Jimmy Iovine
Ben Haggerty, Ryan Scott Lewis, H. L. Stevens
I put my life on the line
I roll them dice and I'm fine
'Cause all I ever dreamt about was makin' it
They ain't giving it, I'm taking it
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
I'm taking it, taking it, I need all that shit
If I just went in and stole it, the police would of notice
Gotta be strategic, creepin', go in, leave with that motive
Hold up, my plan is forming, alright, caseing this building
Watch these rappers that rappin' walk in and leave out with millions
Headed in sweatin', open that front door
Interscope printed out right by the entrance, door closes
Not a metaphor, then I start towards
That front, that's right, where you check in
Dressed in an uniform, acting like a janitor
All blue, jumpsuit, why shoot?
Bloodthirsty for the money like a bull
Looking in the eyes of the matador (fuck you!)
Carrying 2 cans of paint, security looks at me awkward
I say third floor I'm late, paintin' jimmy iovine's office
Holding my breath 'bout to faint
I'm scared to death that he stops me
Heart beating so loud you can hear the echo in that lobby
And see I'm breaking down if I don't make it out
Then I'm leaving town with that contract
And I'm spazzing out, grabbin' the a&r out
His chair and I'm taking him hostage
I don't give a fuck, step into the elevator press 3
Now I'm headed up (heist!)
What they don't know is there is a gun in the paint can
And I'm ready and willing to bust 'em, I'm fucking desperate
Stuck in this recession, now what you think
If I could get signed my life is destined
My future depends on ink
And secretary at the front of the entrance staring right at me
I walk up she whispers go ahead and then gives me a wink
I put my life on the line
I roll them dice and I'm fine
'Cause all I ever dreamt about was makin' it
They ain't giving it, I'm taking it
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
I'm taking it, taking it, I need all that shit
If I get past security, the secretary, the cubicals
But it's weird, it's like this room I've walked into is unusual
Thought it would be shiny and beautiful
Thought it would be alive and like musical
But it feels like someone died, it's got the vibe of a funeral
There's numbers on a chalkboard
Cds boxed in cardboard
Artists that flopped, that got dropped and never got to be sophomores
Graphic designers are sitting around
Waiting for albums that never come out
Complainin' that they have nobody in house
Wonderin' what they make art for
I start thinking, am I in the right place?
Just walk forward, see plaques on the wall
Oh yea, in a second those will be all yours
Finally see an office with a mounted sign, heaven sent
Big block silver letters, read it out loud: president (nice!)
This was my chance to grab that contract and turn and jet
Right then felt a cold hand grab on the back of my neck
He said: we've been watching you, so glad you could make it
Your music gets so impressive in this whole brand you created
You're one hell of a band, we here think you're destined for greatness
And with that right song we all know that you're next to be famous
Now I'm sorry, I've had a long day remind me, now what your name is?
That's right, Macklemore, of course, today has been crazy
Anyway, you ready? We'll give you a hundred thousand dollars
After your album comes out we'll need back that money that you borrowed
So it's really like a loan, a loan? Come on, no
We're a team, 360 degrees, we will reach your goals!
We'll get a third of the merch that you sell out on the road
Along with a third of the money you make when you're out doing your shows
Manager gets 20, booking agent gets 10
So shit, after taxes you and ryan have 7% to split
That's not bad, I've seen a lot worse, no one will give you a better offer than us (hmm)
I replied I appreciate the offer, thought that this is what I wanted
Rather be a starving artist than succeed at getting fucked
I put my life on the line
Eu arrisco minha vida
I roll them dice and I'm fine
Eu jogo os dados e estou bem
'Cause all I ever dreamt about was makin' it
Porque tudo que eu sempre sonhei foi em conseguir
They ain't giving it, I'm taking it
Eles não estão dando, eu estou pegando
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Estou pegando, pegando, eles não estão dando
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Estou pegando, pegando, eles não estão dando
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Estou pegando, pegando, eles não estão dando
I'm taking it, taking it, I need all that shit
Estou pegando, pegando, eu preciso de toda essa merda
If I just went in and stole it, the police would of notice
Se eu apenas entrasse e roubasse, a polícia notaria
Gotta be strategic, creepin', go in, leave with that motive
Tenho que ser estratégico, rastejando, entrar, sair com esse motivo
Hold up, my plan is forming, alright, caseing this building
Espere, meu plano está se formando, tudo bem, observando este prédio
Watch these rappers that rappin' walk in and leave out with millions
Vejo esses rappers que estão entrando e saindo com milhões
Headed in sweatin', open that front door
