes porque provavelmente nossos pais estão ouvindo

But really we were into it

Mas realmente estávamos nisso

Into us, into this

Nós, nisso

Into everything about each other we were lovers and I love her

Em tudo sobre um ao outro, éramos amantes e eu a amo

'Cause she knows me and that's probably why she told me you ain't ready for a girl

Porque ela me conhece e provavelmente é por isso que ela me disse que eu não estou pronto para uma garota

You're still a little kid that's getting ready for the world and you don't need that kinda burden

Você ainda é um garotinho se preparando para o mundo e você não precisa desse tipo de fardo

But I told her that I want it

Mas eu disse a ela que eu quero

And I'm just being honest, yes I know that girls exist but I don't see them as a problem

E estou sendo honesto, sim, eu sei que existem garotas, mas não as vejo como um problema

I meant every single word

Eu disse cada palavra

And I ain't gonna lie and say DM's have been absurd but out of every single girl

E não vou mentir e dizer que as DMs foram absurdas, mas de todas as garotas

This is the weirdest of positions

Esta é a posição mais estranha

It's usually the girl that's asking where I see her fitting or a place on her position

Geralmente é a garota que pergunta onde eu a vejo se encaixando ou um lugar na sua posição

But I'm telling her I need it

Mas estou dizendo a ela que preciso

And I don't think she sees it, so I'm being even sweeter when we're speaking and we're meeting

E não acho que ela vê isso, então estou sendo ainda mais doce quando estamos conversando e nos encontrando

I've got affectionate messages, you could read them

Tenho mensagens afetuosas, você poderia lê-las

You gotta tell a girl that she's beautiful 'til she sees it

Você tem que dizer a uma garota que ela é linda até que ela veja

Believes it, understands it more than physically

Acredite, entenda mais do que fisicamente

Mentally, and the way that I'm feeling

Mentalmente, e a maneira que estou sentindo

I could talk 10 years about the moment that we shared

Posso falar 10 anos sobre o momento que compartilhamos

The jokes that we had running

As piadas que tínhamos correndo

The places that we've been

Os lugares que estivemos

The music we made together producing next to my bed

A música que fizemos juntos produzindo ao lado da minha cama

Then making my minor changes in reference to what she said

Então fazendo pequenas mudanças em referência ao que ela disse

I think I start to getting tired, my schedule's a mess

Acho que começo a ficar cansado, minha agenda está uma bagunça

Replies are gettin' lazy and my lady knows it's crazy

As respostas estão ficando preguiçosas e minha dama sabe que é loucura

But she's there if I'm in need

Mas ela está lá se eu precisar

While I'm at shows getting tempted by girls that are on their knees

Enquanto estou em shows sendo tentado por garotas que estão de joelhos.

You know I'm only a teen, it's like my eyes started drifting

Você sabe que eu sou apenas um adolescente, é como se meus olhos começassem a divagar

Not as easy as I pictured to give your all to a woman

Não é tão fácil quanto eu imaginava dar tudo de si para uma mulher

Ignoring all this attention that's been getting to my head

Ignorando toda essa atenção que tem subido à minha cabeça

The sex is so accessible, one message or text and girls will get in your bed

O sexo é tão acessível, uma mensagem ou texto e as garotas vão para a sua cama

She's tryna make it happen with photos and her events

Ela está tentando fazer acontecer com fotos e seus eventos

I mentioned it's her passion, photography is her thing

Eu mencionei que é a paixão dela, a fotografia é a coisa dela

And I don't know if it's the pressure

E eu não sei se é a pressão

Where paper meets the passion and the pleasure

Onde o papel encontra a paixão e o prazer

We all gotta work to survive

Todos nós temos que trabalhar para sobreviver

So now she's popping up at shows

Então agora ela está aparecendo nos shows

Taking pictures on her own

Tirando fotos por conta própria

And at first it wasn't cool

E no começo não era legal

But fuck it we let it go

Mas dane-se, nós deixamos pra lá

Until I saw her in some rapper's tracksuit, I felt a way

Até que eu a vi no agasalho de algum rapper, eu me senti de um jeito

She told me it was work and she was in some studio

Ela me disse que era trabalho e que ela estava em algum estúdio

Taking pictures and I just sighed

Tirando fotos e eu apenas suspirei

Some halfway wannabe rappers that fed her lies

Alguns rappers wannabe que a alimentaram com mentiras

They ain't looking for no picture

Eles não estão procurando por nenhuma foto

I know it's your profession

Eu sei que é a sua profissão

But read their intentions

Mas leia suas intenções

They ain't paying male photographers to shoot that same session

Eles não estão pagando fotógrafos masculinos para fazer a mesma sessão

And that felt so disrespectful, standing on our dreams

E isso pareceu tão desrespeitoso, pisando em nossos sonhos

And crushing 'em, I just told her it's nothing do what you need to do

E destruindo-os, eu apenas disse a ela que não era nada, faça o que você precisa fazer

If I ain't feeding you

Se eu não estou te alimentando

Then my opinion's all I'm giving when I speak to you

Então minha opinião é tudo que eu estou dando quando falo com você

'Cause I don't have the right

Porque eu não tenho o direito

Why should girls be punished for a male's dirty mind?

Por que as meninas devem ser punidas pela mente suja de um homem?

When I think about it now, I'm ashamed to the core

Quando penso nisso agora, sinto vergonha até o âmago

I mean how many men stop their women from

Quer dizer, quantos homens impedem suas mulheres de

Achieving what they can because in secret they've been feeling insecure

Alcançar o que podem porque em segredo eles têm se sentido inseguros

And I can't handle my emotions, it's probably why I didn't see her

E eu não consigo lidar com minhas emoções, é provavelmente por isso que eu não vi o

Talent when I shoulda been supporting and promoting

Talento dela quando eu deveria ter apoiado e promovido

Like I didn't have a platform, a voice and a following

Como se eu não tivesse uma plataforma, uma voz e um público

With everyone I knew, I really coulda do a lot of things to help chase her dream

Com todos que eu conheço, eu realmente poderia ter feito muitas coisas para ajudar a perseguir o sonho dela

But instead of me to grow into the person that she needs

Mas em vez de eu me tornar a pessoa que ela precisa

I acted like I couldn't see

Eu agi como se não pudesse ver

And I don't mean to say this like I don't trust the girl

E eu não quero dizer isso como se não confiasse na garota

But how can I trust her if I don't trust myself?

Mas como posso confiar nela se não confio em mim mesmo?

And even girls can get tempted you know how it goes

E até as meninas podem ser tentadas, você sabe como é

What if she meets a bigger rapper when she's at a show?

E se ela conhecer um rapper maior quando estiver em um show?

What if he sees her backstage?

E se ele a ver nos bastidores?

What if he selling lots?

E se ele estiver vendendo muito?

What if he's got a bigger car, got a better watch?

E se ele tiver um carro maior, um relógio melhor?

That doesn't bother me, she really ain't material

Isso não me incomoda, ela realmente não é materialista

It's all the little things they do that put the fear in you

São todas as pequenas coisas que eles fazem que colocam o medo em você

What if he actually replies?

E se ele realmente responder?

What if he phones her too?

E se ele ligar para ela também?

What if he's doing all the things that I'm supposed to do?

E se ele estiver fazendo todas as coisas que eu deveria fazer?

What if he's listening, laughing, relating?

E se ele estiver ouvindo, rindo, se identificando?

What if he even cares to ask her how her day's been?

E se ele até se importar em perguntar como foi o dia dela?

What if he's trying to give her everything she needs

E se ele estiver tentando dar a ela tudo o que ela precisa

And expects from the one damn person that she's dating?

E espera da única pessoa maldita com quem ela está namorando?

I shoulda helped her follow her dream

Eu deveria ter ajudado ela a seguir o sonho dela

But instead I held her back and had her following me

Mas em vez disso, eu a segurei e a fiz me seguir

And boys got a brave face so they'll never know

E os meninos têm uma cara corajosa, então eles nunca saberão

That it hurts just as much when you let them go

Que dói tanto quanto quando você os deixa ir

Me gusta

I met my girl when I was 18 years old

Conocí a mi chica cuando tenía 18 años

And she was just turning 23

Y ella estaba a punto de cumplir 23

I really love her from my heart

Realmente la amo desde mi corazón

And even though I don't deserve it fam I hope she loves me

Y aunque no lo merezco, familia, espero que ella me ame

So I just done this private show I'm doing Footlocker promo

Así que acabo de hacer este show privado, estoy haciendo promoción para Footlocker

And judging from the postcode it was Shoreditch or Soho

Y a juzgar por el código postal, era Shoreditch o Soho

Did 6 or 7 tracks, made 6 or 7 racks

Hice 6 o 7 pistas, gané 6 o 7 mil

A couple days later on twitter I saw this photo of myself and I was grinning

Un par de días después en Twitter vi esta foto de mí mismo y estaba sonriendo

That 4K camera of quality had got me tripping

Esa cámara 4K de calidad me tenía alucinando

So I'm checking out who did it

Así que estoy averiguando quién lo hizo

When I stumbled on this girl

Cuando me topé con esta chica

And I could tell that she was different

Y pude decir que ella era diferente

A couple hours later now I'm liking all her pictures

Un par de horas después ahora estoy dando me gusta a todas sus fotos

I ain't finished

No he terminado

I typed her twitter name into my Insta so I could check on every single little digit

Escribí su nombre de Twitter en mi Insta para poder revisar cada pequeño detalle

Why didn't I just message her?

