N.Y. State of Mind, Pt. 2

Eric Barrier, William Griffin, Nasir Jones, Christopher Martin

Lyrics Translation

Uh, yo
What up? What up?
It's time man (word, it's time?)
Straight up (it's time, man)
Aight, set that shit off (set it off then, nigga)
Set it off (set it off)

Broken glass in the hallway, bloodstained floors
Neighbors, look at every bag you bring through your doors
Lock the top lock, momma shoulda cuffed me to the radiator
Why not? It might've saved me later from my block
N.Y. cops, hookers crawlin' off the stroll, coughin'
Stitches in they head, stinkin' and I dread thinkin' they be snitchin'
But who else, could it be, shook at these, unmarked vans
Parked in the dark, NARC's, where's your heart?
Hustlers starve, they bust a U-ey, I jog
To my building, come out later wearin' camouflage
See the sergeant and the captain, strangle men
Niggas gaspin' for air, 'til they move no more and just stare
With dead eyes, tired of riots, shit is quiet
Simple-minded fools infiltrate grimy crews
Overcrowded cribs, uncles home from bids, sister's pregnant
Father's on drugs, moms is smokin', beds is piss-infested
Had eight partners growin' up, eight turned to seven
Seven turned to six niggas, got two in heaven
Six of us, holdin' it, now it's five rollin' thick
The sixth one's parole flipped, five niggas, went to four quick
When he went O.T., college life, converted into gangbangin'
Four niggas still hangin', years passin' and slang changin'
Three of us now, fourth nigga ain't around
We all thought he was real, he did the snake shit
Fake shit, beat his ass down
Yo, his mouth could've got us all wasted, what a fuckin' clown
All I got left in the end is two of my best friends
And we all goin' out, to the death for these ends, what?

New York, New York (New York state of mind)
New York, New York (New York state of mind)

You heard about it, you see about it
You read about it, it's in your papers
It's in your daily news (get money)
New York chronicles, every day
The crime rate, the murder rate
The money rate, the paper chase, you know what I mean?
New York state of mind baby, check it out

I'm at the, gamblin' spot, my hands on a knot
New York Yankee cap cover my eyes, stand in one spot
I take a nigga dough, send him home to a shoebox
You lost that nigga I put your dollar in the jukebox
Hear my favorite song, all these niggas sing along
All the cigarette smoke's cloggin' my lungs, hoodrats flashin' they tongue
Young thugs blastin' they gun, we got reputations
Bitches and niggas both on parole or probation
Shit is sick, niggas got gats, army fatigues
I got my eyes glued on, whoever walk in or leave
'Cause I ain't playin', niggas'll run up in here and shoot up this shit
Stick yo' ass up, niggas'll find the loot in your kicks
Bunch of triple-cross niggas, just New York niggas
Lift you off your feet when they was just talkin' with you
Some of these dudes the feds be on 'em, you knew 'em for years
Be the type when you walk in a pub, they offer you beers
That ain't gangsta, niggas is up North with tatted tears
Your name's on the affidavit, you ratted kid
Faggot ass niggas that be scared to do they bids
Fuck you, we run you out of N.Y, you can't live
Got your quiet niggas, that relocated down South
Comin' back to floss, then you got the jealous loudmouths
All of a sudden we got Crips and Bloods, D.T.'s
Runnin' 'round quick to split your mug, it's easy to score
But it's hard to get the shit off
Niggas fightin' over hundred sales, jump in the car and drive off
When the fiend come around the block, happy as hell
Niggas, mad 'cause they ain't get a piece of that sale
Cutthroat connivers, universal, ghetto survivors
Go to any hood that's live and make it liver
A lot of niggas schemin', some real, some niggas frontin'
But I'm a big dreamer, so watch me come up with somethin'

