CARL E. MCCORMICK, JASMIN PENELOPE CHARLES, JERMAINE L. COLE, MARGAUX ALEXIS ROSELENA WHITNEY
Oh
Now I was barely seventeen with a pocket full of hope
Screamin', dollar and a dream with my closet lookin' broke
And my nigga's lookin' clean, gettin' caught up with that dope
Have you ever served a fiend with a pocket full of soap?
Nigga I can tell you things that you probably shouldn't know
Have you ever heard the screams when the body hit the floor?
Flashbacks to the pain, wakin' up, cold sweats
Six o'clock in the mornin', gotta hit the BoFlex
Get my weight up on the block, keep watch for the cops
God they love to serve a nigga three hots and a cot
Nowadays crime pays like a part time job
And the drought got me prayin' for a car time vibe
Summer Rain come again
Numb the pain 'cause it's hard for a felon
In my mind I been cryin', know it's wrong but I'm sellin'
Eyes wellin' up with tears
Thinkin' 'bout my niggas dead in the dirt
Immortalized on this shirt

Have you ever seen a fiend cook crack on the spoon?
Have you ever seen a nigga that was black on the moon?
Have you ever seen your brother go to prison as you cried?
Have you ever seen a motherfuckin' ribbon in the sky?
Nope, all I see is that C.R.E.A.M nigga, that green
I'm a black king, black jeans on my black queen
And her ass fat, too fat for a flat screen
I'm the type of nigga make the whole fuckin' trap lean
Kingpin nigga, put wings on a crack fiend
If they want a nigga, they gon' have to send a SWAT team
And I'm goin' out like Scarface in his last scene
A legend, what that mean?

To die a young legend or live a long life unfulfilled
'Cause you wanna change the world
But while alive you never will
'Cause they only feel you after you gone, or I've been told
And now I'm caught between bein' heard and gettin' old
Damn, death creepin' in my thoughts lately
My one wish in this bitch make it quick if the Lord take me
I know nobody meant to live forever anyway
And so I hustle like my niggas in Virgini-A
They tellin' niggas sell dope, rap or go to NBA, in that order
It's that sort of thinkin' that been keepin' niggas chained
At the bottom and hanged
The strangest fruit that you ever seen, ripe with pain

Oh
Oh
Now I was barely seventeen with a pocket full of hope
Agora eu tinha apenas dezessete anos com um bolso cheio de esperança
Screamin', dollar and a dream with my closet lookin' broke
Gritando, dólar e um sonho com meu armário parecendo quebrado
And my nigga's lookin' clean, gettin' caught up with that dope
E meus amigos parecendo limpos, sendo pegos com aquela droga
Have you ever served a fiend with a pocket full of soap?
Você já serviu um viciado com um bolso cheio de sabão?
Nigga I can tell you things that you probably shouldn't know
Cara, eu posso te contar coisas que você provavelmente não deveria saber
Have you ever heard the screams when the body hit the floor?
Você já ouviu os gritos quando o corpo atingiu o chão?
Flashbacks to the pain, wakin' up, cold sweats
Flashbacks da dor, acordando, suores frios
Six o'clock in the mornin', gotta hit the BoFlex
Seis horas da manhã, tenho que pegar o BoFlex
Get my weight up on the block, keep watch for the cops
Aumentar meu peso no quarteirão, ficar de olho nos policiais
God they love to serve a nigga three hots and a cot
Deus, eles adoram servir um cara três refeições quentes e uma cama
Nowadays crime pays like a part time job
Hoje em dia o crime paga como um emprego de meio período
And the drought got me prayin' for a car time vibe
E a seca me faz rezar por um clima de carro
Summer Rain come again
Chuva de verão, venha novamente
Numb the pain 'cause it's hard for a felon
Anestesie a dor porque é difícil para um criminoso
In my mind I been cryin', know it's wrong but I'm sellin'
Na minha mente eu tenho chorado, sei que é errado, mas estou vendendo
Eyes wellin' up with tears
Olhos enchendo-se de lágrimas
Thinkin' 'bout my niggas dead in the dirt
Pensando nos meus amigos mortos na terra

