[Verse 1]Hey
HEY
Niggas be dying on the daily
每天都处于挣扎之中
It seems my dreams faded for far too long, the consequences deadly
我的梦想好像与我渐行渐远 似乎永远没有出头之日了
Can't visualize myself as nothing but a criminal
“犯罪分子”成了我的专属标签
Control the block, serving up rocks and stay subliminal
我就是个行事低调的贩毒大佬
Cause young niggas is hard headed, they letting off
道上的人都是死脑筋，他们喜怒无常
Full of adrenaline, ignorant to what death can cause
甚至蠢到一冲动连死字都不知道咋写
Ain't no coming back, family dressed in black
当他们有去无回时，家人只能缠上黑纱
Plus it's hot now, the cops outside it's hard to flip a pack
但况且现在外面风声紧，到处都是条子，想卖货实在是不容易
And my daughter gotta eat, her mama be stressing me
所以妻儿的生计成了我每天的压力
Like I ain't the one who put them Jays on her feet
我也想让他们穿的光鲜亮丽
Like I ain't out in the field like that
我也想让他们出人头地
I might be low for the moment but I will bounce back
可能我现在处于人生低谷 但很快我就会重整旗鼓
Despite the charges, back to the wall I fight regardless, Screaming "fuck the law", my life is lawless
老子会不顾一切地突破重重困境 喧然挑战法律
That's what you call it
这一切都将实现 我可不是在疯言疯语
Ain't got to be no psychic to see this is like the farthest thing from heaven
天堂与地狱看上去其实就一线之遥
This is hell and I don't mean that hyperbolic
我可不是在夸大其词
I try to find employment even if the swiper chargeless
我也想找个正经工作 哪怕就算是洗厕所也好
But these felonies be making life the hardest
但背负的数条重罪让我的人生实在艰难
Resisting the temptation to run up and swipe a wallet
不想再去做那些偷鸡摸狗
Or run up on your yard, snatch your daughter bike and pawn it
或者苟且偷生的事
That's why I write this sonnet
这就是我写下这诗的动因
If the pressure get too much for me to take and I break
如果生活太过压抑的话我会崩溃的
Play this tape for my daughter and let her know my life is on it

If you're hearing this unfortunately means that I'm no longer with you
如果你听到这首歌 那么很不幸说明 我已经离开人世了
In the physical, not even sure if I believe in God

He got me praying that the spiritual is real
上帝说祈祷可以让精神永驻
So I can be a part of you still, my pops was killed too
所以我依然与你同在， 我的老爸也被杀了
So I know how part of you feels
我很能理解你现在的心情
Maybe you hate me, maybe you miss me, maybe you spite me
你可能恨我、想我、厌恶我
Life goes in cycles, maybe you'll date a nigga just like me
但人生就是不断轮回 可能你会和一个与我一样性格的人交往
I hope not, I'm tired of dope spots
但我还是希望别这样 毒品所带来的污点
And fiends that smoke rocks, I've seen far too many niggas hopes rot
让我心力憔悴 我看过太多人因为毒品将希望藏在心里直至腐烂
I'm writing this because me and the devil had a dance
我写下这首歌是因为我曾与魔鬼共舞
Now I see death around the corner, apologizing in advance
死亡常伴我身 所以我得提前给你道个歉
Don't know if I ever had a chance
不知道还能不能有再活一次的机会

I told her Nina, the prettiest name that I could think of

For the prettiest thing my eyes had ever seen

I was nineteen, took me two felonies to see the trap, this crooked ass system set for me
当时19岁的我身陷囹圄才看清这个垃圾社会
And now I fear it's too late for me to ever be the one that set examples that was never set for me
令我恐惧的是 当我认清这个社会时已经太晚了
I'm living fast, but not fast enough cause karma keeps on catching up to me

[Verse 3]It's several ways I could've went out, too many to count

Was it the trigger happy crackers that the badges give clout

What he'd been dealing with lately, he wasn't telling

I tried to pick his brains, still he wasn't revealing
我百般追问他都不肯说
But I could feel the sense of panic in his voice and it was chilling
但我能感觉到他的焦虑 他故作镇定的说：

I had to interject like, "Nigga what you talking 'bout? Fuck is you getting at?"
我不得不立刻打断他：“傻逼，你他妈瞎说什么胡话呢？”
He said "Listen, I got no time to dive into descriptions
他说：听好了，我没时间跟你娓娓道来了
But I've been having premonitions, just call it visions from the other side
但我一直以来就有种预感 姑且是第六感吧
I got a feeling I won't see tomorrow, like the time I'm living on is borrowed
我感觉随时都可能要去见阎王爷了 我的命就是向阎王爷借的
With that said the only thing I'm proud to say I was a father
除了作为一名父亲 我没什么别的可自豪
Write my story down and if I pass go play it for my daughter when she ready

now it's thirty years later making sure the story's told

Girl your daddy was a real nigga, not 'cos he was cold
孩子，你老爸是真正的男子汉 并不是因为他冷酷无情
Not because he was the first to get some pussy twelve years old

Not because he used to come through in the Caddy on some vogues
并不是因为他曾经开着凯迪拉克招摇撞市
Not because he went from bagging up them grams to serving O's
更不是因为他是个大毒枭
Nah your daddy was a real nigga, not 'cos he was hard
不是因为这一切 也不是因为他的强硬
Not because he lived a life of crime and sat behind some bars
也不是因为他处于法网之外
Not because he screamed fuck the law, although that was true