Entrando suando, abrindo aquela porta da frente
Interscope printed out right by the entrance, door closes
Interscope impresso bem na entrada, a porta se fecha
Not a metaphor, then I start towards
Não é uma metáfora, então eu começo em direção
That front, that's right, where you check in
Aquela frente, isso mesmo, onde você se registra
Dressed in an uniform, acting like a janitor
Vestido com um uniforme, agindo como um zelador
All blue, jumpsuit, why shoot?
Macacão azul, por que atirar?
Bloodthirsty for the money like a bull
Sedento pelo dinheiro como um touro
Looking in the eyes of the matador (fuck you!)
Olhando nos olhos do toureiro (foda-se!)
Carrying 2 cans of paint, security looks at me awkward
Carregando 2 latas de tinta, a segurança me olha estranho
I say third floor I'm late, paintin' jimmy iovine's office
Eu digo terceiro andar estou atrasado, pintando o escritório do Jimmy Iovine
Holding my breath 'bout to faint
Segurando minha respiração prestes a desmaiar
I'm scared to death that he stops me
Estou com medo de morrer que ele me pare
Heart beating so loud you can hear the echo in that lobby
Coração batendo tão alto que você pode ouvir o eco naquele saguão
And see I'm breaking down if I don't make it out
E vejo que estou desmoronando se eu não sair
Then I'm leaving town with that contract
Então estou deixando a cidade com aquele contrato
And I'm spazzing out, grabbin' the a&r out
E estou surtando, agarrando o a&r
His chair and I'm taking him hostage
Da cadeira e estou levando ele como refém
I don't give a fuck, step into the elevator press 3
Eu não dou a mínima, entro no elevador pressiono 3
Now I'm headed up (heist!)
Agora estou subindo (roubo!)
What they don't know is there is a gun in the paint can
O que eles não sabem é que há uma arma na lata de tinta
And I'm ready and willing to bust 'em, I'm fucking desperate
E estou pronto e disposto a atirar neles, estou desesperado
Stuck in this recession, now what you think
Preso nesta recessão, agora o que você acha
If I could get signed my life is destined
Se eu pudesse assinar minha vida está destinada
My future depends on ink
Meu futuro depende de tinta
And secretary at the front of the entrance staring right at me
E a secretária na frente da entrada olhando diretamente para mim
I walk up she whispers go ahead and then gives me a wink
Eu me aproximo ela sussurra vá em frente e então me dá uma piscada
I put my life on the line
Eu arrisco minha vida
I roll them dice and I'm fine
Eu jogo os dados e estou bem
'Cause all I ever dreamt about was makin' it
Porque tudo que eu sempre sonhei foi em conseguir
They ain't giving it, I'm taking it
Eles não estão dando, eu estou pegando
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Estou pegando, pegando, eles não estão dando
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Estou pegando, pegando, eles não estão dando
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Estou pegando, pegando, eles não estão dando
I'm taking it, taking it, I need all that shit
Estou pegando, pegando, eu preciso de toda essa merda
If I get past security, the secretary, the cubicals
Se eu passar pela segurança, a secretária, os cubículos
But it's weird, it's like this room I've walked into is unusual
Mas é estranho, é como se essa sala que eu entrei fosse incomum
Thought it would be shiny and beautiful
Pensei que seria brilhante e bonita
Thought it would be alive and like musical
Pensei que seria viva e como musical
But it feels like someone died, it's got the vibe of a funeral
Mas parece que alguém morreu, tem a vibe de um funeral
There's numbers on a chalkboard
Há números em um quadro negro
Cds boxed in cardboard
CDs encaixotados em papelão
Artists that flopped, that got dropped and never got to be sophomores
Artistas que fracassaram, que foram descartados e nunca chegaram a ser calouros
Graphic designers are sitting around
Designers gráficos estão sentados por aí
Waiting for albums that never come out
Esperando por álbuns que nunca saem
Complainin' that they have nobody in house
Reclamando que eles não têm ninguém na casa
Wonderin' what they make art for
Perguntando para que eles fazem arte
I start thinking, am I in the right place?
Começo a pensar, estou no lugar certo?
Just walk forward, see plaques on the wall
Apenas ande para frente, veja placas na parede
Oh yea, in a second those will be all yours
Oh sim, em um segundo essas serão todas suas
Finally see an office with a mounted sign, heaven sent
Finalmente vejo um escritório com uma placa montada, enviada do céu
Big block silver letters, read it out loud: president (nice!)
Grandes letras prateadas em bloco, leio em voz alta: presidente (legal!)
This was my chance to grab that contract and turn and jet
Esta era minha chance de pegar aquele contrato e sair correndo
Right then felt a cold hand grab on the back of my neck
Naquele momento senti uma mão fria agarrar na parte de trás do meu pescoço
He said: we've been watching you, so glad you could make it
Ele disse: nós estivemos observando você, tão feliz que você pôde vir
Your music gets so impressive in this whole brand you created

