Ain't no question if I want it, I need it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
I'm on the edge, so why you playing? I'm saying
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
Not for nothing I've foreseen it, I dreamed it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
No more chances if you blow this, you bogus
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
Penitentiary chances, the devil dances
And eventually answers to the call of Autumn
All of them fallin' for the love of ballin'
Got caught with thirty rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin
Inter-century anthems based off inner-city tantrums
Based off the way we was branded
Face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon
And at the airport they check all through my bag and
Tell me that it's random
But we stay winning, this week has been a bad massage
I need a happy ending and a new beginning
And a new fitted and some job opportunities that's lucrative
This the real world, homie, school finished
They done stole your dreams, you'ont know who did it
I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS
I won't be satisfied 'til all my niggas get it, get it?
Ain't no question if I want it, I need it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
I'm on the edge, so why you playing? I'm saying
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
Is hip hop, just a euphemism for a new religion?
The soul music for the slaves that the youth is missing
But this is more than just my road to redemption
Malcolm West had the whole nation standing at attention
As long as I'm in Polos smilin' they think they got me
But they'd try to crack me if they ever see a black me
I thought I chose a field where they couldn't sack me
If a nigga ain't shootin' a jump shot, running a track meet
But this pimp is, at the top of Mount Olympus
Ready for the world's game, this is my Olympics
We make 'em say ho 'cause the game's so pimpish
Choke a South Park writer with a fishstick
I insisted to get up offa this dick
And these drugs, niggas can't resist it
Remind me when they tried to have Ali enlisted
If I ever wasn't the greatest, nigga, I must have missed it
Ain't no question if I want it, I need it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
I'm on the edge, so why you playing? I'm saying
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
I need more drinks and less lights
And that American Apparel girl in just tights
She told the director she tryna get in a school
He said, "Take them glasses off and get in the pool"
It's been a while since I watched the tube
'Cause like a Crip said
"I got way too many blues for any more bad news"
I was looking at my resume, feeling real fresh today
They rewrite history, I don't believe in yesterday
And what's a black Beatle anyway, a fucking roach?
I guess that's why they got me sitting in fucking coach
My guy said I need a different approach
'Cause people is looking at me like I'm sniffing coke
It's not funny anymore try different jokes
Tell 'em hug and kiss my ass, x and o
And kiss the ring while they at it
Do my thing while I got it
Play strings for the dramatic
Ending of that wack shit
Act like I ain't had a belt in two classes
I ain't got it I'm coming after whoever who has it
I'm coming after whoever, who has it?
You blowing up, that's good, fantastic
That y'all, it's like that y'all
I don't really give a fuck about it at all
'Cause the same people that tried to black ball me
Forgot about two things, my black balls
Ain't no question if I want it, I need it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
I'm on the edge, so why you playing? I'm saying
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
Aye yo
I done copped Timbs, that's lived in lenses
Kid, Armani suits, fresh fruits, Bally boots and Benzes
Counting up, smoking, one cuff
Live as a red Jag', a Louis bag, grabbing a blunt, fuck it
Steam about a hundred and one L's
Kites off the jails, buying sweats, running up in Stetson
Nigga hat game was special
It matched every black pair of Nike's
Throwing dice for decimals
The older head, bolder head, would train a soldier head
Make sure he right in the field, not a soldier dead
That meant code red, bent off the black skunk
The black Dutch, back of the old shed
If you can't live, you dying
You give or buy in
Keep it real or keep it moving, keep grinding
Keep shining, to every young man, this is a plan
Learn from others like your brothers Rae and Kanye
Not for nothing I've foreseen it, I dreamed it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
No more chances if you blow this, you bogus
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
[Letra de "Kanye West - Gorgeous ft. Kid Cudi & Raekwon (Traducción al Español)"]
[Estribillo: Kid Cudi]
No hay duda de lo que si lo quiero, y lo necesito
Puedo sentirlo alejándose lentamente de mí
Estoy al límite, ¿por qué estás jugando? estoy diciendo
Nunca te dejaré vivir esto en lo bajo, bajo, bajo
No en vano, lo he previsto, lo soñé
Puedo sentirlo alejándose lentamente de mí
No hay más posibilidades, si arruinas esto, eres falso
Nunca te dejaré vivir esto en lo bajo, bajo, bajo
[Verso 1: Kanye West]
Posibilidades penitenciarias, el diablo baila
Y finalmente responde a la llamada del otoño
Todos ellos se enamoran del baile
Quedé atrapado con treinta piedras, el policía se parece a Alec Baldwin
Himnos de entre siglos basados en berrinches en el centro de la ciudad
Basado en la forma en que fuimos marcados
Acéptalo, Jerome tiene más tiempo que Brandon
Y en el aeropuerto revisan todo mi bolso
Y dime que es al azar
Pero seguimos ganando
Esta semana ha sido un mal masaje, necesito un final feliz
Y un nuevo comienzo y un nuevo ajuste
Y algunas oportunidades laborales que son lucrativas
