[Verse 1]Hey
HEY
Niggas be dying on the daily
每天都處於掙扎之中
It seems my dreams faded for far too long, the consequences deadly
我的夢想好像與我漸行漸遠似乎永遠沒有出頭之日了
Can't visualize myself as nothing but a criminal
“犯罪分子”成了我的專屬標籤
Control the block, serving up rocks and stay subliminal
我就是個行事低調的販毒大佬
Cause young niggas is hard headed, they letting off
道上的人都是死腦筋，他們喜怒無常
Full of adrenaline, ignorant to what death can cause
甚至蠢到一沖動連死字都不知道咋寫
Ain't no coming back, family dressed in black
當他們有去無回時，家人只能纏上黑紗
Plus it's hot now, the cops outside it's hard to flip a pack
但況且現在外面風聲緊，到處都是條子，想賣貨實在是不容易
And my daughter gotta eat, her mama be stressing me
所以妻兒的生計成了我每天的壓力
Like I ain't the one who put them Jays on her feet
我也想讓他們穿的光鮮亮麗
Like I ain't out in the field like that
我也想讓他們出人頭地
I might be low for the moment but I will bounce back
可能我現在處於人生低谷但很快我就會重整旗鼓
Despite the charges, back to the wall I fight regardless, Screaming 'fuck the law', my life is lawless
老子會不顧一切地突破重重困境喧然挑戰法律
That's what you call it
這一切都將實現我可不是在瘋言瘋語
Ain't got to be no psychic to see this is like the farthest thing from heaven
天堂與地獄看上去其實就一線之遙
This is hell and I don't mean that hyperbolic
我可不是在誇大其詞
I try to find employment even if the swiper chargeless
我也想找個正經工作哪怕就算是洗廁所也好
But these felonies be making life the hardest
但背負的數條重罪讓我的人生實在艱難
Resisting the temptation to run up and swipe a wallet
不想再去做那些偷雞摸狗
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
這就是我寫下這詩的動因
If the pressure get too much for me to take and I break
如果生活太過壓抑的話我會崩潰的
Play this tape for my daughter and let her know my life is on it

In the physical, not even sure if I believe in God

So I can be a part of you still, my pops was killed too
所以我依然與你同在， 我的老爸也被殺了
So I know how part of you feels
我很能理解你現在的心情
Maybe you hate me, maybe you miss me, maybe you spite me
你可能恨我、想我、厭惡我
Life goes in cycles, maybe you'll date a nigga just like me
但人生就是不斷輪迴可能你會和一個與我一樣性格的人交往
I hope not, I' m tired of dope spots
但我還是希望別這樣毒品所帶來的污點
And fiends that smoke rocks, I've seen far too many niggas hopes rot
讓我心力憔悴我看過太多人因為毒品將希望藏在心裡直至腐爛
I'm writing this because me and the devil had a dance

Now I see death around the corner, apologizing in advance

I was nineteen, took me two felonies to see the trap, this crooked ass system set for me

He said 'Listen, I got no time to dive into descriptions
他說：聽好了，我沒時間跟你娓娓道來了
But I've been having premonitions, just call it visions from the other side
但我一直以來就有種預感姑且是第六感吧

now it's thirty years later making sure the story's told
現在我三十歲了，我來向你講述這一切
Girl your daddy was a real nigga , not 'cos he was cold
孩子，你老爸是真正的男子漢並不是因為他冷酷無情
Not because he was the first to get some pussy twelve years old
並不是因為他12歲就初嘗人事
Not because he used to come through in the Caddy on some vogues
並不是因為他曾經開著凱迪拉克招搖撞市
Not because he went from bagging up them grams to serving O's
更不是因為他是個大毒梟
Nah your daddy was a real nigga, not 'cos he was hard
不是因為這一切也不是因為他的強硬
Not because he lived a life of crime and sat behind some bars
也不是因為他處於法網之外
Not because he screamed fuck the law, although that was true

Your daddy was a real nigga 'cuz he loved you'
