Sideline Story

Jermaine Cole

Lyrics Translation

I put my heart and soul in this game, I'm feelin' drained
Unappreciated, unalleviated
Tired of comin' up short, fuck abbreviated
Want my whole name spelled out, my own pain spilled out
No pain, no gain, I blow brains, Cobain
Throw flames, Liu Kang, the coach ain't help out, so I call my own shots
I'm David Blaine, I'm breakin' out of my own box, you stay the same
But homie if you change, may you change for the better
Back when Martin King had a thing for Coretta
Wonder if she seen all the dreams he was dreamin'
Did she have a clue of all the schemes he was schemin'
Still loved him just enough to put up with the cheatin'
Months go by and only see him for a weekend
I say a prayer, hope my girl ain't leavin'
We all got angels, we all got demons
As you fall through the club
Bad bitches down to do all the above
Money comes fast so bein' hungry don't last
'Til you look in the mirror and you saw who you was
Cole World, it couldn't be more clearer
The time is now, couldn't be more her-er
My reign gonna last like 3-4 eras
Say hello to the real, I can be your hero

Hey, I'ma put us all on the map
Gone and I ain't lookin' back
I know they gon' feel it like they tank on E
I promise baby, you can bet the bank on me
'Cause can't nobody tell me what I ain't gonna be no more
You thinking I'ma fall, don't be so sure
I wish somebody made guidelines
On how to get up off the sidelines

Up in first class, laugh even though it's not funny
See a white man wonder how the fuck I got money
While he sit in coach, hate to see me walk past 'em
Young, black, pants sag, headphones blastin'
Know what he askin', "how did he manage?"
"With all the cards against him, he used them to his advantage!"
Slang we be speakin' probably soundin' like Spanish
Then I fuck they heads up when a nigga show manners
Some New York niggas thought it was funny callin' us 'Bama
Laughin' at the grammar 'cause they didn't understand us
Must've thought we slow, but little do they know
I came up in here to take advantage of that shit y'all take for granted
Opportunity that I would kill for
Lookin' at rappers like "what the fuck you got a deal for"
When I was ass out with my funds low
It's nice to know I had the whole world at my front door

Hey, I'ma put us all on the map
Gone and I ain't lookin' back
I know they gon' feel it like they tank on E
I promise baby, you can bet the bank on me
'Cause can't nobody tell me what I ain't gonna be no more
You thinking I'ma fall, don't be so sure
I wish somebody made guidelines
On how to get up off the sidelines

I made it to the rack, even though they tried to box me out
I got the key to the game, they tried to lock me out
But what they don't understand is this is all plan
It's a bigger picture and you can't photoshop me out
Some nigga ask me why Jay never shout me out
Like I'm supposed to give a fuck
Don't you know that I be out in France
Where the fans throw they hands like Pacquiao
Not 'cause my looks, 'cause my hooks could knock Rocky out
And my lines is designed from the heart
Young Simba been a lion from the start
Dumb nigga's, y'all been lyin from the start
My life's like a movie, truly
And these niggas is dyin' for the part
But, you'll never play me like LeBron vs. Jordan
Twenty years, wonder who they gon' say was more important
Both changed the game, came through and made a lane
Who's to say that who's greater, all we know, they ain't the same

Hey, I'ma put us all on the map
Gone and I ain't lookin' back
I know they gon' feel it like they tank on E
I promise baby, you can bet the bank on me
'Cause can't nobody tell me what I ain't gonna be no more
You thinking I'ma fall, don't be so sure
I wish somebody made guidelines
On how to get up off the sidelines