New York, New York
New York, New York

Uh, yo
Uh, yo
What up? What up?
E aí? E aí?
It's time man (word, it's time?)
É hora, cara (palavra, é hora?)
Straight up (it's time, man)
Direto (é hora, cara)
Aight, set that shit off (set it off then, nigga)
Aight, comece essa merda (comece então, cara)
Set it off (set it off)
Comece (comece)
Broken glass in the hallway, bloodstained floors
Vidro quebrado no corredor, pisos manchados de sangue
Neighbors, look at every bag you bring through your doors
Vizinhos, olham cada sacola que você traz para suas portas
Lock the top lock, momma shoulda cuffed me to the radiator
Tranque a fechadura de cima, mamãe deveria ter me algemado ao radiador
Why not? It might've saved me later from my block
Por que não? Talvez tivesse me salvado mais tarde do meu quarteirão
N.Y. cops, hookers crawlin' off the stroll, coughin'
Policiais de NY, prostitutas rastejando fora da calçada, tossindo
Stitches in they head, stinkin' and I dread thinkin' they be snitchin'
Pontos na cabeça, fedendo e eu temo pensar que eles estejam dedurando
But who else, could it be, shook at these, unmarked vans
Mas quem mais, poderia ser, assustado com essas, vans sem marca
Parked in the dark, NARC's, where's your heart?
Estacionadas no escuro, NARC's, onde está seu coração?
Hustlers starve, they bust a U-ey, I jog
Traficantes passam fome, eles dão uma volta, eu corro
To my building, come out later wearin' camouflage
Para o meu prédio, saio mais tarde vestindo camuflagem
See the sergeant and the captain, strangle men
Vejo o sargento e o capitão, estrangulando homens
Niggas gaspin' for air, 'til they move no more and just stare
Negros ofegantes por ar, até que não se movem mais e apenas encaram
With dead eyes, tired of riots, shit is quiet
Com olhos mortos, cansados de tumultos, a merda está quieta
Simple-minded fools infiltrate grimy crews
Idiotas de mente simples infiltram-se em equipes sujas
Overcrowded cribs, uncles home from bids, sister's pregnant
Casas superlotadas, tios em casa de lances, irmã grávida
Father's on drugs, moms is smokin', beds is piss-infested
Pai nas drogas, mãe fumando, camas infestadas de urina
Had eight partners growin' up, eight turned to seven
Tive oito parceiros crescendo, oito se tornaram sete
Seven turned to six niggas, got two in heaven
Sete se tornaram seis negros, tem dois no céu
Six of us, holdin' it, now it's five rollin' thick
Seis de nós, segurando, agora são cinco andando juntos
The sixth one's parole flipped, five niggas, went to four quick
O sexto violou a condicional, cinco negros, foram para quatro rapidamente
When he went O.T., college life, converted into gangbangin'
Quando ele foi para OT, vida universitária, transformada em gangues
Four niggas still hangin', years passin' and slang changin'
Quatro negros ainda se aguentando, anos passando e gírias mudando
Three of us now, fourth nigga ain't around
Três de nós agora, o quarto negro não está por perto
We all thought he was real, he did the snake shit
Todos pensamos que ele era real, ele fez a merda da cobra
Fake shit, beat his ass down
Merda falsa, bateu nele
Yo, his mouth could've got us all wasted, what a fuckin' clown
Yo, a boca dele poderia ter nos desperdiçado, que palhaço de merda
All I got left in the end is two of my best friends
Tudo o que me resta no final são dois dos meus melhores amigos
And we all goin' out, to the death for these ends, what?
E todos nós vamos sair, até a morte por esses fins, o quê?

Boné dos Yankees de Nova York cobre meus olhos, fico em um lugar

Você perdeu, cara, eu coloquei seu dólar na jukebox
Hear my favorite song, all these niggas sing along
Ouço minha música favorita, todos esses caras cantam junto

Todo o fumo do cigarro está entupindo meus pulmões, ratas do gueto mostrando a língua
Young thugs blastin' they gun, we got reputations

Bunch of triple-cross niggas, just New York niggas

Alguns desses caras, os federais estão atrás deles, você os conhece há anos
Be the type when you walk in a pub, they offer you beers
Seja o tipo que quando você entra em um pub, eles te oferecem cervejas
That ain't gangsta, niggas is up North with tatted tears
Isso não é gangster, os caras estão no Norte com lágrimas tatuadas
Your name's on the affidavit, you ratted kid
Seu nome está na declaração, você dedurou, garoto
Faggot ass niggas that be scared to do they bids
Negros viados que têm medo de cumprir suas penas
Fuck you, we run you out of N.Y, you can't live
Foda-se, nós te expulsamos de NY, você não pode viver
Got your quiet niggas, that relocated down South
Tem seus caras quietos, que se mudaram para o Sul

Voltando para se exibir, então você tem os invejosos faladores
All of a sudden we got Crips and Bloods, D.T.'s
De repente temos Crips e Bloods, D.T.'s
Runnin' 'round quick to split your mug, it's easy to score
Correndo por aí rápido para dividir sua caneca, é fácil marcar
But it's hard to get the shit off
Mas é difícil se livrar da merda
Niggas fightin' over hundred sales, jump in the car and drive off
Negros lutando por vendas de cem, pulam no carro e vão embora
When the fiend come around the block, happy as hell
Quando o viciado dá a volta no quarteirão, feliz pra caramba
Niggas, mad 'cause they ain't get a piece of that sale
Negros, chateados porque não conseguiram um pedaço dessa venda
Cutthroat connivers, universal, ghetto survivors
Trapaceiros corta-gargantas, universais, sobreviventes do gueto
Go to any hood that's live and make it liver
Vá para qualquer bairro que seja animado e o torne mais animado
A lot of niggas schemin', some real, some niggas frontin'
Muitos negros tramando, alguns reais, alguns negros fingindo
But I'm a big dreamer, so watch me come up with somethin'
Mas eu sou um grande sonhador, então me veja inventar algo

Broken glass in the hallway, bloodstained floors

Neighbors, look at every bag you bring through your doors

Cierra el cerrojo superior, mamá debería haberme esposado al radiador

¿Por qué no? Podría haberme salvado más tarde de mi bloque
N.Y. cops, hookers crawlin' off the stroll, coughin'
Policías de N.Y., prostitutas arrastrándose fuera del paseo, tosiendo
Stitches in they head, stinkin' and I dread thinkin' they be snitchin'
Puntos en la cabeza, apestando y temo pensar que podrían estar chivándose
But who else, could it be, shook at these, unmarked vans
Pero ¿quién más, podría ser, asustado de estos, furgonetas sin marcar

Todo lo que me queda al final son dos de mis mejores amigos
And we all goin' out, to the death for these ends, what?