Agora me desculpe, tive um dia longo me lembre, qual é o seu nome mesmo?
That's right, Macklemore, of course, today has been crazy
Isso mesmo, Macklemore, claro, hoje foi louco
Anyway, you ready? We'll give you a hundred thousand dollars
De qualquer forma, você está pronto? Nós lhe daremos cem mil dólares
After your album comes out we'll need back that money that you borrowed

O gerente fica com 20, o agente de reservas fica com 10
So shit, after taxes you and ryan have 7% to split
Então merda, depois dos impostos você e Ryan têm 7% para dividir
That's not bad, I've seen a lot worse, no one will give you a better offer than us (hmm)
Isso não é ruim, já vi pior, ninguém lhe dará uma oferta melhor do que nós (hmm)
I replied I appreciate the offer, thought that this is what I wanted
Eu respondi que aprecio a oferta, pensei que isso era o que eu queria
Rather be a starving artist than succeed at getting fucked
Prefiro ser um artista faminto do que ter sucesso sendo fodido
I put my life on the line
Puse mi vida en la línea
I roll them dice and I'm fine
Tiro los dados y estoy bien

Tengo miedo de morir si me detiene
Heart beating so loud you can hear the echo in that lobby

But it's weird, it's like this room I've walked into is unusual
Pero es raro, es como si esta sala en la que he entrado fuera inusual

This was my chance to grab that contract and turn and jet
C'était ma chance de saisir ce contrat et de me tirer
Right then felt a cold hand grab on the back of my neck
Juste à ce moment-là, j'ai senti une main froide se poser sur l'arrière de mon cou