Este es el mundo real, amigo, la escuela terminó
Te robaron los sueños, no sabes quién lo hizo
Trato el dinero en efectivo de la forma en que el gobierno trata el SIDA
No estaré satisfecho hasta que todos mis negros lo entiendan, ¿entiendes?
[Estribillo: Kid Cudi]
No hay duda de lo que si lo quiero, y lo necesito
Puedo sentirlo alejándose lentamente de mí
Estoy al límite, ¿por qué estás jugando? estoy diciendo
Nunca te dejaré vivir esto en lo bajo, bajo, bajo
[Verso 2: Kanye West]
¿Es el hip-hop solo un eufemismo para una nueva religión?
La música soul de los esclavos que le falta a la juventud
Pero esto es más que solo mi camino hacia la redención
Malcolm West tenía a toda la nación en posición de firmes
Mientras esté en el Polo Norte sonriendo, ellos piensan que me tienen
Pero intentarían romperme si alguna vez ven a un negro como yo
Pensé que elegí un campo donde no me pudieran despedir
Si un negro no está disparando en un salto, corre en una pista
Pero este loco está en la cima del monte Olimpo
Listo para los juegos del mundo, estos son mis Juegos Olímpicos
Les hacemos decir a la puta porque el juego es tan chulo
Ahoga a un escritor de South Park con un palito de pescado
Insistí en levantarme de esta polla
Y estas drogas, los negros no pueden resistirlo
Recuérdame cuando intentaron que Ali se alistara
Si alguna vez no fui el mejor, negro, debí haberlo perdido
[Estribillo: Kid Cudi]
No hay duda de lo que si lo quiero, y lo necesito
Puedo sentirlo alejándose lentamente de mí
Estoy al límite, ¿por qué estás jugando? estoy diciendo
Nunca te dejaré vivir esto en lo bajo, bajo, bajo
[Verso 3: Kanye West]
Necesito más bebidas y menos luces
Y esa chica de American Apparel en solo mallas
Ella le dijo al director que intentaba entrar en una escuela
Dijo: "Quítate los vasos y métete en la piscina"
Ha pasado un tiempo desde que miré el tubo
Porque como un set de Crip, tengo demasiados blues para más malas noticias
Estaba mirando mi currículum, sintiéndome realmente fresco hoy
Reescriben la historia, no creo en el ayer
¿Y qué es un Black Beatle de todos modos, una maldita cucaracha?
Supongo que por eso me tienen sentado en el puto entrenador
Mi chico dijo que necesito un enfoque diferente
Porque la gente me mira como si estuviera inhalando coca
Ya no es gracioso, prueba diferentes chistes
Diles abrazar y besar mi trasero, X y O
Y besar el anillo mientras lo hacen, hacer lo mío mientras lo tengo
Toca cuerdas para el final dramático de esa mierda loca
Actúa como si no tuviera un cinturón en dos clases
No lo tengo, voy tras quien lo tenga
Voy a por quien sea, ¿quién lo tiene?
Estás explotando, eso es bueno, fantástico
Que, todos ustedes, es así, todos ustedes
Realmente no me importa un carajo en absoluto
Porque las mismas personas que intentaron engañarme
Olvidaron dos cosas, mis bolas negras
[Estribillo: Kid Cudi]
No hay duda de lo que si lo quiero, y lo necesito
Puedo sentirlo alejándose lentamente de mí
Estoy al límite, ¿por qué estás jugando? estoy diciendo
Nunca te dejaré vivir esto en lo bajo, bajo, bajo
[Verso 4: Raekwon]
Ayy, yo
Hice copos de Timbs, viví en lentes, chico
Trajes de Armani, frutas frescas, botas Bally y Benzes
Contando, fumando, un puño
Vive como un Jaguar rojo, un bolso Louis, agarrando un porro, que se joda
Cocine al vapor alrededor de ciento a unos Losers
Cometas a las cárceles, comprando sudaderas, corriendo en Stetson
El juego del sombrero del negro fue especial
Coincidía con cada par de Nike negras, tirando dados por decimales
La cabeza mayor, la cabeza más audaz, entrenaría a la cabeza de un soldado
Asegúrate de que esté en el campo, no de un soldado muerto
Eso significaba un código rojo, doblado de la mofeta negra
El holandés negro, detrás del viejo cobertizo
Si no puedes vivir, estás muriendo, das o compras
Mantenlo real o mantenlo en movimiento, sigue moliendo
Sigue brillando, para cada joven, este es un plan
Aprende de otros como tus hermanos Rae y Kanye
[Estribillo: Kid Cudi]
No en vano, lo he previsto, lo soñé
Puedo sentirlo alejándose lentamente de mí
No hay más posibilidades, si arruinas esto, eres falso
Nunca te dejaré vivir esto en lo bajo, bajo, bajo
Ain't no question if I want it, I need it
Não há dúvida de que eu quero, eu preciso
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
Eu posso sentir isso lentamente se afastando de mim
I'm on the edge, so why you playing? I'm saying
Estou à beira, então por que você está brincando? Estou dizendo
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
Eu nunca vou deixar você esquecer isso, isso, isso
Not for nothing I've foreseen it, I dreamed it
Não é por nada que eu previ, eu sonhei
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
Eu posso sentir isso lentamente se afastando de mim
No more chances if you blow this, you bogus
Não há mais chances se você estragar isso, você é falso
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
Eu nunca vou deixar você esquecer isso, isso, isso
Penitentiary chances, the devil dances
Chances de penitenciária, o diabo dança
And eventually answers to the call of Autumn
E eventualmente responde ao chamado do outono
All of them fallin' for the love of ballin'
Todos eles caem pelo amor de jogar
Got caught with thirty rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin
Foi pego com trinta pedras, o policial parece com Alec Baldwin
Inter-century anthems based off inner-city tantrums
Hinos inter-século baseados em birras da cidade interior
Based off the way we was branded
Baseado na maneira como fomos marcados
Face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon
Encare isso, Jerome recebe mais tempo do que Brandon
And at the airport they check all through my bag and
E no aeroporto eles revistam toda a minha bagagem