¿Por qué no le envié un mensaje?

Trust me I was thinking, but I'm a self-centred rapper too concerned about my image

Créeme, lo estaba pensando, pero soy un rapero egocéntrico demasiado preocupado por mi imagen

The truth

La verdad

So when she hit me first I'm pretty shocked I didn't burst

Así que cuando ella me contactó primero, me sorprendió bastante que no explotara

I'm calling Josh, Jack and Juss who am I ringing first?

Estoy llamando a Josh, Jack y Juss, ¿a quién llamo primero?

Man I was so excited

Hombre, estaba tan emocionado

That I replied a minute later that's that bro I think that you just let her know excited

Que respondí un minuto después, eso es hermano, creo que acabas de dejarle saber que estás emocionado

Too excited, no clue on what I should do excited

Demasiado emocionado, sin idea de qué debería hacer emocionado

So I'm just typing, rambling like a fool, excited

Así que solo estoy escribiendo, divagando como un tonto, emocionado

Look

Mira

Look

Mira

And we were talking for hours over some minor things

Y estuvimos hablando durante horas sobre algunas cosas menores

Ignoring everyone else to her I'm replying quick

Ignorando a todos los demás, a ella le respondo rápido

This type of chick she got a spark like you were lighting spliffs

Este tipo de chica tiene una chispa como si estuvieras encendiendo porros

You know you like her when you're thinking about your words

Sabes que te gusta cuando estás pensando en tus palabras

She got me typing, deleting my messages then re-writing

Me tiene escribiendo, borrando mis mensajes y luego reescribiendo

In the hope that there's a smile when she's replying

Con la esperanza de que haya una sonrisa cuando ella responda

The highlight of my day, them phone calls in the night, it's the little things

El punto culminante de mi día, esas llamadas telefónicas en la noche, son las pequeñas cosas

The girl, she had a vibe and I liked it and

La chica, tenía un ambiente y me gustaba y

She's into photography and she's got a passion for it

Le gusta la fotografía y tiene pasión por ella

And she respects that I'm rapping but she ain't catting for it

Y respeta que yo rapeo pero no está obsesionada con eso

See that's the perfect balance

Verás, ese es el equilibrio perfecto

There's nothing better than a girl with talent

No hay nada mejor que una chica con talento

Drive, ambition, all of them things above

Impulso, ambición, todas esas cosas por encima

She's showing an abundance

Ella muestra abundancia

I ain't even met her yet

Ni siquiera la he conocido todavía

She works around the corner but lives just outside of London

Ella trabaja a la vuelta de la esquina pero vive a las afueras de Londres

I ain't fronting, I'm a sweet boy

No estoy fingiendo, soy un chico dulce

Intentions are in question so my compliments are decoys

Las intenciones están en cuestión, así que mis cumplidos son señuelos

If that even makes sense?

¿Si eso tiene sentido?

The first time I met her, I'm surrounded by my friends

La primera vez que la conocí, estaba rodeado de mis amigos

Random ends on some staircase

En algún rincón aleatorio en una escalera

So much for a first date

Vaya para una primera cita

I just had a show

Acabo de tener un show

And I asked if she could meet me after

Y le pregunté si podía encontrarse conmigo después

Maybe we could chill, you never know where things could go

Quizás podríamos pasar el rato, nunca se sabe a dónde podrían llevar las cosas

No problem she down to roll

No hay problema, ella está dispuesta a ir

Travelled in the cold

Viajó en el frío

So I went across the road, grey hoodie under a coat

Así que crucé la calle, sudadera gris debajo de un abrigo

If I'm remembering correctly

Si recuerdo correctamente

It's always kind of weird when the person that you were texting

Siempre es un poco extraño cuando la persona con la que estabas enviando mensajes de texto

Is the person you are obsessed with

Es la persona con la que estás obsesionado

I was on her from the jump

Estaba tras ella desde el principio

I think she was wearing pumps or Vans when I first met her, no, it's either either one

Creo que llevaba tacones o Vans cuando la conocí por primera vez, no, es uno u otro

She was looking so attractive I barely saw skin 'cause she was covered like a mattress

Ella lucía tan atractiva que apenas vi su piel porque estaba cubierta como un colchón

Man, I think that she's the one

Hombre, creo que ella es la única

I was stuck for twenty seconds tryna to give the girl a hug

Estuve paralizado durante veinte segundos intentando darle un abrazo a la chica

And all my friends are drunk so fuck it, I'm about to kiss her

Y todos mis amigos están borrachos, así que a la mierda, estoy a punto de besarla

Any complications, I'm blaming it on the liquor

Cualquier complicación, la culparé al alcohol

Changing my name on Twitter and blocking her on my Insta

Cambiando mi nombre en Twitter y bloqueándola en mi Insta

I saw her skin blush the moment that our lips touched

Vi su piel ruborizarse en el momento en que nuestros labios se tocaron

She pulled my bottom lip until it stretched

Ella tiró de mi labio inferior hasta que se estiró

Kissed me on my cheek until she reached around my neck

Me besó en la mejilla hasta que llegó a mi cuello

And had me moaning like a bitch

Y me hizo gemir como una perra

Even though I'm wearing jeans, I had to re-arrange my dick so she don't see that I'm erect

Aunque llevaba jeans, tuve que reajustar mi pene para que no viera que estaba erecto

It's the first time we met, got me feeling like a creep

Es la primera vez que nos encontramos, me siento como un acosador

And that strawberry flavour gave her tongue a kinda sweet little taste

Y ese sabor a fresa le dio a su lengua un dulce sabor

And we could speak about anything we were friends first

Y podíamos hablar de cualquier cosa, éramos amigos primero

I dropped her to the station I remember

La llevé a la estación, lo recuerdo

'Cause we had a conversation for ages about our dreams

Porque tuvimos una conversación durante horas sobre nuestros sueños

And the things that we hadn't seen and all that we intended to do

Y las cosas que no habíamos visto y todo lo que teníamos la intención de hacer

I bet she's hoping my intentions are true

Apuesto a que espera que mis intenciones sean verdaderas

And as months went by we both got into it, and intimate

Y a medida que pasaban los meses, ambos nos involucramos, e íntimos

And I'ma spare you the details 'cause both of our parents are probably listening

Y te ahorraré los detalles porque probablemente nuestros padres están escuchando

But really we were into it

Pero realmente estábamos en ello

Into us, into this

En nosotros, en esto

Into everything about each other we were lovers and I love her

En todo sobre el otro, éramos amantes y la amo

'Cause she knows me and that's probably why she told me you ain't ready for a girl

Porque me conoce y probablemente por eso me dijo que no estaba listo para una chica

You're still a little kid that's getting ready for the world and you don't need that kinda burden

Todavía eres un niño que se está preparando para el mundo y no necesitas ese tipo de carga

But I told her that I want it

Pero le dije que la quería

And I'm just being honest, yes I know that girls exist but I don't see them as a problem

Y solo estoy siendo honesto, sí sé que existen chicas pero no las veo como un problema

I meant every single word

Cada palabra que dije fue sincera

And I ain't gonna lie and say DM's have been absurd but out of every single girl

Y no voy a mentir y decir que los DM han sido absurdos, pero de todas las chicas

This is the weirdest of positions

Esta es la posición más extraña

It's usually the girl that's asking where I see her fitting or a place on her position

Por lo general, es la chica la que pregunta dónde me veo encajando o un lugar en su posición

But I'm telling her I need it

Pero le estoy diciendo que la necesito

And I don't think she sees it, so I'm being even sweeter when we're speaking and we're meeting

Y no creo que lo vea, así que estoy siendo aún más dulce cuando hablamos y nos encontramos

I've got affectionate messages, you could read them

Tengo mensajes afectuosos, podrías leerlos

You gotta tell a girl that she's beautiful 'til she sees it

Tienes que decirle a una chica que es hermosa hasta que lo vea

Believes it, understands it more than physically

Lo cree, lo entiende más que físicamente

Mentally, and the way that I'm feeling

Mentalmente, y la forma en que me siento

I could talk 10 years about the moment that we shared

Podría hablar 10 años sobre el momento que compartimos

The jokes that we had running

Las bromas que teníamos corriendo

The places that we've been

Los lugares a los que hemos ido

The music we made together producing next to my bed

La música que hicimos juntos produciendo junto a mi cama

Then making my minor changes in reference to what she said

Luego haciendo pequeños cambios en referencia a lo que ella dijo

I think I start to getting tired, my schedule's a mess

Creo que empiezo a cansarme, mi horario es un desastre

Replies are gettin' lazy and my lady knows it's crazy

Las respuestas se vuelven perezosas y mi dama sabe que es una locura

But she's there if I'm in need

Pero ella está ahí si la necesito

While I'm at shows getting tempted by girls that are on their knees

Mientras estoy en conciertos tentado por chicas que están de rodillas.

