All My Life
Paroles:
[English]
Durkio told me he been on some positive shit, yeah, yeah
Lately, I just wanna show up and body some shit, yeah, yeah
Always been a lil’ mathematician, lately it’s cash I’m gettin’
Got me losin’ count of these bags, I’ve been movin’ too fast
Hard times don’t last, ‘member when cops harrassed
Talkin’ out my ass, boy, you ain’t shit but a bitch with a badge
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin’ to keep me down (They been tryin’ to keep me down)
All this time (All this time)
Never thought I would make it out (Never thought I’d make it out)
They couldn’t break me, they couldn’t break me (No, no)
They couldn’t take me, they couldn’t take me (No)
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin’ to keep me down (They been tryin’ to keep me down)
I decided I had to finish, but the media called me a menace
I done sat with the mayor and politicians, I’m tryna change the image
You can’t blame my past no more, I come from the trenches
Some said I’d never be a superstar, but I know I’m different (No, no, no)
I’m The Voice, but the system ain’t give me a choice
Know some people that’s still undeployed
I know a felon who tryna get FOID
Child support your only support
For a visit, I’m goin’ through courts
Went to jail, they was chainin’ me up
And you know that I’m famous as fuck
See how you gon’ joke about stimulus?
But they really had came in the clutch
I know some kids wanna hurt theyself
Stop tryna take drugs, I refer to myself
Tryna better myself, tryna better my health but
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin’ to keep me down (They been tryin’ to keep me down)
All this time (All this time)
Never thought I would make it out (Never thought I’d make it out)
They couldn’t break me, they couldn’t break me (No, no)
They couldn’t take me, they couldn’t take me (No)
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin’ to keep me down (They been tryin’ to keep me down, yeah)
First generation ghetto nigga
Cold world, hello niggas
Made it out the city with my head on straight
niggas keep shootin’ up the lead out
Young Jordan Peele, gotta get out
But the shit that I spit out
Is a cheat code like I’m facin’ a RICO and how a nigga put a hit out
And another one, and, and another one
I got like a hundred of ’em
‘Bout to lap niggas so they think they ahead of me, but I’m really in front of them
Now some of them fumblin’ they bags
fuckin’ up the little crumbs that they had
A reminder to humble yourself, this shit could be gone in an instant
Me, I’m runnin’ long distance
All pistons firin’
I be stuck between maybe retirin’ and feelin’ like I’m just not hittin’ my prime
These days seein’ rappers be dyin’, way before they even gettin’ they shine
I never even heard of lil’ buddy
‘Til somebody murdered lil’ buddy
Now I’m on the phone, searchin’ lil’ buddy name
Got ’em playin’ his tunes, all day in my room
Thinkin’, “Damn, this shit is wicked, to get they name buzzin’ some niggas just gotta go lay in a tomb”
And media thirsty for clicks
I got a new rule If you ain’t never posted a rapper when he was alive
You can’t post about him after he get hit
It’s simple, it’s the principle
On any tempo, I’m invincible
Don’t even rap, I just vent to you
I rather that than an interview most days
fuck ’em all like I’m goin’ through a ho phase
Young nigga shoot out the whip like road rage
I pray all of my dawgs stay so paid
And the only thing that kill ’em is old age
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin’ to keep me down (They been tryin’ to keep me down)
All this time (All this time)
Never thought I would make it out (Never thought I’d make it out)
They couldn’t break me, they couldn’t break me (No, no)
They couldn’t take me, they couldn’t take me (No)
All my life (All my life)
They been tryin’ to keep me down (They been tryin’ to keep me down)

Grammaire:
-
Durkio told me he **been** on some positive shit, yeah, yeah
➔ Passé composé continu (usage informel)
➔ Bien que ressemblant grammaticalement au passé composé continu ('has/have been' + verb-ing), il s'agit d'un usage familier et simplifié. 'Been' indique une action qui a commencé dans le passé et continue jusqu'à présent. Cela peut impliquer que l'action est récente, en cours ou a un impact durable. Le temps correct devrait être 'has been' mais il est omis par souci de simplicité et de style.
-
Always **been** a lil’ mathematician, lately it’s cash I’m gettin’
➔ Passé composé (informel) / Inversion sujet-verbe
➔ Encore une fois, passé composé simplifié. 'Always been' implique une caractéristique qui a été vraie pendant une période importante. 'Lately it's cash I'm gettin'': L'ordre habituel des mots est 'Lately, I'm getting cash'. L'inversion met l'accent sur 'cash'.
-
Hard times don’t last, ‘**member** when cops harrassed
➔ Forme abrégée de 'remember'
➔ 'Member' est une abréviation argotique ou familière de 'remember'. Il est utilisé par souci de concision et pour s'adapter au rythme de la chanson.
-
Talkin’ out my ass, boy, you ain’t shit but a bitch with a badge
➔ Argot / Langage informel
➔ Cette ligne contient un langage très informel et offensant. 'Talkin' out my ass' signifie dire des bêtises ou mentir. 'You ain't shit' signifie que tu ne vaux rien. La ligne est agressive et désobligeante.
-
I decided I had to finish, but the media called me a menace
➔ Passé simple / Passé simple
➔ Les deux propositions utilisent le passé simple ('decided', 'called') pour décrire des actions terminées dans le passé.
-
Some said I’d never be a superstar, but I know I’m different
➔ Conditionnel (would + infinitif) / Présent Simple
➔ 'I’d never be' est une forme contractée de 'I would never be', utilisant le conditionnel 'would' pour exprimer une situation hypothétique ou future dans le passé. 'I know I'm different' utilise le Présent Simple pour déclarer une conviction ou un fait actuel.
-
Know some people that’s still undeployed
➔ Proposition relative avec pronom relatif omis / Conjugaison verbale non standard
➔ 'Know some people that’s still undeployed': Le pronom relatif 'who' est omis. Il est grammaticalement correct de dire, 'Know some people who are still undeployed'. 'That's' au lieu de 'who are' ou 'that are' est un colloquialisme courant.