Mas continuamos vencendo, esta semana tem sido uma má massagem
I need a happy ending and a new beginning
Eu preciso de um final feliz e um novo começo
And a new fitted and some job opportunities that's lucrative

This the real world, homie, school finished

They done stole your dreams, you'ont know who did it

Is hip hop, just a euphemism for a new religion?

The soul music for the slaves that the youth is missing

Malcolm West had the whole nation standing at attention

As long as I'm in Polos smilin' they think they got me
Enquanto eu estiver sorrindo em Polos, eles acham que me pegaram
But they'd try to crack me if they ever see a black me
Mas eles tentariam me quebrar se vissem um eu negro
I thought I chose a field where they couldn't sack me
Eu pensei que escolhi um campo onde eles não poderiam me demitir
If a nigga ain't shootin' a jump shot, running a track meet
Se um mano não está atirando uma bola de basquete, correndo em uma pista de corrida
But this pimp is, at the top of Mount Olympus
Mas este cafetão está, no topo do Monte Olimpo
Ready for the world's game, this is my Olympics
Pronto para o jogo do mundo, esta é a minha Olimpíada
We make 'em say ho 'cause the game's so pimpish

Ending of that wack shit
Fim dessa merda sem graça
Act like I ain't had a belt in two classes
Aja como se eu não tivesse um cinto em duas aulas
I ain't got it I'm coming after whoever who has it
Eu não tenho, estou atrás de quem tem
I'm coming after whoever, who has it?
Estou atrás de quem tem?