You know I'm only a teen, it's like my eyes started drifting

Sabes que solo soy un adolescente, es como si mis ojos empezaran a divagar

Not as easy as I pictured to give your all to a woman

No es tan fácil como imaginaba entregarte por completo a una mujer

Ignoring all this attention that's been getting to my head

Ignorando toda esta atención que ha llegado a mi cabeza

The sex is so accessible, one message or text and girls will get in your bed

El sexo es tan accesible, un mensaje o texto y las chicas entrarán en tu cama

She's tryna make it happen with photos and her events

Ella está intentando que suceda con fotos y sus eventos

I mentioned it's her passion, photography is her thing

Mencioné que es su pasión, la fotografía es lo suyo

And I don't know if it's the pressure

Y no sé si es la presión

Where paper meets the passion and the pleasure

Donde el papel se encuentra con la pasión y el placer

We all gotta work to survive

Todos tenemos que trabajar para sobrevivir

So now she's popping up at shows

Así que ahora ella está apareciendo en los shows

Taking pictures on her own

Tomando fotos por su cuenta

And at first it wasn't cool

Y al principio no estaba bien

But fuck it we let it go

Pero qué demonios, lo dejamos pasar

Until I saw her in some rapper's tracksuit, I felt a way

Hasta que la vi en el chándal de algún rapero, me sentí mal

She told me it was work and she was in some studio

Me dijo que era trabajo y que estaba en algún estudio

Taking pictures and I just sighed

Tomando fotos y yo solo suspiré

Some halfway wannabe rappers that fed her lies

Algunos raperos wannabe que le alimentaron mentiras

They ain't looking for no picture

No están buscando una foto

I know it's your profession

Sé que es tu profesión

But read their intentions

Pero lee sus intenciones

They ain't paying male photographers to shoot that same session

No están pagando a fotógrafos hombres para hacer esa misma sesión

And that felt so disrespectful, standing on our dreams

Y eso se sintió tan irrespetuoso, pisoteando nuestros sueños

And crushing 'em, I just told her it's nothing do what you need to do

Y aplastándolos, solo le dije que no es nada, haz lo que necesites hacer

If I ain't feeding you

Si no te estoy alimentando

Then my opinion's all I'm giving when I speak to you

Entonces mi opinión es todo lo que doy cuando hablo contigo

'Cause I don't have the right

Porque no tengo el derecho

Why should girls be punished for a male's dirty mind?

¿Por qué las chicas deberían ser castigadas por la mente sucia de un hombre?

When I think about it now, I'm ashamed to the core

Cuando lo pienso ahora, me avergüenzo hasta la médula

I mean how many men stop their women from

Quiero decir, ¿cuántos hombres impiden a sus mujeres

Achieving what they can because in secret they've been feeling insecure

Lograr lo que pueden porque en secreto se han sentido inseguros?

And I can't handle my emotions, it's probably why I didn't see her

Y no puedo manejar mis emociones, probablemente por eso no la vi

Talent when I shoulda been supporting and promoting

Talento cuando debería haber estado apoyando y promoviendo

Like I didn't have a platform, a voice and a following

Como si no tuviera una plataforma, una voz y seguidores

With everyone I knew, I really coulda do a lot of things to help chase her dream

Con todos los que conocía, realmente podría haber hecho muchas cosas para ayudar a perseguir su sueño

But instead of me to grow into the person that she needs

Pero en lugar de crecer en la persona que ella necesita

I acted like I couldn't see

Actué como si no pudiera ver

And I don't mean to say this like I don't trust the girl

Y no quiero decir esto como que no confío en la chica

But how can I trust her if I don't trust myself?

¿Pero cómo puedo confiar en ella si no confío en mí mismo?

And even girls can get tempted you know how it goes

E incluso las chicas pueden sentirse tentadas, sabes cómo va

What if she meets a bigger rapper when she's at a show?

¿Qué pasa si conoce a un rapero más grande cuando está en un show?

What if he sees her backstage?

¿Qué pasa si él la ve detrás del escenario?

What if he selling lots?

¿Qué pasa si vende mucho?

What if he's got a bigger car, got a better watch?

¿Qué pasa si tiene un coche más grande, un mejor reloj?

That doesn't bother me, she really ain't material

Eso no me molesta, ella realmente no es materialista

It's all the little things they do that put the fear in you

Son todas las pequeñas cosas que hacen que te asustes

What if he actually replies?

¿Qué pasa si él realmente responde?

What if he phones her too?

¿Qué pasa si él también la llama?

What if he's doing all the things that I'm supposed to do?

¿Qué pasa si está haciendo todas las cosas que se supone que debo hacer?

What if he's listening, laughing, relating?

¿Qué pasa si está escuchando, riendo, relacionándose?

What if he even cares to ask her how her day's been?

¿Qué pasa si incluso se preocupa por preguntarle cómo ha sido su día?

What if he's trying to give her everything she needs

¿Qué pasa si está tratando de darle todo lo que necesita

And expects from the one damn person that she's dating?

Y espera de la única maldita persona con la que está saliendo?

I shoulda helped her follow her dream

Debería haberla ayudado a seguir su sueño

But instead I held her back and had her following me

Pero en lugar de eso, la retuve y la hice seguirme a mí

And boys got a brave face so they'll never know

Y los chicos tienen una cara valiente, así que nunca lo sabrán

That it hurts just as much when you let them go

Que duele tanto cuando los dejas ir

Comme

I met my girl when I was 18 years old

J'ai rencontré ma fille quand j'avais 18 ans

And she was just turning 23

Et elle venait tout juste d'avoir 23 ans

I really love her from my heart

Je l'aime vraiment de tout mon cœur

And even though I don't deserve it fam I hope she loves me

Et même si je ne le mérite pas, j'espère qu'elle m'aime

So I just done this private show I'm doing Footlocker promo

Alors je viens de faire ce spectacle privé, je fais de la promo pour Footlocker

And judging from the postcode it was Shoreditch or Soho

Et à en juger par le code postal, c'était à Shoreditch ou Soho

Did 6 or 7 tracks, made 6 or 7 racks

J'ai fait 6 ou 7 morceaux, j'ai gagné 6 ou 7 racks

A couple days later on twitter I saw this photo of myself and I was grinning

Quelques jours plus tard sur Twitter, j'ai vu cette photo de moi et je souriais

That 4K camera of quality had got me tripping

Cette caméra 4K de qualité m'a fait tripper

So I'm checking out who did it

Alors je vérifie qui l'a fait

When I stumbled on this girl

Quand je suis tombé sur cette fille

And I could tell that she was different

Et je pouvais dire qu'elle était différente

A couple hours later now I'm liking all her pictures

Quelques heures plus tard, maintenant j'aime toutes ses photos

I ain't finished

Je n'ai pas fini

I typed her twitter name into my Insta so I could check on every single little digit

J'ai tapé son nom Twitter dans mon Insta pour pouvoir vérifier chaque petit chiffre

Why didn't I just message her?

Pourquoi ne lui ai-je pas simplement envoyé un message ?

Trust me I was thinking, but I'm a self-centred rapper too concerned about my image

Croyez-moi, j'y pensais, mais je suis un rappeur égocentrique trop préoccupé par mon image

The truth

La vérité

So when she hit me first I'm pretty shocked I didn't burst

Alors quand elle m'a contacté en premier, je suis assez choqué de ne pas avoir éclaté

I'm calling Josh, Jack and Juss who am I ringing first?

J'appelle Josh, Jack et Juss, qui dois-je appeler en premier ?

Man I was so excited

J'étais tellement excité

That I replied a minute later that's that bro I think that you just let her know excited

Que j'ai répondu une minute plus tard, c'est ça mon gars, je pense que tu viens de lui faire savoir à quel point tu es excité

Too excited, no clue on what I should do excited

Trop excité, aucune idée de ce que je devrais faire, excité

So I'm just typing, rambling like a fool, excited

Alors je tape, je radote comme un imbécile, excité

Look

Regarde

Look

Regarde

And we were talking for hours over some minor things

Et nous avons parlé pendant des heures de choses mineures

Ignoring everyone else to her I'm replying quick

Ignorant tout le monde, je lui réponds vite

This type of chick she got a spark like you were lighting spliffs

Ce type de fille, elle a une étincelle comme si tu allumais des joints

You know you like her when you're thinking about your words

Tu sais que tu l'aimes quand tu réfléchis à tes mots

She got me typing, deleting my messages then re-writing

Elle me fait taper, supprimer mes messages puis les réécrire

In the hope that there's a smile when she's replying

Dans l'espoir qu'il y ait un sourire quand elle répond

The highlight of my day, them phone calls in the night, it's the little things

Le clou de ma journée, ces appels téléphoniques dans la nuit, ce sont les petites choses

The girl, she had a vibe and I liked it and

La fille, elle avait une ambiance et j'aimais ça et

She's into photography and she's got a passion for it

Elle est passionnée de photographie et elle a une passion pour ça

And she respects that I'm rapping but she ain't catting for it

Et elle respecte que je rappe mais elle n'est pas obsédée par ça

See that's the perfect balance

Voyez, c'est l'équilibre parfait

There's nothing better than a girl with talent

Il n'y a rien de mieux qu'une fille avec du talent

Drive, ambition, all of them things above

Motivation, ambition, toutes ces choses ci-dessus

She's showing an abundance

Elle en montre une abondance

I ain't even met her yet

Je ne l'ai même pas encore rencontrée

She works around the corner but lives just outside of London

Elle travaille au coin de la rue mais vit juste à l'extérieur de Londres

I ain't fronting, I'm a sweet boy

Je ne fais pas semblant, je suis un gentil garçon

Intentions are in question so my compliments are decoys

Les intentions sont en question, donc mes compliments sont des leurres

If that even makes sense?