Along with a third of the money you make when you're out doing your shows
Ainsi qu'un tiers de l'argent que tu gagnes quand tu fais tes spectacles
Manager gets 20, booking agent gets 10
Le manager prend 20, l'agent de réservation prend 10
So shit, after taxes you and ryan have 7% to split
Alors merde, après les impôts, toi et Ryan avez 7% à partager
That's not bad, I've seen a lot worse, no one will give you a better offer than us (hmm)
Ce n'est pas mal, j'ai vu pire, personne ne te fera une meilleure offre que nous (hmm)
I replied I appreciate the offer, thought that this is what I wanted
J'ai répondu que j'appréciais l'offre, je pensais que c'était ce que je voulais
Rather be a starving artist than succeed at getting fucked
Je préfère être un artiste affamé que de réussir à me faire baiser.
I put my life on the line
Ich setze mein Leben aufs Spiel
I roll them dice and I'm fine
Ich würfle und es geht mir gut
'Cause all I ever dreamt about was makin' it
Denn alles, wovon ich jemals geträumt habe, war es zu schaffen
They ain't giving it, I'm taking it
Sie geben es nicht, ich nehme es mir
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Ich nehme es mir, nehme es mir, sie geben es nicht
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Ich nehme es mir, nehme es mir, sie geben es nicht
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Ich nehme es mir, nehme es mir, sie geben es nicht
I'm taking it, taking it, I need all that shit
Ich nehme es mir, nehme es mir, ich brauche all diesen Scheiß
If I just went in and stole it, the police would of notice
Wenn ich einfach reingegangen und es gestohlen hätte, hätten die Polizisten es bemerkt
Gotta be strategic, creepin', go in, leave with that motive
Muss strategisch vorgehen, schleichen, reingehen, mit diesem Motiv gehen
Hold up, my plan is forming, alright, caseing this building
Warte mal, mein Plan formt sich, okay, dieses Gebäude absuchen
Watch these rappers that rappin' walk in and leave out with millions
Beobachte diese Rapper, die reinkommen und mit Millionen rausgehen
Headed in sweatin', open that front door
Mit dem Schweiß auf der Stirn, öffne ich diese Vordertür
Interscope printed out right by the entrance, door closes
Interscope gedruckt direkt am Eingang, Tür schließt sich
Not a metaphor, then I start towards
Kein Metapher, dann starte ich in Richtung
That front, that's right, where you check in
Diese Front, genau da, wo man eincheckt
Dressed in an uniform, acting like a janitor
Verkleidet als Reinigungskraft, tue so, als ob ich ein Hausmeister wäre
All blue, jumpsuit, why shoot?
Alles blau, Overall, warum schießen?
Bloodthirsty for the money like a bull
Blutdurstig nach dem Geld wie ein Stier
Looking in the eyes of the matador (fuck you!)
Blicke in die Augen des Stierkämpfers (Scheiß drauf!)
Carrying 2 cans of paint, security looks at me awkward
Trage 2 Farbdosen, Sicherheit sieht mich komisch an
I say third floor I'm late, paintin' jimmy iovine's office
Ich sage, dritter Stock, ich bin spät dran, ich streiche Jim Iovines Büro
Holding my breath 'bout to faint
Halte den Atem an, kurz davor zu ohnmächtig zu werden
I'm scared to death that he stops me
Ich habe Todesangst, dass er mich aufhält
Heart beating so loud you can hear the echo in that lobby
Das Herz schlägt so laut, dass man das Echo in der Lobby hören kann
And see I'm breaking down if I don't make it out
Und sieh, ich breche zusammen, wenn ich es nicht schaffe
Then I'm leaving town with that contract
Dann verlasse ich die Stadt mit diesem Vertrag
And I'm spazzing out, grabbin' the a&r out
Und ich drehe durch, schnappe mir den A&R
His chair and I'm taking him hostage
Seinen Stuhl und nehme ihn als Geisel
I don't give a fuck, step into the elevator press 3
Ist mir egal, betrete den Aufzug, drücke die 3
Now I'm headed up (heist!)
Jetzt gehe ich hoch (Überfall!)
What they don't know is there is a gun in the paint can
Was sie nicht wissen, ist, dass sich in der Farbdose eine Waffe befindet
And I'm ready and willing to bust 'em, I'm fucking desperate
Und ich bin bereit und bereit, sie zu benutzen, ich bin verdammt verzweifelt
Stuck in this recession, now what you think
In dieser Rezession stecken, was denkst du jetzt
If I could get signed my life is destined
Wenn ich unterschreiben könnte, ist mein Leben vorherbestimmt
My future depends on ink