Você está bombando, isso é bom, fantástico

Ciò significava codice rosso, piegato dallo skunk nero
The black Dutch, back of the old shed
Il Dutch nero, dietro il vecchio capanno
If you can't live, you dying
Se non puoi vivere, stai morendo
You give or buy in
Dai o compri
Keep it real or keep it moving, keep grinding

Continua a brillare, a ogni giovane, questo è un piano
Learn from others like your brothers Rae and Kanye
Impara dagli altri come i tuoi fratelli Rae e Kanye
Not for nothing I've foreseen it, I dreamed it
Non per niente l'ho previsto, l'ho sognato
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
Posso sentirlo lentamente allontanarsi da me
No more chances if you blow this, you bogus
Nessuna altra possibilità se fai saltare tutto, sei falso
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
Non ti lascerò mai vivere questo, mai, mai
Ain't no question if I want it, I need it
Tidak ada pertanyaan jika aku menginginkannya, aku membutuhkannya
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
Aku bisa merasakan itu perlahan menjauh dariku
I'm on the edge, so why you playing? I'm saying
Aku di tepi, jadi mengapa kamu bermain-main? Aku berkata
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
Aku tidak akan pernah membiarkanmu melupakan ini, turun, turun
Not for nothing I've foreseen it, I dreamed it
Bukan tanpa alasan aku telah memprediksinya, aku memimpikannya
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
Aku bisa merasakan itu perlahan menjauh dariku
No more chances if you blow this, you bogus
Tidak ada kesempatan lagi jika kamu gagal, kamu palsu
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
Aku tidak akan pernah membiarkanmu melupakan ini, turun, turun

Kemungkinan penjara, setan menari

Dan akhirnya menjawab panggilan musim gugur

Semua dari mereka jatuh cinta dengan bola

Is hip hop, just a euphemism for a new religion?
Apakah hip hop, hanya eufemisme untuk agama baru?
The soul music for the slaves that the youth is missing
Musik jiwa untuk budak yang hilang oleh pemuda
But this is more than just my road to redemption
Tapi ini lebih dari sekadar jalan penebusanku
Malcolm West had the whole nation standing at attention
Malcolm West membuat seluruh bangsa berdiri tegak
As long as I'm in Polos smilin' they think they got me
Selama aku mengenakan Polo dan tersenyum mereka pikir mereka mengerti aku
But they'd try to crack me if they ever see a black me
Tapi mereka akan mencoba memecahkanku jika mereka melihat versi hitamku
I thought I chose a field where they couldn't sack me
Aku pikir aku memilih bidang di mana mereka tidak bisa menjatuhkanku
If a nigga ain't shootin' a jump shot, running a track meet
Jika seorang pria tidak menembak bola basket, berlari di trek

Aku sudah membeli Timbs, yang hidup dalam lensa
Kid, Armani suits, fresh fruits, Bally boots and Benzes

Counting up, smoking, one cuff
Menghitung, merokok, satu manset
Live as a red Jag', a Louis bag, grabbing a blunt, fuck it
Hidup sebagai Jag' merah, tas Louis, mengambil blunt, sialan
Steam about a hundred and one L's
Menguap sekitar seratus satu L
Kites off the jails, buying sweats, running up in Stetson