Si cela a même un sens ?

The first time I met her, I'm surrounded by my friends

La première fois que je l'ai rencontrée, j'étais entouré de mes amis

Random ends on some staircase

Des bouts de rue sur un escalier

So much for a first date

Tant pis pour un premier rendez-vous

I just had a show

Je viens de faire un spectacle

And I asked if she could meet me after

Et j'ai demandé si elle pouvait me rencontrer après

Maybe we could chill, you never know where things could go

Peut-être que nous pourrions nous détendre, on ne sait jamais où les choses peuvent aller

No problem she down to roll

Pas de problème, elle est prête à rouler

Travelled in the cold

A voyagé dans le froid

So I went across the road, grey hoodie under a coat

Alors je suis allé de l'autre côté de la rue, un sweat à capuche gris sous un manteau

If I'm remembering correctly

Si je me souviens bien

It's always kind of weird when the person that you were texting

C'est toujours un peu bizarre quand la personne à qui vous envoyiez des textos

Is the person you are obsessed with

Est la personne dont vous êtes obsédé

I was on her from the jump

Je la voulais dès le départ

I think she was wearing pumps or Vans when I first met her, no, it's either either one

Je pense qu'elle portait des escarpins ou des Vans quand je l'ai rencontrée pour la première fois, non, c'est l'un ou l'autre

She was looking so attractive I barely saw skin 'cause she was covered like a mattress

Elle était si attirante que je voyais à peine sa peau car elle était couverte comme un matelas

Man, I think that she's the one

Mec, je pense qu'elle est la bonne

I was stuck for twenty seconds tryna to give the girl a hug

J'étais coincé pendant vingt secondes en essayant de lui faire un câlin

And all my friends are drunk so fuck it, I'm about to kiss her

Et tous mes amis sont ivres alors merde, je suis sur le point de l'embrasser

Any complications, I'm blaming it on the liquor

Toute complication, je la mettrai sur le compte de l'alcool

Changing my name on Twitter and blocking her on my Insta

Je change mon nom sur Twitter et je la bloque sur mon Insta

I saw her skin blush the moment that our lips touched

J'ai vu sa peau rougir au moment où nos lèvres se sont touchées

She pulled my bottom lip until it stretched

Elle a tiré sur ma lèvre inférieure jusqu'à ce qu'elle s'étire

Kissed me on my cheek until she reached around my neck

Elle m'a embrassé sur la joue jusqu'à ce qu'elle atteigne mon cou

And had me moaning like a bitch

Et elle m'a fait gémir comme une chienne

Even though I'm wearing jeans, I had to re-arrange my dick so she don't see that I'm erect

Même si je porte des jeans, j'ai dû réarranger mon sexe pour qu'elle ne voie pas que je suis en érection

It's the first time we met, got me feeling like a creep

C'est la première fois que nous nous rencontrons, ça me fait me sentir comme un pervers

And that strawberry flavour gave her tongue a kinda sweet little taste

Et cette saveur de fraise a donné à sa langue un goût un peu sucré

And we could speak about anything we were friends first

Et nous pouvions parler de tout, nous étions d'abord amis

I dropped her to the station I remember

Je l'ai déposée à la gare je m'en souviens

'Cause we had a conversation for ages about our dreams

Parce que nous avons eu une conversation pendant des heures sur nos rêves

And the things that we hadn't seen and all that we intended to do

Et les choses que nous n'avions pas vues et tout ce que nous avions l'intention de faire

I bet she's hoping my intentions are true

Je parie qu'elle espère que mes intentions sont sincères

And as months went by we both got into it, and intimate

Et au fil des mois, nous nous sommes tous les deux impliqués, et intimes

And I'ma spare you the details 'cause both of our parents are probably listening

Et je vais vous épargner les détails car nos parents sont probablement en train d'écouter

But really we were into it

Mais vraiment, nous étions dedans

Into us, into this

Dans nous, dans ça

Into everything about each other we were lovers and I love her

Dans tout ce qui concerne l'autre, nous étions amoureux et je l'aime

'Cause she knows me and that's probably why she told me you ain't ready for a girl

Parce qu'elle me connaît et c'est probablement pourquoi elle m'a dit que tu n'es pas prêt pour une fille

You're still a little kid that's getting ready for the world and you don't need that kinda burden

Tu es encore un petit garçon qui se prépare pour le monde et tu n'as pas besoin de ce genre de fardeau

But I told her that I want it

Mais je lui ai dit que je le voulais

And I'm just being honest, yes I know that girls exist but I don't see them as a problem

Et je suis juste honnête, oui je sais que les filles existent mais je ne les vois pas comme un problème

I meant every single word

J'ai dit chaque mot

And I ain't gonna lie and say DM's have been absurd but out of every single girl

Et je ne vais pas mentir et dire que les DM ont été absurdes mais parmi toutes les filles

This is the weirdest of positions

C'est la position la plus étrange

It's usually the girl that's asking where I see her fitting or a place on her position

C'est généralement la fille qui demande où je la vois s'intégrer ou une place sur sa position

But I'm telling her I need it

Mais je lui dis que j'en ai besoin

And I don't think she sees it, so I'm being even sweeter when we're speaking and we're meeting

Et je ne pense pas qu'elle le voit, alors je suis encore plus doux quand nous parlons et nous nous rencontrons

I've got affectionate messages, you could read them

J'ai des messages affectueux, tu pourrais les lire

You gotta tell a girl that she's beautiful 'til she sees it

Tu dois dire à une fille qu'elle est belle jusqu'à ce qu'elle le voit

Believes it, understands it more than physically

Le croit, le comprend plus que physiquement

Mentally, and the way that I'm feeling

Mentalement, et la façon dont je me sens

I could talk 10 years about the moment that we shared

Je pourrais parler 10 ans du moment que nous avons partagé

The jokes that we had running

Les blagues que nous avions en cours

The places that we've been

Les endroits où nous sommes allés

The music we made together producing next to my bed

La musique que nous avons faite ensemble en produisant à côté de mon lit

Then making my minor changes in reference to what she said

Puis en faisant mes petits changements en référence à ce qu'elle a dit

I think I start to getting tired, my schedule's a mess

Je pense que je commence à être fatigué, mon emploi du temps est un désordre

Replies are gettin' lazy and my lady knows it's crazy

Les réponses deviennent paresseuses et ma dame sait que c'est fou

But she's there if I'm in need

Mais elle est là si j'ai besoin

While I'm at shows getting tempted by girls that are on their knees

Alors que je suis à des spectacles tenté par des filles qui sont à genoux.

You know I'm only a teen, it's like my eyes started drifting

Tu sais que je ne suis qu'un adolescent, c'est comme si mes yeux commençaient à dériver

Not as easy as I pictured to give your all to a woman

Ce n'est pas aussi facile que je l'imaginais de tout donner à une femme

Ignoring all this attention that's been getting to my head

Ignorant toute cette attention qui monte à la tête

The sex is so accessible, one message or text and girls will get in your bed

Le sexe est si accessible, un message ou un texto et les filles se retrouveront dans ton lit

She's tryna make it happen with photos and her events

Elle essaie de faire en sorte que ça se passe avec des photos et ses événements

I mentioned it's her passion, photography is her thing

J'ai mentionné que c'est sa passion, la photographie est son truc

And I don't know if it's the pressure

Et je ne sais pas si c'est la pression

Where paper meets the passion and the pleasure

Où le papier rencontre la passion et le plaisir

We all gotta work to survive

Nous devons tous travailler pour survivre

So now she's popping up at shows

Alors maintenant, elle apparaît à des spectacles

Taking pictures on her own

Prendre des photos toute seule

And at first it wasn't cool

Et au début ce n'était pas cool

But fuck it we let it go

Mais on a laissé tomber

Until I saw her in some rapper's tracksuit, I felt a way

Jusqu'à ce que je la voie dans le survêtement d'un rappeur, j'ai ressenti quelque chose

She told me it was work and she was in some studio

Elle m'a dit que c'était du travail et qu'elle était dans un studio

Taking pictures and I just sighed

Prendre des photos et j'ai juste soupiré

Some halfway wannabe rappers that fed her lies

Des rappeurs wannabe à moitié qui lui ont menti

They ain't looking for no picture

Ils ne cherchent pas de photo

I know it's your profession

Je sais que c'est ta profession

But read their intentions

Mais lis leurs intentions

They ain't paying male photographers to shoot that same session

Ils ne paient pas les photographes masculins pour faire la même séance

And that felt so disrespectful, standing on our dreams

Et cela a été si irrespectueux, debout sur nos rêves

And crushing 'em, I just told her it's nothing do what you need to do

Et les écraser, je lui ai juste dit que ce n'est rien, fais ce que tu as à faire

If I ain't feeding you

Si je ne te nourris pas

Then my opinion's all I'm giving when I speak to you

Alors mon opinion est tout ce que je donne quand je te parle

'Cause I don't have the right

Parce que je n'ai pas le droit

Why should girls be punished for a male's dirty mind?