Meine Zukunft hängt von Tinte ab
And secretary at the front of the entrance staring right at me
Und die Sekretärin am Eingang starrt mich direkt an
I walk up she whispers go ahead and then gives me a wink
Ich gehe auf sie zu, sie flüstert Mach weiter und zwinkert mir zu
I put my life on the line
Ich setze mein Leben aufs Spiel
I roll them dice and I'm fine
Ich würfle und es geht mir gut
'Cause all I ever dreamt about was makin' it
Denn alles, wovon ich jemals geträumt habe, war es zu schaffen
They ain't giving it, I'm taking it
Sie geben es nicht, ich nehme es mir
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Ich nehme es mir, nehme es mir, sie geben es nicht
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Ich nehme es mir, nehme es mir, sie geben es nicht
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Ich nehme es mir, nehme es mir, sie geben es nicht
I'm taking it, taking it, I need all that shit
Ich nehme es mir, nehme es mir, ich brauche all diesen Scheiß
If I get past security, the secretary, the cubicals
Wenn ich an der Sicherheit, der Sekretärin, den Büros vorbeikomme
But it's weird, it's like this room I've walked into is unusual
Aber es ist komisch, es ist, als wäre dieser Raum, in den ich eingetreten bin, ungewöhnlich
Thought it would be shiny and beautiful
Dachte, es würde glänzend und schön sein
Thought it would be alive and like musical
Dachte, es wäre lebendig und musikalisch
But it feels like someone died, it's got the vibe of a funeral
Aber es fühlt sich an, als wäre jemand gestorben, es hat die Stimmung einer Beerdigung
There's numbers on a chalkboard
Da sind Zahlen auf einer Tafel
Cds boxed in cardboard
CDs in Kartons verpackt
Artists that flopped, that got dropped and never got to be sophomores
Künstler, die gefloppt sind, die fallen gelassen wurden und nie ihr zweites Album machen konnten
Graphic designers are sitting around
Grafikdesigner sitzen herum
Waiting for albums that never come out
Warten auf Alben, die nie herauskommen
Complainin' that they have nobody in house
Beschweren sich, dass sie niemanden im Haus haben
Wonderin' what they make art for
Fragen sich, wofür sie Kunst machen
I start thinking, am I in the right place?
Ich fange an zu denken, bin ich am richtigen Ort?
Just walk forward, see plaques on the wall
Gehe einfach weiter, sehe Auszeichnungen an der Wand
Oh yea, in a second those will be all yours
Oh ja, in einer Sekunde werden die alle dir gehören
Finally see an office with a mounted sign, heaven sent
Endlich sehe ich ein Büro mit einem Schild an der Wand, vom Himmel geschickt
Big block silver letters, read it out loud: president (nice!)
Große silberne Buchstaben, laut ausgesprochen: Präsident (schön!)
This was my chance to grab that contract and turn and jet
Das war meine Chance, diesen Vertrag zu schnappen und dann abzuhauen
Right then felt a cold hand grab on the back of my neck
In diesem Moment spürte ich eine kalte Hand an meinem Nacken
He said: we've been watching you, so glad you could make it
Er sagte: Wir haben dich beobachtet, freuen uns, dass du es geschafft hast
Your music gets so impressive in this whole brand you created
Deine Musik ist so beeindruckend in dieser ganzen Marke, die du geschaffen hast
You're one hell of a band, we here think you're destined for greatness
Ihr seid eine verdammte Band, wir glauben, dass du zu Größe bestimmt bist
And with that right song we all know that you're next to be famous
Und mit diesem richtigen Song wissen wir alle, dass du als Nächstes berühmt sein wirst
Now I'm sorry, I've had a long day remind me, now what your name is?
Jetzt entschuldige, ich hatte einen langen Tag, erinnere mich, wie war nochmal dein Name?
That's right, Macklemore, of course, today has been crazy
Richtig, Macklemore, natürlich, heute war verrückt
Anyway, you ready? We'll give you a hundred thousand dollars
Wie auch immer, bist du bereit? Wir geben dir hunderttausend Dollar
After your album comes out we'll need back that money that you borrowed
Nachdem dein Album erschienen ist, müssen wir das geliehene Geld zurückbekommen
So it's really like a loan, a loan? Come on, no
Also ist es eigentlich wie ein Kredit, ein Kredit? Komm schon, nein
We're a team, 360 degrees, we will reach your goals!
Wir sind ein Team, 360 Grad, wir werden deine Ziele erreichen!
We'll get a third of the merch that you sell out on the road