[Refräng: Kid Cudi]
Det är ingen fråga om jag vill ha det, jag behöver det
Jag kan känna det glida sakta ifrån mig
Jag är på kanten, så varför leker du? Jag säger
Jag kommer aldrig låta dig leva så här nere, nere, nere
Inte för inget, jag har förutsett det, jag har drömt det
Jag kan känna det glida sakta ifrån mig
Inga mer chanser, om du förstör det här, du falsk
Jag kommer aldrig låta dig leva så här nere, nere, nere
[Vers 1: Kanye West]
Straffchanser, djävulen dansar
Och så småningom svarar på höstens kallelse
Alla faller dе för kärleken till spelеt
Fångades med tre kilo, snuten ser ut som Alec Baldwin
Sekelsånger baserade på raserianfall i innerstaden
Baserat på hur vi var märkta
Inse det, Jerome får mer tid än Brandon
Och på flygplatsen, kollar de igenom min väska
Och säger att det är slumpmässigt
Men vi fortsätter vinna
Den här veckan har vart en dålig massage, jag behöver ett lyckligt slut
Och en ny början och en ny monterad
Och några jobbmöjligheter som är lukrativa
Det här är den verkliga världen, bror, skolan slut
De stal dina drömmar, du vet inte vem som gjorde det
Jag behandlar pengarna som regeringen behandlar AIDS
Jag kommer inte att vara nöjd förrän alla mina niggas får det, förstår du?
[Refräng: Kid Cudi]
Det är ingen fråga om jag vill ha det, jag behöver det
Jag kan känna det glida sakta ifrån mig
Jag är på kanten, så varför leker du? Jag säger
Jag kommer aldrig låta dig leva så här nere, nere, nere
[Vers 2: Kanye West]
Är hiphop bara en eufemism för en ny religion?
Slavarnas soulmusik som ungdomen saknar
Men det här är mer än bara min väg till försoning
Malcolm West hade hela nationen stående på uppmärksamhet
Så länge jag är i Polo och ler, tror de att de har mig
Men de skulle försöka knäcka mig om de någonsin ser en svart mig
Jag trodde att jag valde ett område där de inte kunde sparka mig
Om en nigga inte skjuter ett hoppskott, springer du en bana
Men denna pimp är på toppen av Olympus
Redo för världens spel, detta är mitt OS
Vi får dem att säga hora för att spelet är så pimpiskt
Kväv en South Park-författare med en fiskpinne
Jag insisterade på att gå av kuken
Och dessa droger, niggas kan inte motstå det
Påminn mig när de försökte få Ali värvad
Om jag någonsin inte varit störst, nigga, måste jag ha missat det
[Refräng: Kid Cudi]
Det är ingen fråga om jag vill ha det, jag behöver det
Jag kan känna det glida sakta ifrån mig
Jag är på kanten, så varför leker du? Jag säger
Jag kommer aldrig låta dig leva så här nere, nere, nere
[Vers 3: Kanye West]
Jag behöver mer drycker och mindre ljud
Och den American Apparel tjejen i bara trikåer
Hon sa till regissören hon försöker komma in i skolan
Han sa, "Ta av glasögonen och hoppa in i poolen"
Det har gått ett tag sen jag såg på nyheterna
För som en Crip, jag är för ledsen för fler dåliga nyheter
Jag kollade på mitt CV, känner mig riktigt fräsch idag
De skriver om historia, jag tror inte på igår
Och vad är en svart Beatle iallafall, en fucking kackerlacka?
Jag antar det är varför jag bara får sitta i fucking soffan
Min kille sa jag behöver ett annat tillvägagångssätt
För folk kollar på mig som jag sniffar kokain
Det är inte roligt längre, försök andra skämt
Säger till de krama och kyss min röv, X och O
Och kyss ringen medans de är där, gör min sak medans jag har det
Spelar stråkar för ett dramatiskt slut
Låtsats som om jag inte hade ett bälte i två klasser
Jag har inte det, jag kommer efter vem som har det
Du börjar bli stor, det är bra, fantastiskt
Det, allihopa, det är så, allihopa
Jag bryr mig inte alls om det