I put my heart and soul in this game, I'm feelin' drained
Coloquei meu coração e alma neste jogo, estou me sentindo esgotado
Unappreciated, unalleviated
Desapreciado, não aliviado
Tired of comin' up short, fuck abbreviated
Cansado de ficar aquém, foda-se abreviado
Want my whole name spelled out, my own pain spilled out
Quero meu nome completo escrito, minha própria dor derramada
No pain, no gain, I blow brains, Cobain
Sem dor, sem ganho, eu explodo cérebros, Cobain
Throw flames, Liu Kang, the coach ain't help out, so I call my own shots
Lanço chamas, Liu Kang, o treinador não ajudou, então eu tomo minhas próprias decisões
I'm David Blaine, I'm breakin' out of my own box, you stay the same
Eu sou David Blaine, estou saindo da minha própria caixa, você permanece o mesmo
But homie if you change, may you change for the better
Mas mano, se você mudar, que mude para melhor
Back when Martin King had a thing for Coretta
Quando Martin King tinha um caso com Coretta
Wonder if she seen all the dreams he was dreamin'
Pergunto-me se ela viu todos os sonhos que ele estava sonhando
Did she have a clue of all the schemes he was schemin'
Ela tinha uma ideia de todos os esquemas que ele estava tramando
Still loved him just enough to put up with the cheatin'
Ainda o amava o suficiente para aguentar a traição
Months go by and only see him for a weekend
Meses passam e só o vejo por um fim de semana
I say a prayer, hope my girl ain't leavin'
Eu faço uma oração, espero que minha garota não esteja partindo
We all got angels, we all got demons
Todos nós temos anjos, todos nós temos demônios
As you fall through the club
Enquanto você cai pelo clube
Bad bitches down to do all the above
Más garotas dispostas a fazer tudo acima
Money comes fast so bein' hungry don't last
O dinheiro vem rápido, então a fome não dura
'Til you look in the mirror and you saw who you was
Até você olhar no espelho e ver quem você era
Cole World, it couldn't be more clearer
Cole World, não poderia ser mais claro
The time is now, couldn't be more her-er
O tempo é agora, não poderia ser mais aqui
My reign gonna last like 3-4 eras
Meu reinado vai durar como 3-4 eras
Say hello to the real, I can be your hero
Diga olá para o real, eu posso ser seu herói
Hey, I'ma put us all on the map
Ei, vou colocar todos nós no mapa
Gone and I ain't lookin' back
Fui e não estou olhando para trás
I know they gon' feel it like they tank on E
Eu sei que eles vão sentir como se o tanque estivesse vazio
I promise baby, you can bet the bank on me
Eu prometo, baby, você pode apostar o banco em mim
'Cause can't nobody tell me what I ain't gonna be no more
Porque ninguém pode me dizer o que eu não vou ser mais
You thinking I'ma fall, don't be so sure
Você acha que eu vou cair, não tenha tanta certeza
I wish somebody made guidelines
Eu gostaria que alguém fizesse diretrizes
On how to get up off the sidelines
Sobre como sair do banco de reservas
Up in first class, laugh even though it's not funny
Na primeira classe, rindo mesmo que não seja engraçado
See a white man wonder how the fuck I got money
Vejo um homem branco se perguntando como diabos eu consegui dinheiro
While he sit in coach, hate to see me walk past 'em
Enquanto ele senta na classe econômica, odeia me ver passar por ele
Young, black, pants sag, headphones blastin'
Jovem, negro, calças caídas, fones de ouvido no máximo
Know what he askin', "how did he manage?"
Sei o que ele está perguntando, "como ele conseguiu?"
"With all the cards against him, he used them to his advantage!"
"Com todas as cartas contra ele, ele as usou a seu favor!"
Slang we be speakin' probably soundin' like Spanish
A gíria que falamos provavelmente soa como espanhol
Then I fuck they heads up when a nigga show manners
Então eu fodo com a cabeça deles quando um negro mostra maneiras
Some New York niggas thought it was funny callin' us 'Bama
Alguns caras de Nova York acharam engraçado nos chamar de 'Bama
Laughin' at the grammar 'cause they didn't understand us
Rindo da gramática porque eles não nos entendiam
Must've thought we slow, but little do they know
Deve ter pensado que somos lentos, mas pouco eles sabem
I came up in here to take advantage of that shit y'all take for granted
Eu vim aqui para aproveitar o que vocês dão como garantido
Opportunity that I would kill for
Oportunidade pela qual eu mataria
Lookin' at rappers like "what the fuck you got a deal for"
Olhando para os rappers como "por que diabos você tem um contrato"
When I was ass out with my funds low
Quando eu estava sem dinheiro
It's nice to know I had the whole world at my front door
É bom saber que eu tinha o mundo inteiro à minha porta
Hey, I'ma put us all on the map
Ei, vou colocar todos nós no mapa
Gone and I ain't lookin' back
Fui e não estou olhando para trás
I know they gon' feel it like they tank on E
Eu sei que eles vão sentir como se o tanque estivesse vazio
I promise baby, you can bet the bank on me
Eu prometo, baby, você pode apostar o banco em mim
'Cause can't nobody tell me what I ain't gonna be no more
Porque ninguém pode me dizer o que eu não vou ser mais
You thinking I'ma fall, don't be so sure
Você acha que eu vou cair, não tenha tanta certeza
I wish somebody made guidelines
Eu gostaria que alguém fizesse diretrizes
On how to get up off the sidelines
Sobre como sair do banco de reservas
I made it to the rack, even though they tried to box me out
Cheguei à cesta, mesmo que eles tentassem me bloquear
I got the key to the game, they tried to lock me out
Eu tenho a chave do jogo, eles tentaram me trancar
But what they don't understand is this is all plan
Mas o que eles não entendem é que isso é tudo planejado
It's a bigger picture and you can't photoshop me out
É uma imagem maior e você não pode me tirar do photoshop
Some nigga ask me why Jay never shout me out
Um cara me perguntou por que Jay nunca me elogiou
Like I'm supposed to give a fuck
Como se eu devesse dar a mínima
Don't you know that I be out in France
Você não sabe que eu estou na França
Where the fans throw they hands like Pacquiao
Onde os fãs levantam as mãos como Pacquiao
Not 'cause my looks, 'cause my hooks could knock Rocky out
Não por causa da minha aparência, porque meus ganchos poderiam nocautear Rocky
And my lines is designed from the heart
E minhas linhas são desenhadas do coração