Zusammen mit einem Drittel des Geldes, das du verdienst, wenn du unterwegs bist und deine Shows machst

Der Manager bekommt 20, der Buchungsagent bekommt 10
So shit, after taxes you and ryan have 7% to split
Also, verdammt, nach Steuern habt ihr und Ryan 7% zu teilen
That's not bad, I've seen a lot worse, no one will give you a better offer than us (hmm)
Das ist nicht schlecht, ich habe schon Schlimmeres gesehen, niemand wird euch ein besseres Angebot machen als wir (hmm)
I replied I appreciate the offer, thought that this is what I wanted
Ich antwortete, ich schätze das Angebot, dachte, das sei es, was ich wollte
Rather be a starving artist than succeed at getting fucked
Würde lieber ein hungernder Künstler sein, als Erfolg zu haben und betrogen zu werden
I put my life on the line
Metto la mia vita in gioco
I roll them dice and I'm fine
Lancio quei dadi e sto bene
'Cause all I ever dreamt about was makin' it
Perché tutto ciò che ho sempre sognato era realizzarlo
They ain't giving it, I'm taking it
Non lo stanno dando, lo sto prendendo
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Lo sto prendendo, lo sto prendendo, non lo stanno dando
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Lo sto prendendo, lo sto prendendo, non lo stanno dando
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Lo sto prendendo, lo sto prendendo, non lo stanno dando
I'm taking it, taking it, I need all that shit
Lo sto prendendo, lo sto prendendo, ho bisogno di tutto questa roba
If I just went in and stole it, the police would of notice
Se fossi solo entrato e l'avessi rubato, la polizia se ne sarebbe accorta
Gotta be strategic, creepin', go in, leave with that motive
Devo essere strategico, strisciando, entro, esco con quel motivo
Hold up, my plan is forming, alright, caseing this building
Aspetta, il mio piano si sta formando, va bene, sto spiando questo edificio
Watch these rappers that rappin' walk in and leave out with millions
Guarda questi rapper che stanno rappando, entrano ed escono con milioni
Headed in sweatin', open that front door
Vado avanti sudando, apro quella porta d'ingresso
Interscope printed out right by the entrance, door closes
Interscope stampato proprio accanto all'entrata, la porta si chiude
Not a metaphor, then I start towards
Non è una metafora, poi mi dirigo verso
That front, that's right, where you check in
Quell'entrata, è giusto, dove si fa il check-in
Dressed in an uniform, acting like a janitor
Vestito con una divisa, facendo finta di essere un custode
All blue, jumpsuit, why shoot?
Tutto blu, tuta, perché sparare?
Bloodthirsty for the money like a bull
Assetato di denaro come un toro
Looking in the eyes of the matador (fuck you!)
Guardando negli occhi del mattatore (fanculo!)
Carrying 2 cans of paint, security looks at me awkward
Porto 2 lattine di vernice, la sicurezza mi guarda in modo strano
I say third floor I'm late, paintin' jimmy iovine's office
Dico che sono in ritardo al terzo piano, sto dipingendo l'ufficio di Jimmy Iovine
Holding my breath 'bout to faint
Trattenendo il respiro, sto per svenire
I'm scared to death that he stops me
Ho paura che mi fermi
Heart beating so loud you can hear the echo in that lobby
Il cuore batte così forte da sentirne l'eco in quell'atrio
And see I'm breaking down if I don't make it out
E vedi, sto crollando se non riesco a uscire
Then I'm leaving town with that contract
Allora me ne vado dalla città con quel contratto
And I'm spazzing out, grabbin' the a&r out
E sto impazzendo, afferrando l'a&r
His chair and I'm taking him hostage
La sua sedia e lo tengo in ostaggio
I don't give a fuck, step into the elevator press 3
Non me ne frega niente, entro nell'ascensore, premo il 3
Now I'm headed up (heist!)
Ora sto salendo (rapina!)
What they don't know is there is a gun in the paint can
Quello che non sanno è che c'è una pistola nella lattina di vernice
And I'm ready and willing to bust 'em, I'm fucking desperate
E sono pronto e disposto a sparargli, sono disperato
Stuck in this recession, now what you think
Bloccato in questa recessione, ora cosa pensi
If I could get signed my life is destined
Se potessi firmare il mio futuro è destinato
My future depends on ink
Il mio futuro dipende dall'inchiostro
And secretary at the front of the entrance staring right at me
E la segretaria all'ingresso mi sta guardando dritto negli occhi
I walk up she whispers go ahead and then gives me a wink
Mi avvicino, mi sussurra di andare avanti e mi fa un cenno
I put my life on the line
Metto la mia vita in gioco
I roll them dice and I'm fine
Lancio quei dadi e sto bene
'Cause all I ever dreamt about was makin' it
Perché tutto ciò che ho sempre sognato era realizzarlo
They ain't giving it, I'm taking it
Non lo stanno dando, lo sto prendendo
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Lo sto prendendo, lo sto prendendo, non lo stanno dando
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Lo sto prendendo, lo sto prendendo, non lo stanno dando
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Lo sto prendendo, lo sto prendendo, non lo stanno dando
I'm taking it, taking it, I need all that shit
Lo sto prendendo, lo sto prendendo, ho bisogno di tutto questa roba
If I get past security, the secretary, the cubicals
Se supero la sicurezza, la segretaria, le cabine
But it's weird, it's like this room I've walked into is unusual
Ma è strano, è come se questa stanza in cui sono entrato fosse insolita
Thought it would be shiny and beautiful
Pensavo che sarebbe stata luccicante e bellissima
Thought it would be alive and like musical
Pensavo che sarebbe stata viva e musicale
But it feels like someone died, it's got the vibe of a funeral
Ma sembra che qualcuno sia morto, ha l'atmosfera di un funerale
There's numbers on a chalkboard
Ci sono numeri su una lavagna
Cds boxed in cardboard
CD in scatole di cartone
Artists that flopped, that got dropped and never got to be sophomores
Artisti che sono falliti, che sono stati scaricati e non sono mai arrivati al secondo album
Graphic designers are sitting around
I grafici sono seduti in giro
Waiting for albums that never come out
Aspettando album che non verranno mai pubblicati
Complainin' that they have nobody in house
Lamentandosi di non avere nessuno in azienda
Wonderin' what they make art for
Chiedendosi per cosa fanno arte
I start thinking, am I in the right place?
Inizio a pensare, sono nel posto giusto?
Just walk forward, see plaques on the wall
Cammino avanti e vedo dischi d'oro appesi al muro
Oh yea, in a second those will be all yours
Oh sì, fra un attimo saranno tutti tuoi
Finally see an office with a mounted sign, heaven sent
Finalmente vedo un ufficio con un cartello montato, inviato dal cielo
