When the lights shut off
And it's my turn to settle down
My main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me

I said when the lights shut off
And it's my turn to settle down
My main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me

I woke up this morning and figured I'd call you
In case I'm not here tomorrow
I'm hoping that I can borrow a piece of mind
I'm behind on what's really important
My mind is really distorted
I find nothing but trouble in my life
I'm fortunate you believe in a dream
This orphanage we call a ghetto is quite a routine
And last night was just another distraction
Or a reaction of what we consider madness
I know exactly what happened
You ran outside when you heard my brother cry for help
Held him like a newborn baby and made him feel
Like everything was alright
And a fight he tried to put up, but the type
Of bullet that stuck had went against his will
As blood spilled on your hands
My plans rather vindictive
Everybody's a victim in my eyes
When I ride it's a murderous rhythm
And outside became pitch black
A demon glued to my back whispering, "Get 'em"
I got 'em, and I ain't give a fuck
That same mentality that told my brother not to duck
In actuality it's a trip how we trip off of colors
I wonder if I'll ever discover
A passion like you and recover
The life that I knew as a young'n
In pajamas and Dun-ta-duns
When thunder comes it rains cats and dogs
Dumb niggas like me never prosper
Prognosis of a problem child
I'm proud and well devoted
This Piru shit been in me forever
So forever I'ma push it, wherever whenever
And I love you 'cause you love my brother like you did
Just promise me you'll tell this story when you make it big
And if I die before your album drop I hope

Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me
I said when the lights shut off and it's my turn
To settle down, my main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me

You wrote a song about my sister on your tape
And called it Section.80, the message resembled Brenda's Got a Baby
What's crazy was, I was hearin' about it
But doubted your ignorance, how could you ever
Just put her on blast and shit?
Judging her past and shit?
Well it's completely my future
A nigga behind me right now asking for ass and shit
And I'ma need that forty dollars even if I gotta
Fuck, suck and swallow in the parking lot
Gonzales Park, I'm followed by a married man, a father of three
My titties bounce on the cadence of his tingling keys
Matter of fact he my favorite 'cause he tip me with E's
He got a cousin named David and I seen him last week
This is the life of another girl damaged by the system
These foster homes, I run away and never do miss 'em
See, my hormones just run away and if I can get em back
To where they used to be then I'll probably be in the denim
Of a family gene that show women how to be woman, or better yet a leader
You need her to learn something, then you probably need to beat her
That's how I was taught
Three niggas in one room, first time I was tossed
And I'm exhausted
But fuck that "Sorry for your loss" shit
My sister died in vain, but what point are you trying to gain
If you can't fit the pumps I walk in?
I'll wait
Your rebuttal a little too late
And if you have a album date, just make sure I'm not in the song
Cause I don't need the attention bring enough of that on my own
And matter fact did I mention that I physically feel great?
A doctor's approval is a waste of time, I know I'm straight
I'll probably live longer than you and never fade away
I'll never fade away, I'll never fade away
I know my fate, and I'm on the grind for this cake
I'ma get or die trying, I'm eyeing every male gender with intentions of buying
You lying to these motherfuckers, talking 'bout you can help with my story
You can help me if you sell this pussy for me, nigga
Don't ignore me, nigga, fuck your glory, nigga, you ain't shit

When the lights shut off
And its my turn to settle down
My main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me
I said when the lights shut off and it's my turn
To settle down, my main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me

Sometimes I look in a mirror and ask myself
Am I really scared of passing away
If it's today I hope I hear a
Cry out from Heaven so loud it can water down a demon
With the Holy Ghost 'til it drown in the blood of Jesus
I wrote some raps that make sure that my lifeline
Reekin' the scent of a reaper, ensuring that my allegiance
With the other side may come soon
And if I'm doomed, may the wound
Help my mother be blessed for many moons
I suffer a lot
And every day that glass mirror get tougher to watch
I tie my stomach in knots
And I'm sure not why I'm infatuated with death
My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats
That can come about
'Cause the tongue is mighty powerful
And I can name a list of your favorites that probably vouch
Maybe 'cause I'm dreamer and sleep is the cousin of death
Really stuck in the scheme of, wondering when I'ma rest
And you're right, your brother was a brother to me
And your sister's situation was the one that put me
In a direction to speak on something that's realer than the TV screen
By any means, wasn't trying to offend or come between
Her personal life, I was like "It need to be told"
Cursing the life of twenty generations after her soul
Exactly what'd happened if I ain't continue rappin'
Or steady being distracted by money drugs and four
Fives, I count lives all on these songs
Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you'll be strong
Fighting for your rights, even when you're wrong
And hope that at least one of you sing about me when I'm gone
Am I worth it?
Did I put enough work in?

When the lights shut off
And its my turn to settle down
My main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me

Promise that you'll sing about me forever
Promise that you will sing about me for- (ooh)
Promise that you'll sing about me forever
Promise that you will sing about me for- (ooh)
Promise that you'll sing about me forever
Promise that you will sing about me for- (ooh)

Ay, ay, ay, Where you 'bout to go?
Nigga, the homie's brother
Nigga, right here, he gone, my nigga, he gone!
We on the block right now my nigga
Like we, nigga we right here
"Nigga, they just killed the homie's brother, my nigga
We right here on the block, my nigga
Al-alright, nigga, nigga just call me, alright, alright
Just call me back, man, just call me back
Arghh! Fuck!
So what we gon' do, my niggas? What we gon' do?
Bro, we can go back right now, my nigga
Like nigga, I don't give a fuck, my nigga, we can go back right now
Fuck! I'm tired of this shit! I'm tired of fuckin' runnin'
I'm tired of this shit! My brother, homie!

Tired of running
Tired of hunting
My own kind
But retiring nothing
Tires are steady screeching, the driver is rubbing
Hands on the wheel, who said we wasn't
Dying of thirst
Dying of thirst
Dying of thirst

Dope on the corner
Look at the coroner
Daughter is dead
Mother is mourning her
Strayed bullets
Ak bullets
Resuscitation was waiting patiently but they couldn't
Bring her back
Who got the footage?
Channel 9
Cameras is looking
It's hard to channel your energy when you know you're crooked
Banana clip, split his banana pudding
I'm like Tre, that's Cuba Gooding
I know I'm good at
Dying of thirst
Dying of thirst
Dying of thirst

How many sins?
I'm running out
How many sins?
I lost count
Dreams of ballin' like Spalding
But only shotty bounce
The reaper calling
I'm cottonmouth
Money is power, yours is ours
Lay with a snitch, die with a coward
Hope we get rich, hope we can tower
Over the city with vanity with the music louder
The same song
A black flower
I'll show you how to
Dye your thirst
Dye your thirst
Dye your thirst

What are we doing?
Who are we fooling?
Hell is hot, fire is proven
To burn for eternity, return of the student
That never learned how to live right just by how to shoot it
Tired of running, choirs is humming
Tell us to visit, we lying about coming
Now back to business, loading the guns in
Back of the Buick, your hood is viewed
And the beef is bubbling
It's no discussion, hereditary
All of my cousins
Dying of thirst
Dying of thirst
Dying of thirst

Too many sins
I'm running out
Somebody send
Me a well for the drought
See, all I know, is taking notes
On taking this life for granted
Granted, if he provoke
My best days, I stress days (Lord forgive me for all my sins for I not know)
My best days, I stress days
Say "Fuck the world," my sex slave
Money, pussy and greed was my next crave
Whatever it is, know it's my next grave
Tired of running, tired of running
Tired of tumbling, tired of running
Tired of tumbling
Back once my momma say
"See a pastor, give me a promise
What if today was the rapture, and you completely tarnished
The truth will set you free, so to me be completely honest
You dying of thirst
You dying of thirst
So hop in that water, and pray that it works"

Fuck! I'm tired of this shit!
I'm tired of fuckin' runnin', I'm tired of this shit!
My brother, homie!
Is that what I think that is?
I know that's not what I think that is
Why are you so angry?
See, you young men are dying of thirst
Do you know what that means?
That means you need water, holy water
You need to be baptized, with the spirit of the Lord
Do you want to receive God as your personal savior?

Okay, repeat after me
"Lord God, I come to You a sinner."
(Lord God, I come to You a sinner)
"And I humbly repent for my sins"
(And I humbly repent for my sins)
"I believe that Jesus is Lord"
(I believe that Jesus is Lord)
"I believe you raised Him from the dead"
(I believe you raised Him from the dead)
"I would ask that Jesus come into my life"
(I would ask that Jesus come in my life)
"And be my Lord and Savior"
(And be my Lord and Savior)
"I receive Jesus to take control of my life"
(I receive Jesus to take control of my life)
"And that I may live for Him from this day forward"
(And that I may live for Him from this day forward)
"Thank you, Lord Jesus
For saving me with Your precious blood"
(Thank you, Lord Jesus
For saving me with Your precious blood)
"In Jesus name, amen"
(In Jesus name, amen)
Alright now, remember this day
The start of a new life, your real life

When the lights shut off

Quando as luzes se apagam

And it's my turn to settle down

E é a minha vez de me acalmar

My main concern

Minha principal preocupação

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometa que você vai cantar sobre mim

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometa que você vai cantar sobre mim

I said when the lights shut off

Eu disse quando as luzes se apagam

And it's my turn to settle down

E é a minha vez de me acalmar

My main concern

Minha principal preocupação

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometa que você vai cantar sobre mim

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometa que você vai cantar sobre mim

I woke up this morning and figured I'd call you

Acordei esta manhã e pensei em te ligar

In case I'm not here tomorrow

Caso eu não esteja aqui amanhã

I'm hoping that I can borrow a piece of mind

Estou esperando que eu possa pegar emprestado um pouco de paz de espírito

I'm behind on what's really important

Estou atrasado no que é realmente importante

My mind is really distorted

Minha mente está realmente distorcida

I find nothing but trouble in my life

Não encontro nada além de problemas na minha vida

I'm fortunate you believe in a dream

Tenho sorte de você acreditar em um sonho

This orphanage we call a ghetto is quite a routine

Este orfanato que chamamos de gueto é bastante rotineiro

And last night was just another distraction

E a noite passada foi apenas outra distração

Or a reaction of what we consider madness

Ou uma reação ao que consideramos loucura

I know exactly what happened

Eu sei exatamente o que aconteceu

You ran outside when you heard my brother cry for help

Você correu para fora quando ouviu meu irmão pedir ajuda

Held him like a newborn baby and made him feel

Segurou-o como um bebê recém-nascido e fez com que ele se sentisse

Like everything was alright

Como se tudo estivesse bem

And a fight he tried to put up, but the type

E uma luta que ele tentou travar, mas o tipo

Of bullet that stuck had went against his will

De bala que ficou presa foi contra a sua vontade

As blood spilled on your hands

Enquanto o sangue derramava em suas mãos

My plans rather vindictive

Meus planos são bastante vingativos

Everybody's a victim in my eyes

Todos são vítimas aos meus olhos

When I ride it's a murderous rhythm

Quando eu ando, é um ritmo assassino

And outside became pitch black

E lá fora ficou completamente escuro

A demon glued to my back whispering, "Get 'em"

Um demônio grudado nas minhas costas sussurrando, "Pegue-os"

I got 'em, and I ain't give a fuck

Eu os peguei, e eu não dou a mínima

That same mentality that told my brother not to duck

Essa mesma mentalidade que disse ao meu irmão para não se abaixar

In actuality it's a trip how we trip off of colors

Na realidade, é estranho como nos preocupamos com cores

I wonder if I'll ever discover

Me pergunto se algum dia vou descobrir

A passion like you and recover

Uma paixão como a sua e me recuperar

The life that I knew as a young'n

A vida que eu conhecia quando era pequeno

In pajamas and Dun-ta-duns

Em pijamas e Dun-ta-duns

When thunder comes it rains cats and dogs

Quando o trovão vem, chove gatos e cachorros

Dumb niggas like me never prosper

Idiotas como eu nunca prosperam

Prognosis of a problem child

Prognóstico de uma criança problema

I'm proud and well devoted

Estou orgulhoso e bem dedicado

This Piru shit been in me forever

Essa merda de Piru está em mim para sempre

So forever I'ma push it, wherever whenever

Então para sempre vou empurrá-la, onde quer que seja, quando for

And I love you 'cause you love my brother like you did

E eu te amo porque você ama meu irmão como você fez

Just promise me you'll tell this story when you make it big

Só me prometa que você vai contar essa história quando você se tornar famoso

And if I die before your album drop I hope

E se eu morrer antes do seu álbum ser lançado, eu espero

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometa que você vai cantar sobre mim

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometa que você vai cantar sobre mim

I said when the lights shut off and it's my turn

Eu disse quando as luzes se apagam e é a minha vez

To settle down, my main concern

De me acalmar, minha principal preocupação

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometa que você vai cantar sobre mim

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometa que você vai cantar sobre mim

You wrote a song about my sister on your tape

Você escreveu uma música sobre minha irmã na sua fita

And called it Section.80, the message resembled Brenda's Got a Baby

E chamou de Seção.80, a mensagem parecia com Brenda's Got a Baby

What's crazy was, I was hearin' about it

O que é louco é que eu estava ouvindo sobre isso

But doubted your ignorance, how could you ever

Mas duvidei da sua ignorância, como você poderia

Just put her on blast and shit?