Young Simba been a lion from the start
Jovem Simba tem sido um leão desde o início
Dumb nigga's, y'all been lyin from the start
Caras burros, vocês têm mentido desde o início
My life's like a movie, truly
Minha vida é como um filme, de verdade
And these niggas is dyin' for the part
E esses caras estão morrendo pela parte
But, you'll never play me like LeBron vs. Jordan
Mas, você nunca vai me jogar como LeBron vs. Jordan
Twenty years, wonder who they gon' say was more important
Vinte anos, me pergunto quem eles vão dizer que foi mais importante
Both changed the game, came through and made a lane
Ambos mudaram o jogo, vieram e abriram um caminho
Who's to say that who's greater, all we know, they ain't the same
Quem pode dizer quem é maior, tudo que sabemos, eles não são iguais
Hey, I'ma put us all on the map
Ei, vou colocar todos nós no mapa
Gone and I ain't lookin' back
Fui e não estou olhando para trás
I know they gon' feel it like they tank on E
Eu sei que eles vão sentir como se o tanque estivesse vazio
I promise baby, you can bet the bank on me
Eu prometo, baby, você pode apostar o banco em mim
'Cause can't nobody tell me what I ain't gonna be no more
Porque ninguém pode me dizer o que eu não vou ser mais
You thinking I'ma fall, don't be so sure
Você acha que eu vou cair, não tenha tanta certeza
I wish somebody made guidelines
Eu gostaria que alguém fizesse diretrizes
On how to get up off the sidelines
Sobre como sair do banco de reservas
I put my heart and soul in this game, I'm feelin' drained
Puse mi corazón y alma en este juego, me siento agotado
Unappreciated, unalleviated
No apreciado, no aliviado
Tired of comin' up short, fuck abbreviated
Cansado de quedarme corto, joder abreviado
Want my whole name spelled out, my own pain spilled out
Quiero que mi nombre completo esté escrito, mi propio dolor derramado
No pain, no gain, I blow brains, Cobain
Sin dolor, sin ganancia, reviento cerebros, Cobain
Throw flames, Liu Kang, the coach ain't help out, so I call my own shots
Lanzo llamas, Liu Kang, el entrenador no ayudó, así que tomo mis propias decisiones
I'm David Blaine, I'm breakin' out of my own box, you stay the same
Soy David Blaine, estoy rompiendo mi propia caja, te quedas igual
But homie if you change, may you change for the better
Pero amigo si cambias, que cambies para mejor
Back when Martin King had a thing for Coretta
Cuando Martin King tenía algo por Coretta
Wonder if she seen all the dreams he was dreamin'
Me pregunto si ella vio todos los sueños que él soñaba
Did she have a clue of all the schemes he was schemin'
¿Tenía una idea de todos los planes que él tramaba?
Still loved him just enough to put up with the cheatin'
Aún lo amaba lo suficiente como para soportar las infidelidades
Months go by and only see him for a weekend
Pasaban meses y solo lo veía un fin de semana
I say a prayer, hope my girl ain't leavin'
Digo una oración, espero que mi chica no se vaya
We all got angels, we all got demons
Todos tenemos ángeles, todos tenemos demonios
As you fall through the club
Mientras caes por el club
Bad bitches down to do all the above
Las malas chicas dispuestas a hacer todo lo anterior
Money comes fast so bein' hungry don't last
El dinero llega rápido así que el hambre no dura
'Til you look in the mirror and you saw who you was
Hasta que te miras en el espejo y ves quién eres
Cole World, it couldn't be more clearer
Mundo de Cole, no podría ser más claro
The time is now, couldn't be more her-er
El momento es ahora, no podría ser más aquí
My reign gonna last like 3-4 eras
Mi reinado va a durar como 3-4 eras
Say hello to the real, I can be your hero
Saluda a lo real, puedo ser tu héroe
Hey, I'ma put us all on the map
Oye, voy a poner a todos en el mapa
Gone and I ain't lookin' back
Me fui y no estoy mirando atrás
I know they gon' feel it like they tank on E
Sé que lo van a sentir como si su tanque estuviera en E
I promise baby, you can bet the bank on me
Lo prometo, cariño, puedes apostar el banco en mí
'Cause can't nobody tell me what I ain't gonna be no more
Porque nadie puede decirme lo que ya no voy a ser
You thinking I'ma fall, don't be so sure
Piensas que voy a caer, no estés tan seguro
I wish somebody made guidelines
Desearía que alguien hiciera pautas
On how to get up off the sidelines
Sobre cómo levantarse de las líneas de banda
Up in first class, laugh even though it's not funny
En primera clase, río aunque no sea gracioso
See a white man wonder how the fuck I got money
Veo a un hombre blanco preguntándose cómo diablos conseguí dinero
While he sit in coach, hate to see me walk past 'em
Mientras él se sienta en el entrenador, odia verme pasar
Young, black, pants sag, headphones blastin'
Joven, negro, pantalones caídos, auriculares a todo volumen
Know what he askin', "how did he manage?"
Sé lo que está preguntando, "¿cómo lo logró?"
"With all the cards against him, he used them to his advantage!"
"Con todas las cartas en contra de él, ¡las usó a su favor!"
Slang we be speakin' probably soundin' like Spanish
El argot que hablamos probablemente suena como español
Then I fuck they heads up when a nigga show manners
Luego les jodo la cabeza cuando un negro muestra modales
Some New York niggas thought it was funny callin' us 'Bama
Algunos neoyorquinos pensaron que era gracioso llamarnos 'Bama
Laughin' at the grammar 'cause they didn't understand us
Riéndose de la gramática porque no nos entendían
Must've thought we slow, but little do they know
Deben haber pensado que somos lentos, pero poco saben
I came up in here to take advantage of that shit y'all take for granted
Vine aquí para aprovechar esa mierda que ustedes dan por sentado
Opportunity that I would kill for
Oportunidad por la que mataría
Lookin' at rappers like "what the fuck you got a deal for"
Mirando a los raperos como "¿para qué diablos tienes un trato?"
When I was ass out with my funds low
Cuando estaba sin un centavo con mis fondos bajos
It's nice to know I had the whole world at my front door
Es agradable saber que tenía todo el mundo en mi puerta
Hey, I'ma put us all on the map
Oye, voy a poner a todos en el mapa
Gone and I ain't lookin' back
Me fui y no estoy mirando atrás
I know they gon' feel it like they tank on E
Sé que lo van a sentir como si su tanque estuviera en E

