Here to stay
Even when I'm gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die

I can hear the drummer drumming
And the trumpets, someone's tryna summon someone, I know something's coming
But I'm running from it to be standing at the summit
And plummet, how come it wasn't what I thought it was, was it
Too good to be true?
Have nothing, get it all but too much of it then lose it again
Did I swallow hallucinogens, 'cause if not, where the hell did it go?
'Cause here I sit in Lucifer's den by the dutch oven just choosing to sin
Even if it means I'm selling my soul, just to be the undisputed again
Do whatever I gotta do just to win
'Cause I got this motherfucking cloud over my head
Crown around it, thorns on it
Cracks in it, bet you morons didn't
Think I'd be back, did ya?
How 'bout that I'm somehow now back to the underdog
But no matter how loud that I bark, this sport is something I never bow-wow'd at
I complain about the game, I shout and I pout, it's a love-hate
But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt
Even when you bitches are counting me out, and I appear to be down for the count
Only time I ever been out and about is
Driving around town with my fucking whereabouts in a doubt
'Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here but I'm not a quitter
Gotta get up, give it all I got or give up
Spit on, shit on, stepped on, but kept going I'm tryna be headstrong
But it feels like I slept on my neck wrong
'Cause you're moving onto the next, but is the respect gone?
'Cause someone told me that
(Kings never die)
Don't give me that sob story liar, don't preach to the choir
You ain't never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep
Nobody ever handed me shit in life, not even a flyer
Wouldn't even take shit into consideration
Obliterate anyone in the way
I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features and try to
Show out on a track with me but it'd actually
Have to be a fucking blowout to get me to retire
Tell these new artists that kings never die
I know shit has changed in this age, fuck a Twitter page
Did it just say I've been upstaged?
Why am I online? It's driving me crazy
I'm riding shotgun tryna get a gauge
On what's hot, but I'm not gonna' conform
But as days pass in this shit
And opinions sway, I can hear them say
If I stay passionate maybe I can stay Jay miraculous
Comeback as if I went away
But detractors just say (so much) for the Renegade
Someone's gonna make me blow my composure
Here I go again, center stage and I feel like I'm in a cage
(Some want a champion to fall I still wonder why I laugh at 'em
'Cause why care when I'm awesome?)
Fuck what these cynics say
(Just goes to show that when my back's against the wall
And I'm under attack again, that I'll act as if I'm posted up)
With this pent-up rage, 'cause all these plaques in my office
On the floor stacked against the door
Are they just metaphors for the odds of me comin' back again?
'Cause all the accomplishments, accolades, awards
And trophies just don't mean jack anymore
If I'm here today and gone tomorrow
And I'm not gonna be

Here to stay
Even when I'm gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die

I want it, I'm coming to get it
So you son of a bitches don't duck you're gonna get Riddick Bowe'd
Critics'll end up in critical
Think your shit is dope all you're gonna get is smoked then
And I ain't stopping 'till I'm on top again, all alone and on a throne
Like a token of respect, or a homage poem, or an ode I've been owed
Tossed in the air by my own arm, and launched so hard I broke my collarbone
(And when it's my time to go, I'm still not leaving)
Stop for no one, I don't know but I've been told an obstacle that
Blocks your road, knock it over, time to go for that pot of gold, 'cause

(They say kings never die
Just ask Jam Master Jay, they
Just grow wings and they fly, so
Hands up, reach for the sky
Try to hold up and prolong these moments
'Cause in a blink of an eye
They'll be over)

Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur and ensure
Nobody's ever gonna be what you were
So before you're leaving this Earth
You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral berserk
Deacon of words, syllable genius at work
Plus I'm thinking that they're mistaking my kindness for weakness
Kill 'em with meanness
I went from powdered milk and Farina
To flipping burgers on the grill for some peanuts
From Gilbert's to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas, still appeal to the dreamers
I made it to the silver screen where Rocky's still what the theme is
Khalil on the beat 'cause making the beat ain't the same
Feeling to me as killing the beat is
So fulfilling to me is what filling a seat is
That sound, vomit, thirst and how common underground commons eat
Outsider stomach growl, throbbing hunger
Out-rhyming everyone, God just give me one shot
I swear that I won't let you down
I'ma be around forever, entertain even in the ground
You ain't never ever gonna hear me say I ain't

Here to stay
Even when I'm gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die

Here to stay

Aqui para ficar

Even when I'm gone

Mesmo quando eu for

When I close my eyes

Quando eu fechar meus olhos

Through the passage of time

Através da passagem do tempo

Kings never die

Reis nunca morrem

I can hear the drummer drumming

Eu posso ouvir o baterista batendo

And the trumpets, someone's tryna summon someone, I know something's coming

E os trompetes, alguém está tentando convocar alguém, eu sei que algo está vindo

But I'm running from it to be standing at the summit

Mas estou fugindo disso para estar no topo

And plummet, how come it wasn't what I thought it was, was it

E despencar, por que não era o que eu pensava que era, era

Too good to be true?

Bom demais para ser verdade?

Have nothing, get it all but too much of it then lose it again

Não ter nada, conseguir tudo, mas muito disso e então perder de novo

Did I swallow hallucinogens, 'cause if not, where the hell did it go?

Eu engoli alucinógenos, porque se não, para onde diabos isso foi?

'Cause here I sit in Lucifer's den by the dutch oven just choosing to sin

Porque aqui estou eu na toca de Lúcifer pelo forno holandês apenas escolhendo pecar

Even if it means I'm selling my soul, just to be the undisputed again

Mesmo que isso signifique que estou vendendo minha alma, apenas para ser o indiscutível novamente

Do whatever I gotta do just to win

Farei o que for preciso apenas para vencer

'Cause I got this motherfucking cloud over my head

Porque eu tenho essa maldita nuvem sobre minha cabeça

Crown around it, thorns on it

Coroa em volta, espinhos nela

Cracks in it, bet you morons didn't

Rachaduras nela, aposto que vocês idiotas não

Think I'd be back, did ya?

Pensaram que eu voltaria, pensaram?

How 'bout that I'm somehow now back to the underdog

Que tal isso, de alguma forma agora estou de volta como o azarão

But no matter how loud that I bark, this sport is something I never bow-wow'd at

Mas não importa o quão alto eu latir, este esporte é algo que eu nunca me curvarei

I complain about the game, I shout and I pout, it's a love-hate

Eu reclamo sobre o jogo, eu grito e faço birra, é um amor-ódio

But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt

Mas descobri que posso mover uma montanha de dúvida

Even when you bitches are counting me out, and I appear to be down for the count

Mesmo quando vocês vadias estão me desconsiderando, e eu pareço estar fora de combate

Only time I ever been out and about is

A única vez que eu já estive por aí é

Driving around town with my fucking whereabouts in a doubt

Dirigindo pela cidade com minha maldita localização em dúvida

'Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here but I'm not a quitter

Porque eu estive perdido tentando pensar no que eu fiz para chegar aqui, mas eu não sou um desistente

Gotta get up, give it all I got or give up

Tenho que me levantar, dar tudo de mim ou desistir

Spit on, shit on, stepped on, but kept going I'm tryna be headstrong

Cuspido, cagado, pisado, mas continuei tentando ser forte

But it feels like I slept on my neck wrong

Mas parece que eu dormi de mau jeito no meu pescoço

'Cause you're moving onto the next, but is the respect gone?

Porque você está seguindo em frente, mas o respeito se foi?

'Cause someone told me that

Porque alguém me disse que

(Kings never die)

(Reis nunca morrem)

Don't give me that sob story liar, don't preach to the choir

Não me dê essa história triste mentirosa, não pregue para o coro

You ain't never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep

Você nunca sequer teve que alcançar o fogo para cavar fundo

Nobody ever handed me shit in life, not even a flyer

Ninguém nunca me deu nada na vida, nem mesmo um panfleto

Wouldn't even take shit into consideration

Nem sequer levaria merda em consideração

Obliterate anyone in the way

Obliterar qualquer um no caminho

I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features and try to

Acho que vejo por que muitos rappers entram nessas participações e tentam

Show out on a track with me but it'd actually

Se destacar em uma faixa comigo, mas na verdade

Have to be a fucking blowout to get me to retire

Teria que ser uma puta de uma surra para me fazer me aposentar

Tell these new artists that kings never die

Diga a esses novos artistas que reis nunca morrem

I know shit has changed in this age, fuck a Twitter page

Eu sei que as coisas mudaram nesta era, foda-se uma página no Twitter

Did it just say I've been upstaged?

Acabei de dizer que fui ofuscado?

Why am I online? It's driving me crazy

Por que estou online? Isso está me deixando louco

I'm riding shotgun tryna get a gauge

Estou no banco do passageiro tentando ter uma ideia

On what's hot, but I'm not gonna' conform

Do que está quente, mas eu não vou me conformar

But as days pass in this shit

Mas à medida que os dias passam nessa merda

And opinions sway, I can hear them say

E as opiniões oscilam, eu posso ouvi-los dizer

If I stay passionate maybe I can stay Jay miraculous

Se eu continuar apaixonado, talvez eu possa continuar Jay milagroso

Comeback as if I went away

Volte como se eu tivesse ido embora

But detractors just say (so much) for the Renegade

Mas os detratores apenas dizem (tanto) para o Renegado

Someone's gonna make me blow my composure

Alguém vai me fazer perder a compostura

Here I go again, center stage and I feel like I'm in a cage

Aqui vou eu de novo, centro do palco e sinto que estou em uma jaula

(Some want a champion to fall I still wonder why I laugh at 'em

(Alguns querem um campeão para cair, ainda me pergunto por que eu rio deles

'Cause why care when I'm awesome?)

Porque por que se importar quando eu sou incrível?)