Apenas colocá-la em evidência e merda?

Judging her past and shit?

Julgando o passado dela e merda?

Well it's completely my future

Bem, é completamente o meu futuro

A nigga behind me right now asking for ass and shit

Um cara atrás de mim agora pedindo por bunda e merda

And I'ma need that forty dollars even if I gotta

E eu vou precisar desses quarenta dólares mesmo que eu tenha que

Fuck, suck and swallow in the parking lot

Foder, chupar e engolir no estacionamento

Gonzales Park, I'm followed by a married man, a father of three

Gonzales Park, sou seguida por um homem casado, pai de três

My titties bounce on the cadence of his tingling keys

Meus peitos pulam no ritmo das suas chaves tilintantes

Matter of fact he my favorite 'cause he tip me with E's

Na verdade, ele é o meu favorito porque ele me dá gorjeta com E's

He got a cousin named David and I seen him last week

Ele tem um primo chamado David e eu o vi na semana passada

This is the life of another girl damaged by the system

Esta é a vida de outra garota danificada pelo sistema

These foster homes, I run away and never do miss 'em

Esses lares adotivos, eu fujo e nunca sinto falta deles

See, my hormones just run away and if I can get em back

Veja, meus hormônios simplesmente fogem e se eu conseguir recuperá-los

To where they used to be then I'll probably be in the denim

Para onde eles costumavam estar, então eu provavelmente estaria no jeans

Of a family gene that show women how to be woman, or better yet a leader

De um gene familiar que mostra às mulheres como ser mulher, ou melhor ainda, uma líder

You need her to learn something, then you probably need to beat her

Você precisa dela para aprender algo, então você provavelmente precisa bater nela

That's how I was taught

Foi assim que eu fui ensinada

Three niggas in one room, first time I was tossed

Três caras em um quarto, primeira vez que fui jogada

And I'm exhausted

E eu estou exausta

But fuck that "Sorry for your loss" shit

Mas foda-se esse "Desculpe pela sua perda" merda

My sister died in vain, but what point are you trying to gain

Minha irmã morreu em vão, mas que ponto você está tentando ganhar

If you can't fit the pumps I walk in?

Se você não consegue se encaixar nos saltos que eu ando?

I'll wait

Eu vou esperar

Your rebuttal a little too late

Sua réplica um pouco tarde demais

And if you have a album date, just make sure I'm not in the song

E se você tem uma data para o álbum, só se certifique de que eu não estou na música

Cause I don't need the attention bring enough of that on my own

Porque eu não preciso da atenção, trago o suficiente disso sozinha

And matter fact did I mention that I physically feel great?

E aliás, mencionei que me sinto fisicamente ótima?

A doctor's approval is a waste of time, I know I'm straight

A aprovação de um médico é uma perda de tempo, eu sei que estou bem

I'll probably live longer than you and never fade away

Provavelmente vou viver mais do que você e nunca vou desaparecer

I'll never fade away, I'll never fade away

Eu nunca vou desaparecer, eu nunca vou desaparecer

I know my fate, and I'm on the grind for this cake

Eu conheço o meu destino, e estou na luta por esse bolo

I'ma get or die trying, I'm eyeing every male gender with intentions of buying

Vou conseguir ou morrer tentando, estou de olho em todos os gêneros masculinos com intenções de comprar

You lying to these motherfuckers, talking 'bout you can help with my story

Você está mentindo para esses filhos da puta, falando que pode ajudar com a minha história

You can help me if you sell this pussy for me, nigga

Você pode me ajudar se vender essa buceta para mim, cara

Don't ignore me, nigga, fuck your glory, nigga, you ain't shit

Não me ignore, cara, foda-se sua glória, cara, você não é nada

When the lights shut off

Quando as luzes se apagam

And its my turn to settle down

E é a minha vez de me acalmar

My main concern

Minha principal preocupação

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometa que você vai cantar sobre mim

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometa que você vai cantar sobre mim

I said when the lights shut off and it's my turn

Eu disse quando as luzes se apagam e é a minha vez

To settle down, my main concern

De me acalmar, minha principal preocupação

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometa que você vai cantar sobre mim

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometa que você vai cantar sobre mim

Sometimes I look in a mirror and ask myself

Às vezes eu olho no espelho e me pergunto

Am I really scared of passing away

Será que eu realmente tenho medo de morrer

If it's today I hope I hear a

Se for hoje, espero ouvir um

Cry out from Heaven so loud it can water down a demon

Grito do céu tão alto que pode afogar um demônio

With the Holy Ghost 'til it drown in the blood of Jesus

Com o Espírito Santo até que ele se afogue no sangue de Jesus

I wrote some raps that make sure that my lifeline

Eu escrevi alguns raps que garantem que minha linha de vida

Reekin' the scent of a reaper, ensuring that my allegiance

Exale o cheiro de um ceifador, garantindo que minha aliança

With the other side may come soon

Com o outro lado possa vir em breve

And if I'm doomed, may the wound

E se eu estiver condenado, que a ferida

Help my mother be blessed for many moons

Ajude minha mãe a ser abençoada por muitas luas

I suffer a lot

Eu sofro muito

And every day that glass mirror get tougher to watch

E a cada dia esse espelho de vidro fica mais difícil de assistir

I tie my stomach in knots

Eu amarro meu estômago em nós

And I'm sure not why I'm infatuated with death

E não tenho certeza de por que estou fascinada com a morte

My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats

Minha imaginação é certamente uma provocação de ameaças

That can come about

Que podem acontecer

'Cause the tongue is mighty powerful

Porque a língua é muito poderosa

And I can name a list of your favorites that probably vouch

E eu posso listar seus favoritos que provavelmente concordariam

Maybe 'cause I'm dreamer and sleep is the cousin of death

Talvez porque eu sou sonhadora e o sono é o primo da morte

Really stuck in the scheme of, wondering when I'ma rest

Realmente presa no esquema de, me perguntando quando vou descansar

And you're right, your brother was a brother to me

E você está certo, seu irmão era um irmão para mim

And your sister's situation was the one that put me

E a situação da sua irmã foi a que me colocou

In a direction to speak on something that's realer than the TV screen

Em uma direção para falar sobre algo que é mais real do que a tela da TV

By any means, wasn't trying to offend or come between

De qualquer maneira, não estava tentando ofender ou se intrometer

Her personal life, I was like "It need to be told"

Na vida pessoal dela, eu era como "Isso precisa ser contado"

Cursing the life of twenty generations after her soul

Amaldiçoando a vida de vinte gerações depois da alma dela

Exactly what'd happened if I ain't continue rappin'

Exatamente o que aconteceria se eu não continuasse rimando

Or steady being distracted by money drugs and four

Ou continuasse sendo distraído por dinheiro, drogas e quatro

Fives, I count lives all on these songs

Cincos, eu conto vidas todas nessas músicas

Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you'll be strong

Olho para os fracos e choro, rezo para que um dia você seja forte

Fighting for your rights, even when you're wrong

Lutando pelos seus direitos, mesmo quando você está errado

And hope that at least one of you sing about me when I'm gone

E espero que pelo menos um de vocês cante sobre mim quando eu for

Am I worth it?

Eu valho a pena?

Did I put enough work in?

Eu trabalhei o suficiente?

When the lights shut off

Quando as luzes se apagam

And its my turn to settle down

E é a minha vez de me acalmar

My main concern

Minha principal preocupação

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometa que você vai cantar sobre mim

As mãos no volante, quem disse que não estávamos

Strayed bullets

Balas perdidas

Ak bullets

Balas de AK

Resuscitation was waiting patiently but they couldn't

Dreams of ballin' like Spalding

Sonhos de jogar como Spalding

But only shotty bounce

Mas só a espingarda salta

The reaper calling

O ceifador chamando

I'm cottonmouth

Estou com boca seca

Money is power, yours is ours

Dinheiro é poder, o seu é nosso

Lay with a snitch, die with a coward

Deite-se com um delator, morra com um covarde

Hope we get rich, hope we can tower

Esperamos ficar ricos, esperamos poder dominar

Sobre a cidade com vaidade com a música mais alta

Hell is hot, fire is proven

O inferno é quente, o fogo é comprovado

To burn for eternity, return of the student

Para queimar pela eternidade, retorno do estudante

That never learned how to live right just by how to shoot it

Que nunca aprendeu a viver direito, apenas como atirar

Tired of running, choirs is humming

Cansado de correr, coros estão cantando

Tell us to visit, we lying about coming

Dizem-nos para visitar, estamos mentindo sobre ir

Now back to business, loading the guns in

Agora de volta aos negócios, carregando as armas em

Back of the Buick, your hood is viewed

My main concern

Meine Hauptbesorgnis

Promise that you will sing about me

Versprich, dass du über mich singen wirst

Promise that you will sing about me

Versprich, dass du über mich singen wirst

My main concern

Meine Hauptbesorgnis

Promise that you will sing about me

Versprich, dass du über mich singen wirst

Promise that you will sing about me

Versprich, dass du über mich singen wirst

I woke up this morning and figured I'd call you

Ich bin heute Morgen aufgewacht und dachte, ich rufe dich an

In case I'm not here tomorrow

Für den Fall, dass ich morgen nicht mehr hier bin

I'm hoping that I can borrow a piece of mind

Ich hoffe, dass ich mir etwas Gelassenheit leihen kann

I'm behind on what's really important

Ich hänge hinter dem zurück, was wirklich wichtig ist

My mind is really distorted

Mein Verstand ist wirklich verzerrt

I find nothing but trouble in my life

Ich finde nichts als Ärger in meinem Leben

I'm fortunate you believe in a dream

Ich habe Glück, dass du an einen Traum glaubst

This orphanage we call a ghetto is quite a routine

Dieses Waisenhaus, das wir Ghetto nennen, ist ziemlich Routine

And last night was just another distraction

Und gestern Nacht war nur eine weitere Ablenkung

Or a reaction of what we consider madness

Oder eine Reaktion auf das, was wir für Wahnsinn halten

I know exactly what happened

Ich weiß genau, was passiert ist

You ran outside when you heard my brother cry for help

Du bist nach draußen gerannt, als du meinen Bruder um Hilfe schreien hörtest

Held him like a newborn baby and made him feel

Du hast ihn wie ein neugeborenes Baby gehalten und ihm das Gefühl gegeben

Like everything was alright

Als wäre alles in Ordnung

And a fight he tried to put up, but the type

Und einen Kampf hat er versucht zu führen, aber die Art

Of bullet that stuck had went against his will

Von Kugel, die stecken blieb, war gegen seinen Willen

As blood spilled on your hands

Als Blut auf deine Hände tropfte

My plans rather vindictive

Meine Pläne sind eher rachsüchtig

Everybody's a victim in my eyes

Jeder ist in meinen Augen ein Opfer

When I ride it's a murderous rhythm

Wenn ich fahre, ist es ein mörderischer Rhythmus

And outside became pitch black

Und draußen wurde es pechschwarz

A demon glued to my back whispering, "Get 'em"

Ein Dämon klebte an meinem Rücken und flüsterte: "Hol sie dir"

I got 'em, and I ain't give a fuck

Ich habe sie erwischt und es war mir egal

That same mentality that told my brother not to duck

Diese gleiche Mentalität, die meinem Bruder sagte, er solle nicht ducken

In actuality it's a trip how we trip off of colors

In Wirklichkeit ist es verrückt, wie wir wegen Farben ausrasten

I wonder if I'll ever discover

Ich frage mich, ob ich jemals

A passion like you and recover

Eine Leidenschaft wie deine entdecken und wiederherstellen werde

The life that I knew as a young'n

Das Leben, das ich als Kind kannte

In pajamas and Dun-ta-duns

To settle down, my main concern

Mich niederzulassen, meine Hauptbesorgnis

Promise that you will sing about me

Versprich, dass du über mich singen wirst

Promise that you will sing about me

Versprich, dass du über mich singen wirst

You wrote a song about my sister on your tape

Du hast ein Lied über meine Schwester auf dein Tape geschrieben

And called it Section.80, the message resembled Brenda's Got a Baby

Und es Section.80 genannt, die Botschaft ähnelte Brenda's Got a Baby

What's crazy was, I was hearin' about it

Was verrückt war, ich hörte davon

But doubted your ignorance, how could you ever

Aber zweifelte an deiner Ignoranz, wie könntest du jemals

Just put her on blast and shit?