Sobre cómo levantarse de las líneas de banda
I made it to the rack, even though they tried to box me out
Llegué a la canasta, aunque intentaron bloquearme
I got the key to the game, they tried to lock me out
Tengo la llave del juego, intentaron cerrarme
But what they don't understand is this is all plan
Pero lo que no entienden es que esto es todo un plan
It's a bigger picture and you can't photoshop me out
Es una imagen más grande y no puedes eliminarme con photoshop
Some nigga ask me why Jay never shout me out
Algún negro me preguntó por qué Jay nunca me menciona
Like I'm supposed to give a fuck
Como si se supone que debo dar un carajo
Don't you know that I be out in France
¿No sabes que estaré en Francia?
Where the fans throw they hands like Pacquiao
Donde los fans levantan las manos como Pacquiao
Not 'cause my looks, 'cause my hooks could knock Rocky out
No por mi apariencia, porque mis ganchos podrían noquear a Rocky
And my lines is designed from the heart
Y mis líneas están diseñadas desde el corazón
Young Simba been a lion from the start
El joven Simba ha sido un león desde el principio
Dumb nigga's, y'all been lyin from the start
Negros tontos, ustedes han estado mintiendo desde el principio
My life's like a movie, truly
Mi vida es como una película, de verdad
And these niggas is dyin' for the part
Y estos negros están muriendo por la parte
But, you'll never play me like LeBron vs. Jordan
Pero, nunca me jugarás como LeBron vs. Jordan
Twenty years, wonder who they gon' say was more important
Veinte años, me pregunto a quién dirán que fue más importante
Both changed the game, came through and made a lane
Ambos cambiaron el juego, llegaron y crearon un carril
Who's to say that who's greater, all we know, they ain't the same
¿Quién puede decir quién es el más grande, todo lo que sabemos, no son lo mismo
Hey, I'ma put us all on the map
Oye, voy a poner a todos en el mapa
Gone and I ain't lookin' back
Me fui y no estoy mirando atrás