För samma folk som försökte gå emot mig
Glömde två saker, mina svarta bollar
[Refräng: Kid Cudi]
Det är ingen fråga om jag vill ha det, jag behöver det
Jag kan känna det glida sakta ifrån mig
Jag är på kanten, så varför leker du? Jag säger
Jag kommer aldrig låta dig leva så här nere, nere, nere
[Vers 4: Raekwon]
Ayy, yo
Jag har slutat köpa Timbs, levde i linser, mannen
Armani kostymer, fräscha frukter, Bally stövlar, och Benzes
Räknar upp, röker, ett blås
Lev som en röd Jaguar, en Louis väska, tar en joint, fuck it
Rökt typ hundraen joints
Drakar till fängelser, köper tröjor, springer in i Stetson
Nigga hatspel var speciellt
Den matcha varje svarta par av Nikes, kastar tärningar för decimaler
Den äldre, modigare, skulle träna en soldat
Var säker han i rätt fält, ingen soldat död
Det betyder kod röd, böjde av sig den svarta skunken
En svart Dutch, i det gamla fodralet
Om du inte kan leva, dör du, du ger eller köper
Håll det äkta eller håll det rörande, fortsätt jobba
Fortsätt skina, till varje ung man, detta är planen
Lär från andra som din bror Rae och Kanye
[Refräng: Kid Cudi]
Det är ingen fråga om jag vill ha det, jag behöver det
Jag kan känna det glida sakta ifrån mig
Jag är på kanten, så varför leker du? Jag säger
Jag kommer aldrig låta dig leva så här nere, nere, nere
[Nakarat: Kid Cudi]
İstiyo'sam sorun yok, ihtiyacım var
Yavaş yavaş benden uzaklaştığını hissedebiliyorum
Kenardayım, öyleyse neden oynuyo'sun? Söylüyorum
Bu kadar çökmüş yaşamana asla izin vermeyeceğim, çökmüş, çökmüş
Boşuna değil, öngördüm, hayal ettim
Yavaş yavaş benden uzaklaştığını hissedebiliyorum
Eğer bunu mahvedersen daha fazla şans yok, seni sahtekar
Bu kadar çökmüş yaşamana asla izin vermeyeceğim, çökmüş, çökmüş
[Bölüm 1: Kanye West]
Hapishane şansı, şeytan dans eder
Ve sonunda sonbaharın çağrısına cevap verir
Hepsi gösteriş aşkından düştü
Otuz uyuşturucuyla yakalandım, polis Alec Baldwin'e benziyor
Şehir içi öfkе nöbetlerine dayanan yüzyıllar arası marşlar
Markalaşma şеklimize dayanan
Kabul et, Jerome daha fazla ceza alıyo' Brandon'dan
Ve havaalanında, çantamı kontrol ediyo'lar
Ve gel bana bunun rastgele olduğunu söyle
Ama biz kazanmaya devam ediyoruz
Bu hafta kötü bi' masaj gibiydi, mutlu bi' sona ihtiyacım var
Ve yeni bi' başlangıç ve yeni döşeli
Ve kazançlı olan bazı iş fırsatları
Bu gerçek dünya dostum, okul bitti
Hayallerini çaldılar ve kimin yaptığını bilmiyo'sun
Paraya, hükümetin AIDS'e davrandığı gibi davranıyorum
Bütün zencilerim buna sahip olana kadar tatmin olmayacağım, anladın mı?
[Nakarat: Kid Cudi]
İstiyo'sam sorun yok, ihtiyacım var
Yavaş yavaş benden uzaklaştığını hissedebiliyorum
Kenardayım, öyleyse neden oynuyo'sun? Söylüyorum
Bu kadar çökmüş yaşamana asla izin vermeyeceğim, çökmüş, çökmüş
[Bölüm 2: Kanye West]
Hip-hop sadece yeni bi' din için bi' örtmece mi?
Gençliğin özlediği kölelerin soul müziği
Ama bu benim kurtuluş yolumdan daha fazlası
Malcolm West bütün ulusu ayakta tuttu
Polo'da gülümsediğim sürece beni anladıklarını sanıyo'lar
Ama eğer siyah beni görselerdi bana kırbaç vurmaya çalışırlardı
Beni kovamayacakları bir alan seçtiğimi sanıyordum
Eğer bi' zenci uzun atlama yapmıyo'sa, atletizm karşılaşmasına katılmıyo'sa
Ama bu pezevenk Olympus Dağı'nın tepesinde
Dünyanın oyunlarına hazır, bu benim olimpiyatlarım
Onlara sürtük dediririz çünkü oyun çok pezevenktir
South Park yazarını balık sopasıyla boğ
Bu sikten kalkmak için ısrar ettim
Ve bu ilaçlar, zenciler buna direnemez
Ali'yi askere almaya çalıştıklarında bana hatırlat
Eğer en büyük olmasaydım zenci, kaçırmış olmalıyım
[Nakarat: Kid Cudi]