Sie einfach so bloßstellen und so?

Judging her past and shit?

Ihre Vergangenheit beurteilen und so?

Well it's completely my future

Nun, es ist komplett meine Zukunft

A nigga behind me right now asking for ass and shit

Ein Kerl hinter mir fragt gerade nach Sex und so

And I'ma need that forty dollars even if I gotta

Und ich brauche diese vierzig Dollar, auch wenn ich dafür

Fuck, suck and swallow in the parking lot

Ficken, saugen und schlucken muss auf dem Parkplatz

Gonzales Park, I'm followed by a married man, a father of three

Gonzales Park, ich werde von einem verheirateten Mann verfolgt, Vater von drei Kindern

My titties bounce on the cadence of his tingling keys

Meine Brüste hüpfen im Takt seiner klimpernden Schlüssel

Matter of fact he my favorite 'cause he tip me with E's

Tatsächlich ist er mein Liebling, weil er mich mit E's bezahlt

He got a cousin named David and I seen him last week

Er hat einen Cousin namens David und ich habe ihn letzte Woche gesehen

This is the life of another girl damaged by the system

Das ist das Leben eines weiteren Mädchens, das vom System beschädigt wurde

These foster homes, I run away and never do miss 'em

Diese Pflegeheime, ich laufe weg und vermisse sie nie

See, my hormones just run away and if I can get em back

Siehst du, meine Hormone laufen einfach davon und wenn ich sie zurückbekommen könnte

To where they used to be then I'll probably be in the denim

Dann wäre ich wahrscheinlich in der Jeans

Of a family gene that show women how to be woman, or better yet a leader

Eines Familien-Gens, das Frauen zeigt, wie man Frau ist, oder besser noch eine Anführerin

You need her to learn something, then you probably need to beat her

Du brauchst sie, um etwas zu lernen, dann musst du sie wahrscheinlich schlagen

That's how I was taught

So wurde es mir beigebracht

Three niggas in one room, first time I was tossed

Drei Kerle in einem Raum, das erste Mal, dass ich geworfen wurde

And I'm exhausted

Und ich bin erschöpft

But fuck that "Sorry for your loss" shit

Aber scheiß auf dieses "Tut mir leid für deinen Verlust" Zeug

My sister died in vain, but what point are you trying to gain

Meine Schwester starb vergeblich, aber welchen Punkt versuchst du zu erreichen

If you can't fit the pumps I walk in?

Wenn du nicht in meine Schuhe passt?

I'll wait

Ich warte

Your rebuttal a little too late

Deine Erwiderung kommt ein bisschen zu spät

And if you have a album date, just make sure I'm not in the song

Und wenn du ein Albumdatum hast, stelle nur sicher, dass ich nicht im Lied bin

Cause I don't need the attention bring enough of that on my own

Denn ich brauche die Aufmerksamkeit nicht, ich ziehe genug davon auf mich selbst

And matter fact did I mention that I physically feel great?

Und übrigens, habe ich erwähnt, dass ich mich körperlich großartig fühle?

A doctor's approval is a waste of time, I know I'm straight

Die Zustimmung eines Arztes ist Zeitverschwendung, ich weiß, dass ich in Ordnung bin

I'll probably live longer than you and never fade away

Ich werde wahrscheinlich länger leben als du und niemals verblassen

I'll never fade away, I'll never fade away

Ich werde niemals verblassen, ich werde niemals verblassen

I know my fate, and I'm on the grind for this cake

Ich kenne mein Schicksal, und ich bin auf der Jagd nach diesem Kuchen

I'ma get or die trying, I'm eyeing every male gender with intentions of buying

Ich werde es bekommen oder beim Versuch sterben, ich beobachte jeden Mann mit der Absicht zu kaufen

You lying to these motherfuckers, talking 'bout you can help with my story

Du lügst diese Arschlöcher an, redest davon, dass du mir bei meiner Geschichte helfen kannst

You can help me if you sell this pussy for me, nigga

Du kannst mir helfen, wenn du diese Muschi für mich verkaufst, Nigga

Don't ignore me, nigga, fuck your glory, nigga, you ain't shit

Ignoriere mich nicht, Nigga, fick deinen Ruhm, Nigga, du bist nichts

When the lights shut off

Wenn die Lichter ausgehen

And its my turn to settle down

Und es ist meine Zeit, mich niederzulassen

My main concern

Meine Hauptsorge

Promise that you will sing about me

Versprich, dass du über mich singen wirst

Promise that you will sing about me

Versprich, dass du über mich singen wirst

I said when the lights shut off and it's my turn

Ich sagte, wenn die Lichter ausgehen und es ist meine Zeit

To settle down, my main concern

Um mich niederzulassen, meine Hauptsorge

Promise that you will sing about me

Versprich, dass du über mich singen wirst

Promise that you will sing about me

Versprich, dass du über mich singen wirst

Sometimes I look in a mirror and ask myself

Manchmal schaue ich in den Spiegel und frage mich

Am I really scared of passing away

Habe ich wirklich Angst davor, zu sterben

If it's today I hope I hear a

Wenn es heute ist, hoffe ich, dass ich einen

Cry out from Heaven so loud it can water down a demon

Schrei aus dem Himmel höre, so laut, dass er einen Dämon ertränken kann

With the Holy Ghost 'til it drown in the blood of Jesus

Mit dem Heiligen Geist, bis er im Blut von Jesus ertrinkt

I wrote some raps that make sure that my lifeline

Ich habe einige Raps geschrieben, die sicherstellen, dass meine Lebenslinie

Reekin' the scent of a reaper, ensuring that my allegiance

Den Geruch eines Schnitters ausstrahlt, der sicherstellt, dass meine Treue

With the other side may come soon

Mit der anderen Seite vielleicht bald kommt

And if I'm doomed, may the wound

Und wenn ich verdammt bin, möge die Wunde

Help my mother be blessed for many moons

Helfen, dass meine Mutter für viele Monde gesegnet ist

I suffer a lot

Ich leide viel

And every day that glass mirror get tougher to watch

Und jeden Tag wird dieser Glasspiegel schwerer zu beobachten

I tie my stomach in knots

Ich binde meinen Magen in Knoten

And I'm sure not why I'm infatuated with death

Und ich bin mir nicht sicher, warum ich vom Tod fasziniert bin

My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats

Meine Vorstellungskraft ist sicherlich eine Belästigung von Bedrohungen

That can come about

Die auftreten können

'Cause the tongue is mighty powerful

Denn die Zunge ist mächtig

And I can name a list of your favorites that probably vouch

Und ich kann eine Liste deiner Favoriten nennen, die wahrscheinlich bürgen

Maybe 'cause I'm dreamer and sleep is the cousin of death

Vielleicht, weil ich ein Träumer bin und Schlaf der Cousin des Todes ist

Really stuck in the scheme of, wondering when I'ma rest

Wirklich in dem Schema feststecken, mich fragen, wann ich mich ausruhen werde

And you're right, your brother was a brother to me

Und du hast recht, dein Bruder war ein Bruder für mich

And your sister's situation was the one that put me

Und die Situation deiner Schwester war diejenige, die mich dazu brachte

In a direction to speak on something that's realer than the TV screen

In eine Richtung zu sprechen, die realer ist als der Fernsehbildschirm

By any means, wasn't trying to offend or come between

Auf keinen Fall wollte ich beleidigen oder dazwischen kommen

Her personal life, I was like "It need to be told"

Ihr persönliches Leben, ich war wie "Es muss erzählt werden"

Cursing the life of twenty generations after her soul

Verfluche das Leben von zwanzig Generationen nach ihrer Seele

Exactly what'd happened if I ain't continue rappin'

Genau das würde passieren, wenn ich nicht weiter rappen würde

Or steady being distracted by money drugs and four

Oder ständig abgelenkt werde von Geld, Drogen und vier

Fives, I count lives all on these songs

Fünfen, ich zähle Leben auf all diesen Liedern

Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you'll be strong

Schaue auf die Schwachen und weine, bete, dass du eines Tages stark sein wirst

Fighting for your rights, even when you're wrong

Kämpfe für deine Rechte, auch wenn du im Unrecht bist

And hope that at least one of you sing about me when I'm gone

Und hoffe, dass mindestens einer von euch über mich singt, wenn ich weg bin

Am I worth it?

Bin ich es wert?

Did I put enough work in?

Habe ich genug Arbeit reingesteckt?

When the lights shut off

Wenn die Lichter ausgehen

And its my turn to settle down

Und es meine Zeit ist, zur Ruhe zu kommen

My main concern

Meine Hauptsorge

Promise that you will sing about me

Versprich, dass du über mich singen wirst

Promise that you will sing about me

Versprich, dass du über mich singen wirst

Tired of running

Müde vom Laufen

Tired of hunting

Müde vom Jagen

My own kind

Meiner eigenen Art

But retiring nothing

Aber nichts in Rente gehen

Tires are steady screeching, the driver is rubbing

Reifen quietschen ständig, der Fahrer reibt

Hands on the wheel, who said we wasn't

Hände am Steuer, wer hat gesagt, dass wir nicht

Wie viele Sünden?

I'm running out

Ich laufe aus

How many sins?

Wie viele Sünden?

I lost count

Ich habe den Überblick verloren

Dreams of ballin' like Spalding

Träume vom Ballspielen wie Spalding

But only shotty bounce

Aber nur Schrotflinte springt

The reaper calling

Der Sensenmann ruft

I'm cottonmouth

Ich habe Mundtrockenheit

Money is power, yours is ours

Geld ist Macht, deins ist unser

Lay with a snitch, die with a coward

Mit einem Spitzel schlafen, mit einem Feigling sterben

Hope we get rich, hope we can tower

Hoffen wir, dass wir reich werden, hoffen wir, dass wir einen Turm bauen können

Over the city with vanity with the music louder

Über der Stadt mit Eitelkeit mit der Musik lauter

The same song

Das gleiche Lied

A black flower

Eine schwarze Blume

I'll show you how to

Ich zeige dir, wie man

Dye your thirst

Deinen Durst färbt

Deinen Durst färbt

Dye your thirst

Deinen Durst färbt

What are we doing?

Was machen wir?

Who are we fooling?

Wen machen wir uns vor?

