[中文]

你儿子最近怎么样？（All, all, all tha-thang, thang)

今年入队了吗？（All, all tha-thang, thang, thang)

好吧，他们说他个子不够高。（all, all that glitters is not gold)

妈，我们到了，这周日我们要做饭，好吗？过来吧。（all gold is not reality)

我去，那是你新女友？（Real is what you lays on me)

这是家庭的事情

这是为了那些无法和我们在一起的家人

这是为了我被关起来的表兄弟，答案就在我们心中

这就是为什么我在歌里唱得如此甜蜜，就像你奶奶照片一样

你走了以后，这打击了我们

感恩节和圣诞节尤其难熬，这不该是这样

哟，你听过我做的歌吗？《This Can't Be Life》

请谁来祷告一下，好让我能保住面子

并且有个理由来遮住我的脸

我甚至给你做了一份，灵魂食物，知道奶奶是怎么做的

旁边放着猴子面包，知道家人是怎么做的

当我带去的时候，为什么警卫要彻底搜查？

小时候我们经常欢笑，谁知道生活会如此飞逝？

谁知道我会在玻璃后面看着你？

听着，你说你没做，那就是没做

如果你做了，那就是家庭的事

我不在乎（all, all, diamond ring, diamond ring)

它们毫无意义。（all, all, all, tha-thang, thang)

所有这些花哨的东西（all, all tha-thang, thang, thang)

我告诉你，这一切比我的体重还重。（all, all that glitters is not gold, all gold is not reality)

现在，我所知道的，我都知道这些事情。（real is what you lays on me)

耶，耶，这是家庭的事情

这是为了所有和我们站在一起的人

来吧，让我们拍一张家庭格莱美照片

艾比，还记得他们不相信我的时候吗？

现在她说，“看，那是我在电视上的表兄弟！”

现在，我们得到了，并且我们要成功

他们会讨厌它，而我是他最喜欢的

我无法否认，我是个直率的人

但当我们聚在一起时，跳起电动滑步舞

奶奶，让他们震惊一下

哦，不，不要打开相册

我有个露丝阿姨，她不记得你的名字了

但我敢打赌，那些宝丽来照片会让她陷入回忆

你知道有那么一个阿姨，你不想无礼

但每个节日，没人吃她做的食物

你不想待在那里，因为那是你最差劲的表兄弟

他们的房子里有蟑螂，就像你的第一批表兄弟一样

装作你没和你表兄弟一起洗过澡一样

如果你们有六个人，那就三个人睡一张床

我说的是三个头朝这边，三个脚朝那边

但你不必告诉我女朋友我过去尿床的事

雨，雨，雨，快走开

让太阳出来，所有的孩子们说（uh)

雨，雨，雨，快走开（yeah)

让太阳出来，所有的孩子们说（yeah, yeah, yeah)

今天早上我醒得很早，带着一种新的心态

一种创造性的押韵方式，不用枪支和毒品

别好高骛远，心中要有上帝

面向冉冉升起的太阳

所有我芝加哥的兄弟都是我的家人，兄弟

我的兄弟不是我的伙伴，他们是我的家人，兄弟

我觉得，总有一天，你会理解我的，兄弟

你仍然可以爱你的兄弟并且保持男子气概，兄弟

你不必在每次暖房派对上都激动起来

坐在这里，像乔治·福尔曼一样烧烤人

为什么雷叔叔和希拉阿姨总是要表演？

她一冲出去，他就冲进来

你们要坐下来，在这个团聚中好好享受

像圣餐一样喝点酒

假装一切都很好，如果不是的话

我们不会让所有人参与我们的家庭事务，呃

（All, all, diamond ring, diamond ring)

它们毫无意义（all, all, all tha-thang, thang)

它们毫无意义（all, all tha-thang, thang, thang)

（All, all that glitters is not gold)

它们毫无意义，毫无意义（all gold is not reality, real is what you lays on me)

我不在乎 (all, all, diamond ring, diamond ring)

它们毫无意义（All, all, all tha-thang, thang)

所有这些花哨的东西（all, all tha-thang, thang, thang)

我告诉你，这一切比我的体重还重。（all, all that glitters is not gold, all gold is not reality)

我知道的，就是这些 (real is what you lays on me)

所有这些东西 (all these things, all these things)

CLK 奔驰 (all these things, ooh, all these things)

(All these things, these things, ooh, all these things, all these things, ooh)

(Ooh, all these things, all these things)

一大堆钱 (all these things, all these things, all these things)

爸爸妈妈，你们能别吵了吗？

(All these things, and I don't care about)

(Ooh, all these things, all these things, all these things, ooh)

让我们把 Stevie 从监狱里弄出来

...