İstiyo'sam sorun yok, ihtiyacım var
Yavaş yavaş benden uzaklaştığını hissedebiliyorum
Kenardayım, öyleyse neden oynuyo'sun? Söylüyorum
Bu kadar çökmüş yaşamana asla izin vermeyeceğim, çökmüş, çökmüş
[Bölüm 3: Kanye West]
Daha fazla içkiye ve daha az ışığa ihtiyacım var
Ve sadece kilotlu çorap giyen o American Apparel kızına
Kız, yöneticiye bir okula girmeye çalıştığını söyledi
Adam, "Gözlüklerini çıkar ve havuza gir." dedi
Televizyonu izlediğimden beri bi' süre oldu
Çünkü bi' Crip seti gibi, daha fazla kötü haberle daha çok mavi var
Özgeçmişime bakıyo'dum, bugün gerçekten zinde hissediyorum
Tarihi yeniden yazıyo'lar, düne inanmıyorum
Black Beatle da ne ki, lanet bir hamamböceği mi?
Sanırım bu yüzden beni kahrolası ekonomi sınıfına oturttular
Adamım farklı bir yaklaşıma ihtiyacım olduğunu söyledi
Çünkü insanlar bana kokain çekiyormuşum gibi bakıyor
Artık komik değil, farklı şakalar deneyin
Onlara ''sarıl ve kıçımı öp'' de, X ve O
Ve onlar varken yüzüğü öp, ben varken işimi yap
O boktan şeyin dramatik sonu için dizeleri çal
İki klasmanda kemerim yokmuş gibi davran
Bende yoksa, kimde varsa peşinden geliyorum
Kimin peşinden geliyorum, kimde var?
Patlıyorsun, bu iyi, harika
Bu, hepiniz, bu böyle, hepiniz
Bu konuyu gerçekten hiç takmıyorum
Çünkü beni karalamaya çalışanlar aynı insanlar
İki şeyi unuttum, kara taşaklarım
[Nakarat: Kid Cudi]
İstiyo'sam sorun yok, ihtiyacım var
Yavaş yavaş benden uzaklaştığını hissedebiliyorum
Kenardayım, öyleyse neden oynuyo'sun? Söylüyorum
Bu kadar çökmüş yaşamana asla izin vermeyeceğim, çökmüş, çökmüş
[Bölüm 4: Raekwon]
Eyy, yo
Kopmuş Timblerle yakalandım, lenslerde yaşadım evlat
Armani takımları, taze meyveler, Bally botları ve Benzler
Saydım, tüttürdüm, bir manşet
Kırmızı bi' Jag', bi' Louis çantası olarak yaşa, bir blunt kap, siktir et
Yaklaşık yüz bir L'i buharla
Hapishanelere uçurtma uçur, sweat satın al, Stetson'da koş
Zenci şapka oyunu özeldi
Her siyah Nike çiftiyle eşleşti, ondalık sayılar için zar attı
Daha yaşlı kafa, daha cesur kafa, bi' asker kafası yetiştirirdi
Tam alanda olduğundan, bi' askerin ölmediğinden emin ol
Bu kırmızı kod anlamına geliyordu, siyah kokarcayı eğdi
Siyah Hollandalı, eski kulübenin arkasında
Yaşayamazsan ölürsün, verirsin ya da satın alırsın
Gerçek olsun ya da devam etsin, taşlamaya devam edin
Parlamaya devam et, bu bi' plan her genç adam için
Kardeşlerin Rae ve Kanye gibi diğerlerinden öğren
[Nakarat: Kid Cudi]
Boşuna değil, öngördüm, hayal ettim
Yavaş yavaş benden uzaklaştığını hissedebiliyorum
Eğer bunu mahvedersen daha fazla şans yok, seni sahtekar
Bu kadar çökmüş yaşamana asla izin vermeyeceğim, çökmüş, çökmüş
[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
Nu este nicio întrebare dacă o vreau, am nevoie de ea
Simt că se îndepărtează încet de mine
Sunt la limită, deci de ce joci? Doar spun
Nu te voi lăsa niciodată să trăiești așa de jos, jos, jos
Nu degeaba, l-am prevăzut, l-am visat
Simt că se îndepărtează încet de mine
Gata cu șansele, dacă o dai în bară, ești fictiv
Nu te voi lăsa niciodată să trăiești așa de jos, jos, jos
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Șanse penitenciare, dansul diavolului
Și în cele din urmă răspunde la chemarea în declin
Toți aceștia cad în dragostea pentru succes
Am fost prins cu treizeci de grame, polițistul arată ca Alec Baldwin
Imnurile secular se bazează în afara accesului din interiorul orașului
Pe baza modului în care am fost marcați
Cu adevărat, Jerome are o sentință mai lungă decât Brandon
Și la aeroport, îmi verifică prin geantă
Și spune-mi că este întâmplător, dar rămânem câștigători