Big block silver letters, read it out loud: president (nice!)
Grandi lettere argentate a blocchi, le leggo ad alta voce, presidente (bello!)
This was my chance to grab that contract and turn and jet
Questa era la mia occasione per prendere quel contratto e scappare
Right then felt a cold hand grab on the back of my neck
Proprio in quel momento ho sentito una mano fredda afferrarmi il collo
He said: we've been watching you, so glad you could make it
Mi ha detto, ti abbiamo osservato, siamo contenti che tu sia riuscito a farcela
Your music gets so impressive in this whole brand you created
La tua musica è così impressionante in tutto il marchio che hai creato
You're one hell of a band, we here think you're destined for greatness
Sei in un bel gruppo, noi pensiamo che tu sia destinato alla grandezza
And with that right song we all know that you're next to be famous
E con quella canzone giusta sappiamo tutti che sei il prossimo a diventare famoso
Now I'm sorry, I've had a long day remind me, now what your name is?
Ora mi dispiace, ho avuto una lunga giornata, ricordami, qual è il tuo nome?
That's right, Macklemore, of course, today has been crazy
Hai ragione, Macklemore, certo, oggi è stata pazzesco
Anyway, you ready? We'll give you a hundred thousand dollars
Comunque, sei pronto? Ti daremo centomila dollari
After your album comes out we'll need back that money that you borrowed
Dopo che il tuo album sarà uscito, ci serviranno indietro quei soldi che hai preso in prestito
So it's really like a loan, a loan? Come on, no
Quindi è davvero come un prestito, un prestito? Dai, no
We're a team, 360 degrees, we will reach your goals!
Siamo una squadra, 360 gradi, raggiungeremo i tuoi obiettivi!
We'll get a third of the merch that you sell out on the road
Avremo un terzo del merchandising che vendi sulla strada
Along with a third of the money you make when you're out doing your shows
Insieme a un terzo dei soldi che guadagni quando fai i tuoi spettacoli
Manager gets 20, booking agent gets 10
Il manager prende il 20%, l'agente di prenotazione il 10%
So shit, after taxes you and ryan have 7% to split
Quindi, dopo le tasse, tu e Ryan avete il 7% da dividere
That's not bad, I've seen a lot worse, no one will give you a better offer than us (hmm)
Non è male, ho visto molto di peggio, nessuno ti farà un'offerta migliore della nostra (hmm)
I replied I appreciate the offer, thought that this is what I wanted
Ho risposto, apprezzo l'offerta, pensavo che fosse quello che volevo
Rather be a starving artist than succeed at getting fucked
Preferirei essere un artista affamato che avere successo a farmi fregare
I put my life on the line
Saya mempertaruhkan hidup saya
I roll them dice and I'm fine
Saya melempar dadu dan saya baik-baik saja
'Cause all I ever dreamt about was makin' it
Karena yang pernah saya impikan adalah berhasil
They ain't giving it, I'm taking it
Mereka tidak memberikannya, saya mengambilnya
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Saya mengambilnya, mengambilnya, mereka tidak memberikannya
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Saya mengambilnya, mengambilnya, mereka tidak memberikannya
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Saya mengambilnya, mengambilnya, mereka tidak memberikannya
I'm taking it, taking it, I need all that shit
Saya mengambilnya, mengambilnya, saya butuh semua itu
If I just went in and stole it, the police would of notice
Jika saya masuk dan mencurinya, polisi pasti akan menyadarinya
Gotta be strategic, creepin', go in, leave with that motive
Harus strategis, merayap, masuk, keluar dengan motif itu
Hold up, my plan is forming, alright, caseing this building
Tunggu, rencana saya sedang terbentuk, baiklah, mengamati gedung ini
Watch these rappers that rappin' walk in and leave out with millions
Melihat para rapper yang rap masuk dan keluar dengan jutaan
Headed in sweatin', open that front door
Berkeringat, membuka pintu depan
Interscope printed out right by the entrance, door closes
Interscope tercetak tepat di pintu masuk, pintu tertutup
Not a metaphor, then I start towards
Bukan metafora, lalu saya mulai menuju
That front, that's right, where you check in
Bagian depan, tepat di mana Anda check in
Dressed in an uniform, acting like a janitor
Berpenampilan seperti tukang bersih-bersih
All blue, jumpsuit, why shoot?
Baju seragam biru, mengapa harus menembak?
Bloodthirsty for the money like a bull
Darah haus akan uang seperti banteng
Looking in the eyes of the matador (fuck you!)
Melihat mata matador (sialan kamu!)
Carrying 2 cans of paint, security looks at me awkward
Membawa 2 kaleng cat, satpam memandang saya aneh
I say third floor I'm late, paintin' jimmy iovine's office
Saya bilang lantai tiga saya terlambat, mengecat kantor jimmy iovine
Holding my breath 'bout to faint
Menahan napas hampir pingsan
I'm scared to death that he stops me
Saya takut mati dia menghentikan saya
Heart beating so loud you can hear the echo in that lobby
Jantung berdetak sangat keras Anda bisa mendengar gema di lobi itu
And see I'm breaking down if I don't make it out
Dan lihat, saya hancur jika saya tidak berhasil keluar
Then I'm leaving town with that contract
Maka saya akan meninggalkan kota dengan kontrak itu
And I'm spazzing out, grabbin' the a&r out
Dan saya mengamuk, menarik A&R keluar
His chair and I'm taking him hostage
Dari kursinya dan saya menyandera dia
I don't give a fuck, step into the elevator press 3
Saya tidak peduli, masuk ke lift tekan 3
Now I'm headed up (heist!)
Sekarang saya naik (pencurian!)
What they don't know is there is a gun in the paint can
Yang mereka tidak tahu adalah ada senjata di kaleng cat
And I'm ready and willing to bust 'em, I'm fucking desperate
Dan saya siap dan bersedia untuk meledakkannya, saya benar-benar putus asa
Stuck in this recession, now what you think
Terjebak dalam resesi ini, sekarang apa pendapat Anda
If I could get signed my life is destined
Jika saya bisa ditandatangani hidup saya ditakdirkan
My future depends on ink
Masa depan saya bergantung pada tinta
And secretary at the front of the entrance staring right at me
Dan sekretaris di depan pintu masuk menatap saya
I walk up she whispers go ahead and then gives me a wink
Saya mendekat dia berbisik maju dan memberi saya kedipan
I put my life on the line
Saya mempertaruhkan hidup saya
I roll them dice and I'm fine
Saya melempar dadu dan saya baik-baik saja
'Cause all I ever dreamt about was makin' it
Karena yang pernah saya impikan adalah berhasil
They ain't giving it, I'm taking it
Mereka tidak memberikannya, saya mengambilnya
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it
Saya mengambilnya, mengambilnya, mereka tidak memberikannya
I'm taking it, taking it, they ain't giving it