Fuck what these cynics say

Foda-se o que esses cínicos dizem

(Just goes to show that when my back's against the wall

(Só mostra que quando minhas costas estão contra a parede

And I'm under attack again, that I'll act as if I'm posted up)

E estou sob ataque novamente, vou agir como se estivesse postado)

With this pent-up rage, 'cause all these plaques in my office

Com essa raiva reprimida, porque todas essas placas no meu escritório

On the floor stacked against the door

No chão empilhadas contra a porta

Are they just metaphors for the odds of me comin' back again?

Eles são apenas metáforas para as chances de eu voltar de novo?

'Cause all the accomplishments, accolades, awards

Porque todas as realizações, elogios, prêmios

And trophies just don't mean jack anymore

E troféus simplesmente não significam mais nada

If I'm here today and gone tomorrow

Se eu estou aqui hoje e desapareço amanhã

And I'm not gonna be

E eu não vou ser

Here to stay

Aqui para ficar

Even when I'm gone

Mesmo quando eu for

When I close my eyes

Quando eu fechar meus olhos

Through the passage of time

Através da passagem do tempo

Kings never die

Reis nunca morrem

I want it, I'm coming to get it

Eu quero, estou vindo para pegar

So you son of a bitches don't duck you're gonna get Riddick Bowe'd

Então vocês filhos da puta não se escondam, vocês vão levar um Riddick Bowe

Critics'll end up in critical

Críticos vão acabar em estado crítico

Think your shit is dope all you're gonna get is smoked then

Acham que sua merda é boa, tudo que vão conseguir é serem fumados então

And I ain't stopping 'till I'm on top again, all alone and on a throne

E eu não vou parar até estar no topo de novo, sozinho e em um trono

Like a token of respect, or a homage poem, or an ode I've been owed

Como um sinal de respeito, ou um poema de homenagem, ou uma ode que me devem

Tossed in the air by my own arm, and launched so hard I broke my collarbone

Jogado no ar pelo meu próprio braço, e lançado tão forte que quebrei minha clavícula

(And when it's my time to go, I'm still not leaving)

(E quando for a minha hora de ir, ainda não estou saindo)

Stop for no one, I don't know but I've been told an obstacle that

Parar por ninguém, eu não sei, mas me disseram que um obstáculo que

Blocks your road, knock it over, time to go for that pot of gold, 'cause

Bloqueia seu caminho, derrube-o, hora de ir para aquele pote de ouro, porque

(They say kings never die

(Dizem que reis nunca morrem

Just ask Jam Master Jay, they

Basta perguntar ao Jam Master Jay, eles

Just grow wings and they fly, so

Apenas crescem asas e voam, então

Hands up, reach for the sky

Mãos para cima, alcance o céu

Try to hold up and prolong these moments

Tente segurar e prolongar esses momentos

'Cause in a blink of an eye

Porque num piscar de olhos

They'll be over)

Eles acabarão)

Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur and ensure

Tentando garantir seu legado como Shakur e garantir

Nobody's ever gonna be what you were

Que ninguém nunca vai ser o que você foi

So before you're leaving this Earth

Então, antes de você deixar esta Terra

You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral berserk

Você quer que as pessoas sintam a fúria de um puro mal cerebral berserk

Deacon of words, syllable genius at work

Diácono das palavras, gênio das sílabas no trabalho

Plus I'm thinking that they're mistaking my kindness for weakness

Além disso, estou pensando que estão confundindo minha bondade com fraqueza

Kill 'em with meanness

Mate-os com maldade

I went from powdered milk and Farina

Eu fui de leite em pó e Farina

To flipping burgers on the grill for some peanuts

Para virar hambúrgueres na grelha por alguns amendoins

From Gilbert's to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas, still appeal to the dreamers

De Gilbert's para arenas, me chamem de Gilbert Arenas, ainda apelo para os sonhadores

I made it to the silver screen where Rocky's still what the theme is

Eu cheguei à tela de prata onde Rocky ainda é o que o tema é

Khalil on the beat 'cause making the beat ain't the same

Khalil na batida porque fazer a batida não é a mesma

Feeling to me as killing the beat is

Sensação para mim como matar a batida é

So fulfilling to me is what filling a seat is

Então, preencher para mim é o que preencher um assento é

That sound, vomit, thirst and how common underground commons eat

Esse som, vômito, sede e como comuns subterrâneos comuns comem

Outsider stomach growl, throbbing hunger

Rugido de estômago de forasteiro, fome pulsante

Out-rhyming everyone, God just give me one shot

Superando todos em rimas, Deus, apenas me dê uma chance

I swear that I won't let you down

Eu juro que não vou te decepcionar

I'ma be around forever, entertain even in the ground

Vou estar por aqui para sempre, entreter mesmo debaixo da terra

You ain't never ever gonna hear me say I ain't

Você nunca, nunca vai me ouvir dizer que eu não estou

Here to stay

Aqui para ficar

Even when I'm gone

Mesmo quando eu for

When I close my eyes

Quando eu fechar meus olhos

Through the passage of time

Através da passagem do tempo

Kings never die

Reis nunca morrem

Here to stay

Aquí para quedarme

Even when I'm gone

Incluso cuando me haya ido

When I close my eyes

Cuando cierro mis ojos

Through the passage of time

A través del paso del tiempo

Kings never die

Los reyes nunca mueren

I can hear the drummer drumming

Puedo oír al baterista tocando

And the trumpets, someone's tryna summon someone, I know something's coming

Y las trompetas, alguien está tratando de convocar a alguien, sé que algo viene

But I'm running from it to be standing at the summit

Pero estoy huyendo de ello para estar de pie en la cumbre

And plummet, how come it wasn't what I thought it was, was it

Y caer, ¿cómo es que no era lo que pensaba que era, era

Too good to be true?

¿Demasiado bueno para ser verdad?

Have nothing, get it all but too much of it then lose it again

No tener nada, conseguirlo todo pero demasiado de ello y luego perderlo de nuevo

Did I swallow hallucinogens, 'cause if not, where the hell did it go?

¿Tragué alucinógenos, porque si no, a dónde diablos se fue?

'Cause here I sit in Lucifer's den by the dutch oven just choosing to sin

Porque aquí me siento en la guarida de Lucifer junto al horno holandés eligiendo pecar

Even if it means I'm selling my soul, just to be the undisputed again

Incluso si eso significa que estoy vendiendo mi alma, solo para ser el indiscutible de nuevo

Do whatever I gotta do just to win

Hacer lo que sea necesario para ganar

'Cause I got this motherfucking cloud over my head

Porque tengo esta maldita nube sobre mi cabeza

Crown around it, thorns on it

Corona alrededor, espinas en ella

Cracks in it, bet you morons didn't

Grietas en ella, apuesto a que ustedes idiotas no

Think I'd be back, did ya?

¿Pensaron que volvería, verdad?

How 'bout that I'm somehow now back to the underdog

¿Qué tal eso? De alguna manera ahora estoy de vuelta como el perdedor

But no matter how loud that I bark, this sport is something I never bow-wow'd at

Pero no importa cuán fuerte ladre, este deporte es algo a lo que nunca me rendí

I complain about the game, I shout and I pout, it's a love-hate

Me quejo del juego, grito y hago pucheros, es un amor-odio

But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt

Pero descubrí que puedo mover una montaña de dudas

Even when you bitches are counting me out, and I appear to be down for the count

Incluso cuando ustedes perras me están descartando, y parezco estar fuera de combate

Only time I ever been out and about is

La única vez que he estado fuera y en movimiento es

Driving around town with my fucking whereabouts in a doubt

Conduciendo por la ciudad con mis malditos paraderos en duda

'Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here but I'm not a quitter

Porque he estado perdido tratando de pensar en lo que hice para llegar aquí pero no soy un quitter

Gotta get up, give it all I got or give up

Tengo que levantarme, dar todo lo que tengo o rendirme

Spit on, shit on, stepped on, but kept going I'm tryna be headstrong

Escupido, cagado, pisoteado, pero seguí adelante intentando ser fuerte

But it feels like I slept on my neck wrong

Pero se siente como si hubiera dormido mal en mi cuello

'Cause you're moving onto the next, but is the respect gone?

Porque te estás moviendo al siguiente, ¿pero se ha ido el respeto?

'Cause someone told me that

Porque alguien me dijo que

(Kings never die)

(Los reyes nunca mueren)

Don't give me that sob story liar, don't preach to the choir

No me des esa historia triste mentiroso, no prediques al coro

You ain't never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep

Nunca has tenido que meter la mano en el fuego para profundizar

Nobody ever handed me shit in life, not even a flyer

Nadie me ha dado nada en la vida, ni siquiera un folleto

Wouldn't even take shit into consideration

Ni siquiera tomaría mierda en consideración

Obliterate anyone in the way

Aniquilar a cualquiera en el camino

I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features and try to

Creo que veo por qué muchos raperos se meten en estas colaboraciones y tratan de

Show out on a track with me but it'd actually

Destacar en una pista conmigo pero en realidad

Have to be a fucking blowout to get me to retire

Tendría que ser un jodido desastre para que me retire

Sé que las cosas han cambiado en esta era, joder una página de Twitter

Did it just say I've been upstaged?

¿Acaba de decir que he sido eclipsado?

Why am I online? It's driving me crazy

¿Por qué estoy en línea? Me está volviendo loco

I'm riding shotgun tryna get a gauge

Estoy en el asiento del copiloto tratando de medir

On what's hot, but I'm not gonna' conform

Lo que está de moda, pero no voy a conformarme

But as days pass in this shit

Pero a medida que pasan los días en esta mierda

And opinions sway, I can hear them say

A la mierda lo que dicen estos cínicos

Mais je fuis pour être debout au sommet

And plummet, how come it wasn't what I thought it was, was it

Et plonger, comment se fait-il que ce n'était pas ce que je pensais que c'était, était-ce

Too good to be true?