Pourquoi les filles devraient-elles être punies pour l'esprit sale d'un homme ?

When I think about it now, I'm ashamed to the core

Quand j'y pense maintenant, j'ai honte jusqu'au bout

I mean how many men stop their women from

Je veux dire combien d'hommes empêchent leurs femmes de

Achieving what they can because in secret they've been feeling insecure

Atteindre ce qu'elles peuvent parce qu'en secret ils se sentent insécurisés

And I can't handle my emotions, it's probably why I didn't see her

Et je ne peux pas gérer mes émotions, c'est probablement pourquoi je ne l'ai pas vue

Talent when I shoulda been supporting and promoting

Talent quand j'aurais dû soutenir et promouvoir

Like I didn't have a platform, a voice and a following

Comme si je n'avais pas une plateforme, une voix et un public

With everyone I knew, I really coulda do a lot of things to help chase her dream

Avec tout le monde que je connaissais, j'aurais vraiment pu faire beaucoup de choses pour l'aider à réaliser son rêve

But instead of me to grow into the person that she needs

Mais au lieu de grandir en la personne dont elle a besoin

I acted like I couldn't see

J'ai agi comme si je ne pouvais pas voir

And I don't mean to say this like I don't trust the girl

Et je ne veux pas dire ça comme si je ne faisais pas confiance à la fille

But how can I trust her if I don't trust myself?

Mais comment puis-je lui faire confiance si je ne me fais pas confiance à moi-même ?

And even girls can get tempted you know how it goes

Et même les filles peuvent être tentées, tu sais comment ça se passe

What if she meets a bigger rapper when she's at a show?

Et si elle rencontre un rappeur plus grand quand elle est à un spectacle ?

What if he sees her backstage?

Et s'il la voit en coulisses ?

What if he selling lots?

Et s'il vend beaucoup ?

What if he's got a bigger car, got a better watch?

Et s'il a une voiture plus grande, une meilleure montre ?

That doesn't bother me, she really ain't material

Ça ne me dérange pas, elle n'est vraiment pas matérialiste

It's all the little things they do that put the fear in you

Ce sont toutes les petites choses qu'ils font qui te font peur

What if he actually replies?

Et s'il répond vraiment ?

What if he phones her too?

Et s'il l'appelle aussi ?

What if he's doing all the things that I'm supposed to do?

Et s'il fait toutes les choses que je suis censé faire ?

What if he's listening, laughing, relating?

Et s'il écoute, rit, se rapporte ?

What if he even cares to ask her how her day's been?

Et s'il se soucie même de lui demander comment s'est passée sa journée ?

What if he's trying to give her everything she needs

Et s'il essaie de lui donner tout ce dont elle a besoin

And expects from the one damn person that she's dating?

Et attend de la seule personne avec qui elle sort ?

I shoulda helped her follow her dream

J'aurais dû l'aider à suivre son rêve

But instead I held her back and had her following me

Mais au lieu de ça, je l'ai retenue et je l'ai fait me suivre

And boys got a brave face so they'll never know

Et les garçons ont un visage courageux donc ils ne sauront jamais

That it hurts just as much when you let them go

Que ça fait tout aussi mal quand tu les laisses partir.

Wie

I met my girl when I was 18 years old

Ich habe mein Mädchen getroffen, als ich 18 Jahre alt war

And she was just turning 23

Und sie wurde gerade 23

I really love her from my heart

Ich liebe sie wirklich von ganzem Herzen

And even though I don't deserve it fam I hope she loves me

Und obwohl ich es nicht verdiene, hoffe ich, dass sie mich liebt

So I just done this private show I'm doing Footlocker promo

Also habe ich gerade diese private Show gemacht, ich mache Footlocker Promo

And judging from the postcode it was Shoreditch or Soho

Und nach der Postleitzahl zu urteilen, war es Shoreditch oder Soho

Did 6 or 7 tracks, made 6 or 7 racks

Habe 6 oder 7 Tracks gemacht, habe 6 oder 7 Racks gemacht

A couple days later on twitter I saw this photo of myself and I was grinning

Ein paar Tage später auf Twitter sah ich dieses Foto von mir und ich grinste

That 4K camera of quality had got me tripping

Diese 4K-Kamera von Qualität hat mich stolpern lassen

So I'm checking out who did it

Also schaue ich nach, wer es gemacht hat

When I stumbled on this girl

Als ich über dieses Mädchen stolperte

And I could tell that she was different

Und ich konnte sagen, dass sie anders war

A couple hours later now I'm liking all her pictures

Ein paar Stunden später gefallen mir jetzt all ihre Bilder

I ain't finished

Ich bin noch nicht fertig

I typed her twitter name into my Insta so I could check on every single little digit

Ich habe ihren Twitter-Namen in mein Insta getippt, damit ich jede einzelne kleine Ziffer überprüfen kann

Why didn't I just message her?

Warum habe ich ihr nicht einfach eine Nachricht geschickt?

Trust me I was thinking, but I'm a self-centred rapper too concerned about my image

Vertrau mir, ich habe darüber nachgedacht, aber ich bin ein selbstzentrierter Rapper, der zu sehr auf mein Image bedacht ist

The truth

Die Wahrheit

So when she hit me first I'm pretty shocked I didn't burst

Also als sie mich zuerst anschrieb, war ich ziemlich schockiert, dass ich nicht platzte

I'm calling Josh, Jack and Juss who am I ringing first?

Ich rufe Josh, Jack und Juss an, wen rufe ich zuerst an?

Man I was so excited

Mann, ich war so aufgeregt

That I replied a minute later that's that bro I think that you just let her know excited

Dass ich eine Minute später geantwortet habe, das ist es, Bruder, ich glaube, du hast ihr gerade gezeigt, wie aufgeregt du bist

Too excited, no clue on what I should do excited

Zu aufgeregt, keine Ahnung, was ich tun soll, aufgeregt

So I'm just typing, rambling like a fool, excited

Also tippe ich einfach, plappere wie ein Narr, aufgeregt

Look

Schau

Look

Schau

And we were talking for hours over some minor things

Und wir haben stundenlang über Kleinigkeiten geredet

Ignoring everyone else to her I'm replying quick

Ich ignoriere alle anderen, um ihr schnell zu antworten

This type of chick she got a spark like you were lighting spliffs

Dieser Typ von Mädchen hat einen Funken, als würdest du Spliffs anzünden

You know you like her when you're thinking about your words

Du weißt, dass du sie magst, wenn du über deine Worte nachdenkst

She got me typing, deleting my messages then re-writing

Sie bringt mich dazu, meine Nachrichten zu tippen, zu löschen und dann neu zu schreiben

In the hope that there's a smile when she's replying

In der Hoffnung, dass sie lächelt, wenn sie antwortet

The highlight of my day, them phone calls in the night, it's the little things

Das Highlight meines Tages, diese nächtlichen Telefonate, es sind die kleinen Dinge

The girl, she had a vibe and I liked it and

Das Mädchen, sie hatte eine Ausstrahlung und ich mochte es und

She's into photography and she's got a passion for it

Sie ist in die Fotografie und sie hat eine Leidenschaft dafür

And she respects that I'm rapping but she ain't catting for it

Und sie respektiert, dass ich rappe, aber sie ist nicht verrückt danach

See that's the perfect balance

Siehst du, das ist die perfekte Balance

There's nothing better than a girl with talent

Es gibt nichts Besseres als ein Mädchen mit Talent

Drive, ambition, all of them things above

Antrieb, Ehrgeiz, all diese Dinge darüber

She's showing an abundance

Sie zeigt einen Überfluss

I ain't even met her yet

Ich habe sie noch nicht einmal getroffen

She works around the corner but lives just outside of London

Sie arbeitet um die Ecke, aber lebt etwas außerhalb von London

I ain't fronting, I'm a sweet boy

Ich tue nicht so, ich bin ein süßer Junge

Intentions are in question so my compliments are decoys

Die Absichten sind in Frage, also sind meine Komplimente Täuschungen

If that even makes sense?

Macht das überhaupt Sinn?