Saya mengambilnya, mengambilnya, saya butuh semua itu
If I get past security, the secretary, the cubicals
Jika saya bisa melewati keamanan, sekretaris, kubikel
But it's weird, it's like this room I've walked into is unusual
Tapi aneh, ruangan yang saya masuki ini tidak biasa
Thought it would be shiny and beautiful
Kupikir akan bersinar dan indah
Thought it would be alive and like musical
Kupikir akan hidup dan seperti musikal
But it feels like someone died, it's got the vibe of a funeral
Tapi rasanya seperti ada yang meninggal, memiliki suasana pemakaman
There's numbers on a chalkboard
Ada angka di papan tulis
Cds boxed in cardboard
CD dikemas dalam karton
Artists that flopped, that got dropped and never got to be sophomores

Mengeluh bahwa mereka tidak memiliki siapa-siapa di rumah
Wonderin' what they make art for
Bertanya-tanya untuk apa mereka membuat seni

Saya mulai berpikir, apakah saya di tempat yang tepat?
Just walk forward, see plaques on the wall
Berjalan maju, lihat plakat di dinding
Oh yea, in a second those will be all yours
Oh ya, dalam beberapa detik itu semua akan menjadi milikmu
Finally see an office with a mounted sign, heaven sent
Akhirnya melihat sebuah kantor dengan tanda terpasang, surga dikirim
Big block silver letters, read it out loud: president (nice!)
Huruf besar perak, baca dengan keras: presiden (bagus!)
This was my chance to grab that contract and turn and jet
Ini adalah kesempatan saya untuk meraih kontrak itu dan berbalik lari
Right then felt a cold hand grab on the back of my neck

He said: we've been watching you, so glad you could make it
Dia berkata: kami telah mengawasi Anda, senang Anda bisa datang
Your music gets so impressive in this whole brand you created

Now I'm sorry, I've had a long day remind me, now what your name is?
Sekarang maaf, saya telah memiliki hari yang panjang ingatkan saya, sekarang apa nama Anda?
That's right, Macklemore, of course, today has been crazy
Benar, Macklemore, tentu saja, hari ini gila
Anyway, you ready? We'll give you a hundred thousand dollars
Bagaimanapun, Anda siap? Kami akan memberi Anda seratus ribu dolar
After your album comes out we'll need back that money that you borrowed
Setelah album Anda keluar kami akan membutuhkan kembali uang yang Anda pinjam

So shit, after taxes you and ryan have 7% to split
Jadi sial, setelah pajak Anda dan Ryan memiliki 7% untuk dibagi
That's not bad, I've seen a lot worse, no one will give you a better offer than us (hmm)
Itu tidak buruk, saya telah melihat yang lebih buruk, tidak ada yang akan memberi Anda tawaran lebih baik dari kami (hmm)
I replied I appreciate the offer, thought that this is what I wanted
Saya menjawab saya menghargai tawaran itu, pikir bahwa ini adalah yang saya inginkan
Rather be a starving artist than succeed at getting fucked
Lebih baik menjadi seniman kelaparan daripada berhasil mendapatkan bercinta
I put my life on the line
俺は命を賭ける
I roll them dice and I'm fine
サイコロを振っても大丈夫
'Cause all I ever dreamt about was makin' it
なぜなら、夢見ていたのはただ一つ
They ain't giving it, I'm taking it

I'm taking it, taking it, I need all that shit
俺が奪っていく、奪っていく、全部必要だ
If I just went in and stole it, the police would of notice
俺がただ侵入して盗むと、警察に気付かれるだろう
Gotta be strategic, creepin', go in, leave with that motive
戦略的に行動しなきゃ、忍び込んで、その目的を果たして出る
Hold up, my plan is forming, alright, caseing this building
ちょっと待て、俺の計画が形作られていく、さあ、この建物を調査して
Watch these rappers that rappin' walk in and leave out with millions
ラップしているラッパーたちを見て、何百万ドルも持って出ていくのを見るんだ
Headed in sweatin', open that front door
汗をかきながら入って、正面の扉を開ける
Interscope printed out right by the entrance, door closes
入り口のすぐそばにインタースコープの印刷があって、扉が閉まる
Not a metaphor, then I start towards
比喩じゃない、その後方へ進む
That front, that's right, where you check in
そこが正面、そうだ、チェックインする場所
Dressed in an uniform, acting like a janitor
制服を着て、用務員を演じる
All blue, jumpsuit, why shoot?

Carrying 2 cans of paint, security looks at me awkward
ペンキの缶を2つ持って、警備員が不審そうに見る
I say third floor I'm late, paintin' jimmy iovine's office
三階に行くって言うと遅れてるって言う、ジミー・アイオヴァインのオフィスを塗るんだ
Holding my breath 'bout to faint
息を殺して、気絶しそう
I'm scared to death that he stops me
彼に止められるのが怖くすぎて
Heart beating so loud you can hear the echo in that lobby