Trop beau pour être vrai ?

Have nothing, get it all but too much of it then lose it again

N'avoir rien, tout obtenir mais trop puis le perdre à nouveau

Comment ça se fait que je suis maintenant de retour en tant que l'outsider

But no matter how loud that I bark, this sport is something I never bow-wow'd at

Mais peu importe combien j'aboie fort, ce sport est quelque chose que je n'ai jamais aboyé

I complain about the game, I shout and I pout, it's a love-hate

Je me plains du jeu, je crie et je boude, c'est un amour-haine

But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt

Mais j'ai découvert que je peux déplacer une montagne de doute

Even when you bitches are counting me out, and I appear to be down for the count

Même quand vous, les salopes, me comptez pour mort, et j'ai l'air d'être au tapis

Only time I ever been out and about is

La seule fois où j'ai été dehors et à propos c'est

Driving around town with my fucking whereabouts in a doubt

En conduisant en ville avec mes putains de repères en doute

'Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here but I'm not a quitter

Parce que j'ai été perdu en essayant de penser à ce que j'ai fait pour arriver ici mais je ne suis pas un abandonneur

Gotta get up, give it all I got or give up

Je dois me lever, donner tout ce que j'ai ou abandonner

Spit on, shit on, stepped on, but kept going I'm tryna be headstrong

Craché dessus, chié dessus, piétiné, mais j'ai continué à essayer d'être fort

But it feels like I slept on my neck wrong

Mais j'ai l'impression d'avoir mal dormi sur mon cou

'Cause you're moving onto the next, but is the respect gone?

Parce que tu passes à la suite, mais le respect est-il parti ?

'Cause someone told me that

Parce que quelqu'un m'a dit que

(Kings never die)

(Les rois ne meurent jamais)

Don't give me that sob story liar, don't preach to the choir

Ne me donne pas ce mensonge larmoyant, ne prêche pas à la chorale

You ain't never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep

Tu n'as même jamais eu à atteindre dans le feu pour creuser profondément

Nobody ever handed me shit in life, not even a flyer

Personne ne m'a jamais donné de la merde dans la vie, pas même un prospectus

Wouldn't even take shit into consideration

Je ne prendrais même pas de la merde en considération

Obliterate anyone in the way

J'annihile quiconque se met en travers de mon chemin

I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features and try to

Je pense que je vois pourquoi beaucoup de rappeurs se mettent sur ces morceaux et essaient de

Show out on a track with me but it'd actually

Se montrer sur une piste avec moi mais il faudrait en fait

Have to be a fucking blowout to get me to retire

Que ce soit une putain de déroute pour me faire prendre ma retraite

Tell these new artists that kings never die

Dites à ces nouveaux artistes que les rois ne meurent jamais

I know shit has changed in this age, fuck a Twitter page

Je sais que les choses ont changé à cette époque, fuck une page Twitter

Did it just say I've been upstaged?

Est-ce que ça vient de dire que j'ai été éclipsé ?

Why am I online? It's driving me crazy

Pourquoi suis-je en ligne ? Ça me rend fou

I'm riding shotgun tryna get a gauge

Je suis en voiture essayant de prendre la température

On what's hot, but I'm not gonna' conform

De ce qui est chaud, mais je ne vais pas me conformer

But as days pass in this shit

Mais au fur et à mesure que les jours passent dans cette merde

And opinions sway, I can hear them say

Et que les opinions vacillent, je peux les entendre dire

If I stay passionate maybe I can stay Jay miraculous

Si je reste passionné, peut-être que je peux rester Jay miraculeux

Comeback as if I went away

Revenir comme si j'étais parti

But detractors just say (so much) for the Renegade

Mais les détracteurs disent juste (tant pis) pour le Renégat

Someone's gonna make me blow my composure

Quelqu'un va me faire perdre mon sang-froid

Here I go again, center stage and I feel like I'm in a cage

Me voilà de nouveau, en plein centre de la scène et j'ai l'impression d'être dans une cage

(Some want a champion to fall I still wonder why I laugh at 'em

(Certains veulent qu'un champion tombe, je me demande toujours pourquoi je ris d'eux

'Cause why care when I'm awesome?)

Parce que pourquoi se soucier quand je suis génial ?)

Fuck what these cynics say

Fuck ce que disent ces cyniques

(Just goes to show that when my back's against the wall

(Cela montre juste que lorsque mon dos est contre le mur

And I'm under attack again, that I'll act as if I'm posted up)

Et que je suis à nouveau attaqué, je vais agir comme si j'étais posté)

With this pent-up rage, 'cause all these plaques in my office

Avec cette rage rentrée, car toutes ces plaques dans mon bureau

On the floor stacked against the door

Sur le sol empilées contre la porte

Are they just metaphors for the odds of me comin' back again?

Sont-elles juste des métaphores pour les chances que j'ai de revenir ?

'Cause all the accomplishments, accolades, awards

Car tous les accomplissements, les éloges, les récompenses

And trophies just don't mean jack anymore

Et les trophées ne signifient plus rien du tout

If I'm here today and gone tomorrow

Si je suis là aujourd'hui et parti demain

And I'm not gonna be

Et je ne vais pas être

Here to stay

Ici pour rester

Even when I'm gone

Même quand je serai parti

When I close my eyes

Quand je ferme les yeux

Je le veux, je viens le chercher

Alors vous, fils de putes, ne vous cachez pas, vous allez être frappés par Riddick Bowe

Critics'll end up in critical

Les critiques finiront en état critique

Think your shit is dope all you're gonna get is smoked then

Pensez que votre merde est dope, tout ce que vous allez obtenir, c'est d'être fumé

And I ain't stopping 'till I'm on top again, all alone and on a throne

Et je ne m'arrête pas jusqu'à ce que je sois à nouveau au sommet, tout seul et sur un trône

Like a token of respect, or a homage poem, or an ode I've been owed

Comme un gage de respect, ou un poème d'hommage, ou une ode que je dois

Tossed in the air by my own arm, and launched so hard I broke my collarbone

Lancé dans les airs par mon propre bras, et lancé si fort que j'ai cassé ma clavicule

(And when it's my time to go, I'm still not leaving)

(Et quand viendra mon heure de partir, je ne partirai toujours pas)

Stop for no one, I don't know but I've been told an obstacle that

Je ne m'arrête pour personne, je ne sais pas mais on m'a dit qu'un obstacle qui

Blocks your road, knock it over, time to go for that pot of gold, 'cause

Bloque votre route, renversez-le, il est temps d'aller chercher ce pot d'or, parce que

(They say kings never die

(Ils disent que les rois ne meurent jamais

Just ask Jam Master Jay, they

Demandez simplement à Jam Master Jay, ils

Just grow wings and they fly, so

Ils se contentent de faire pousser des ailes et de voler, alors

Hands up, reach for the sky

Levez les mains, atteignez le ciel

Try to hold up and prolong these moments

Essayez de retenir et de prolonger ces moments

'Cause in a blink of an eye

Parce qu'en un clin d'œil

They'll be over)

Ils seront terminés)

Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur and ensure

Essayant de sécuriser votre héritage comme Shakur et de garantir

Nobody's ever gonna be what you were

Personne ne sera jamais ce que vous étiez

So before you're leaving this Earth

Alors avant de quitter cette Terre

You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral berserk

Vous voulez que les gens ressentent la fureur d'un pur mal cérébral berserk

Deacon of words, syllable genius at work

Diacre des mots, génie des syllabes au travail

Plus I'm thinking that they're mistaking my kindness for weakness

De plus, je pense qu'ils confondent ma gentillesse avec de la faiblesse

Kill 'em with meanness

Tuez-les avec méchanceté

I went from powdered milk and Farina

Je suis passé du lait en poudre et de la Farina

To flipping burgers on the grill for some peanuts

À retourner des burgers sur le grill pour quelques cacahuètes

From Gilbert's to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas, still appeal to the dreamers

De Gilbert's aux arènes, appelez-moi Gilbert Arenas, toujours attrayant pour les rêveurs

I made it to the silver screen where Rocky's still what the theme is

J'ai réussi à atteindre le grand écran où Rocky est toujours le thème

Khalil on the beat 'cause making the beat ain't the same

Khalil sur le beat car faire le beat n'est pas la même

Feeling to me as killing the beat is

Sensation pour moi que de tuer le beat

So fulfilling to me is what filling a seat is

C'est tellement satisfaisant pour moi que de remplir un siège

That sound, vomit, thirst and how common underground commons eat

Ce son, vomissement, soif et comment les communs souterrains mangent

Outsider stomach growl, throbbing hunger

L'estomac de l'outsider gronde, faim palpitante

Out-rhyming everyone, God just give me one shot

Surpassant tout le monde en rimes, Dieu donne-moi juste une chance

I swear that I won't let you down

Je jure que je ne te laisserai pas tomber

I'ma be around forever, entertain even in the ground

Je serai là pour toujours, divertir même dans le sol

You ain't never ever gonna hear me say I ain't

Vous n'entendrez jamais, jamais, me dire que je ne suis pas

Here to stay

Ici pour rester

Even when I'm gone

Même quand je serai parti

When I close my eyes

Quand je ferme les yeux

Through the passage of time

À travers le passage du temps

Kings never die

Les rois ne meurent jamais

Here to stay

Hier um zu bleiben

Even when I'm gone

Auch wenn ich weg bin

When I close my eyes

Wenn ich meine Augen schließe

Through the passage of time

Durch den Lauf der Zeit

Kings never die

Könige sterben nie

I can hear the drummer drumming

Ich kann den Trommler trommeln hören

And the trumpets, someone's tryna summon someone, I know something's coming

Und die Trompeten, jemand versucht jemanden zu beschwören, ich weiß, dass etwas kommt

But I'm running from it to be standing at the summit

Aber ich renne davor weg, um auf dem Gipfel zu stehen

And plummet, how come it wasn't what I thought it was, was it

Und stürze ab, warum war es nicht das, was ich dachte, dass es war

Too good to be true?