Desearía que alguien hiciera pautas
On how to get up off the sidelines
Sobre cómo levantarse de las líneas de banda
I put my heart and soul in this game, I'm feelin' drained
J'ai mis mon cœur et mon âme dans ce jeu, je me sens vidé
Unappreciated, unalleviated
Non apprécié, non soulagé
Tired of comin' up short, fuck abbreviated
Fatigué de tomber court, merde abrégée
Want my whole name spelled out, my own pain spilled out
Je veux que mon nom complet soit épelé, ma propre douleur déversée
No pain, no gain, I blow brains, Cobain
Pas de douleur, pas de gain, je fais sauter des cerveaux, Cobain
Throw flames, Liu Kang, the coach ain't help out, so I call my own shots
Je lance des flammes, Liu Kang, l'entraîneur n'a pas aidé, alors je prends mes propres décisions
I'm David Blaine, I'm breakin' out of my own box, you stay the same
Je suis David Blaine, je sors de ma propre boîte, tu restes le même
But homie if you change, may you change for the better
Mais si tu changes, que tu changes pour le mieux
Back when Martin King had a thing for Coretta
Quand Martin King avait un faible pour Coretta
Wonder if she seen all the dreams he was dreamin'
Je me demande si elle a vu tous les rêves qu'il faisait
Did she have a clue of all the schemes he was schemin'
Avait-elle une idée de tous les plans qu'il tramait
Still loved him just enough to put up with the cheatin'
Elle l'aimait encore assez pour supporter ses infidélités
Months go by and only see him for a weekend
Des mois passent et on ne le voit que le week-end
I say a prayer, hope my girl ain't leavin'
Je dis une prière, j'espère que ma fille ne partira pas
We all got angels, we all got demons
Nous avons tous des anges, nous avons tous des démons