Hell is hot, fire is proven

Die Hölle ist heiß, Feuer ist bewiesen

To burn for eternity, return of the student

Zu brennen für die Ewigkeit, Rückkehr des Schülers

That never learned how to live right just by how to shoot it

Der nie gelernt hat, wie man richtig lebt, nur wie man schießt

Tired of running, choirs is humming

Müde vom Laufen, Chöre summen

Tell us to visit, we lying about coming

Sie sagen uns, wir sollen besuchen, wir lügen über das Kommen

Now back to business, loading the guns in

Jetzt zurück zum Geschäft, die Waffen laden

Back of the Buick, your hood is viewed

Hinten im Buick, deine Haube ist zu sehen

And the beef is bubbling

Und der Beef brodelt

It's no discussion, hereditary

Es gibt keine Diskussion, erblich

Ich laufe aus

On taking this life for granted

Über das Leben als selbstverständlich zu nehmen

Gewährt, wenn er provoziert

My best days, I stress days (Lord forgive me for all my sins for I not know)

What if today was the rapture, and you completely tarnished

Was wäre, wenn heute die Entrückung wäre und du völlig verdorben wärst

The truth will set you free, so to me be completely honest

Die Wahrheit wird dich befreien, also sei mir völlig ehrlich

You dying of thirst

Gut, erinnere dich jetzt an diesen Tag

The start of a new life, your real life

Der Beginn eines neuen Lebens, deines wahren Lebens

When the lights shut off

Quando le luci si spengono

And it's my turn to settle down

E tocca a me calmarmi

My main concern

La mia principale preoccupazione

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometti che canterai di me

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometti che canterai di me

I said when the lights shut off

Ho detto quando le luci si spengono

And it's my turn to settle down

E tocca a me calmarmi

My main concern

La mia principale preoccupazione

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometti che canterai di me

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometti che canterai di me

I woke up this morning and figured I'd call you

Mi sono svegliato stamattina e ho pensato di chiamarti

In case I'm not here tomorrow

Nel caso non ci sia domani

I'm hoping that I can borrow a piece of mind

Spero di poter prendere in prestito un po' di tranquillità mentale

I'm behind on what's really important

Sono indietro su ciò che è veramente importante

My mind is really distorted

La mia mente è davvero distorta

I find nothing but trouble in my life

Non trovo altro che problemi nella mia vita

I'm fortunate you believe in a dream

Sono fortunato che tu creda in un sogno

This orphanage we call a ghetto is quite a routine

Questo orfanotrofio che chiamiamo ghetto è piuttosto una routine

And last night was just another distraction

E la scorsa notte è stata solo un'altra distrazione

Or a reaction of what we consider madness

O una reazione a ciò che consideriamo follia

I know exactly what happened

So esattamente cosa è successo

You ran outside when you heard my brother cry for help

Sei corso fuori quando hai sentito mio fratello gridare aiuto

Held him like a newborn baby and made him feel

Lo hai tenuto come un neonato e gli hai fatto sentire

Like everything was alright

Come se tutto fosse a posto

And a fight he tried to put up, but the type

E una lotta che ha cercato di mettere su, ma il tipo

Of bullet that stuck had went against his will

Di proiettile che è rimasto aveva agito contro la sua volontà

As blood spilled on your hands

Mentre il sangue si versava sulle tue mani

My plans rather vindictive

I miei piani piuttosto vendicativi

Everybody's a victim in my eyes

Tutti sono vittime ai miei occhi

When I ride it's a murderous rhythm

Quando cavalco è un ritmo omicida

And outside became pitch black

E fuori è diventato nero come la pece

A demon glued to my back whispering, "Get 'em"

Un demone incollato alla mia schiena sussurra, "Prendili"

I got 'em, and I ain't give a fuck

Li ho presi, e non me ne frega un cazzo

That same mentality that told my brother not to duck

Quella stessa mentalità che ha detto a mio fratello di non abbassarsi

In actuality it's a trip how we trip off of colors

In realtà è strano come ci facciamo prendere dai colori

I wonder if I'll ever discover

Mi chiedo se scoprirò mai

A passion like you and recover

Una passione come te e mi riprenderò

The life that I knew as a young'n

La vita che conoscevo da piccolo

In pajamas and Dun-ta-duns

In pigiama e Dun-ta-duns

When thunder comes it rains cats and dogs

Quando arriva il tuono piovono gatti e cani

Dumb niggas like me never prosper

Tizi stupidi come me non prosperano mai

Prognosis of a problem child

Prognosi di un bambino problematico

I'm proud and well devoted

Sono orgoglioso e ben devoto

This Piru shit been in me forever

Questa roba Piru è in me per sempre

So forever I'ma push it, wherever whenever

Quindi la spingerò per sempre, ovunque quando

And I love you 'cause you love my brother like you did

E ti amo perché ami mio fratello come hai fatto

Just promise me you'll tell this story when you make it big

Promettimi solo che racconterai questa storia quando farai il grande passo

And if I die before your album drop I hope

E se muoio prima che esca il tuo album spero

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometti che canterai di me

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometti che canterai di me

I said when the lights shut off and it's my turn

Ho detto quando le luci si spengono e tocca a me

To settle down, my main concern

Calmarmi, la mia principale preoccupazione

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometti che canterai di me

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometti che canterai di me

You wrote a song about my sister on your tape

Hai scritto una canzone su mia sorella nel tuo nastro

And called it Section.80, the message resembled Brenda's Got a Baby

E l'hai chiamata Sezione.80, il messaggio assomigliava a Brenda's Got a Baby

What's crazy was, I was hearin' about it

La cosa pazzesca era che ne stavo sentendo parlare

But doubted your ignorance, how could you ever

Ma dubitavo della tua ignoranza, come potresti mai

Just put her on blast and shit?

Metterla così in mostra e altra merda del genere?

Judging her past and shit?

Giudicando il suo passato e altra merda del genere?

Well it's completely my future

Beh, è completamente il mio futuro

A nigga behind me right now asking for ass and shit

Un tizio dietro di me in questo momento chiede per il culo e altra merda del genere

And I'ma need that forty dollars even if I gotta

E avrò bisogno di quei quaranta dollari anche se devo

Fuck, suck and swallow in the parking lot

Fanculo, succhiare e ingoiare nel parcheggio

Gonzales Park, I'm followed by a married man, a father of three

Gonzales Park, sono seguita da un uomo sposato, padre di tre

My titties bounce on the cadence of his tingling keys

Le mie tette rimbalzano sul ritmo delle sue chiavi tintinnanti

Matter of fact he my favorite 'cause he tip me with E's

Infatti lui è il mio preferito perché mi dà la mancia con E's

He got a cousin named David and I seen him last week

Ha un cugino di nome David e l'ho visto la scorsa settimana

This is the life of another girl damaged by the system

Questa è la vita di un'altra ragazza danneggiata dal sistema

These foster homes, I run away and never do miss 'em

Queste case famiglia, scappo e non mi mancano mai

See, my hormones just run away and if I can get em back

Vedi, I miei ormoni scappano e se posso riaverli

To where they used to be then I'll probably be in the denim

Dove erano soliti essere allora probabilmente sarei nel denim

Of a family gene that show women how to be woman, or better yet a leader

Di un gene familiare che mostra alle donne come essere donne, o meglio ancora una leader

You need her to learn something, then you probably need to beat her

Hai bisogno di lei per imparare qualcosa, allora probabilmente devi picchiarla

That's how I was taught

Così mi è stato insegnato

Three niggas in one room, first time I was tossed

Tre tizi in una stanza, la prima volta che sono stata buttata

And I'm exhausted

E sono esausta

But fuck that "Sorry for your loss" shit

Ma fanculo quella merda tipo "Mi dispiace per la tua perdita"

My sister died in vain, but what point are you trying to gain

Mia sorella è morta invano, ma quale punto stai cercando di guadagnare

If you can't fit the pumps I walk in?

Se non riesci a calzare le pompe in cui cammino?

I'll wait

Aspetterò

Your rebuttal a little too late

La tua replica un po' troppo tardi

And if you have a album date, just make sure I'm not in the song

E se hai una data per l'album, assicurati solo che non sia nella canzone

Cause I don't need the attention bring enough of that on my own

Perché non ho bisogno dell'attenzione, ne porto abbastanza da sola

And matter fact did I mention that I physically feel great?

E infatti ho menzionato che mi sento fisicamente benissimo?

A doctor's approval is a waste of time, I know I'm straight

L'approvazione di un medico è una perdita di tempo, so di essere a posto

I'll probably live longer than you and never fade away

Probabilmente vivrò più a lungo di te e non svanirò mai

I'll never fade away, I'll never fade away

Non svanirò mai, non svanirò mai

I know my fate, and I'm on the grind for this cake

Conosco il mio destino, e sono sulla retta via per questa torta

I'ma get or die trying, I'm eyeing every male gender with intentions of buying

Lo prenderò o morirò cercando, sto guardando ogni genere maschile con intenzioni di comprare

You lying to these motherfuckers, talking 'bout you can help with my story

Stai mentendo a questi figli di puttana, parlando di come puoi aiutare con la mia storia

You can help me if you sell this pussy for me, nigga

Puoi aiutarmi se vendi questa figa per me, amico

Don't ignore me, nigga, fuck your glory, nigga, you ain't shit

Non ignorarmi, amico, fanculo la tua gloria, amico, non sei un cazzo

When the lights shut off

Quando le luci si spengono

And its my turn to settle down

E tocca a me calmarmi

My main concern

La mia principale preoccupazione

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometti che canterai di me

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometti che canterai di me

I said when the lights shut off and it's my turn

Ho detto quando le luci si spengono e tocca a me

To settle down, my main concern

Calmarmi, la mia principale preoccupazione

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometti che canterai di me

Promise that you will sing about me

Sometimes I look in a mirror and ask myself

A volte mi guardo allo specchio e mi chiedo

Am I really scared of passing away

Ho davvero paura di morire

If it's today I hope I hear a

Se è oggi spero di sentire un

Cry out from Heaven so loud it can water down a demon

Grido dal cielo così forte da poter annacquare un demone

With the Holy Ghost 'til it drown in the blood of Jesus

Con lo Spirito Santo fino a che non annega nel sangue di Gesù

I wrote some raps that make sure that my lifeline

Ho scritto alcuni rap che assicurano che la mia linea di vita

Reekin' the scent of a reaper, ensuring that my allegiance

Profuma dell'odore di un mietitore, assicurando che la mia alleanza

With the other side may come soon

Con l'altro lato possa arrivare presto

And if I'm doomed, may the wound

E se sono condannato, possa la ferita

Help my mother be blessed for many moons

Aiutare mia madre ad essere benedetta per molte lune

I suffer a lot

Soffro molto

And every day that glass mirror get tougher to watch

E ogni giorno quel specchio di vetro diventa più difficile da guardare

I tie my stomach in knots

Mi lego lo stomaco in nodi

And I'm sure not why I'm infatuated with death

E non sono sicuro del perché sono affascinato dalla morte

My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats

La mia immaginazione è sicuramente un'aggravazione di minacce

That can come about

Che possono venire

'Cause the tongue is mighty powerful

Perché la lingua è molto potente

And I can name a list of your favorites that probably vouch

E posso fare una lista dei tuoi preferiti che probabilmente confermeranno

Maybe 'cause I'm dreamer and sleep is the cousin of death

Forse perché sono un sognatore e il sonno è il cugino della morte

Really stuck in the scheme of, wondering when I'ma rest

Davvero bloccato nello schema di, chiedendomi quando riposerò

And you're right, your brother was a brother to me

E hai ragione, tuo fratello era un fratello per me

And your sister's situation was the one that put me

E la situazione di tua sorella era quella che mi ha messo

In a direction to speak on something that's realer than the TV screen

In una direzione per parlare di qualcosa che è più reale dello schermo della TV

By any means, wasn't trying to offend or come between

In ogni caso, non cercavo di offendere o venire tra

Her personal life, I was like "It need to be told"

La sua vita personale, ero tipo "Deve essere raccontato"

Cursing the life of twenty generations after her soul

Maledicendo la vita di venti generazioni dopo la sua anima

Exactly what'd happened if I ain't continue rappin'

Esattamente cosa sarebbe successo se non avessi continuato a fare rap

Or steady being distracted by money drugs and four

O continuando ad essere distratto da soldi droghe e quattro

Fives, I count lives all on these songs

Cinque, conto le vite tutte su queste canzoni

Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you'll be strong

Guardo I deboli e piango, prego un giorno sarai forte

Fighting for your rights, even when you're wrong

Lottando per I tuoi diritti, anche quando hai torto

And hope that at least one of you sing about me when I'm gone

E spero che almeno uno di voi canti di me quando me ne sarò andato

Am I worth it?

Valgo la pena?

Did I put enough work in?

Ho lavorato abbastanza?