[英语]

How's your son? (All, all, all tha-thang, thang)

He made the team this year? (All, all tha-thang, thang, thang)

Aight, they said he wasn't tall enough (all, all that glitters is not gold)

Ma', we here, we gon' cook this Sunday, okay? So come by (all gold is not reality)

Damn, that's your new girlfriend? (Real is what you lays on me)

This is family business

And this is for the family that can't be with us

And this is for my cousin locked down, know the answer's in us

This why I spit it in my songs so sweet, like a photo of your granny's picture

Now that you're gone, it hit us

Super hard on Thanksgiving and Christmas, this can't be right

Yo, you heard the track I did, man? "This Can't Be Life"

Somebody please say grace, so I can save face

And have a reason to cover my face

I even made you a plate, soul food, know how Granny do it

Monkey bread on the side, know how the family do it

When I brought it, why the guard had to look all through it?

As kids, we used to laugh, who knew that life would move this fast?

Who knew I'd have to look at you through a glass?

And look, you tell me you ain't did it, then you ain't did it

And if you did, then that's family business

And I don't care about (all, all, diamond ring, diamond ring)

They don't mean a thing (all, all, all, tha-thang, thang)

All these fancy things (all, all tha-thang, thang, thang)

I tell you that all is my weight in gold (all, all that glitters is not gold, all gold is not reality)

Now, all I know, I know all these things (real is what you lays on me)

Yeah, yeah, this is family business

And this is for everybody standing with us

Come on, let's take a family Grammy picture

Abi, remember when they ain't believe in me?

Now she like, "See, that's my cousin on TV!"

Now, we gettin' it and we gon' make it

And they gon' hate it, and I'm his favorite

I can't deny it, I'm a straight rider

But when we get together, be Electric Slidin'

Grandma, get 'em shook up

Aw, naw, don't open the photobook up

I got a Aunt Ruth that can't remember your name

But I bet them Polaroids'll send her down memory lane

You know that one auntie, you don't mean to be rude

But every holiday, nobody eating her food

And you don't wanna stay there 'cause them your worst cousins

Got roaches at they crib like them your first cousins

Act like you ain't took a bath with your cousin

Fit three in the bed if it's six of y'all

I'm talkin' 'bout three by the head and three by the leg

But you ain't have to tell my girl I used to pee in the bed

Rain, rain, rain, go away

Let the sun come out, and all the children say (uh)

Rain, rain, rain, go away (yeah)

Let the sun come out and all the children say (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I woke up early this morning with a new state of mind

A creative way to rhyme without using nines and guns

Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to God

And keep your face to the risin' sun

All my niggas from the Chi' is my family, dawg

And my niggas ain't my guys, they my family, dawg

I feel like, one day, you'll understand me, dawg

You can still love your man and be manly, dawg

You ain't gotta get heated at every housewarmin'

Sittin' here, grillin' people like George Foreman

Why Uncle Ray and Aunt Sheila always performin'?

Second she storm out, then he storm in

Y'all gon' sit down, have a good time this reunion

And drink some wine like Communion

And act like everything fine and if it isn't

We ain't letting everybody in our family business, uh

(All, all, diamond ring, diamond ring)

They don't mean a thing (all, all, all tha-thang, thang)

They don't mean a thing (all, all tha-thang, thang, thang)

(All, all that glitters is not gold)

They don't mean a thing, a thing (all gold is not reality, real is what you lays on me)

And I don't care about (all, all, diamond ring, diamond ring)

They don't mean a thing (All, all, all tha-thang, thang)

All these fancy things (all, all tha-thang, thang, thang)

I tell you that all is my weight in gold (all, all that glitters is not gold, all gold is not reality)

And all I know, I know all these things (real is what you lays on me)

All these things (all these things, all these things)

CLK Mercedes Benz (all these things, ooh, all these things)

(All these things, these things, ooh, all these things, all these things, ooh)

(Ooh, all these things, all these things)

A whole lotta money (all these things, all these things, all these things)

Mommy and Daddy, can you please stop fighting?

(All these things, and I don't care about)

(Ooh, all these things, all these things, all these things, ooh)

Let's get Stevie out of jail