The first time I met her, I'm surrounded by my friends

Das erste Mal, als ich sie traf, war ich von meinen Freunden umgeben

Random ends on some staircase

Zufällige Enden auf einer Treppe

So much for a first date

So viel für ein erstes Date

I just had a show

Ich hatte gerade eine Show

And I asked if she could meet me after

Und ich fragte, ob sie mich danach treffen könnte

Maybe we could chill, you never know where things could go

Vielleicht könnten wir uns entspannen, man weiß nie, wohin die Dinge führen könnten

No problem she down to roll

Kein Problem, sie ist bereit zu rollen

Travelled in the cold

Reiste in der Kälte

So I went across the road, grey hoodie under a coat

Also ging ich über die Straße, grauer Hoodie unter einem Mantel

If I'm remembering correctly

Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere

It's always kind of weird when the person that you were texting

Es ist immer irgendwie seltsam, wenn die Person, mit der du getextet hast

Is the person you are obsessed with

Die Person ist, mit der du besessen bist

I was on her from the jump

Ich war von Anfang an auf sie fixiert

I think she was wearing pumps or Vans when I first met her, no, it's either either one

Ich glaube, sie trug Pumps oder Vans, als ich sie zum ersten Mal traf, nein, es war entweder das eine oder das andere

She was looking so attractive I barely saw skin 'cause she was covered like a mattress

Sie sah so attraktiv aus, dass ich kaum Haut sah, denn sie war bedeckt wie eine Matratze

Man, I think that she's the one

Mann, ich glaube, sie ist die Eine

I was stuck for twenty seconds tryna to give the girl a hug

Ich war zwanzig Sekunden lang wie festgenagelt, versuchte dem Mädchen eine Umarmung zu geben

And all my friends are drunk so fuck it, I'm about to kiss her

Und all meine Freunde sind betrunken, also scheiß drauf, ich bin kurz davor, sie zu küssen

Any complications, I'm blaming it on the liquor

Bei irgendwelchen Komplikationen schiebe ich es auf den Alkohol

Changing my name on Twitter and blocking her on my Insta

Ändere meinen Namen auf Twitter und blockiere sie auf meinem Insta

I saw her skin blush the moment that our lips touched

Ich sah, wie ihre Haut errötete, in dem Moment, als unsere Lippen sich berührten

She pulled my bottom lip until it stretched

Sie zog meine Unterlippe, bis sie sich dehnte

Kissed me on my cheek until she reached around my neck

Küsste mich auf die Wange, bis sie meinen Hals erreichte

And had me moaning like a bitch

Und ließ mich stöhnen wie eine Hündin

Even though I'm wearing jeans, I had to re-arrange my dick so she don't see that I'm erect

Obwohl ich Jeans trug, musste ich meinen Schwanz neu arrangieren, damit sie nicht sieht, dass ich erregt bin

It's the first time we met, got me feeling like a creep

Es ist das erste Mal, dass wir uns trafen, ich fühlte mich wie ein Creep

And that strawberry flavour gave her tongue a kinda sweet little taste

Und dieser Erdbeergeschmack gab ihrer Zunge einen süßen kleinen Geschmack

And we could speak about anything we were friends first

Und wir konnten über alles reden, wir waren zuerst Freunde

I dropped her to the station I remember

Ich brachte sie zum Bahnhof, daran erinnere ich mich

'Cause we had a conversation for ages about our dreams

Denn wir hatten ein stundenlanges Gespräch über unsere Träume

And the things that we hadn't seen and all that we intended to do

Und die Dinge, die wir noch nicht gesehen hatten und alles, was wir vorhatten zu tun

I bet she's hoping my intentions are true

Ich wette, sie hofft, dass meine Absichten ehrlich sind

And as months went by we both got into it, and intimate

Und als die Monate vergingen, wurden wir beide immer mehr involviert und intim

And I'ma spare you the details 'cause both of our parents are probably listening

Und ich werde euch die Details ersparen, denn wahrscheinlich hören gerade beide unsere Eltern zu

But really we were into it

Aber wirklich, wir waren total dabei

Into us, into this

Bei uns, bei dem Ganzen

Into everything about each other we were lovers and I love her

Bei allem, was uns aneinander gefiel, wir waren Liebende und ich liebe sie

'Cause she knows me and that's probably why she told me you ain't ready for a girl

Denn sie kennt mich und das ist wahrscheinlich der Grund, warum sie mir sagte, du bist noch nicht bereit für ein Mädchen

You're still a little kid that's getting ready for the world and you don't need that kinda burden

Du bist immer noch ein kleiner Junge, der sich auf die Welt vorbereitet und du brauchst diese Art von Belastung nicht

But I told her that I want it

Aber ich sagte ihr, dass ich es will

And I'm just being honest, yes I know that girls exist but I don't see them as a problem

Und ich bin einfach ehrlich, ja, ich weiß, dass es Mädchen gibt, aber ich sehe sie nicht als Problem

I meant every single word

Ich meinte jedes einzelne Wort

And I ain't gonna lie and say DM's have been absurd but out of every single girl

Und ich werde nicht lügen und sagen, dass die DMs absurd waren, aber von jedem einzelnen Mädchen

This is the weirdest of positions

Das ist die merkwürdigste Position

It's usually the girl that's asking where I see her fitting or a place on her position

Normalerweise ist es das Mädchen, das fragt, wo ich sie sehe oder einen Platz für sie

But I'm telling her I need it

Aber ich sage ihr, dass ich es brauche

And I don't think she sees it, so I'm being even sweeter when we're speaking and we're meeting

Und ich glaube nicht, dass sie es sieht, also bin ich noch süßer, wenn wir sprechen und uns treffen

I've got affectionate messages, you could read them

Ich habe liebevolle Nachrichten, du könntest sie lesen

You gotta tell a girl that she's beautiful 'til she sees it

Du musst einem Mädchen sagen, dass sie schön ist, bis sie es sieht

Believes it, understands it more than physically

Glaubt es, versteht es mehr als nur körperlich

Mentally, and the way that I'm feeling

Geistig, und die Art, wie ich mich fühle

I could talk 10 years about the moment that we shared

Ich könnte 10 Jahre über den Moment sprechen, den wir geteilt haben

The jokes that we had running

Die Witze, die wir gemacht haben

The places that we've been

Die Orte, die wir besucht haben

The music we made together producing next to my bed

Die Musik, die wir zusammen gemacht haben, produziert neben meinem Bett

Then making my minor changes in reference to what she said

Dann machte ich kleinere Änderungen in Bezug auf das, was sie sagte

I think I start to getting tired, my schedule's a mess

Ich glaube, ich fange an müde zu werden, mein Zeitplan ist ein Durcheinander

Replies are gettin' lazy and my lady knows it's crazy

Antworten werden faul und meine Dame weiß, dass es verrückt ist

But she's there if I'm in need

Aber sie ist da, wenn ich sie brauche

While I'm at shows getting tempted by girls that are on their knees

Während ich bei Shows bin und von Mädchen in die Versuchung geführt werde, die auf den Knien sind.

You know I'm only a teen, it's like my eyes started drifting

Du weißt, ich bin nur ein Teenager, es ist, als ob meine Augen anfingen zu wandern

Not as easy as I pictured to give your all to a woman

Es ist nicht so einfach, wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe, einer Frau alles zu geben

Ignoring all this attention that's been getting to my head

Ich ignoriere all diese Aufmerksamkeit, die mir zu Kopf steigt

The sex is so accessible, one message or text and girls will get in your bed

Sex ist so leicht zugänglich, eine Nachricht oder ein Text und Mädchen landen in deinem Bett

She's tryna make it happen with photos and her events

Sie versucht es mit Fotos und ihren Veranstaltungen zu schaffen

I mentioned it's her passion, photography is her thing

Ich erwähnte, dass es ihre Leidenschaft ist, Fotografie ist ihr Ding

And I don't know if it's the pressure

Und ich weiß nicht, ob es der Druck ist

Where paper meets the passion and the pleasure

Wo Papier auf Leidenschaft und Vergnügen trifft

We all gotta work to survive

Wir müssen alle arbeiten, um zu überleben

So now she's popping up at shows

Also taucht sie jetzt bei Shows auf

Taking pictures on her own

Macht ihre eigenen Fotos

And at first it wasn't cool

Und anfangs war es nicht cool

But fuck it we let it go

Aber verdammt, wir haben es gehen lassen

Until I saw her in some rapper's tracksuit, I felt a way

Bis ich sie in einem Trainingsanzug eines Rappers sah, fühlte ich mich komisch

She told me it was work and she was in some studio

Sie sagte mir, es sei Arbeit und sie sei in irgendeinem Studio

Taking pictures and I just sighed

Macht Fotos und ich seufzte nur

Some halfway wannabe rappers that fed her lies

Einige Möchtegern-Rapper, die ihr Lügen erzählten

They ain't looking for no picture

Sie suchen kein Foto

I know it's your profession

Ich weiß, es ist dein Beruf

But read their intentions

Aber lies ihre Absichten

They ain't paying male photographers to shoot that same session

Sie zahlen keine männlichen Fotografen, um dieselbe Session zu fotografieren

And that felt so disrespectful, standing on our dreams

Und das fühlte sich so respektlos an, auf unseren Träumen stehend

And crushing 'em, I just told her it's nothing do what you need to do

Und sie zermalmend, ich sagte ihr einfach, es sei nichts, tu, was du tun musst

If I ain't feeding you

Wenn ich dich nicht ernähre

Then my opinion's all I'm giving when I speak to you

Dann ist meine Meinung alles, was ich gebe, wenn ich mit dir spreche

'Cause I don't have the right

Denn ich habe nicht das Recht

Why should girls be punished for a male's dirty mind?

Warum sollten Mädchen für den schmutzigen Verstand eines Mannes bestraft werden?

When I think about it now, I'm ashamed to the core

Wenn ich jetzt darüber nachdenke, schäme ich mich bis ins Mark

I mean how many men stop their women from

Ich meine, wie viele Männer hindern ihre Frauen daran

Achieving what they can because in secret they've been feeling insecure

Das zu erreichen, was sie können, weil sie heimlich unsicher sind

And I can't handle my emotions, it's probably why I didn't see her

Und ich kann mit meinen Emotionen nicht umgehen, deshalb habe ich ihr wahrscheinlich nicht gesehen

Talent when I shoulda been supporting and promoting

Talent, als ich sie hätte unterstützen und fördern sollen

Like I didn't have a platform, a voice and a following

Als hätte ich keine Plattform, eine Stimme und eine Anhängerschaft

With everyone I knew, I really coulda do a lot of things to help chase her dream

Mit jedem, den ich kannte, hätte ich wirklich viel tun können, um ihren Traum zu verfolgen

But instead of me to grow into the person that she needs

Aber anstatt zu der Person zu werden, die sie braucht

I acted like I couldn't see

Habe ich so getan, als könnte ich es nicht sehen

And I don't mean to say this like I don't trust the girl

Und ich meine das nicht so, als würde ich dem Mädchen nicht vertrauen

But how can I trust her if I don't trust myself?