Aber solange du lebst, wirst du das nie tun
'Cause they only feel you after you gone, or I've been told
Denn sie fühlen dich erst, nachdem du weg bist, oder so wurde mir gesagt
And now I'm caught between bein' heard and gettin' old
Und jetzt stecke ich zwischen dem Gehörtwerden und dem Älterwerden fest
Damn, death creepin' in my thoughts lately
Verdammt, der Tod schleicht sich in letzter Zeit in meine Gedanken
My one wish in this bitch make it quick if the Lord take me
Mein einziger Wunsch in dieser Hündin ist, dass es schnell geht, wenn der Herr mich nimmt
I know nobody meant to live forever anyway
Ich weiß, niemand ist dazu bestimmt, sowieso für immer zu leben
And so I hustle like my niggas in Virgini-A
Und so schufte ich wie meine Kumpels in Virginia
They tellin' niggas sell dope, rap or go to NBA, in that order
Sie sagen den Kerlen, sie sollen Dope verkaufen, rappen oder in die NBA gehen, in dieser Reihenfolge
It's that sort of thinkin' that been keepin' niggas chained
Es ist diese Art von Denken, die die Kerle in Ketten hält
At the bottom and hanged
Am Boden und gehängt
The strangest fruit that you ever seen, ripe with pain
Die seltsamste Frucht, die du je gesehen hast, reif mit Schmerz
Listen
Hör zu
Oh
Oh
Now I was barely seventeen with a pocket full of hope
Ora avevo appena diciassette anni con una tasca piena di speranza
Screamin', dollar and a dream with my closet lookin' broke
Gridando, un dollaro e un sogno con il mio armadio che sembra vuoto
And my nigga's lookin' clean, gettin' caught up with that dope
E i miei amici sembrano puliti, presi con quella droga
Have you ever served a fiend with a pocket full of soap?
Hai mai servito un tossicodipendente con una tasca piena di sapone?
Nigga I can tell you things that you probably shouldn't know
Amico, posso dirti cose che probabilmente non dovresti sapere
Have you ever heard the screams when the body hit the floor?
Hai mai sentito le urla quando il corpo colpisce il pavimento?
Flashbacks to the pain, wakin' up, cold sweats
Flashback al dolore, svegliarsi, sudori freddi
Six o'clock in the mornin', gotta hit the BoFlex
Sei del mattino, devo colpire il BoFlex
Get my weight up on the block, keep watch for the cops
Aumentare il mio peso sul blocco, stare attento ai poliziotti
God they love to serve a nigga three hots and a cot
Dio, amano servire a un nero tre pasti caldi e un letto
Nowadays crime pays like a part time job
Oggi il crimine paga come un lavoro part-time
And the drought got me prayin' for a car time vibe
E la siccità mi fa pregare per un'auto a tempo
Summer Rain come again
Piove d'estate, torna di nuovo
Numb the pain 'cause it's hard for a felon
Anestetizza il dolore perché è difficile per un criminale
In my mind I been cryin', know it's wrong but I'm sellin'
Nella mia mente ho pianto, so che è sbagliato ma sto vendendo
Eyes wellin' up with tears
Gli occhi si riempiono di lacrime
Thinkin' 'bout my niggas dead in the dirt
Pensando ai miei amici morti nella terra
Immortalized on this shirt
Immortalizzati su questa maglietta

Have you ever seen a fiend cook crack on the spoon?
Hai mai visto un tossicodipendente cucinare crack sul cucchiaio?
Have you ever seen a nigga that was black on the moon?
Hai mai visto un nero sulla luna?
Have you ever seen your brother go to prison as you cried?
Hai mai visto tuo fratello andare in prigione mentre piangevi?
Have you ever seen a motherfuckin' ribbon in the sky?
Hai mai visto un maledetto nastro nel cielo?
Nope, all I see is that C.R.E.A.M nigga, that green
No, tutto quello che vedo è quel C.R.E.A.M nero, quel verde
I'm a black king, black jeans on my black queen
Sono un re nero, jeans neri sulla mia regina nera
And her ass fat, too fat for a flat screen
E il suo sedere è grasso, troppo grasso per un televisore a schermo piatto
I'm the type of nigga make the whole fuckin' trap lean
Sono il tipo di nero che fa inclinare tutta la trappola
Kingpin nigga, put wings on a crack fiend
Re del narcotraffico, metto le ali a un tossicodipendente
If they want a nigga, they gon' have to send a SWAT team
Se mi vogliono, dovranno mandare una squadra SWAT
And I'm goin' out like Scarface in his last scene
E me ne vado come Scarface nella sua ultima scena
A legend, what that mean?
Una leggenda, cosa significa?

To die a young legend or live a long life unfulfilled
Morire giovane leggenda o vivere una lunga vita insoddisfatta
'Cause you wanna change the world
Perché vuoi cambiare il mondo
But while alive you never will
Ma mentre sei vivo non lo farai mai
'Cause they only feel you after you gone, or I've been told
Perché ti sentono solo dopo che te ne sei andato, o così mi hanno detto
And now I'm caught between bein' heard and gettin' old
E ora sono diviso tra essere ascoltato e invecchiare
Damn, death creepin' in my thoughts lately
Dannazione, la morte si insinua nei miei pensieri ultimamente
My one wish in this bitch make it quick if the Lord take me
Il mio unico desiderio in questa cagna è che sia veloce se il Signore mi prende
I know nobody meant to live forever anyway
So che nessuno è destinato a vivere per sempre comunque
And so I hustle like my niggas in Virgini-A
E quindi mi do da fare come i miei amici in Virginia
They tellin' niggas sell dope, rap or go to NBA, in that order
Dicono ai neri di vendere droga, fare rap o andare in NBA, in quest'ordine
It's that sort of thinkin' that been keepin' niggas chained
È questo tipo di pensiero che tiene i neri incatenati
At the bottom and hanged
In fondo e impiccati
The strangest fruit that you ever seen, ripe with pain
Il frutto più strano che tu abbia mai visto, maturo con dolore