Zu schön, um wahr zu sein?

Have nothing, get it all but too much of it then lose it again

Habe nichts, bekomme alles, aber zu viel davon und verliere es wieder

Did I swallow hallucinogens, 'cause if not, where the hell did it go?

Habe ich Halluzinogene geschluckt, denn wenn nicht, wo zum Teufel ist es hin?

'Cause here I sit in Lucifer's den by the dutch oven just choosing to sin

Denn hier sitze ich in Luzifers Höhle am holländischen Ofen und entscheide mich zu sündigen

Even if it means I'm selling my soul, just to be the undisputed again

Auch wenn es bedeutet, dass ich meine Seele verkaufe, nur um wieder unangefochten zu sein

Do whatever I gotta do just to win

Mache was immer ich tun muss, um zu gewinnen

'Cause I got this motherfucking cloud over my head

Denn ich habe diese verdammte Wolke über meinem Kopf

Crown around it, thorns on it

Krone drum herum, Dornen darauf

Cracks in it, bet you morons didn't

Risse darin, ihr Trottel habt wohl nicht gedacht

Think I'd be back, did ya?

Dass ich zurückkomme, oder?

How 'bout that I'm somehow now back to the underdog

Wie wäre es damit, dass ich irgendwie jetzt wieder der Underdog bin

But no matter how loud that I bark, this sport is something I never bow-wow'd at

Aber egal wie laut ich belle, dieser Sport ist etwas, vor dem ich nie zurückgeschreckt bin

I complain about the game, I shout and I pout, it's a love-hate

Ich beschwere mich über das Spiel, ich schreie und schmoll, es ist eine Hassliebe

But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt

Aber ich habe herausgefunden, dass ich einen Berg von Zweifeln versetzen kann

Even when you bitches are counting me out, and I appear to be down for the count

Auch wenn ihr Schlampen mich abschreibt, und es scheint, als wäre ich am Ende

Only time I ever been out and about is

Das einzige Mal, dass ich jemals draußen und unterwegs war, ist

Driving around town with my fucking whereabouts in a doubt

Wenn ich durch die Stadt fahre, ohne zu wissen, wo ich bin

'Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here but I'm not a quitter

Denn ich bin verloren und versuche herauszufinden, was ich getan habe, um hierher zu kommen, aber ich bin kein Aufgeber

Gotta get up, give it all I got or give up

Muss aufstehen, alles geben, was ich habe oder aufgeben

Spit on, shit on, stepped on, but kept going I'm tryna be headstrong

Anspucken, beschissen, getreten, aber weitergemacht, ich versuche stark zu sein

But it feels like I slept on my neck wrong

Aber es fühlt sich an, als hätte ich falsch auf meinem Hals geschlafen

'Cause you're moving onto the next, but is the respect gone?

Denn du ziehst weiter zum nächsten, aber ist der Respekt weg?

'Cause someone told me that

Denn jemand hat mir gesagt, dass

(Kings never die)

(Könige niemals sterben)

Don't give me that sob story liar, don't preach to the choir

Erzähl mir nicht diese traurige Lügengeschichte, predige nicht dem Chor

You ain't never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep

Du musstest noch nie ins Feuer greifen, um tief zu graben

Nobody ever handed me shit in life, not even a flyer

Niemand hat mir jemals etwas im Leben gegeben, nicht einmal einen Flyer

Wouldn't even take shit into consideration

Würde nicht einmal Scheiße in Betracht ziehen

Obliterate anyone in the way

Jeden auslöschen, der im Weg steht

I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features and try to

Ich glaube, ich sehe, warum viele Rapper auf diese Features kommen und versuchen

Show out on a track with me but it'd actually

Sich auf einem Track mit mir zu profilieren, aber es müsste tatsächlich

Have to be a fucking blowout to get me to retire

Ein verdammter Knockout sein, um mich in den Ruhestand zu schicken

Tell these new artists that kings never die

Sagt diesen neuen Künstlern, dass Könige niemals sterben

I know shit has changed in this age, fuck a Twitter page

Ich weiß, dass sich die Dinge in diesem Zeitalter geändert haben, scheiß auf eine Twitter-Seite

Did it just say I've been upstaged?

Hat es gerade gesagt, dass ich verdrängt wurde?

Why am I online? It's driving me crazy

Warum bin ich online? Es macht mich verrückt

I'm riding shotgun tryna get a gauge

Ich fahre auf dem Beifahrersitz und versuche ein Gefühl dafür zu bekommen

On what's hot, but I'm not gonna' conform

Was gerade angesagt ist, aber ich werde mich nicht anpassen

But as days pass in this shit

Aber während die Tage in diesem Scheiß vergehen

And opinions sway, I can hear them say

Und die Meinungen schwanken, kann ich sie sagen hören

If I stay passionate maybe I can stay Jay miraculous

Wenn ich leidenschaftlich bleibe, kann ich vielleicht Jay wunderbar bleiben

Comeback as if I went away

Comeback, als ob ich weggegangen wäre

But detractors just say (so much) for the Renegade

Aber die Kritiker sagen nur (so viel) für den Renegaten

Someone's gonna make me blow my composure

Jemand wird mich dazu bringen, meine Fassung zu verlieren

Here I go again, center stage and I feel like I'm in a cage

Hier gehe ich wieder, im Rampenlicht und ich fühle mich, als wäre ich in einem Käfig

(Some want a champion to fall I still wonder why I laugh at 'em

(Einige wollen, dass ein Champion fällt, ich frage mich immer noch, warum ich über sie lache

'Cause why care when I'm awesome?)

Denn warum sollte es mich kümmern, wenn ich großartig bin?)

Fuck what these cynics say

Scheiß auf das, was diese Zyniker sagen

(Just goes to show that when my back's against the wall

(Es zeigt nur, dass wenn mein Rücken gegen die Wand ist

And I'm under attack again, that I'll act as if I'm posted up)

Und ich wieder angegriffen werde, dass ich so handeln werde, als ob ich aufgestellt wäre)

With this pent-up rage, 'cause all these plaques in my office

Mit dieser angestauten Wut, denn all diese Plaketten in meinem Büro

On the floor stacked against the door

Auf dem Boden gestapelt gegen die Tür

Are they just metaphors for the odds of me comin' back again?

Sind sie nur Metaphern für die Chancen, dass ich wieder zurückkomme?

'Cause all the accomplishments, accolades, awards

Denn all die Errungenschaften, Auszeichnungen, Preise

And trophies just don't mean jack anymore

Und Trophäen bedeuten einfach nichts mehr

If I'm here today and gone tomorrow

Wenn ich heute hier bin und morgen weg

And I'm not gonna be

Und ich werde nicht sein

Here to stay

Hier um zu bleiben

Even when I'm gone

Auch wenn ich weg bin

When I close my eyes

Wenn ich meine Augen schließe

Through the passage of time

Durch den Lauf der Zeit

Kings never die

Könige sterben nie

I want it, I'm coming to get it

Ich will es, ich komme, um es zu holen

Critics'll end up in critical

Kritiker werden in kritischem Zustand enden

Think your shit is dope all you're gonna get is smoked then

Denkt ihr, eure Scheiße ist dope, alles was ihr bekommt ist dann geraucht

And I ain't stopping 'till I'm on top again, all alone and on a throne

Und ich höre nicht auf, bis ich wieder ganz oben bin, ganz allein und auf einem Thron

Like a token of respect, or a homage poem, or an ode I've been owed

Wie ein Zeichen des Respekts, oder ein Hommage Gedicht, oder eine Ode, die ich schuldig bin

Tossed in the air by my own arm, and launched so hard I broke my collarbone

In die Luft geworfen von meinem eigenen Arm, und so hart gestartet, dass ich meinen Schlüsselbein brach

(And when it's my time to go, I'm still not leaving)

(Und wenn es meine Zeit zu gehen ist, gehe ich immer noch nicht)

Stop for no one, I don't know but I've been told an obstacle that

Halte für niemanden an, ich weiß es nicht, aber mir wurde gesagt, ein Hindernis, das

Blocks your road, knock it over, time to go for that pot of gold, 'cause

Wachsen einfach Flügel und fliegen, also

Hands up, reach for the sky

Hände hoch, greift nach dem Himmel

Try to hold up and prolong these moments

Versucht, diese Momente aufzuhalten und zu verlängern

'Cause in a blink of an eye

Denn in einem Augenblick

They'll be over)

Werden sie vorbei sein)

Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur and ensure

Versuche, dein Vermächtnis wie Shakur zu sichern und sicherzustellen

Nobody's ever gonna be what you were

Niemand wird jemals das sein, was du warst

So before you're leaving this Earth

Also bevor du diese Erde verlässt

You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral berserk

Du willst, dass die Leute die Wut eines rein bösen, zerebralen Berserkers spüren

Deacon of words, syllable genius at work

Außerdem denke ich, dass sie meine Freundlichkeit für Schwäche halten

Kill 'em with meanness

Töte sie mit Gemeinheit

I went from powdered milk and Farina

Ich bin von Milchpulver und Farina umgestiegen

To flipping burgers on the grill for some peanuts

Zum Burger braten auf dem Grill für ein paar Erdnüsse

From Gilbert's to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas, still appeal to the dreamers

Von Gilbert's zu Arenen, nennt mich Gilbert Arenas, immer noch attraktiv für die Träumer