Aber wie kann ich ihr vertrauen, wenn ich mir selbst nicht vertraue?

And even girls can get tempted you know how it goes

Und auch Mädchen können in Versuchung geraten, du weißt, wie das läuft

What if she meets a bigger rapper when she's at a show?

Was ist, wenn sie einen größeren Rapper trifft, wenn sie auf einer Show ist?

What if he sees her backstage?

Was ist, wenn er sie hinter der Bühne sieht?

What if he selling lots?

Was ist, wenn er viel verkauft?

What if he's got a bigger car, got a better watch?

Was ist, wenn er ein größeres Auto hat, eine bessere Uhr?

That doesn't bother me, she really ain't material

Das stört mich nicht, sie ist wirklich nicht materialistisch

It's all the little things they do that put the fear in you

Es sind all die kleinen Dinge, die sie tun, die dir Angst machen

What if he actually replies?

Was ist, wenn er tatsächlich antwortet?

What if he phones her too?

Was ist, wenn er sie auch anruft?

What if he's doing all the things that I'm supposed to do?

Was ist, wenn er all die Dinge tut, die ich tun sollte?

What if he's listening, laughing, relating?

Was ist, wenn er zuhört, lacht, sich identifiziert?

What if he even cares to ask her how her day's been?

Was ist, wenn er sich sogar darum kümmert, sie zu fragen, wie ihr Tag war?

What if he's trying to give her everything she needs

Was ist, wenn er versucht, ihr alles zu geben, was sie braucht

And expects from the one damn person that she's dating?

Und von der einen verdammten Person erwartet, mit der sie zusammen ist?

I shoulda helped her follow her dream

Ich hätte ihr helfen sollen, ihren Traum zu verfolgen

But instead I held her back and had her following me

Aber stattdessen hielt ich sie zurück und ließ sie mir folgen

And boys got a brave face so they'll never know

Und Jungs haben ein tapferes Gesicht, also werden sie es nie wissen

That it hurts just as much when you let them go

Dass es genauso weh tut, wenn du sie gehen lässt.

Come

I met my girl when I was 18 years old

Ho conosciuto la mia ragazza quando avevo 18 anni

And she was just turning 23

E lei stava per compiere 23

I really love her from my heart

La amo davvero dal profondo del mio cuore

And even though I don't deserve it fam I hope she loves me

E anche se non lo merito fam, spero che mi ami

So I just done this private show I'm doing Footlocker promo

Quindi ho appena fatto questo spettacolo privato, sto facendo la promozione di Footlocker

And judging from the postcode it was Shoreditch or Soho

E a giudicare dal codice postale era Shoreditch o Soho

Did 6 or 7 tracks, made 6 or 7 racks

Ho fatto 6 o 7 tracce, ho guadagnato 6 o 7 mille

A couple days later on twitter I saw this photo of myself and I was grinning

Un paio di giorni dopo su Twitter ho visto questa foto di me e stavo sorridendo

That 4K camera of quality had got me tripping

Quella telecamera 4K di qualità mi aveva fatto impazzire

So I'm checking out who did it

Quindi sto cercando di capire chi l'ha fatto

When I stumbled on this girl

Quando mi sono imbattuto in questa ragazza

And I could tell that she was different

E ho capito che era diversa

A couple hours later now I'm liking all her pictures

Un paio d'ore dopo ora sto mettendo mi piace a tutte le sue foto

I ain't finished

Non ho finito

I typed her twitter name into my Insta so I could check on every single little digit

Ho digitato il suo nome su Twitter nel mio Insta così potevo controllare ogni singolo piccolo dettaglio

Why didn't I just message her?

Perché non le ho semplicemente mandato un messaggio?

Trust me I was thinking, but I'm a self-centred rapper too concerned about my image

Credimi ci stavo pensando, ma sono un rapper egoista troppo preoccupato per la mia immagine

The truth

La verità

So when she hit me first I'm pretty shocked I didn't burst

Quindi quando mi ha scritto per prima sono rimasto piuttosto sorpreso di non essere scoppiato

I'm calling Josh, Jack and Juss who am I ringing first?

Sto chiamando Josh, Jack e Juss, chi sto chiamando per primo?

Man I was so excited

Ero così emozionato

That I replied a minute later that's that bro I think that you just let her know excited

Che ho risposto un minuto dopo, è così fratello, penso che tu le abbia appena fatto capire quanto ero emozionato

Too excited, no clue on what I should do excited

Troppo emozionato, non ho idea di cosa dovrei fare emozionato

So I'm just typing, rambling like a fool, excited

Quindi sto solo digitando, delirando come un pazzo, emozionato

Look

Guarda

Look

Guarda

And we were talking for hours over some minor things

E abbiamo parlato per ore di alcune piccole cose

Ignoring everyone else to her I'm replying quick

Ignorando tutti gli altri per risponderle in fretta

This type of chick she got a spark like you were lighting spliffs

Questo tipo di ragazza ha una scintilla come se stessi accendendo spinelli

You know you like her when you're thinking about your words

Sai che ti piace quando stai pensando alle tue parole

She got me typing, deleting my messages then re-writing

Mi ha fatto digitare, cancellare i miei messaggi e poi riscriverli

In the hope that there's a smile when she's replying

Nella speranza che ci sia un sorriso quando risponde

The highlight of my day, them phone calls in the night, it's the little things

Il momento clou della mia giornata, quelle telefonate notturne, sono le piccole cose

The girl, she had a vibe and I liked it and

La ragazza, aveva un'energia che mi piaceva e

She's into photography and she's got a passion for it

Le piace la fotografia e ha una passione per essa

And she respects that I'm rapping but she ain't catting for it

E rispetta il fatto che io faccia rap, ma non è ossessionata da esso

See that's the perfect balance

Vedi, è l'equilibrio perfetto

There's nothing better than a girl with talent

Non c'è niente di meglio di una ragazza con talento

Drive, ambition, all of them things above

Determinazione, ambizione, tutte queste cose sopra

She's showing an abundance

Lei ne mostra in abbondanza

I ain't even met her yet

Non l'ho ancora incontrata

She works around the corner but lives just outside of London

Lavora dietro l'angolo ma vive appena fuori Londra

I ain't fronting, I'm a sweet boy

Non sto fingendo, sono un bravo ragazzo

Intentions are in question so my compliments are decoys

Le intenzioni sono in discussione quindi i miei complimenti sono esche

If that even makes sense?

Se ha senso?

The first time I met her, I'm surrounded by my friends

La prima volta che l'ho incontrata, ero circondato dai miei amici

Random ends on some staircase

In qualche posto a caso su una scala

So much for a first date

Tanto per un primo appuntamento

I just had a show

Ho appena fatto uno spettacolo

And I asked if she could meet me after

E le ho chiesto se poteva incontrarmi dopo

Maybe we could chill, you never know where things could go

Forse potremmo rilassarci, non si sa mai dove potrebbero andare le cose

No problem she down to roll

Nessun problema, è pronta a venire

Travelled in the cold

Ha viaggiato nel freddo

So I went across the road, grey hoodie under a coat

Quindi sono andato dall'altra parte della strada, felpa grigia sotto un cappotto

If I'm remembering correctly

Se ricordo bene

It's always kind of weird when the person that you were texting

È sempre un po' strano quando la persona con cui stavi mandando messaggi

Is the person you are obsessed with

È la persona di cui sei ossessionato

I was on her from the jump

Ero su di lei fin dall'inizio

I think she was wearing pumps or Vans when I first met her, no, it's either either one

Penso che indossasse delle décolleté o delle Vans quando l'ho incontrata per la prima volta, no, è una delle due

She was looking so attractive I barely saw skin 'cause she was covered like a mattress

Era così attraente che ho visto a malapena la sua pelle perché era coperta come un materasso

Man, I think that she's the one

Cavolo, penso che sia lei quella giusta

I was stuck for twenty seconds tryna to give the girl a hug

Sono rimasto bloccato per venti secondi cercando di darle un abbraccio

And all my friends are drunk so fuck it, I'm about to kiss her

E tutti i miei amici sono ubriachi quindi che cavolo, sto per baciarla

Any complications, I'm blaming it on the liquor

Qualsiasi complicazione, la incolperò sull'alcool

Changing my name on Twitter and blocking her on my Insta

Cambiando il mio nome su Twitter e bloccandola sul mio Insta

I saw her skin blush the moment that our lips touched

Ho visto la sua pelle arrossire nel momento in cui le nostre labbra si sono toccate

She pulled my bottom lip until it stretched

Mi ha tirato il labbro inferiore fino a che si è allungato

Kissed me on my cheek until she reached around my neck

Mi ha baciato sulla guancia fino a raggiungere il mio collo

And had me moaning like a bitch

E mi ha fatto gemere come una femmina

Even though I'm wearing jeans, I had to re-arrange my dick so she don't see that I'm erect

