All My Life
歌詞:
[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)

文法:
-
Durkio told me he **been** on some positive shit, yeah, yeah
➔ 現在完了進行形（非公式な使用）
➔ 文法的には現在完了進行形（'has/have been' + verb-ing）に似ていますが、口語的で簡略化された使用法です。 'Been'は、過去に始まり現在まで継続する行動を示します。 これは、行動が最近のものであるか、進行中であるか、永続的な影響を与えていることを意味する可能性があります。 正しい時制は「has been」であるはずですが、簡潔さとスタイルのために省略されています。
-
Always **been** a lil’ mathematician, lately it’s cash I’m gettin’
➔ 現在完了形（非公式）/主語と動詞の倒置
➔ 再度、簡略化された現在完了形。 「Always been」は、かなりの期間にわたって真実であった特性を意味します。 「Lately it's cash I'm gettin'」：通常の語順は「Lately, I'm getting cash」です。 倒置は「cash」を強調します。
-
Hard times don’t last, ‘**member** when cops harrassed
➔ 'remember'の省略形
➔ 'Member'は、'remember'の俗語または口語的な省略形です。 簡潔にするため、また曲のリズムに合わせるために使用されます。
-
Talkin’ out my ass, boy, you ain’t shit but a bitch with a badge
➔ 俗語/非公式な言語
➔ この行には非常に非公式で攻撃的な言葉が含まれています。 「Talkin' out my ass」とは、ナンセンスを話すか嘘をつくことを意味します。 「You ain't shit」とは、あなたは価値がないことを意味します。 この行は攻撃的で侮辱的です。
-
I decided I had to finish, but the media called me a menace
➔ 過去形/過去形
➔ 両方の句は、過去の完了したアクションを記述するために過去形（「decided」、「called」）を使用します。
-
Some said I’d never be a superstar, but I know I’m different
➔ 仮定法 (would + 不定詞) / 現在形
➔ 'I’d never be' は 'I would never be' の短縮形であり、仮定的または過去の未来の状況を表すために条件付きの 'would' を使用しています。 「I know I'm different」は、現在の信念または事実を述べるために現在形を使用しています。
-
Know some people that’s still undeployed
➔ 関係代名詞が省略された関係節/非標準動詞活用
➔ 「Know some people that’s still undeployed」：関係代名詞「who」が省略されています。 「Know some people who are still undeployed」と言うのが文法的に正しいです。 「That's」は「who are」または「that are」の代わりに一般的な口語表現です。