Săptămâna aceasta a fost un masaj prost, am nevoie de un final fericit
Și un nou început și un nou echipament
Și câteva oportunități de muncă care sunt profitabile
Asta e lumea reală, frate, termină școala
Ei ți-au furat visele, nu știi cine a făcut-o
Tratez banii așa cum guvernul tratează SIDA
Nu voi fi mulțumit până când toți negrii mei o vor avea?
[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
Nu este nicio întrebare dacă o vreau, am nevoie de ea
Simt că se îndepărtează încet de mine
Sunt la limită, deci de ce joci? Doar spun
Nu te voi lăsa niciodată să trăiești așa de jos, jos, jos
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Este Hip-Hop-ul doar un eufemism pentru o nouă religie?
Muzica Soal a sclavilor care tinerilor le lipsește
Dar acesta este mai mult decât drumul meu spre răscumpărare
Malcolm West a avut toată națiunea atentă
Atâta timp cât sunt în Polo zâmbind, ei cred că m-au prins
Dar ar încerca să mă lovească dacă mă vor vedea vreodată
Am crezut că am ales un câmp în care nu mă pot demite
Dacă un negru nu trage la coș, aleargă o pistă
Dar acest proxenet se află în vârful muntelui Olimp
Gata pentru jocurile din lume, aceasta este olimpiada mea
Îi facem să spună târfă, pentru că jocul este atât de prost
Sufocați un scriitor din South Park cu un bețișor de pește
Am insistat să mă ridic de pe această pulă
Și aceste medicamente, negrii nu-i pot rezista
Amintește-mi când au încercat să îț înroleze pe Muhammad Ali
Dacă n-am fost vreodată cel mai mare, negrule, trebuie să-l fi ratat
[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
Nu este nicio întrebare dacă o vreau, am nevoie de ea
Simt că se îndepărtează încet de mine
Sunt la limită, deci de ce joci? Doar spun
Nu te voi lăsa niciodată să trăiești așa de jos, jos, jos
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
Am nevoie de mai multe băuturi și mai puține lumini
Și fata aia din American Apparel în colanți
I-a spus directorului că va încerca să intre într-o școală
El a spus: "Scoate-i ochelarii și intră în piscină"
A trecut ceva timp de când nu m-am uitat la TV
Ca și grupul Crip, am prea mult albastru pentru alte vești proaste
Mă uitam la CV-ul meu, azi simțindu-mă foarte proaspăt
Ei rescriu istoria, nu cred în ieri
Și oricum cine sunt Beatle-și negrii, niște gândaci?
Cred că de aceea m-au făcut să stau, dracu' ca un antrenor
Omul meu mi-a spus că am nevoie de o abordare diferită
Pentru că oamenii se uită la mine de parcă aș fi adulmecat cocaină
Nu mai este amuzant, încercați alte glume
Spune-le șă îmbrățișeze și să-mi sărute fundul, X și O
Și să-mi sărute inelul când ajung la el, făcându-mi treaba când reușesc
Cântând la corzi pentru finalul dramatic al acelei porcării
Acționează ca și cum nu aș fi avut o centură în două clase
Nu o am, vin după oricine o are
Vin după oricine, cine o are?
Ai început să crești, e bine, fantastic
Asta, toți, sunteți așa, toți
Nu prea îmi pasă de asta deloc
Pentru că aceiași oameni care au încercat să mă împiedice
Au uitat de două lucruri, coaiele mele Negre
[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
Nu este nicio întrebare dacă o vreau, am nevoie de ea
Simt că se îndepărtează încet de mine
Sunt la limită, deci de ce joci? Doar spun
Nu te voi lăsa niciodată să trăiești așa de jos, jos, jos
[Verse 4: Raekwon]
Ayy, yo
[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
Nu degeaba, l-am prevăzut, l-am visat
Simt că se îndepărtează încet de mine
Gata cu șansele, dacă o dai în bară, ești fictiv
Nu te voi lăsa niciodată să trăiești așa de jos, jos, jos