When the lights shut off

Quando le luci si spengono

And its my turn to settle down

Ed è il mio turno di sistemarmi

My main concern

La mia principale preoccupazione

Promise that you will sing about me

Prometti che canterai di me

Ay, ay, ay, Where you 'bout to go?

Ehi, ehi, ehi, dove stai per andare?

Nigga, the homie's brother

Amico, il fratello dell'amico

Nigga, right here, he gone, my nigga, he gone!

Amico, proprio qui, se n'è andato, amico mio, se n'è andato!

We on the block right now my nigga

Siamo sul blocco proprio ora mio amico

Like we, nigga we right here

Come noi, amico siamo proprio qui

"Nigga, they just killed the homie's brother, my nigga

"Amico, hanno appena ucciso il fratello dell'amico, amico mio

Come amico, non me ne frega un cazzo, amico mio, possiamo tornare indietro proprio ora

Fuck! I'm tired of this shit! I'm tired of fuckin' runnin'

Cazzo! Sono stanco di questa merda! Sono stanco di cazzo di correre

I'm tired of this shit! My brother, homie!

Sono stanco di questa merda! Mio fratello, amico!

Tired of running

Stanco di correre

Tired of hunting

Stanco di cacciare

My own kind

La mia stessa specie

But retiring nothing

Ma non mi ritiro

Tires are steady screeching, the driver is rubbing

Le gomme stridono costantemente, il conducente sta strofinando

Hands on the wheel, who said we wasn't

Le mani sul volante, chi ha detto che non eravamo

Dying of thirst

Morendo di sete

Dying of thirst

Morendo di sete

Dying of thirst

Morendo di sete

Dope on the corner

Droga all'angolo

Look at the coroner

Guarda il coroner

Daughter is dead

La figlia è morta

Mother is mourning her

La madre la sta piangendo

Strayed bullets

Proiettili vaganti

Ak bullets

Proiettili Ak

Resuscitation was waiting patiently but they couldn't

La rianimazione stava aspettando pazientemente ma non potevano

Bring her back

Riportarla indietro

Who got the footage?

Chi ha le immagini?

Channel 9

Canale 9

Cameras is looking

Le telecamere stanno guardando

It's hard to channel your energy when you know you're crooked

È difficile canalizzare la tua energia quando sai di essere storto

Banana clip, split his banana pudding

Clip di banana, dividi il suo budino di banana

I'm like Tre, that's Cuba Gooding

Sono come Tre, quello è Cuba Gooding

I know I'm good at

So che sono bravo a

Dying of thirst

Morire di sete

Dying of thirst

Morire di sete

Dying of thirst

Morire di sete

How many sins?

Quanti peccati?

I'm running out

Sto finendo

How many sins?

Quanti peccati?

I lost count

Ho perso il conto

Dreams of ballin' like Spalding

Sogni di ballare come Spalding

But only shotty bounce

Ma solo shotty rimbalza

The reaper calling

Il mietitore chiama

I'm cottonmouth

Ho la bocca secca

Money is power, yours is ours

Il denaro è potere, il tuo è nostro

Lay with a snitch, die with a coward

Stare con un informatore, morire con un codardo

Hope we get rich, hope we can tower

Speriamo di arricchirci, speriamo di poter dominare

Over the city with vanity with the music louder

Sulla città con vanità con la musica più forte

The same song

La stessa canzone

A black flower

Un fiore nero

I'll show you how to

Ti mostrerò come

Dye your thirst

Tingi la tua sete

Dye your thirst

Tingi la tua sete

Dye your thirst

Tingi la tua sete

What are we doing?

Cosa stiamo facendo?

Who are we fooling?

Chi stiamo prendendo in giro?

Hell is hot, fire is proven

L'inferno è caldo, il fuoco è provato

To burn for eternity, return of the student

Per bruciare per l'eternità, ritorno dello studente

That never learned how to live right just by how to shoot it

Che non ha mai imparato a vivere bene solo come sparare

Tired of running, choirs is humming

Stanco di correre, I cori stanno canticchiando

Tell us to visit, we lying about coming

Dicono di venire a trovarci, mentiamo sul fatto di venire

Now back to business, loading the guns in

Ora torniamo al lavoro, caricando le pistole in

Back of the Buick, your hood is viewed

Dietro alla Buick, il tuo quartiere è visto

And the beef is bubbling

E il manzo sta bollendo

It's no discussion, hereditary

Non c'è discussione, ereditario

All of my cousins

Tutti I miei cugini

Dying of thirst

Stanno morendo di sete

Dying of thirst

Stanno morendo di sete

Dying of thirst

Stanno morendo di sete

Too many sins

Troppi peccati

I'm running out

Sto finendo

Somebody send

Qualcuno manda

Me a well for the drought

Mi serve un pozzo per la siccità

See, all I know, is taking notes

Vedi, tutto quello che so, è prendere appunti

On taking this life for granted

Sul dare per scontata questa vita

Granted, if he provoke

Concesso, se lui provoca

My best days, I stress days (Lord forgive me for all my sins for I not know)

I miei giorni migliori, giorni di stress (Signore perdonami per tutti I miei peccati perché non so)

My best days, I stress days

I miei giorni migliori, giorni di stress

Say "Fuck the world," my sex slave

Dico "Fanculo il mondo", la mia schiava del sesso

Money, pussy and greed was my next crave

Soldi, figa e avidità erano il mio prossimo desiderio

Whatever it is, know it's my next grave

Qualunque cosa sia, so che è la mia prossima tomba

Tired of running, tired of running

Stanco di correre, stanco di correre

Tired of tumbling, tired of running

Stanco di inciampare, stanco di correre

Tired of tumbling

Stanco di inciampare

Back once my momma say

Torna una volta che mia mamma dice

"See a pastor, give me a promise

"Vedi un pastore, dammi una promessa

What if today was the rapture, and you completely tarnished

E se oggi fosse l'arretramento, e tu sei completamente rovinato

The truth will set you free, so to me be completely honest

La verità ti renderà libero, quindi per me sii completamente onesto

You dying of thirst

Stai morendo di sete

You dying of thirst

Stai morendo di sete

So hop in that water, and pray that it works"

Quindi salta in quell'acqua, e prega che funzioni"

Fuck! I'm tired of this shit!

Cazzo! Sono stanco di questa merda!

I'm tired of fuckin' runnin', I'm tired of this shit!

Sono stanco di cazzo di correre, sono stanco di questa merda!

My brother, homie!

Mio fratello, amico!

Is that what I think that is?

È quello che penso che sia?

I know that's not what I think that is

So che non è quello che penso che sia

Why are you so angry?

Perché sei così arrabbiato?

See, you young men are dying of thirst

Vedi, voi giovani uomini state morendo di sete

Do you know what that means?

Sai cosa significa?

That means you need water, holy water

Significa che hai bisogno di acqua, acqua santa

You need to be baptized, with the spirit of the Lord

Hai bisogno di essere battezzato, con lo spirito del Signore

Do you want to receive God as your personal savior?

Vuoi ricevere Dio come tuo salvatore personale?

Okay, repeat after me

Va bene, ripeti dopo di me

"Lord God, I come to You a sinner."

"Signore Dio, vengo a Te peccatore."

(Lord God, I come to You a sinner)

(Signore Dio, vengo a Te peccatore)

"And I humbly repent for my sins"

"E umilmente mi pento dei miei peccati"

(And I humbly repent for my sins)

(E umilmente mi pento dei miei peccati)

"I believe that Jesus is Lord"

"Credo che Gesù sia il Signore"

(I believe that Jesus is Lord)

(Credo che Gesù sia il Signore)

"I believe you raised Him from the dead"

"Credo che Tu lo abbia risuscitato dai morti"

(I believe you raised Him from the dead)

(Credo che Tu lo abbia risuscitato dai morti)

"I would ask that Jesus come into my life"

"Chiederei che Gesù entrasse nella mia vita"

(I would ask that Jesus come in my life)

(Chiederei che Gesù entrasse nella mia vita)

"And be my Lord and Savior"

"E fosse il mio Signore e Salvatore"

(And be my Lord and Savior)

(E fosse il mio Signore e Salvatore)

"I receive Jesus to take control of my life"

"Accetto Gesù per prendere il controllo della mia vita"

(I receive Jesus to take control of my life)

(Accetto Gesù per prendere il controllo della mia vita)

"And that I may live for Him from this day forward"

"E che io possa vivere per Lui da questo giorno in poi"

(And that I may live for Him from this day forward)

(E che io possa vivere per Lui da questo giorno in poi)

"Thank you, Lord Jesus

"Grazie, Signore Gesù

For saving me with Your precious blood"

Per avermi salvato con il Tuo prezioso sangue"

(Thank you, Lord Jesus

(Grazie, Signore Gesù

For saving me with Your precious blood)

Per avermi salvato con il Tuo prezioso sangue)

"In Jesus name, amen"

"In nome di Gesù, amen"

(In Jesus name, amen)

(In nome di Gesù, amen)

Alright now, remember this day

Bene, ora ricorda questo giorno

The start of a new life, your real life

L'inizio di una nuova vita, la tua vera vita

[Перевод песни Kendrick Lamar — «Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst»]

[Часть 1: «Sing About Me»]

[Припев]
Когда погаснет свет, и настанет мой черёд
Отойти в иной мир, для меня будет важно лишь одно:
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне
Я сказал, что когда погаснет свет, и настанет мой черёд
Отойти в иной мир, для меня будет важно лишь одно:
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне

[Куплет 1]
Проснувшись этим утром я подумал, что позвоню тебе
На случай, если завтра меня не станет
Надеюсь, что смогу одолжить
Душевный покой, ведь я упускаю те вещи, которые по-настоящему важны
В моей голове полная неразбериха
А в жизни одни лишь неприятности
Мне повезло, что ты веришь в мечты
А в этом приюте, что мы зовём «гетто», всё как обычно
Но прошлой ночью случился переполох
Или реакция на то, что мы называем «безумием»
Я точно знаю, что произошло
Ты выбежал на улицу, услышав, что мой брат зовёт на помощь
Прижал его к себе, словно младенца, и уверял его
Будто всё было в порядке в той перестрелке, в которую он ввязался
Но та пуля, которая прилетела
Она попала внутрь вопреки его планам — его кровь была на твоих руках
У меня есть план мести
Каждый в моих глазах может превратиться в следующую жертву
Когда я выезжаю, сердце бьётся в ритме убийцы
И мир снаружи превратился в кромешную темноту
Дьявол, примкнувший к моей спине, шепчет: «Прикончи их!»
Я сделал это и мне глубоко наплевать
Что так же поступил и мой брат: не стал уклоняться и умер
Так глупо, на самом деле, всё это только из-за того, что мы разного цвета
Интересно, познаю ли я когда-нибудь страсть, как у тебя, и верну
Ту жизнь, которую я знал, когда был ещё младенцем
В пижамах и трусах со знаками супергероев
Когда гремит гром, любой мокнет до костей
Тупицам, как я, в жизни ничего не светит
Это судьба проблемного ребёнка: я гордый и преданный
Это дерьмо с Пиру было во мне всегда
Поэтому я буду продолжать жить с этим, независимо от времени и места
И я люблю тебя, ведь ты на самом деле любил моего брата
Просто пообещай, что расскажешь всем эту историю, когда прославишься
И если я умру прежде, чем выйдет твой альбом, я надеюсь…

[Припев]
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне
Я сказал, что когда погаснет свет, и настанет мой черёд
Отойти в иной мир, для меня будет важно лишь одно:
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне

[Куплет 2]
Ты записал песню о моей сестре на свой микстейп
И назвал его Section.80
Смысл был похож на песню Brenda's Got a Baby
Удивительно то, что я слышала об этом
Но сомневалась в твоей неграмотности
Чёрт, как ты вообще мог выставить её жизнь на показ?
И, блядь, осуждать её прошлое?
Ну, походу, и моя участь будет та же
Её нигер стоит позади меня сейчас и просит дать ему в зад
И мне нужны эти сорок баксов
Даже если придётся трахаться, отсосать и проглотить
Прямо на стоянке, парк Гонзалес, за мной идёт
Женатый мужчина, отец троих детей
Грудь трясётся в такт звона его ключей
На самом деле, он мой любимчик, ведь оплачивает в экстази
У него есть двоюродный брат, Дэвид, виделись на прошлой неделе
Всё это — жизнь очередной одной девушки, раздавленной системой
Эти детские дома — я бегу от них подальше и никогда не вспоминаю
Видишь, все мои гормоны вышли из-под контроля и, будь у меня шанс
Вернуть их назад туда, где они были раньше, то, может, в переплетении
Моих генов будет тот, кто покажет женщине, как быть женщиной
Или, ещё лучше, как быть лидером — вам нужно, чтобы она чему-нибудь научилась
Потом тебе наверняка нужно её избить — так меня учили
Трое мужчин в одной комнате, и это был мой первый раз
И я измучена, но к чёрту ваше дерьмо типа «мне очень жаль»
Моя сестра умерла напрасно, так чего же ты пытаешься добиться?
Тебе же не влезть в мою шкуру?
Я подожду… Твои аргументы немного запоздали
И если у тебя уже есть дата выхода альбома, просто позаботься о том, чтобы меня не было в песне
Потому что мне не нужно лишнего внимания, своего хватает
И, кстати, я говорила, что физически себя прекрасно чувствую?
Одобрение доктора — трата времени, я знаю, что здорова
Я, наверняка, проживу дольше, чем ты, и никогда не исчезну
Я никогда не исчезну, я никогда не исчезну, я знаю свою судьбу
Я буду вкалывать ради денег, я сделаю это или умру, пытаясь
И я засматриваюсь на каждого мужика, у которого есть намерения платить
Ты врёшь этим ублюдкам
Говоря, что сможешь помочь им моей историей
Ты можешь помочь мне став моим сутенёром, нигер
Не игнорируй меня, нигер, к чёрту твою славу, нигер, ты ничего не можешь…

[Куплет 3]
Иногда я смотрю в зеркало
И задаюсь вопросом: «Действительно ли я боюсь умереть?»
Если суждено погибнуть сегодня, то надеюсь, что услышу
Плач с небес, столь сильный, что затопит дьявола
Святым Духом прежде, чем он захлебнётся в Крови Христа
Я написал несколько рэп-песен, которые доказывают, что мой жизненный путь насквозь пропах
Запахом смерти, и обеспечивают принадлежность
С той стороной, которая скоро меня настигнет, и если я обречён, то
Пусть утроба моей матери будет благословлена на долгие ночи
Я так много страдаю
И с каждым днём всё тяжелее смотреться в зеркало
Настолько, что живот скручивается в узел
И я не знаю, почему я так одержим смертью
Моё воображение определённо преувеличивает опасности
Которые могут сбыться, ведь сила слова очень сильна
И я могу назвать целый список твоих любимчиков, которые всё это переживали
Может, всё из-за того, что я люблю спать, а сон — сродни смерти
Меня реально заклинило на этой теме, когда же я успокоюсь
И ты прав, твой брат был и мне братом
А ситуация с твоей сестрой подстегнула меня
Говорить о том, что не расскажут по телевидению
Ни в коем случае, я не хотел оскорбить или лезть
В её личную жизнь, я просто подумал, что об этом нужно рассказать
Последующие двадцать поколений после неё были бы прокляты
Если бы я не продолжал читать рэп
Или они начали бы увлекаться деньгами, наркотой и оружием
Я считаю жизни, всё в этих песнях
Смотрю на слабых и плачу, молюсь, что однажды вы станете сильнее
И начнёте отстаивать свои права, даже когда ошибаетесь
И надеюсь, хотя бы один из вас споёт обо мне, когда я умру
Достоин ли я этого? Достаточно ли я сделал для этого?

[Аутро]
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне вечно
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне веч-ноооо
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне вечно
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне веч-ноооо
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне вечно
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне веч-ноооо
Пообещай, что будешь петь обо мне вечно

[Часть 2: «I’m Dying of Thirst»]

[Скит]
(По телефону)
«Эй, эй, эй, ты куда собрался?»
«Нигер, тут брат моего кореша — нигер, прям здесь, он умер, мой нигер, он умер!»
«Эй, зайди в магазин ради меня, только один раз»
«Мы на районе сейчас, мой нигре, типа, мы — нигер, мы прям здесь сейчас»
«Верни нашего нигер обратно!»
«Нигер, они только что убили брата моего кореша. Мы здесь на районе… Хо-хорошо, нигер, просто пе — хорошо, хорошо, просто перезвони мне, чувак, просто перезвони»
«Верни нашего нигер обратно!»
(Кладёт трубку)
«Ааа, чёрт… Так что, что мы будем делать? Что будем делать?»
«Бро, мы можем просто туда вернутся. Типа… нигер, мне глубоко наплевать. Может просто вернутся»
«Чёрт! Я задолбался от этого дерьма! Я задолбался куда-то вечно бежать, я задолбался от этого дерьма! Мой брат, мой хоуми!»

[Куплет 1]
Устал бежать, устал вести охоту
На своих же, но это уже не остановить
Колёса всё крутятся, водитель сжимает
Руль всё крепче, кто сказал, что мы
Не гибнем от жажды, гибнем от жажды, гибнем от жажды?

[Куплет 2]
Барыга на углу, но не на столе у судмедэксперта
Чья-то дочь мертва, мать хоронит её
Шальные пули, пули Калашникова
В реанимации боролись за её жизнь, но не смогли
Вернуть её назад, у кого есть запись?
Девятый канал, камеры следят
Сложно направить свою энергию в правильное русло, когда знаешь, что он лгал
Обоймы, похожие на бананы, превратили его мозг в банановое пюре
Я, будто Tre, в исполнении Cuba Gooding
Я знаю, у меня хорошо получается
Гибнуть от жажды, гибнуть от жажды, гибнуть от жажды

[Куплет 3]
Сколько грехов? Их слишком много
Сколько грехов? Я сбился со счёта
Хочу летать также высоко, как и Spalding
Но над головой только выстрелы
Смерть близка, во рту уже пересохло
Деньги — это сила (Деньги — это сила)
Твоё — станет и нашим (Твоё — станет нашим)
Поведёшься с крысой — умрёшь с трусом
Надеюсь, мы разбогатеем, надеюсь, мы возвысимся
Над этим городом своим тщеславием и громкой музыкой
Та же песня, чёрный цветок
Я покажу тебе как
Окрасить свою жажду, окрасить свою жажду, окрасить свою жажду

[Куплет 4]
Что же мы делаем? Кого мы обманываем?
В Аду жарко, огонь там
Горит вечность, вернулся студент
Который не знал, как правильно жить, а только то, как правильно стрелять
Я устал убегать, церковные хоры поют
Зазывают нам, а мы врём, что придём
И возвращаемся к делу, загружаем стволы
На заднее сидение Buick, на твоём районе вражда
В нём кипит злоба — это даже без обсуждений
Это идёт по наследству, все мои братья
Гибнут от жажды, гибнут от жажды, гибнут от жажды

[Куплет 5]
Слишком много грехов, их не пересчитать
Кто-нибудь, пришлите мне колодец во время засухи
Как видишь, я делаю заметки о том
Как принимать жизнь, как должное, и отдаю «должное» любому, кто нарывается
Мои лучшие дни, подчёркиваю — дни
(Господь, прости все мои грехи, о которых я не знаю—)
Мои лучшие дни, подчёркиваю — дни
Скажи: «К чёрту этот мир», мой секс-раб
Деньги, женщины и алчность — чего ещё я жажду?
Что бы это ни было, я знаю, это загонит меня в могилу
Устал бежать, устал бежать, устал спотыкаться
Устал бежать, устал спотыкаться — и наоборот
Помню, как мама сказала мне: «Сходи к пастору, обещай мне
Что, если сегодня случится Второе пришествие, а ты погряз в грехах?
Только правда освободит тебя, поэтому будь предельно честен со мной
Ты гибнешь от жажды, ты гибнешь от жажды
Так окунись же в воду и молись, что это поможет»

[Скит/Аутро]
Блядь! Я устал от этого дерьма!
Я устал убегать нахуй, я устал от этого дерьма!
Это мой брат, хоуми!
Молодой человек, пошли поговорим! Это то, о чём я думаю?
Я знаю, что это совсем не то
Почему ты такой злой?
Видишь, вы, молодые парни, погибаете от жажды
Знаешь, что это значит?
Это значит, что вам нужна вода, святая вода
Вы должны быть крещены духом Господа
Вы хотите принять Бога как спасителя своего?
Хорошо, тогда повторяйте за мной:
«Господь, я предстаю пред Тобою грешный»
(Господь, я предстаю пред Тобою грешный)
«И я смиренно каюсь в прегрешениях своих»
(И я смиренно каюсь в прегрешениях своих)
«Верую я в Господа Иисуса»
(Верую я в Господа Иисуса)
«Верую, что Ты воскресил Его из мёртвых»
(Верую, что Ты воскресил Его из мёртвых)
«И прошу я Иисуса войти в жизнь мою»
(И прошу я Иисуса войти в жизнь мою)
«И стать Господом моим и Спасителем моим»
(И стать Господом моим и Спасителем моим)
«В руки Иисуса передаю я жизнь свою»
(В руки Иисуса передаю я жизнь свою)
«И буду жить я ради Него отныне»
(И буду жить я ради Него отныне)
«Благодарю Тебя, Господи Иисусе
Что спас меня Своей драгоценной кровью»
(Благодарю Тебя, Господи Иисусе)
(Что спас меня Своей драгоценной кровью)
«Во имя Иисуса, аминь»
(Во имя Иисуса, аминь)
Отлично, а теперь, запомните этот день
Это начало вашей новой жизни — вашей НАСТОЯЩЕЙ жизни

[Del I: "Sing About Me"]

[Refräng]
När ljusen släcks och det är min tur
Att slappna av, min största oro
Lova att du kommer sjunga om mig
Lova att du kommer sjunga om mig
Jag sa när ljusen släcks och det är min tur
Att slappna av, min största oro
Lova att du kommer sjunga om mig
Lova att du kommer sjunga om mig

[Vers 1]
Jag vaknade imorse och tänkte att jag borde ringa dig
Ifall jag inte är här imorgon
Jag hoppas att jag kan låna
Lite av din tid, jag är bakom vad som faktiskt är viktigt
Mitt sinne är helt förvrängt
Jag hittar inget annat än problem i mitt liv
Jag har tur du tror på en dröm
Detta barnhem vi kallar ghetto är ganska rutin
Och förra natten var bara en annan distration
Eller en reaktion på vad vi anser vara galenskap
Jag vet exakt vad som hände
Du sprang ut när du hörde min brorsa gråta efter hjälp
Höll han som ett nyfött barn och fick han känna
Som allting var okej i en kamp han försökte starta
Men typen av kullan som slog
Gick emot hans vilja, dеt är blod på dina händer
Mina planner är ganska hämndlysten
Alla är еtt offer i mina ögon
När jag kör är det en mordisk rytm
Och utanför blev helt svart
En demon fast på min rygg, viskar "Ta dem!"
Jag tog dem och jag bryr mig inte
Samma mentalitet sa jag till min bror att inte ducka
I själva verket är det konstigt hur vi bråkar om färger
Jag undrar om jag någonsin kommer upptäcka en passion som du och återhämta
Livet som jag kände som ett barn
I pyjamas och kalsonger
När åska kommer regnar det katter och hundar dumma
Niggas som mig blomstrar aldrig
Prognos för ett problembarn, jag är stolt och väl hängiven
Denna Piru skit vart i mig för alltid
Så för alltid kommer jag trycka det, vart som helst, när som helst
Och jag äslkar dig för du älskade min bror som du gjorde
Bara lova mig du kommer berätta den här historian när du blir stor
Och om jag dör innan ditt album släpps, hoppas jag- [Skott]

[Refräng]
Lova att du kommer sjunga om mig
Lova att du kommer sjunga om mig
Jag sa när ljusen släcks och det är min tur
Att slappna av, min största oro
Lova att du kommer sjunga om mig
Lova att du kommer sjunga om mig