Jusqu'à ce que tu te regardes dans le miroir et que tu vois qui tu es
Cole World, it couldn't be more clearer

Mon règne va durer comme 3-4 ères
Say hello to the real, I can be your hero
Dis bonjour à la réalité, je peux être ton héros
Hey, I'ma put us all on the map
Hey, je vais nous mettre tous sur la carte

Je vois un homme blanc se demander comment j'ai eu de l'argent
While he sit in coach, hate to see me walk past 'em
Alors qu'il est en classe économique, il déteste me voir passer devant lui
Young, black, pants sag, headphones blastin'
Jeune, noir, pantalon baissé, écouteurs à fond
Know what he askin', "how did he manage?"
Je sais ce qu'il demande, "comment a-t-il réussi ?"
"With all the cards against him, he used them to his advantage!"
"Avec toutes les cartes contre lui, il les a utilisées à son avantage !"
Slang we be speakin' probably soundin' like Spanish

Puis je leur fais tourner la tête quand un négro montre des manières
Some New York niggas thought it was funny callin' us 'Bama
Certains New-Yorkais pensaient que c'était drôle de nous appeler 'Bama
Laughin' at the grammar 'cause they didn't understand us
Riant de la grammaire parce qu'ils ne nous comprenaient pas
Must've thought we slow, but little do they know
Ils ont dû penser que nous étions lents, mais ils ne savent pas
I came up in here to take advantage of that shit y'all take for granted
Je suis venu ici pour profiter de ce que vous prenez pour acquis
Opportunity that I would kill for

I got the key to the game, they tried to lock me out
J'ai la clé du jeu, ils ont essayé de me verrouiller
But what they don't understand is this is all plan
Mais ce qu'ils ne comprennent pas, c'est que tout cela est planifié
It's a bigger picture and you can't photoshop me out
C'est une image plus grande et tu ne peux pas me photoshoper

But, you'll never play me like LeBron vs. Jordan
Mais, tu ne me joueras jamais comme LeBron vs. Jordan
Twenty years, wonder who they gon' say was more important
Dans vingt ans, on se demandera qui était le plus important
Both changed the game, came through and made a lane
Tous les deux ont changé le jeu, sont passés et ont créé une voie
Who's to say that who's greater, all we know, they ain't the same
Qui peut dire qui est le plus grand, tout ce que nous savons, ils ne sont pas les mêmes

I put my heart and soul in this game, I'm feelin' drained

Unappreciated, unalleviated
Unwürdigt, ungelindert
Tired of comin' up short, fuck abbreviated
Müde davon, immer zu kurz zu kommen, verdammt abgekürzt
Want my whole name spelled out, my own pain spilled out
Will meinen ganzen Namen ausgeschrieben, meinen eigenen Schmerz ausgegossen
No pain, no gain, I blow brains, Cobain

Back when Martin King had a thing for Coretta
Damals, als Martin King eine Schwäche für Coretta hatte
Wonder if she seen all the dreams he was dreamin'
