Jack

Lyrics Translation

I used to have jack, in the fridge and the bank, I'm not goin' back
I had bed bugs, I had roaches and rats, I'm not goin' back
Makin' this cheese cannot be this easy, there must be a catch
I'm spendin' and makin' it back
So maybe it's balance in that

I used to have jack, in the fridge and the bank, I'm not goin' back
I had bed bugs, I had roaches and rats, I'm not goin' back
Makin' this cheese cannot be this easy, there must be a catch
I'm spendin' and makin' it back
So maybe it's balance in that
(I used to have jack)

They know I switch the time zone and bring this shit home, they tippin' they hats
I don't want nothin' in return from none of my bros for scratchin' they backs
Some people wanna be clones, to each his own, go get you some racks
They goin' nowhere too fast
Only God knows how they crash
Soon as I found me a window, I got in where I fit in
If I make somebody a widow, she gon' have her some millis
More money more problems but fuck it we'll take it
When we used to be broke it was shitty
Can't be a nobody in my own city
I ride like the mayor, my windows is tinted
These people ain't playin' my songs out of pity, they actually genuinely fuckin' with me
They pay me in tens, twenties, hundreds, fifties
I'm takin' it all cash, I ain't picky
Don't give me no hard pass, let me figure it out
I'm not a liability nigga
I hustle like I got a mini-me nigga
It's Tall Racks til infinity

I used to have jack, in the fridge and the bank, I'm not goin' back
I had bed bugs, I had roaches and rats, I'm not goin' back
Makin' this cheese cannot be this easy, there must be a catch
I'm spendin' and makin' it back
So maybe it's balance in that

I used to have jack, in the fridge and the bank, I'm not goin' back
I had bed bugs, I had roaches and rats, I'm not goin' back
Makin' this cheese cannot be this easy, there must be a catch
I'm spendin' and makin' it back
So maybe it's balance in that
(I used to have)

I used to have jack, in the fridge and the bank, I'm not goin' back
Eu costumava ter nada, na geladeira e no banco, não vou voltar
I had bed bugs, I had roaches and rats, I'm not goin' back
Eu tinha percevejos, baratas e ratos, não vou voltar
Makin' this cheese cannot be this easy, there must be a catch
Fazer esse dinheiro não pode ser tão fácil, deve haver um truque
I'm spendin' and makin' it back
Estou gastando e recuperando
So maybe it's balance in that
Então talvez haja equilíbrio nisso
I used to have jack, in the fridge and the bank, I'm not goin' back
Eu costumava ter nada, na geladeira e no banco, não vou voltar
I had bed bugs, I had roaches and rats, I'm not goin' back
Eu tinha percevejos, baratas e ratos, não vou voltar
Makin' this cheese cannot be this easy, there must be a catch
Fazer esse dinheiro não pode ser tão fácil, deve haver um truque
I'm spendin' and makin' it back
Estou gastando e recuperando
So maybe it's balance in that
Então talvez haja equilíbrio nisso
(I used to have jack)
(Eu costumava ter nada)
They know I switch the time zone and bring this shit home, they tippin' they hats
Eles sabem que eu mudo o fuso horário e trago essa merda para casa, eles estão tirando o chapéu
I don't want nothin' in return from none of my bros for scratchin' they backs
Não quero nada em troca de nenhum dos meus irmãos por arranhar suas costas
Some people wanna be clones, to each his own, go get you some racks
Algumas pessoas querem ser clones, cada um com o seu, vá buscar alguns trocados
They goin' nowhere too fast
Eles não estão indo a lugar nenhum muito rápido
Only God knows how they crash
Só Deus sabe como eles vão se espatifar
Soon as I found me a window, I got in where I fit in
Assim que encontrei uma janela, entrei onde coube
If I make somebody a widow, she gon' have her some millis
Se eu fizer de alguém uma viúva, ela vai ter alguns milhões
More money more problems but fuck it we'll take it
Mais dinheiro mais problemas, mas foda-se, nós aceitamos
When we used to be broke it was shitty
Quando costumávamos ser quebrados, era uma merda
Can't be a nobody in my own city
Não posso ser um ninguém na minha própria cidade
I ride like the mayor, my windows is tinted
Eu dirijo como o prefeito, minhas janelas são tingidas
These people ain't playin' my songs out of pity, they actually genuinely fuckin' with me
Essas pessoas não estão tocando minhas músicas por pena, elas realmente estão gostando de mim
They pay me in tens, twenties, hundreds, fifties
Eles me pagam em dezenas, vintes, centenas, cinquentas
I'm takin' it all cash, I ain't picky
Estou pegando tudo em dinheiro, não sou exigente
Don't give me no hard pass, let me figure it out
Não me dê um passe difícil, deixe-me descobrir
I'm not a liability nigga
Eu não sou uma responsabilidade, cara
I hustle like I got a mini-me nigga
Eu me esforço como se tivesse um mini-eu, cara
It's Tall Racks til infinity
É Tall Racks até o infinito
I used to have jack, in the fridge and the bank, I'm not goin' back