I made it to the silver screen where Rocky's still what the theme is

Ich habe es auf die Leinwand geschafft, wo Rocky immer noch das Thema ist

Khalil on the beat 'cause making the beat ain't the same

Khalil am Beat, denn den Beat zu machen ist nicht dasselbe

Feeling to me as killing the beat is

Gefühl für mich wie den Beat zu töten

So fulfilling to me is what filling a seat is

So erfüllend für mich ist, was einen Sitzplatz füllt

That sound, vomit, thirst and how common underground commons eat

Dieser Klang, Erbrechen, Durst und wie gewöhnliche Untergrundbewohner essen

Outsider stomach growl, throbbing hunger

Außenseiter Magenknurren, pochender Hunger

Out-rhyming everyone, God just give me one shot

Jeden ausreimen, Gott gib mir nur eine Chance

Auch wenn ich weg bin

When I close my eyes

Wenn ich meine Augen schließe

Through the passage of time

Durch den Lauf der Zeit

Kings never die

Könige sterben nie

Here to stay

Qui per restare

Even when I'm gone

Anche quando me ne sarò andato

When I close my eyes

Quando chiudo gli occhi

Through the passage of time

Attraverso il passaggio del tempo

Kings never die

I re non muoiono mai

I can hear the drummer drumming

Posso sentire il batterista battere

And the trumpets, someone's tryna summon someone, I know something's coming

E le trombe, qualcuno sta cercando di evocare qualcuno, so che sta arrivando qualcosa

But I'm running from it to be standing at the summit

Ma sto scappando da esso per stare in piedi sulla cima

And plummet, how come it wasn't what I thought it was, was it

E precipitare, come mai non era quello che pensavo fosse, era

Too good to be true?

Troppo bello per essere vero?

Have nothing, get it all but too much of it then lose it again

Non avere nulla, ottenerlo tutto ma troppo di esso poi perderlo di nuovo

Did I swallow hallucinogens, 'cause if not, where the hell did it go?

Ho ingoiato allucinogeni, perché se no, dove diavolo è andato?

'Cause here I sit in Lucifer's den by the dutch oven just choosing to sin

Perché qui siedo nella tana di Lucifero vicino al forno olandese scegliendo di peccare

Even if it means I'm selling my soul, just to be the undisputed again

Anche se significa vendere la mia anima, solo per essere l'indiscusso di nuovo

Do whatever I gotta do just to win

Farei qualsiasi cosa per vincere

'Cause I got this motherfucking cloud over my head

Perché ho questa nuvola maledetta sopra la mia testa

Crown around it, thorns on it

Corona intorno, spine su di essa

Cracks in it, bet you morons didn't

Crepe in essa, scommetto che voi idioti non

Think I'd be back, did ya?

Pensavate che sarei tornato, vero?

How 'bout that I'm somehow now back to the underdog

Che ne dite che sono in qualche modo tornato ad essere il sottocane

But no matter how loud that I bark, this sport is something I never bow-wow'd at

Ma non importa quanto forte abbaio, questo sport è qualcosa a cui non ho mai abbaiato

I complain about the game, I shout and I pout, it's a love-hate

Mi lamento del gioco, urlo e faccio il broncio, è un amore-odio

But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt

Ma ho scoperto che posso spostare una montagna di dubbi

Even when you bitches are counting me out, and I appear to be down for the count

Anche quando voi stronze mi state dando per spacciato, e sembro essere al tappeto

Only time I ever been out and about is

L'unico momento in cui sono stato fuori e in giro è

Driving around town with my fucking whereabouts in a doubt

Guidando in giro per la città con i miei maledetti dubbi

'Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here but I'm not a quitter

Perché sono stato perso cercando di pensare a cosa ho fatto per arrivare qui ma non sono un perdente

Gotta get up, give it all I got or give up

Devo alzarmi, dare tutto quello che ho o arrendermi

Spit on, shit on, stepped on, but kept going I'm tryna be headstrong

Sputato, cagato, calpestato, ma ho continuato a cercare di essere forte

But it feels like I slept on my neck wrong

Ma sembra che abbia dormito male sul collo

'Cause you're moving onto the next, but is the respect gone?

Perché stai passando al prossimo, ma il rispetto è andato?

'Cause someone told me that

Perché qualcuno mi ha detto che

(Kings never die)

Don't give me that sob story liar, don't preach to the choir

Non raccontarmi quella storia triste bugiardo, non predicare al coro

You ain't never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep

Non hai mai nemmeno dovuto raggiungere il fuoco per scavare in profondità

Nobody ever handed me shit in life, not even a flyer

Nessuno mi ha mai dato nulla nella vita, nemmeno un volantino

Wouldn't even take shit into consideration

Non prenderei nemmeno in considerazione la merda

Obliterate anyone in the way

Obliterare chiunque si metta in mezzo

I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features and try to

Penso di capire perché molti rapper si mettono su queste caratteristiche e cercano di

Show out on a track with me but it'd actually

Mostrarsi su una traccia con me ma in realtà

Have to be a fucking blowout to get me to retire

Dovrebbe essere un cazzo di trionfo per farmi ritirare

Tell these new artists that kings never die

Dite a questi nuovi artisti che i re non muoiono mai

I know shit has changed in this age, fuck a Twitter page

So che le cose sono cambiate in questa epoca, fottiti una pagina Twitter

Did it just say I've been upstaged?

Ha appena detto che sono stato soppiantato?

Why am I online? It's driving me crazy

Perché sono online? Mi sta facendo impazzire

I'm riding shotgun tryna get a gauge

Sto guidando in tirocinio cercando di capire

Ritorno come se me ne fossi andato

But detractors just say (so much) for the Renegade

Ma i detrattori dicono solo (tanto) per il Renegade

Someone's gonna make me blow my composure

Qualcuno mi farà perdere la mia compostezza

Here I go again, center stage and I feel like I'm in a cage

Eccomi di nuovo, al centro del palco e mi sento come se fossi in una gabbia

(Some want a champion to fall I still wonder why I laugh at 'em

(Alcuni vogliono che un campione cada mi chiedo ancora perché rido di loro

'Cause why care when I'm awesome?)

Perché preoccuparsi quando sono fantastico?)

Fuck what these cynics say

Fottiti quello che dicono questi cinici

(Just goes to show that when my back's against the wall

(Basta dimostrare che quando ho le spalle al muro

And I'm under attack again, that I'll act as if I'm posted up)

E sono di nuovo sotto attacco, agirò come se fossi appostato)

With this pent-up rage, 'cause all these plaques in my office

Con questa rabbia repressa, perché tutte queste targhe nel mio ufficio

On the floor stacked against the door

Sul pavimento accatastate contro la porta

Are they just metaphors for the odds of me comin' back again?

Sono solo metafore per le possibilità che io torni di nuovo?

'Cause all the accomplishments, accolades, awards

Perché tutti i successi, i riconoscimenti, i premi

And trophies just don't mean jack anymore

E i trofei non significano più un cazzo

If I'm here today and gone tomorrow

Se sono qui oggi e sparito domani

And I'm not gonna be

Critics'll end up in critical

I critici finiranno in condizioni critiche

Think your shit is dope all you're gonna get is smoked then

Pensate che la vostra roba sia fantastica, tutto quello che otterrete sarà fumato

And I ain't stopping 'till I'm on top again, all alone and on a throne

E non mi fermerò finché non sarò di nuovo in cima, tutto solo e su un trono

Like a token of respect, or a homage poem, or an ode I've been owed

Come un segno di rispetto, o un poema omaggio, o un'ode che mi è dovuta

Tossed in the air by my own arm, and launched so hard I broke my collarbone

Lanciato in aria dal mio stesso braccio, e lanciato così forte che mi sono rotto la clavicola

Perché in un batter d'occhio

They'll be over)

Saranno finiti)

Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur and ensure

Cercando di assicurare il tuo retaggio come Shakur e garantire

Nobody's ever gonna be what you were

Che nessuno sarà mai quello che eri

So before you're leaving this Earth

Quindi prima di lasciare questa Terra

You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral berserk

Vuoi che la gente senta la furia di un puro male cerebrale berserk

Deacon of words, syllable genius at work

Diacono delle parole, genio delle sillabe al lavoro

Plus I'm thinking that they're mistaking my kindness for weakness

Inoltre penso che stiano scambiando la mia gentilezza per debolezza

Kill 'em with meanness

Uccidili con cattiveria

I went from powdered milk and Farina

Sono passato dal latte in polvere e Farina

To flipping burgers on the grill for some peanuts

A girare hamburger sulla griglia per qualche nocciolina

From Gilbert's to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas, still appeal to the dreamers

Da Gilbert's ad arene, chiamami Gilbert Arenas, ancora appello ai sognatori

I made it to the silver screen where Rocky's still what the theme is

Sono arrivato al grande schermo dove Rocky è ancora il tema

Khalil on the beat 'cause making the beat ain't the same

Khalil sul beat perché fare il beat non è la stessa

Feeling to me as killing the beat is

Sensazione per me come uccidere il beat

So fulfilling to me is what filling a seat is

Quindi riempire un posto per me è così gratificante

That sound, vomit, thirst and how common underground commons eat

Quel suono, vomito, sete e come i comuni sotterranei comuni mangiano

Outsider stomach growl, throbbing hunger

Fuori lo stomaco ruggisce, fame pulsante

Out-rhyming everyone, God just give me one shot

Superando tutti in rima, Dio dammi solo un colpo

I swear that I won't let you down

Giuro che non ti deluderò

I'ma be around forever, entertain even in the ground

Sarò qui per sempre, divertirò anche sotto terra

You ain't never ever gonna hear me say I ain't

Non mi sentirai mai dire che non sono

Here to stay

Qui per restare

Even when I'm gone

Anche quando me ne sarò andato

When I close my eyes

Quando chiudo gli occhi

Through the passage of time

Attraverso il passaggio del tempo

Kings never die

I re non muoiono mai

Here to stay

Di sini untuk tinggal

Even when I'm gone

Bahkan ketika aku pergi

When I close my eyes

Ketika aku menutup mataku

Through the passage of time

Melalui perjalanan waktu

Kings never die

Raja tidak pernah mati

I can hear the drummer drumming

Aku bisa mendengar drummer bermain drum

And the trumpets, someone's tryna summon someone, I know something's coming

Dan terompet, seseorang mencoba memanggil seseorang, aku tahu ada yang datang

But I'm running from it to be standing at the summit

Tapi aku lari darinya untuk berdiri di puncak

And plummet, how come it wasn't what I thought it was, was it

Dan jatuh, kenapa itu bukan apa yang kupikirkan, apakah itu

Too good to be true?