Anche se indosso jeans, ho dovuto riorganizzare il mio membro così non vede che sono eccitato

It's the first time we met, got me feeling like a creep

È la prima volta che ci incontriamo, mi fa sentire come un maniaco

And that strawberry flavour gave her tongue a kinda sweet little taste

E quel sapore di fragola le ha dato alla lingua un dolce sapore

And we could speak about anything we were friends first

E potevamo parlare di qualsiasi cosa, eravamo prima amici

I dropped her to the station I remember

L'ho accompagnata alla stazione, me lo ricordo

'Cause we had a conversation for ages about our dreams

Perché abbiamo avuto una conversazione per ore sui nostri sogni

And the things that we hadn't seen and all that we intended to do

E le cose che non avevamo visto e tutto quello che intendevamo fare

I bet she's hoping my intentions are true

Scommetto che spera che le mie intenzioni siano vere

And as months went by we both got into it, and intimate

E con il passare dei mesi ci siamo entrambi coinvolti, e intimi

And I'ma spare you the details 'cause both of our parents are probably listening

E vi risparmio i dettagli perché probabilmente i nostri genitori stanno ascoltando

But really we were into it

Ma davvero eravamo coinvolti

Into us, into this

In noi, in questo

Into everything about each other we were lovers and I love her

In tutto ciò che riguarda l'altro, eravamo amanti e la amo

'Cause she knows me and that's probably why she told me you ain't ready for a girl

Perché mi conosce ed è probabilmente per questo che mi ha detto che non sei pronto per una ragazza

You're still a little kid that's getting ready for the world and you don't need that kinda burden

Sei ancora un ragazzino che si sta preparando per il mondo e non hai bisogno di quel tipo di fardello

But I told her that I want it

Ma le ho detto che lo voglio

And I'm just being honest, yes I know that girls exist but I don't see them as a problem

E sto solo essendo onesto, sì so che esistono ragazze ma non le vedo come un problema

I meant every single word

Ho detto ogni singola parola

And I ain't gonna lie and say DM's have been absurd but out of every single girl

E non sto per mentire e dire che i DM sono stati assurdi ma tra tutte le ragazze

This is the weirdest of positions

Questa è la posizione più strana

It's usually the girl that's asking where I see her fitting or a place on her position

Di solito è la ragazza che chiede dove mi vede o un posto nella sua posizione

But I'm telling her I need it

Ma le sto dicendo che ne ho bisogno

And I don't think she sees it, so I'm being even sweeter when we're speaking and we're meeting

E non penso che lo veda, quindi sto essendo ancora più dolce quando parliamo e ci incontriamo

I've got affectionate messages, you could read them

Ho dei messaggi affettuosi, potresti leggerli

You gotta tell a girl that she's beautiful 'til she sees it

Devi dire a una ragazza che è bella finché non lo vede

Believes it, understands it more than physically

Lo crede, lo capisce più che fisicamente

Mentally, and the way that I'm feeling

Mentalmente, e il modo in cui mi sento

I could talk 10 years about the moment that we shared

Potrei parlare 10 anni del momento che abbiamo condiviso

The jokes that we had running

Gli scherzi che abbiamo fatto

The places that we've been

I posti in cui siamo stati

The music we made together producing next to my bed

La musica che abbiamo fatto insieme producendo accanto al mio letto

Then making my minor changes in reference to what she said

Poi facendo le mie piccole modifiche in riferimento a quello che ha detto

I think I start to getting tired, my schedule's a mess

Penso di iniziare a stancarmi, il mio programma è un disastro

Replies are gettin' lazy and my lady knows it's crazy

Le risposte stanno diventando pigre e la mia ragazza sa che è pazzo

But she's there if I'm in need

Ma lei è lì se ho bisogno

While I'm at shows getting tempted by girls that are on their knees

Mentre sono ai concerti tentato da ragazze che sono in ginocchio

You know I'm only a teen, it's like my eyes started drifting

Sai che sono solo un adolescente, è come se i miei occhi avessero iniziato a vagare

Not as easy as I pictured to give your all to a woman

Non è facile come immaginavo dare tutto a una donna

Ignoring all this attention that's been getting to my head

Ignorando tutta questa attenzione che mi sta montando alla testa

The sex is so accessible, one message or text and girls will get in your bed

Il sesso è così accessibile, un messaggio o un testo e le ragazze finiranno nel tuo letto

She's tryna make it happen with photos and her events

Lei sta cercando di farlo accadere con foto e i suoi eventi

I mentioned it's her passion, photography is her thing

Ho menzionato che è la sua passione, la fotografia è la sua cosa

And I don't know if it's the pressure

E non so se è la pressione

Where paper meets the passion and the pleasure

Dove la carta incontra la passione e il piacere

We all gotta work to survive

Dobbiamo tutti lavorare per sopravvivere

So now she's popping up at shows

Quindi ora si fa vedere agli spettacoli

Taking pictures on her own

Scattando foto da sola

And at first it wasn't cool

E all'inizio non era cool

But fuck it we let it go

Ma cazzo, l'abbiamo lasciato andare

Until I saw her in some rapper's tracksuit, I felt a way

Fino a quando l'ho vista in tuta di qualche rapper, mi sono sentito a disagio

She told me it was work and she was in some studio

Mi ha detto che era lavoro e che era in qualche studio

Taking pictures and I just sighed

Scattando foto e io ho solo sospirato

Some halfway wannabe rappers that fed her lies

Alcuni rapper wannabe che le hanno raccontato bugie

They ain't looking for no picture

Non stanno cercando una foto

I know it's your profession

So che è la tua professione

But read their intentions

Ma leggi le loro intenzioni

They ain't paying male photographers to shoot that same session

Non stanno pagando fotografi maschi per scattare quella stessa sessione

And that felt so disrespectful, standing on our dreams

E ciò sembrava così irrispettoso, calpestando i nostri sogni

And crushing 'em, I just told her it's nothing do what you need to do

E schiacciandoli, le ho solo detto che non è niente, fai quello che devi fare

If I ain't feeding you

Se non ti sto nutrendo

Then my opinion's all I'm giving when I speak to you

Allora la mia opinione è tutto quello che do quando ti parlo

'Cause I don't have the right

Perché non ho il diritto

Why should girls be punished for a male's dirty mind?

Perché le ragazze dovrebbero essere punite per la mente sporca di un uomo?

When I think about it now, I'm ashamed to the core

Quando ci penso ora, mi vergogno fino al midollo

I mean how many men stop their women from

Voglio dire, quanti uomini impediscono alle loro donne di

Achieving what they can because in secret they've been feeling insecure

Raggiungere ciò che possono perché in segreto si sentono insicuri

And I can't handle my emotions, it's probably why I didn't see her

E non riesco a gestire le mie emozioni, probabilmente è per questo che non l'ho vista

Talent when I shoulda been supporting and promoting

Talento quando avrei dovuto sostenere e promuovere

Like I didn't have a platform, a voice and a following

Come se non avessi una piattaforma, una voce e un seguito

With everyone I knew, I really coulda do a lot of things to help chase her dream

Con tutti quelli che conoscevo, avrei potuto fare molte cose per aiutare a inseguire il suo sogno

But instead of me to grow into the person that she needs

Ma invece di crescere nella persona di cui ha bisogno

I acted like I couldn't see

Ho agito come se non potessi vedere

And I don't mean to say this like I don't trust the girl

E non voglio dire questo come se non mi fidassi della ragazza

But how can I trust her if I don't trust myself?

Ma come posso fidarmi di lei se non mi fido di me stesso?

And even girls can get tempted you know how it goes

E anche le ragazze possono essere tentate, sai come va

What if she meets a bigger rapper when she's at a show?

E se incontra un rapper più famoso quando è a uno spettacolo?

What if he sees her backstage?

E se la vede dietro le quinte?

What if he selling lots?

E se vende un sacco?

What if he's got a bigger car, got a better watch?

E se ha un'auto più grande, ha un orologio migliore?

That doesn't bother me, she really ain't material

Non mi dà fastidio, lei non è affatto materialista

It's all the little things they do that put the fear in you

Sono tutte le piccole cose che fanno che mettono la paura in te

What if he actually replies?

E se lui risponde davvero?

What if he phones her too?

E se la chiama anche lui?

What if he's doing all the things that I'm supposed to do?

E se sta facendo tutte le cose che dovrei fare io?

What if he's listening, laughing, relating?

E se sta ascoltando, ridendo, relazionandosi?

What if he even cares to ask her how her day's been?

E se si preoccupa anche di chiederle come è stata la sua giornata?

What if he's trying to give her everything she needs

E se sta cercando di darle tutto ciò di cui ha bisogno

And expects from the one damn person that she's dating?

E si aspetta dalla maledetta persona con cui sta uscendo?

I shoulda helped her follow her dream

Avrei dovuto aiutarla a seguire il suo sogno

But instead I held her back and had her following me

Ma invece l'ho trattenuta e l'ho fatta seguirmi

And boys got a brave face so they'll never know

E i ragazzi hanno una faccia coraggiosa quindi non lo sapranno mai

That it hurts just as much when you let them go

Che fa male tanto quanto quando li lasci andare