Makin' this cheese cannot be this easy, there must be a catch
Fazer esse dinheiro não pode ser tão fácil, deve haver um truque

Estou gastando e recuperando
So maybe it's balance in that

I used to have jack, in the fridge and the bank, I'm not goin' back
Solía tener nada, en la nevera y el banco, no voy a volver
I had bed bugs, I had roaches and rats, I'm not goin' back
Tenía chinches, cucarachas y ratas, no voy a volver
Makin' this cheese cannot be this easy, there must be a catch
Hacer este queso no puede ser tan fácil, debe haber un truco

They know I switch the time zone and bring this shit home, they tippin' they hats
Saben que cambio la zona horaria y traigo esta mierda a casa, están quitándose el sombrero
I don't want nothin' in return from none of my bros for scratchin' they backs
No quiero nada a cambio de ninguno de mis hermanos por rascarse la espalda
Some people wanna be clones, to each his own, go get you some racks
Algunas personas quieren ser clones, cada uno a lo suyo, ve a conseguirte algunos fajos
They goin' nowhere too fast
Van a ninguna parte demasiado rápido
Only God knows how they crash
Solo Dios sabe cómo se estrellan
Soon as I found me a window, I got in where I fit in
Tan pronto como encontré una ventana, me metí donde cabía
If I make somebody a widow, she gon' have her some millis
Si hago a alguien viuda, ella va a tener sus millones
More money more problems but fuck it we'll take it
Más dinero más problemas pero joder lo aceptaremos
When we used to be broke it was shitty
Cuando solíamos estar rotos era una mierda
Can't be a nobody in my own city
No puedo ser un don nadie en mi propia ciudad
I ride like the mayor, my windows is tinted
Voy como el alcalde, mis ventanas están tintadas
These people ain't playin' my songs out of pity, they actually genuinely fuckin' with me
Estas personas no están tocando mis canciones por lástima, realmente me apoyan de verdad
They pay me in tens, twenties, hundreds, fifties
Me pagan en decenas, veintenas, cientos, cincuentenas
I'm takin' it all cash, I ain't picky
Lo estoy tomando todo en efectivo, no soy exigente
Don't give me no hard pass, let me figure it out
No me des un pase difícil, déjame averiguarlo
I'm not a liability nigga
No soy una responsabilidad, tío
I hustle like I got a mini-me nigga
Me esfuerzo como si tuviera un mini-yo, tío
It's Tall Racks til infinity
Es Tall Racks hasta el infinito

Dès que j'ai trouvé une fenêtre, je me suis inséré où je pouvais
If I make somebody a widow, she gon' have her some millis
Si je rends quelqu'un veuf, elle va avoir des millions
More money more problems but fuck it we'll take it
Plus d'argent plus de problèmes mais on s'en fout on le prendra
When we used to be broke it was shitty
Quand on était fauché c'était de la merde
Can't be a nobody in my own city
Je ne peux pas être un inconnu dans ma propre ville
I ride like the mayor, my windows is tinted
Je roule comme le maire, mes vitres sont teintées
These people ain't playin' my songs out of pity, they actually genuinely fuckin' with me
Ces gens ne jouent pas mes chansons par pitié, ils me kiffent vraiment
They pay me in tens, twenties, hundreds, fifties
Ils me paient en dizaines, vingtaines, centaines, cinquantaines
I'm takin' it all cash, I ain't picky
Je prends tout en espèces, je ne suis pas difficile
Don't give me no hard pass, let me figure it out
Ne me donnez pas de laissez-passer difficile, laissez-moi le découvrir
I'm not a liability nigga
Je ne suis pas un risque nigga
I hustle like I got a mini-me nigga
Je me débrouille comme si j'avais un mini-moi nigga