Terlalu bagus untuk menjadi kenyataan?

Have nothing, get it all but too much of it then lose it again

Tidak memiliki apa-apa, mendapatkan semuanya tapi terlalu banyak lalu kehilangannya lagi

Did I swallow hallucinogens, 'cause if not, where the hell did it go?

Apakah aku menelan halusinogen, karena jika tidak, kemana itu pergi?

'Cause here I sit in Lucifer's den by the dutch oven just choosing to sin

Karena di sini aku duduk di gua Lucifer dengan oven Belanda hanya memilih untuk berdosa

Even if it means I'm selling my soul, just to be the undisputed again

Bahkan jika itu berarti aku menjual jiwaku, hanya untuk menjadi yang tak terbantahkan lagi

Do whatever I gotta do just to win

Lakukan apa pun yang harus aku lakukan hanya untuk menang

'Cause I got this motherfucking cloud over my head

Karena aku punya awan sial ini di atas kepalaku

Crown around it, thorns on it

Mahkota di sekelilingnya, duri di atasnya

Cracks in it, bet you morons didn't

Retak di dalamnya, kalian idiot pasti tidak

Think I'd be back, did ya?

Pikir aku akan kembali, bukan?

How 'bout that I'm somehow now back to the underdog

Bagaimana kalau sekarang aku kembali menjadi underdog

But no matter how loud that I bark, this sport is something I never bow-wow'd at

Tapi tidak peduli seberapa keras aku menggonggong, olahraga ini adalah sesuatu yang tidak pernah kubow-wow

I complain about the game, I shout and I pout, it's a love-hate

Aku mengeluh tentang permainan, aku berteriak dan merengek, ini cinta-benci

But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt

Tapi aku menemukan bahwa aku bisa memindahkan gunung keraguan

Even when you bitches are counting me out, and I appear to be down for the count

Bahkan ketika kalian jalang menghitungku keluar, dan aku tampaknya sudah kalah

Only time I ever been out and about is

Satu-satunya waktu aku pernah keluar dan berkeliling adalah

Driving around town with my fucking whereabouts in a doubt

Mengemudi di sekitar kota dengan keberadaanku yang diragukan

'Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here but I'm not a quitter

Karena aku telah tersesat mencoba memikirkan apa yang telah kulakukan untuk sampai di sini tapi aku bukan penyerah

Gotta get up, give it all I got or give up

Harus bangkit, berikan semua yang aku punya atau menyerah

Spit on, shit on, stepped on, but kept going I'm tryna be headstrong

Diludahi, dihina, diinjak, tapi tetap berjalan aku mencoba menjadi kuat

But it feels like I slept on my neck wrong

Tapi rasanya seperti aku tidur dengan posisi leher yang salah

'Cause you're moving onto the next, but is the respect gone?

Karena kalian bergerak ke yang berikutnya, tapi apakah rasa hormatnya hilang?

'Cause someone told me that

Karena seseorang memberitahuku bahwa

(Kings never die)

(Raja tidak pernah mati)

Don't give me that sob story liar, don't preach to the choir

Jangan beri aku cerita sedih itu, pembohong, jangan berkhotbah kepada paduan suara

You ain't never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep

Kamu bahkan tidak pernah harus mencapai api untuk menggali dalam

Nobody ever handed me shit in life, not even a flyer

Tidak ada yang pernah memberiku sesuatu dalam hidup, bahkan tidak selebaran

Wouldn't even take shit into consideration

Bahkan tidak akan mempertimbangkan sesuatu

Obliterate anyone in the way

Hancurkan siapa pun di jalan

I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features and try to

Aku pikir aku tahu mengapa banyak rapper berada di fitur ini dan mencoba

Show out on a track with me but it'd actually

Tunjukkan di trek dengan aku tapi sebenarnya

Have to be a fucking blowout to get me to retire

Harus menjadi kekalahan telak untuk membuatku pensiun

Tell these new artists that kings never die

Beritahu artis baru ini bahwa raja tidak pernah mati

I know shit has changed in this age, fuck a Twitter page

Aku tahu hal-hal telah berubah di era ini, bodo amat dengan halaman Twitter

Did it just say I've been upstaged?

Apakah itu baru saja mengatakan aku telah dipermalukan?

Why am I online? It's driving me crazy

Mengapa aku online? Ini membuatku gila

I'm riding shotgun tryna get a gauge

Aku menumpang shotgun mencoba mendapatkan ukuran

On what's hot, but I'm not gonna' conform

Apa yang sedang hangat, tapi aku tidak akan menyesuaikan diri

But as days pass in this shit

Tapi seiring berjalannya hari dalam hal ini

And opinions sway, I can hear them say

Dan pendapat berayun, aku bisa mendengar mereka berkata

If I stay passionate maybe I can stay Jay miraculous

Jika aku tetap bersemangat mungkin aku bisa tetap menjadi Jay yang ajaib

Comeback as if I went away

Comeback seolah-olah aku pergi

But detractors just say (so much) for the Renegade

Tapi para pengkritik hanya berkata (begitu banyak) untuk Renegade

Someone's gonna make me blow my composure

Seseorang akan membuatku meledakkan ketenanganku

Here I go again, center stage and I feel like I'm in a cage

Di sini aku pergi lagi, di tengah panggung dan aku merasa seperti aku di dalam kandang

(Some want a champion to fall I still wonder why I laugh at 'em

(Beberapa orang ingin juara jatuh aku masih bertanya-tanya mengapa aku tertawa pada mereka

'Cause why care when I'm awesome?)

Karena mengapa peduli ketika aku luar biasa?)

Fuck what these cynics say

Bodo amat apa yang dikatakan para sinis ini

(Just goes to show that when my back's against the wall

(Hanya menunjukkan bahwa ketika punggungku menempel di dinding

And I'm under attack again, that I'll act as if I'm posted up)

Dan aku sedang diserang lagi, bahwa aku akan bertindak seolah-olah aku dipasang)

With this pent-up rage, 'cause all these plaques in my office

Dengan amarah ini, karena semua plakat ini di kantorku

On the floor stacked against the door

Di lantai ditumpuk melawan pintu

Are they just metaphors for the odds of me comin' back again?

Apakah mereka hanya metafora untuk peluangku kembali lagi?

'Cause all the accomplishments, accolades, awards

Karena semua pencapaian, pujian, penghargaan

And trophies just don't mean jack anymore

Dan piala hanya tidak berarti apa-apa lagi

If I'm here today and gone tomorrow

Jika aku di sini hari ini dan pergi besok

And I'm not gonna be

Dan aku tidak akan berada di sini

Here to stay

Di sini untuk tinggal

Even when I'm gone

Bahkan ketika aku pergi

When I close my eyes

Ketika aku menutup mataku

Through the passage of time

Melalui perjalanan waktu

Kings never die

Raja tidak pernah mati

I want it, I'm coming to get it

Aku menginginkannya, aku datang untuk mendapatkannya

So you son of a bitches don't duck you're gonna get Riddick Bowe'd

Jadi kalian anak anjing jangan bersembunyi kalian akan mendapatkan Riddick Bowe'd

Critics'll end up in critical

Kritikus akan berakhir dalam kritis

Think your shit is dope all you're gonna get is smoked then

Pikirkan omong kosongmu semua yang akan kau dapatkan adalah asap kemudian

And I ain't stopping 'till I'm on top again, all alone and on a throne

Dan aku tidak akan berhenti sampai aku berada di puncak lagi, sendirian dan di atas takhta

Like a token of respect, or a homage poem, or an ode I've been owed

Seperti tanda hormat, atau puisi penghormatan, atau ode yang telah kudapatkan

Tossed in the air by my own arm, and launched so hard I broke my collarbone

Dilemparkan ke udara oleh lengan sendiri, dan diluncurkan begitu keras sampai aku patah tulang selangka

(And when it's my time to go, I'm still not leaving)

(Dan ketika saatnya untuk pergi, aku masih tidak pergi)

Stop for no one, I don't know but I've been told an obstacle that

Berhenti untuk tidak ada, aku tidak tahu tapi aku telah diberitahu rintangan itu

Blocks your road, knock it over, time to go for that pot of gold, 'cause

Blokir jalanmu, hancurkan, saatnya untuk pergi untuk pot emas, karena

(They say kings never die

(Mereka bilang raja tidak pernah mati

Just ask Jam Master Jay, they

Cukup tanya Jam Master Jay, mereka

Just grow wings and they fly, so

Hanya tumbuh sayap dan mereka terbang, jadi

Hands up, reach for the sky

Angkat tangan, capai langit

Try to hold up and prolong these moments

Coba tahan dan panjangkan momen ini

'Cause in a blink of an eye

Karena dalam sekejap mata

They'll be over)

Mereka akan berakhir)

Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur and ensure

Coba amankan warisanmu seperti Shakur dan pastikan

Nobody's ever gonna be what you were

Tidak ada yang akan pernah menjadi seperti dirimu

So before you're leaving this Earth

Jadi sebelum kamu meninggalkan Bumi ini

You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral berserk

Kamu ingin orang merasakan kemarahan dari kejahatan murni yang gila

Deacon of words, syllable genius at work

Diaken kata-kata, jenius suku kata sedang bekerja

Plus I'm thinking that they're mistaking my kindness for weakness

Plus aku berpikir bahwa mereka salah mengerti kebaikanku sebagai kelemahan

Kill 'em with meanness

Bunuh mereka dengan kekejaman

I went from powdered milk and Farina

Aku pergi dari susu bubuk dan Farina

To flipping burgers on the grill for some peanuts

Untuk membalik burger di panggill untuk beberapa kacang

From Gilbert's to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas, still appeal to the dreamers

Dari Gilbert's ke arena, panggil aku Gilbert Arenas, masih menarik bagi para pemimpi

I made it to the silver screen where Rocky's still what the theme is

Aku berhasil sampai ke layar perak di mana Rocky masih menjadi tema

Khalil on the beat 'cause making the beat ain't the same

Khalil di beat karena membuat beat tidak sama

Feeling to me as killing the beat is

Rasanya bagiku seperti membunuh beat

So fulfilling to me is what filling a seat is

Jadi memuaskan bagiku adalah apa yang mengisi kursi

That sound, vomit, thirst and how common underground commons eat

Suara itu, muntah, haus dan bagaimana orang biasa makan

Outsider stomach growl, throbbing hunger

Perut luar biasa lapar, kelaparan yang menggembung

Out-rhyming everyone, God just give me one shot

Mengalahkan semua orang, Tuhan hanya beri aku satu tembakan

I swear that I won't let you down

Aku bersumpah bahwa aku tidak akan mengecewakanmu

I'ma be around forever, entertain even in the ground

Aku akan ada selamanya, menghibur bahkan di tanah

You ain't never ever gonna hear me say I ain't

Kamu tidak akan pernah mendengar aku mengatakan aku tidak

Here to stay

Di sini untuk tinggal

Even when I'm gone

Bahkan ketika aku pergi

When I close my eyes

Ketika aku menutup mataku

Through the passage of time

Melalui perjalanan waktu

Kings never die

Raja tidak pernah mati

[Chorus: Gwen Stefani]
Here to stay
اومدم تا (باقی یا زنده) بمونم
Even when I am gone
حتی موقعی که میمیرم
When I close my eyes
حتی زمانیکه چشمامو میبندم
Through the passage of time
در طی گذر زمان
Kings never die
پادشاهان هرگز نمیمیرند

[Verse 1: Eminem]
I can hear the drummer drummin’
میتونم صدای تبل زدن رو بشنوم
And the trumpets‚ someone′s tryna summon someone‚ I know somethin′s comin’
و همچنین صدای شیپور زدن رو، یکی داره تلاش میکنه که یه نفرو احضار کنه به دادگاه برای محاکمه کردنش، میدونم یچیزی داره میاد (اتفاق میفته)

But I am runnin′ from it to be standing at the summit
ولی ازش فرار میکنم، تا روی قله ها بایستم (موفق شم)
And plummet‚ how come it wasn′t what I thought it was?
و (از اون ارتفاع و درجه) سقوط کنم، چطور شد که اون چیزی که فکر میکردم نشد؟
Was it‚ too good to be true?
برای اینکه واقعی بشه (به واقعیت بپیونده) اینقدر خوب بودش؟؟
Have nothin′‚ get it all but too much of it
هیچی ندارم، هر چی بخوام بدست میارم ولی خیلی زیاد
Then lose it again‚ did I swallow Hallucinogens?
ولی دوباره از دستش میدم، “هالوسینوژن” مگه قورت دادم؟
Cause if not‚ where the hell did it go?
اگه اینطوری نیستش، پس قرصه کدوم گوری رفت؟
Cause here I sit in Lucifer′s den by the dutch oven
چونکه اینجا تو لونه ی لوسیفر (شیطان) و کنار تنور هلندی نشستم (آتیش جهنم مثل تنور میمونه)
Just choosing to sin
فقط تصمیم میگیرم که گناه کنم
Even if it means I am sellin′ my soul‚ just to be the undisputed again
حتی اگه به این معنی باشه که روحمو دارم میفروشم (به لوسیفر یا شیطان)، تا فقط دوباره همه قبولم داشته باشن
Do whatever I gotta do just to win
هر کاری که لازمه رو میکنم تا برنده بشم (هیچوقت تسلیم نمیشم)
‘Cause I got this motherfuckin’ cloud over my head
چونکه این ابر تخمی رو دور سرم دارم
Crown around it‚ thorns on it
(منظورم) تاج دور سرمه، خاری که روشه
Cracks in it‚ bet you morons didn′t think I’d be back‚ did ya?
ترک و شکافی که تو سرمه، شرط میبندم شما کسخلا فکر نمیکردید من برمیگردم، مگه نه؟
How ′bout that‚ I am somehow now back to the underdog
راجب اون چی فکر میکنید؟ الان یجورایی برگشتم به دوران تو سری خور بودنم
But no matter how loud that I bark‚ this sport is somethin′ I never bow-out (Bow Wow’d) at
ولی مهم نیست که چقدر بلند واق واق میکنم و داد میزنم،این ورزش چیزیکه هیچوقت ازش دست نمیکشم (توش بازنشسته نمیشم)
I complain about the game‚ I shout and I pout‚ It is a love-hate
ازین بازی (دنیای رپ) شکایت دارم، داد میزنم و لب و لوچه ام جمع میکنم، این یه رابطه ی عشق و نفرته
But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt
اما فهمیدم که میتونم (حتی) کوهی از تردید رو جا به جا کنم
Even when you bitches are countin′ me out‚ and I appear to be down for the count
حتی زمانیکه شما جنده ها و کون بچه ها منو (توی دنیای رپ و هیپ هاپ) به حساب نمی آوردید، و من سر و کلم پیدا شد تا برای باختنم شمارش معکوس بگید
Only time I ever been out and about (out in a bout)
تنها زمانیکه تا به حال سر حال بودم و این حوالی پرسه میزدم (توی بوکس ناک اوت شدم و حذف شدم)
Is drivin′ around town with my fuckin whereabouts in a doubt
زمانیکه توی شهر با ماشینم میگشتم در حالیکه محل سکونت کیریم هنوز مشخص نبود
Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here but I am not a quitter
چونکه گم شده بودم، دارم سعی میکنم که فکر کنم چیکار کردم که رسیدم اینجا، اما من آدمی نیستم که عقب بکشم
Gotta get up‚ give it all I got or give up
باید بلند شم، هر چی که دارمو بدم یا اینکه تسلیم بشم و عقب بکشم
Spit on‚ shit on‚ stepped on‚ but kept goin′
تف کردن روم، ریدن سر راهم، بعدشم روم قدم گذاشتن و رفتن، اما هنوزم دارم ادامه میدم
I am tryna be headstrong but it feels like I slept on my neck wrong
تلاش میکنم که خودسر و لجباز و یه دنده باشم، اما احساس میکنم بد خوابیدنم باعث شده که گردن درد بگیرم
Cause You are moving onto the next‚ but is the respect gone?
چونکه داری رشد میکنی، دلیل میشه که حرمت و احترام گذاشتن فراموشت بشه؟
Cause someone told me that …
چونکه یکی بهم گفتش که …

[Chorus: Gwen Stefani]
(Kings never die)
(پادشاهان هرگز نمیمیرند)