[Vers 2]
Du skrev en sång om min syster på din skiva
Och kallade den Section.80
Budskapet liknade "Brenda's Got a Baby"
Vad som är galet var jag hörde om den
Men tvivlade på din okunnighet
Hur kunde du skämma ut henne och skit?
Dömer hennes förflutna och skit?
Det är helt och hållet min framtid
Hennes nigga bakom mig nu frågar efter henne och skit
Och jag kommer behöva fyratusen kronor
Även om jag knullar, suger och sväljer
På parkeringenm Gonzales Park, jag är förföljd
Av en gift man, en trebarnspappa
Mina tuttar studsar på kadensen på hans klingande nycklar
Faktum är, han min favorit för han dricksar mig med E
Det här är livet av en annan tjej trasigt av systemet
Dessa fosterhem, jag sprang iväg och saknar aldrig dem
Kolla, mina hormoner sprang nyss iväg och om jag kan få dem
Tillbaka till vart de brukade vara, då är jag nog i jeansen
I ett släktträd som visar kvinnor hur man är kvinna
Eller bättre, en ledare, du behöver henne för att lära dig något
Sen behöver du antagligen slå henne, det var så jag blev lärd
Tre niggas i ett rum, första gången jag blev kastad runt
Och jag är trött, men fuck "Beklagar din förlust" skit
Min syster dog förgäves, men vilken poäng försöker du vinna
Om du inte får plats med pumparna jag går i?
Jag väntar... Ditt motbevis lite för sent
Och om du hade ett albumdatum, bara se till jag inte är i sången
För jag behöver inte uppmärksamheten, får nog av det på egen hand
Och faktum är, nämnde jag att jag mår bättre fysiskt?
En doktors godkännande är slöseri på tid, jag vet jag är okej
Jag kommer antagligen leva längre än dig och aldrig försvina
Jag kommer aldrig försvinna, jag kommer aldrig försvinna, jag vet mitt öde
Och jag jobbar för tårtan, jag kommer få det eller dö försöka
Jag tittar på varje manligt kön med avsikter att köpa
Du ljuger till dessa motherfuckers
Pratar om du kan hjälpa de med min historia
Du kan hjälpa mig om du säljer denna fitta för mig, nigga
Ignorera inte mig, nigga, fuck din ära, nigga, du är inte skitt...

[Vers 3]
Ibland kollar jag i spegeln
Och frågar mig själv: Är jag rädd för att dö?
Om det är idag, hoppas jag att jag hör ett
Gråt från himlen så högt det kan vattna ner en demon
Med den Heliga Anden tills den dränks i blodet av Jesus
Jag skreva några rap sånger som ser att min livlina luktade
Doften av liemannen, ser till att min lojalitet
Med den andra sidan kommer snart, och om jag är dömd
Må min moders livmoder vara välsignad för många månar
Jag lider mycket
Och varje dag blir den där glasspegeln svårare att titta på
Jag knyter min mage i knutar
Och jag är inte säker på varför jag är förälskad i döden
Min fantasi är säkert en förvärring av hot
Som kan uppstå, för tungan är mäktigt kraftfullt
Och jag kan säga en lista av dina favoriter som antagligen kan bekräfta
Kanske för att jag är en drömmare och sömn är kusinen av döden
Verkligen fast i schemat att undra när jag ska vila
Och du har rätt, din bror var en bror för mig
Och din systers situation var den som lockade mig
I en riktning att prata om något
Som är viktigare än TV skärmen
På riktigt, försökte inte förolämpa eller komma mellan
Hennes personliga liv, jag tänkte "Det måste berättas"
Förbannar livet för tjugo generationer efter hennes själ
Är exakt vad som skulle hända om jag inte fortsätte rappa
Eller vara distraherad av pengar, droger och 4-5:or
Jag räknar liv, alla på dessa sånger
Kolla på de svaga och gråt, ber en dag att du kommer bli stark
Och hoppas att iallafall en av er sjunger om mig när jag är borta
Är jag värd det? La jag ner tillräckligt med arbete?

[Outro]
Lova att du kommer att sjunga om mig för alltid
Lova att du kommer att sjunga om mig för- ooooh
Lova att du kommer att sjunga om mig för alltid
Lova att du kommer att sjunga om mig för- ooooh
Lova att du kommer att sjunga om mig för alltid
Lova att du kommer att sjunga om mig för- ooooh
Lova att du kommer att sjunga om mig för alltid
Lova att du kommer att sjunga om mig för- ooooh

"Ay, ay, ay, vart ska du?"
"Nigga, killens brorsa-nigga, här, han är borta, nigga, han är borta!"
"Hey, kom till butiken för en nigga, en gång."
"Vi är här nu, nigga, vi-nigga, vi är här, nigga."
"Ge tillbaka honom!"
"Nigga-bror-nigga, de dödade nyss killens brorsa, nigga. Vi är här nu, nigga... Ok-okej, nigga-nigga, bara kom-okej, okej, bara ring tillbaka, mannen, bara ring tillbaka."
"Ge tillbaka honom!"
(*Lägger på*)
"Ahh, fuck... Så, så, vad ska vi göra, niggas? Vad ska vi göra?"
"Bror, vi kan åka tillbaka nu, nigga. Nigga, jag bryr mig inte, nigga, vi kan åka tillbaka nu."
"Fuck! Jag är trött på all skit! Jag är trött att fucking springa, jag är trött på denna skit! Min brorder, bror!"

[Vers 1]
Trött på att springa, trött på att jaga
Min egna art, men får inget tillbaka
Däcken skriker stadigt, föraren har
Händerna på ratten, vem sa att vi inte
Dör av törst, dör av törst, dör av törst?

[Vers 2]
Droger på hörnen, kolla på rättsläkaren
Dotter är död, mamma sörger henne
Rake kulor, AK kulor
Återupplivning väntade tålmodigt, men de kunde inte
Få tillbaka henne, vem har filmen?
Kanel 9, kamerorna kollar
Det är svårt att visa din energi när du vet han korrupt
Förlängt mag, dela hans bananpudding
Jag är som Tre, det är Cuba Gooding
Jag vet jag är bra på att
Dö av törst, dö av törst, dö av törst?

[Vers 3]
Hur många synder? Jag börjar få slut
Hur många synder? Jag tappade räkningen
Drömmat att spela som Spalding
Men bara bössan studsar
Liemannen ringer, min mun är torr
Pengar är makt (Pengar är makt)
Ditt är vårt (Ditt är vårt)
Ligg med en tjallare, dö med en fegis
Hoppas vi blir rika, hoppas vi kan stå högt
Över staden med fåfänga med musiken högre
Samma sång, en svart blomma
Jag ska visa dig hur man
Färgar din törst, färgar din törst, färgar din törst

[Vers 4]
Vad gör vi? Vem försöker vi lura?
Helveter är varmt, eld är bevisat
Att brinna för evigt, återkomsten av studenten
Som aldrig lärde sig hur man lever rättfärdig men hur man skjuter den
Trött på att springa, körerna nynnar
Säger till oss att besöka, vi ljuger om att komma
Nu tillbaka till ämnet, laddar pistolerna i
Bakluckan av en Buick, din ort fejdar
Kampen bubblar, det är ingen diskussion
Ärftlig, alla mina kusiner
Dör av törst, dör av törst, dör av törst

[Vers 5]
För många synder, jag börjar få slut
Någon skicka mig en brunn för torkan
Se allt jag vet är ta anteckningar
På att ta detta liv för givet, givet, om han provocerar
Mina bästa dagar, jag stressar dagar
Säger "fuck världen," min sexslav
Pengar, fitta, och girighet-vad vill jag ha här näst?
Vad det än är, vet det är min nästa grav
Trött på att springa, trött på att springa, trött på att ramla
Trött på att springa, trött på att ramla - baklänges
Min mamma sa "Kolla, en präst gav mig ett löfte
Vad om idag var uppryckningen och du helt nedsmutsad?
Sanningen kommer sätta dig fri, så var ärlig mot mig
Du dör av törst, du dör av törst
Så hoppa in i vattnet, och be att det funkar."

[Sketch/Outro]
"Fuck! Jag är trött på denna skit!
Jag är trött på att fucking springa, jag är trött på denna skit!
Det är min broder, bror!
Unga man, kom prata med mig! Är det vad jag tror det är?
Varför är du så arg?
Kolla, ni unga män dör av törst
Vet ni vad det betyder?
Det betyder ni behöver vatten, heligt vatten
Ni behöver bli döpta, med Herrens anda
Vill ni ta emot Gud som din personliga frälsare?
Okej, säg efter mig:
"Herren Gud, jag kommer till Dig en syndare."
("Herren Gud, jag kommer till Dig en syndare)
"Och jag ångrar mig ödmjukt för mina synder"
(Och jag ångrar mig ödmjukt för mina synder)
"Jag tror att Jesus är Herren."
(Jag tror att Jesus är Herren)
"Jag tror Du återupplivade han från de döda."
(Jag tror Du återupplivade han från de döda)
"Jag skulle fråga att Jesus kom till mitt liv."
(Jag skulle fråga att Jesus kom till mitt liv)
"Och vara min Herre och Frälsare."
(Och vara min Herre och Frälsare)
"Jag tar emot Jesus att ta kontroll över mitt liv."
(Jag tar emot Jesus att ta kontroll över mitt liv)
"Och att jag kanske lever för Han från denna dag framåt."
(Och att jag kanske lever för Han från denna dag framåt)
"Tack, Herre Jesus
För att Du rädda mig med Ditt dyrbara blod."
(Tack, Herre Jesus
För att Du rädda mig med Ditt dyrbara blod)
"I Jesus namn, amen."
(I Jesus namn, amen)
Okej, kom ihåg denna dag
Starten på ett nytt liv - ditt RIKTIGA liv

[Kısım I: “Sing About Me”]

[Nakarat]
Işıklar söndüğünde
Ve benim göçme zamanım geldiğinde, tek endişem
Benim hakkımda söyleyeceğine söz ver
Benim hakkımda söyleyeceğine söz ver
Dedim ki, ışıklar söndüğünde
Ve benim göçme zamanım geldiğinde, tek endişem
Benim hakkımda söyleyeceğine söz ver
Benim hakkımda söyleyeceğine söz ver

[Verse 1]
Bu sabah uyandım ve seni aramam gerektiğini düşündüm
Yarın burada olmamam ihtimaline karşı
Umuyorum ki senden biraz akıl alabilirim
Neyin önemli olduğunun farkında değilim, kafam karmakarışık
Hayatımda beladan başka bir şey yok
Şanslıyım ki senin bir hayalin var
Bizim ghetto dediğimiz bu yetimhanede her şey rutin
Ve dün gece bir başka oyalama
Ya da bu deliliğin bir tepkisiydi
Ne olduğunu çok iyi biliyorum
Kardeşim yardım için çırpınırken dışarıya koştun
Onu, yeni doğmuş bir bebek gibi tuttun
Verdiği mücadelede her şey iyiymiş gibi hissetmesini sağladın
Fakat sıkışan o mermi, onun kaderine karşı gitti, kanı ellerine yayıldı
Planım kindarca
Gözümde herkes bir kurban
Dışarı çıktığımda ortalığa ölüm saçılır
Etraf zifiri karanlığa bürünür
Sırtıma yapışmış bir şeytan fısıldıyor, “Hakla onları!”
Hakladım onları ve sikimde değildi
Kardeşime eğilmemesini söylediğimle aynı mantalite
Aslında, renkler yüzünden gerginlik çıkarmamız bir tuzak
Merak ediyorum da acaba ben de seninki gibi bir tutku bulup iyileşir miyim
Pijama ve külotlarla takıldığımız küçüklüğümüzdeki zamanları hatırlıyorum
Gök gürültüsü duyulduğunda şakır şakır yağmur yağar
Benim gibi aptal zenciler asla başarılı olmaz
Problemli çocuğun kaderi, gurur duyuyorum ve buna adıyorum kendimi
Bu Piru haltı hep içimdeydi
O yüzden bunu hep devam ettireceğim, nerede olursa, ne zaman olursa
Ve ben seni seviyorum çünkü kardeşimi benim gibi sevdin
Sadece, şöhret olduğunda bu hikayeyi anlatacağına söz ver
Ve eğer albümün çıkmadan ölürsem, umarım--- [Silah sesleri]

[Nakarat]
Benim hakkımda söyleyeceğine söz ver
Benim hakkımda söyleyeceğine söz ver
Dedim ki, ışıklar söndüğünde
Ve benim göçme zamanım geldiğinde, tek endişem
Benim hakkımda söyleyeceğine söz ver
Benim hakkımda söyleyeceğine söz ver

[Verse 2]
Kardeşim hakkında bir şarkı yazdın senin kasetinde
Ve ona Section.80 dedin
Verdiği mesaj “Brenda’s Got a Baby”i anımsattı
Saçma olan şey onu duyduğum zaman
Cahilliğine verdim
Nasıl olur da onu ateşe atarsın?
Geçmişini falan yargılarsın?
Bu tam anlamıyla benim geleceğim
Onun adamı arkamda götümü falan istiyor
Ve benim o kırk dolara ihtiyacım var
Yatmam, yalamam ve yutmam gerekse bile
Otoparkta, Gonzales Park’ta, takip edildim
Evli ve üç çocuk babası bir adam tarafından
Göğüslerim onun tıngırdayan anahtarlarına ritim tutuyor
Aslına bakarsan, o benim favorim çünkü hap ile ödeme yapıyor
Onun, David adında bir kuzeni var ve onunla geçen hafta görüştüm
Bu, sistem tarafından hasar görmüş bir başka kızın hayatı
Yetim evlerinden kaçtım ve o görüşmeleri hiç kaçırmadım
Hormonlarım alt-üst oldu
Eğer onları eski haline getirebilirsem, o zaman muhtemelen
Kadınlara nasıl kadın olunacağını gösteren düzgün bir aileden olurdum
Ya da daha iyisi, bir lider olurdum, onun bir şeyler öğrenmesi lazım
Sonra belki onu dövmen gerekirdi, bana böyle öğretildi
Bir odada üç zenci, ilk seferim böyleydi
Ben yoruldum, ama “Kaybın için üzgünüm.” haltını sikeyim
Kız kardeşim acı içinde öldü ama hayata benim gözümden bakamıyorken
Neyi ispatlamaya çalışıyorsun?
Bekleyeceğim… geç de olsa yanlış olduğunu anlamanı
Ve eğer albüm çıkaracaksan, benim bir şarkıda olmadığımdan emin ol
Çünkü benim ilgiye ihtiyacım yok, kendim yeterince ilgi çekiyorum
Ve bu arada, fiziksel olarak çok iyi hissettiğimi söylemiş miydim?
Bir doktorun muayenesi zaman kaybı, sağlıklı olduğumu biliyorum
Muhtemelen senden uzun yaşayacağım ve asla kaybolmayacağım
Asla kaybolmayacağım, asla kaybolmayacağım, kaderimi biliyorum
Ve para için çabalıyorum, bunu elde edeceğim ya da çabalarken öleceğim
Her bir erkeği alıcı gözüyle inceliyorum
Bu sikiklere yalan söylüyorsun
Benim hikayemle onlara yardım edebileceğinden bahsediyorsun
Bana yardım edebilirsin eğer bu amcığı benim için satabilirsen, zenci
Beni görmezden gelme zenci, sikeyim senin şanını zenci, bir bok değilsin sen

[Verse 3]
Bazen aynaya bakıyorum
Ve kendime soruyorum: Gerçekten göçüp gitmekten korkuyor muyum?
Eğer bugün olacaksa umarım cennetten güçlü bir ağlayış duyar
Ve bu da Kutsal Ruh sayesinde şeytanı kana boğar
Ölüm kokan bir hayatım olduğunu gösteren
Diğer tarafla olan bağlılığımı sağlayan birkaç rap yazdım ve eğer göçersem
May the womb of my mother be blessed for many moons
Çok fazla acı çekiyorum
Ve her geçen gün o aynaya bakmak zorlaşıyor
Midem düğümleniyor
Ölümle neden bu kadar takıntılıyım bilmiyorum
Hayal gücüm olabilecek kötü şeylerden ibaret
Çünkü dil güçlü bir şeydir ve senin favorilerinden, buna tanık olacak bir liste çıkartabilirim
Belki de hayalperest olduğum ve uyku ölümün kuzeni olduğu içindir
Ne zaman göçeceğimi merak ettiğim bir düzen içinde sıkışıp kaldım
Ve sen haklısın, senin erkek kardeşin benim erkek kardeşimdir
Ve senin kız kardeşinin durumu beni TV ekranlarından daha gerçekçi bir şeyler hakkında konuşmaya itendi
Ama ne olursa olsun kimseyi incitmeye ya da hayatına karışmaya çalışmıyordum
Düşündüm ki: “Bunun anlatılması gerekiyor.”
Ondan sonraki yirmi jenerasyon lanetlenmesin istedim
Tam olarak olacaklar buydu eğer rap yapmaya devam etmeseydim
Ya da para, uyuşturucular ve dört-beşlikler tarafından aklım çelinseydi
Yaşamlara değer veriyorum bu şarkıların hepsinde
Zayıfa bakıp ağlıyorum, bir gün güçlenmen için
Hatalı olsan bile hakkın olan için savaşman için dua ediyorum
Ve umarım sizlerden birisi ben göçtüğümde benim hakkımda söyler
Buna değer miyim? Yeterince çabaladım mı?

[Köprü]
Benim hakkımda sonsuza kadar söyleyeceğine söz ver
Benim hakkımda sonsuza kadar söyleyeceğine söz—ooooh
Benim hakkımda sonsuza kadar söyleyeceğine söz ver
Benim hakkımda sonsuza kadar söyleyeceğine söz—ooooh
Benim hakkımda sonsuza kadar söyleyeceğine söz ver
Benim hakkımda sonsuza kadar söyleyeceğine söz—ooooh

[Kısım II: "I'm Dying of Thirst"]

[Kesit]
(Telefonda)
“Hey, hey, hey nereye gidiyorsun?”
“Adamım, arkadaşımın kardeşi—adamım, orada, öldü, adamım, öldü!”
“Adamım—arkadaşımızın kardeşini öldürdüler adamım. Mahalledeyiz, kanka.”
“Ta-tamam, adamım—adamım gel—tamam, tamam, sadece beni geri ara adamım, sadece beni geri ara.”
[Telefonu kapatır]
“Ahhhh… Sikeyim!
Ne yapacağız, dostlar? Ne yapacağız?”
“Kanka, hemen şimdi geri gidebiliriz. Yani… zenci, sikimde değil adamım. Hemen şimdi geri gidebiliriz.”
“Sikeyim! Bıktım artık bu boktan! Bıktım artık kaçmaktan, bıktım artık! Bu benim kardeşim, adamım!”

[Verse 1]
Yoruldum kaçmaktan, yoruldum kovalamaktan
Benim halkım, asla bırakmıyor
Lastikler gıcırdamaya devam ediyor, sürücüler sürüyor
Elleri direksiyonda, kim söyledi bizim
Susuzluktan ölmediğimizi, susuzluktan ölmediğimizi, susuzluktan ölmediğimizi?

[Verse 2]
Köşelerde mallar, şu yargıca bak bir
Kız ölmüş, annesi ağlıyor
Rasgele kurşunlar, AK kurşunları
Dirilmesini beklediler sabırla, ama başaramadılar
Onu geri getiremediler, kimde var görüntüler?
Channel 9’da, kameralar çekiyor
Onun yozlaşmış olduğunu bilirken enerjini aktarmak zor
Muz şarjörleri, yarıyor onun muz pudingini
Tre gibiyim, Cuba Gooding
Biliyorum ben iyiyim
Susuzluktan ölmede, susuzluktan ölmede, susuzluktan ölmede

[Verse 3]
Kaç günah oldu? Ben tükeniyorum
Kaç günah oldu? Sayamıyorum
Topçu olma hayalleri, Spalding gibi
Ama seken tek şey pompalılar
Ölüm çağırıyor, ağzım kuruyor
Para güçtür (Para güçtür)
Seninkiler bizimdir (Seninkiler bizimdir)
İspiyoncuyla takılırsan ölürsün bir korkakla
Umarım zengin oluruz, umarım bangırdayan müzikle gösteriş yapılan bu şehirde yükseliriz
Aynı şarkı, bir siyah çiçek
Sana göstereceğim nasıl
Gidereceğini susuzluğunu, susuzluğunu, susuzluğunu

[Verse 4]
Ne yapıyoruz? Kimi kandırıyoruz?
Cehennem sıcak, ateş yakacak sonsuza kadar
Dindar yaşamayı asla öğrenmemiş ancak nasıl vuracağını öğrenmiş öğrencinin dönüşü
Kaçmaktan yoruldum, koro mırıldanıyor
Bize, gelmemizi söylüyor; biz yalanlarla geçiştiriyoruz
Şimdi dönelim işe, silahları dolduruyoruz
Arabanın arkasında, mahallen anlaşmazlık içinde
Kavga hararetli, tartışmasız
Bu olay irsi, tüm kuzenlerim ölüyor susuzluktan, susuzluktan, susuzluktan

[Verse 5]
Çok fazla günah, tükeniyorum
Birisi bir kuyu göndersin şu kuraklığıma
Tek bildiğim notlar almak
O kışkırtırsa diye, hayatı değersiz görme üzerine
En iyi günlerim, endişelenirim o günlerde
(Tanrım, beni tüm günahlarım ve bilmediklerim için affet--)
En iyi günlerim, endişelenirim o günlerde
“Dünyayı sikeyim” de benim seks kölem
Para, amcık, ve aç gözlülük – sıradaki açlığım neye?
Her ne olursa, biliyorum ki o benim sıradaki mezarım
Kaçmaktan yoruldum, kaçmaktan yoruldum, düşmekten yoruldum
Kaçmaktan yoruldum, düşmekten yoruldum
Eskiden annem derdi ki: “Bir papaza görün, bana söz ver
Ya bugün kıyamet günü olsaydı ve sen tamamen günaha batmış olsaydın?
Hakikat seni özgür kılacak, bu yüzden bana karşı tamamen dürüst ol
Susuzluktan ölüyorsun, susuzluktan ölüyorsun
O yüzden atla şu suyun içine ve işe yaraması için dua et.”

[Kesit/Çıkış]
“Sikeyim! Bıktım artık bu boktan! Bıktım artık kaçmaktan, bıktım artık! Bu benim kardeşim, adamım!”
Genç adam, gel bir konuşalım. O şey düşündüğüm şey mi?
Biliyorum ki o düşündüğüm şey değil. Neden bu kadar öfkelisin?
Bak, siz genç adamlar susuzluktan ölüyorsunuz. Bunun ne anlama geldiğini biliyor musunuz?
Bunun anlamı, sizin suya ihtiyacınız var, kutsal suya
Sizlerin vaftiz edilmesi gerekiyor, Tanrı’nın ruhuyla
Tanrı’yı kurtarıcınız olarak kabul ediyor musunuz?
Tamam öyleyse, benden sonra tekrar edin:
“Yüce Tanrım, bir günahkâr olarak geldim sana.”
(Yüce Tanrım, bir günahkâr olarak geldim sana.)
“Ve günahlarım için dürüstçe tövbe ediyorum.”
(Ve günahlarım için dürüstçe tövbe ediyorum.)
“İsa’nın Yüce olduğuna inanıyorum.”
(İsa’nın Yüce olduğuna inanıyorum.)
“Senin onu ölümden döndürdüğüne inanıyorum.”
(Senin onu ölümden döndürdüğüne inanıyorum.)
“İsa’nın hayatıma girmesini istiyorum.”
(İsa’nın hayatıma girmesini istiyorum.)
“Ve benim Yüce’m ve Kurtacı’m olmasını istiyorum.”
(Ve benim Yüce’m ve Kurtacı’m olmasını istiyorum.)
“İsa’nın hayatımı kontrol etmesini istiyorum”
(İsa’nın hayatımı kontrol etmesini istiyorum.)
“Ve bugünden itibaren onun için yaşamayı kabul ediyorum.”
(Ve bugünden itibaren onun için yaşamayı kabul ediyorum.)
“Teşekkürler Yüce İsa, beni değerli kanın ile kurtardığın için.”
(Teşekkürler Yüce İsa, beni değerli kanın ile kurtardığın için.)
“İsa adına, amin.”
(İsa adına, amin.)
Tamamdır, bugünü hatırlayın
Yeni bir hayatın başlangıcı – GERÇEK hayatınızın