[Verse 2: Eminem]
Don′t give me that sob story liar‚
Don′t preach to the choir
اون داستان غم انگیزو برام تعریف نکن، دروغگو، وسط خوندنم نصیحتم نکن
You ain′t never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep
تو حتی برای اینکه یه قرون پول در بیاری مجبور نشدی بری داخل آتیش (ولی من مجبور شدم)
Nobody ever handed me shit in life‚ not even a flyer
هیچکسی تو زندگیم گهم بهم نداده، حتی یه کاغذ تبلیغاتی (تراکت تبلیغاتی)
Wouldn′t even take shit into consideration
حتی نمیخوام هیچ گهی وارد عقاید و افکارم بشه
Obliterate anyone in the way
هر کسی سر راهم قرار بگیره رو محو میکنم
I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features and try to show out on a track with me
فکر میکنم میدونم چرا خیلی از رپرا با هم دیگه فیت میدن (همکاری میکنن)، و تلاش میکنن که با من توی یه ترک آهنگ نشون داده بشن
But it′d actually have to be, a fuckin’ blow-out to get me to retire (re-tire)
اما در واقع بایدم اینطوری باشه، یه انفجار (پنچری) کیری باید اتفاق بیفته تا من بخوام بازنشته بشم (یا بخوام دوباره لاستیکامو عوض کنم)
Tell these new artists that kings never die
به این آرتیستا و رپرای تازه به دوران رسیده بگین که پادشاهان هرگز نمیمیرن
I know shit has changed in this age‚ fuck a Twitter page
میدونم که اوضاع توی این سن و سالم عوض شده، کیرم تو پیج توییر
Did it just say I have been upstaged?
فقط گفت که من دارم نظر دیگران رو به خودم معطوف میکنم؟
Why am I online? It is driving me crazy
چرا آنلاینم؟ این کیر میکنه تو اعصابم
I am ridin′ shotgun tryna get a gauge
توی ماشین کنار صندلی راننده نشستم و سعی میکنم که یه شاتگان 12 گیج گیر بیارم
On what′s hot‚ but I am not one to conform
که بسنجم چی داغه و مده و رو بورسه، اما من اون آدمی نیستم وه ازین چیزا پیروی و تقلید کنه
But as days pass in this shit
اما همونطوری که این روزا پی این کص کلک بازیا میگذرن
And opinions sway‚ I can hear them say
و ایده ها رد و بدل میشن، میتونم صداشونو بشنوم که میگن
If I stay passionate maybe I can stage (stay Jay) a miraculous
اگه همینطوری احساساتی بمونم میتونم روی صحنه و استیج بترکونم و معجزه کنم
Comeback as if I went away
برمیگردم، انگار که اصلا نرفته بودم
But detractors just say so much for the Renegade
اما بازم بدگوها زیادی واسه یاغی بودنشون زر میزنن
Someone′s gonna make me blow my composure
یکی قراره که ارامش و خونسردیم رو به فنا بده
Here I go again‚ center stage and I feel like I am in a cage
دوباره میام، وسط (استیج)، و حس میکنم که داخل یه قفسم
They so want a champion to fall
این آدما خیلی دوست دارن و مشتاق این هستن که یه قهرمان شکست بخوره
It is no wonder why I laugh at them‚ cause why can′t we win them all?
و این هیچ تعجبی نداره که چرا من بهشون میخندم، چونکه، چرا نمیتونیم همشون رو ببریم (شکست بدیم)؟
So fuck what these cynics say
پس کیرم تو چیزایی که این بدبین های منفی باف میزنن
(It) just goes ta show that when my back′s against the wall
این (آهنگا و بیت ها و دیس ها) ادامه پیدا میکنن تا نشن بدن که حتی زمانیکه پشتم (بازگشتم) مقابل دیوار قرار میگیره (جلوش سد و مانعی قرار میگیره)
And I am under attack (under a tack) again‚ that I will act as if I am ′posed ta (poster)
و یا زمانیکه دوباره بهم حمله میکنن (زیر پونزم)، که طوری رفتار خواهم کرد که انگارواسه دوربینا ژست میگیرم (مثل پوستر چسبوندنم به دیوار)
With this pent up (pain up) rage‚ cause all these plaques in my office
با این خشم و عصبانیتی که سرکوفت شده( به دیوار سنجاق شده)، چونکه همه ی این پلاک ها (نشونه ها) توی اداره (محل کار) من
On the floor stacked against the door
روی زمین و جلوی در وروی جمع شده (انباشته شده)
Are they just metaphors for the odds of me comin′ back again?
آیا اینا همه استعاره (نشونه) هایی از مشکلات و سختی های منن که دوباره دارن برمیگردن؟
Cause all the accomplishments‚ accolades‚ awards
چونکه همه ی این هنر ها و فضیلت ها، سربالایی ها و سختی ها، جوایز و دارایی ها
And trophies just don′t mean jack anymore
و پیروزی ها و دستاورد ها، فقط دیگه هیچ معنایی برام ندارن
If I am here today and gone tomorrow
اگر امروز اینجام (زنده ام) و فردا خواهم رفت ازین دنیا (خواهم مرد)
And I am not gonna be
و دیگه نخواهم بود (روی این زمین خاکی)

[Chorus: Gwen Stefani]
Here to stay
اومدم تا (باقی یا زنده) بمونم
Even when I am gone
حتی موقعی که میمیرم
When I close my eyes
حتی زمانیکه چشمامو میبندم
Through the passage of time, kings never die
در طی گذر زمان، پادشاهان هرگز نمیمیرند

[Verse 3: Eminem]
I want it‚ I am comin′ to get it
میخوامش، به این دنیا اومدم که بدستش بیارم (منظور موفقیت و شهرتشه)
So you son of a bitches don′t duck You are gonna get Riddick Bowe’d
خب پس شما حرومزاده ها دیگه زیرآبی نرید، (چونکه) سرنوشتتون مثل ریدیک بو میشه (مثل مشتای ریدیک بو میخوره توی صورتتون)
Critics′ll end up in critical‚ think your shit is dope all You are gonna get is smoked
شما منتقدام یه روزی شرایطتون وخیم میشه، فک میکنی که این انتقادای کیریت خیلی خوبن ولی تمام چیزی گیرت میاد هیچی و نابودیه
And I am not stopping ′til I am on top again‚ all alone and on a throne (honor thrown)
و من متوقف نمیشم (دست از تلاشم نمیکشم) تا اینکه دوباره به اوج برگردم، و به تنهایی روی تاج و تختم میشینم (به تنهایی افتخار و آبروم رو از دست میدم)
Like a token of respect‚ or a homage poem‚ or an ode I have been owed
مثل نماد و سمبلی از احترام، یا یک شعر برای تجلیل و ادای احترام، یا یک قطعه غزل یا قصیده که به من بدهکار بودن
Tossed in the air by my own arm‚ and launched so hard it broke my collarbone
با دستای (زور بازوی) خودم به هوا پرتاب شدم، و اینقدر سخت و محکم پرتاب شدم که استخوان ترقوه ام شکست (اغراق و مبالغه داشت این جمله)
And when It is my time to go‚ I am still not leaving
و وقتی که زمان رفتن (مردن یا بازنشستگی) من فرا برسه، هنوزم اینجا (دنیای رپ) رو ترک نمیکنم
Stop for no one‚ I don′t know but I have been told an obstacle that …
برای هیچکسی صبر نمیکنم (برای هیچکسی متوقف نمیشم)، نمیدونم چرا ولی بهم میگن که، من سد و مانعی بودم که …
Blocks your road‚ knock it over‚ time to go for that pot of gold‚ cause
راه شمارو بند آوردم (با موفقیت هام)، (اگه میتونی) کنارش برن (خط و نشون برا رقباش)، وقتشه برای رسیدن به گلدان طلا دست به کار شیم

[Bridge: Eminem]
They say kings never die
اونا میگن که پادشاهان هرگز نمیمیرند
Just ask Jam Master Jay
فقط کافیه از “جم مستر جی” سوال کنی
They just grow wings and they fly
اونا (منظور امثال مستر جی که میراثشون ماندگار شد) فقط بال و پر در میارن و پرواز میکنن
So‚ hands up‚ reach for the sky
پس دستا بالا ، برای رسیدن به آسمون (منظور رستگار شدن)
Try to hold and prolong these moments
پس سعی کن طاقت بیاری و این لحظات رو طولانی تر کنی
Cause in a blink of an eye
چونکه در چشمی بهم زدن
They′ll be over
تموم خواهند شد

[Verse 4: Eminem]
Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur
سعی کن میراثت رو مثل “توپاک شکور” ایمن و پایدار کنی
And ensure nobody′s ever gonna be what you were
و مطمئن بشی که هیچکسی به اونجا که تو بودی نمیرسه (به پای تو نمیرسه)
So before You are leavin′ this Earth
پس قبل اینکه داری این کره ی خاکی رو ترک میکنی (میمیری)
You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral‚ berserk
از مردم میخوای که خشم خالص و ناب یه مغز شیطنی رو بچشن، پس خیلی دیوونه ای
Deacon of words‚ syllable genius at work
دیکن (خادم) کلمه ها، نبوغ سیلابی و آوایی (واج آرایی) در کار
Plus I am thinkin′ that They are mistakin′ my kindness for weakness‚ kill them with meanness
به علاوه ی اینکه، فکر میکنم اونا مهربونی و لطف منو با ضعفم اشتباه گرفتن، با پستی و ظلم و خشونت میکشمون
I went from powdered milk and Farina
من از خوردن پودر شیر و فارینا
To flippin′ burgers on the grill for some peanuts
و چرخوندن چند تا همبرگر روی شعله ی گریل برای ددرآوردن دوقرون پول (چس مثقال پول)
From Gilbert′s to arenas‚ call me Gilbert Arenas‚ still appeal to the dreamers
توی (رستورانهای زنجیره ای) گیلبرت؛ رسیدم به استیج ها و کنسرت های بزرگ رسیدم، بهم بگو “گیلبرت آریناس”، (داستان زندگی من) هنوزم برای رویا پردازا جذابیت داره
I made it to the silverscreen but Rocky′s still what the theme is
داستان زندگیم رو روی صفحه (پرده) نقره ای هم ساختم (روی پرده ی سینما هم آوردمش)، اما موضوع بحثا هنوزم راجبه فیلم “راکی” هستش
Khalil on the beat cause makin′ the beat ain′t the same feelin′ to me as killin′ the beat is
دی جی خلیل مسئول ساخت بیت آهنگاست، چونکه ساختن بیت، احساس مشابه ترکوندن با بیت موزیک رو بهم نمیده
Or fulfillin′ to me is what fillin′ a seat is
یا اون چیزی که رضایت منو به ارمغان میاره همون پرشدن صندلی هاست (موقع کنسرتا)
It is that Sound-Bombing; Thirstin′ Howl
این اتفاق مثل صدای مهیب یه انفجاره، که همه رو مشتاق به فریاد زدن و جیغ زدن میکنه
Common‚ Underground‚ Diamond D‚ Outsidaz
کامن، آندرگروند، دایموند دی، اوتسیداز
Stomach growl‚ throbbin′ hunger‚ out rhymin′ everyone
صدای غار و غور شکمم، درد گرسنگی، اینا همه رو اذیت میکنه (همه اینارو از قافیه و ردیف آهنگام خارج میکنم)
God just give me one shot‚ I swear that I won′t let you down
خدایا، فقط بهم یه فرصت بده، قسم میخورم که ناامیدت نکنم
I am be around forever-and-a-day‚ even in the ground
من برای ابد و یک روز این حوالی خواهم بود، حتی وقتی که زیر خروارها خاکم

هیچوقت و هرگز نمیشنوی که بگن که من نبودم
