歌词与翻译

[中文]

请允许我重新自我介绍一下

他们总觉得你是那个狠角色，可我做得比你更多

别搞混了

我心高气傲又固执，绝不可能向你求救

那枚高品质的钻石，能让那些迷妹们瞬间沦陷

去问问那些宿敌，看看小Nettles以前有没有去过他们的地盘

然后给他们来个漂亮的全垒打

如果我们在他们的地盘没见到人，那我们就直接杀到他们家里去

我曾错付给那些虚伪的女孩，最后却招惹了些烂货

我做过最卑劣的事，就是卷款潜逃

从不打无把握之仗，总有女人在那种时候求着我

说实话，就像我整个街区的人都曾求我去说唱一样

从那时起，你们根本找不出哪怕一次我在吹牛

他们因为一些烂事抓我——我确实做了

但你绝不可能看到我当告密者

她的口技简直出神入化，像是来自木星或是土星

又或者是海王星、金星，或者是别的什么星球

妈妈把我赶出了家门，因为我实在无法应付那些街头勾当

开始让那些家伙为了留宿而干活，这都是事实

时机不对，我的祖母绿切割钻石可不是实验室造的

互联网让人们变得疯狂，点赞、评论、订阅

我得注意自己在法庭上说了什么

一旦你摊上官司，他们就会拿歌词做文章

如果你说实话，那你就是笨蛋

如果你的歌词全是吹牛，那你就是个废物

当我在照片里看到叛徒时，我依然会把他们剪掉

我依然会在车里带着枪

我开车狂飙，因为我不怕被追捕

好吧，我已经让那些异教徒搬离了这里

我看着爱意逐渐被仇恨蚕食

或者她现在上的那些普拉提课，让我再也看不见她纤细的腰肢了

你从没经历过那种告密能带来好处的困境

但你又不敢指名道姓

但我只是个说唱歌手，就像他说的

我可不想卷入帮派诉讼案

面对你的命运吧，当你离开家时

确保你能平安归来

- 试图混入其中，但说真的，他听到的全是808鼓点的轰鸣

过去梦想着赚十万块，但我赚到的远不止这些

花了八万买了块百达翡丽，以前还梦想着有一艘游艇

现在我也不确定了，早早就成了家里的顶梁柱

但在那之前，我曾像敬仰哈利·奥斯本一样敬仰我父亲

我买的第一把家伙是.38特制左轮

让A自由吧，他还在监狱里

派那些家伙去往别人身上泼滚烫的开水

去他的花言巧语

那些花瓣对我来说毫无用处

我认识一些曾经狠辣的家伙，现在他们早已销声匿迹

我也认识一些戴着香奈儿包，却住在廉租房里的女孩

我认识一些没戴首饰，却靠街头买卖发大财的人

我认识一些杀过人的家伙，但那是意外导致的

我认识一些第一次坐牢的家伙，判得比他们预想的重得多

Stevie说：“你应该成为一个更大的艺术家”

但真相是，我从未在音乐上真正努力过

而且总是把这一切视为理所当然

就像，前一天我还在录音棚，后一天就在山里了

心之所向即为家

这就是为什么我最终又回到了原点

我尽量避免写这样的歌

但这些文字对我来说是一种疗愈

尝试走商业路线，但那些歌从没激起什么水花

现在我回到录音棚，感到尴尬和愚蠢

我来自那个只有葬礼上才会穿西装的街区

有人说我变了，我觉得这听起来就是那回事

我希望你别拿八年前和我现在比

让Wax自由吧，联邦调查局在他带枪时抓住了他

他在女王的监狱里巡游都有一阵子了

我帮过忙，却没得到一句感谢，我猜他们以后会感谢我的

Parji给了我那家伙的地址，现在我欠她一个人情

妈妈发现了Dutty N Dubs，就像那个Dappy, Tulisa和Fazer一样

她说滚出去，带着你的手机和这些乱七八糟的东西

死亡最可悲的不是他们离开了

而是他们走得匆忙，甚至连再见都没来得及说

只要你注视我的双眼，就能真切地看到我的痛苦

Chico，他们从不说谎，你不可能没看过那部电影

你是个懦夫，你可能宁愿死也不敢去杀人

中年危机让我一度考虑要不要留脏辫

我来自贫民窟

我出狱的第一天，就在我妈家门外发生了一起持刀伤人案

我知道她已经习惯了，我去过她的卧室和床边

还有未了的心事，金钱买不来快乐

就像，他们只想要冲突升级

那些枪击事件，他们反而乐在其中

我不需要什么技巧，光是我的态度就能让女人着迷

厌倦了贫穷，我必须通过销售来赚钱

要过这种生活，你必须做出牺牲，而且代价高昂

兄弟，我开走了我一个亲近表亲的车

他住在敌对帮派的地盘

第一周我觉得自己是个大人物，手机每天响个不停

每一枪都打得很准，就像在说“我需要铲除竞争对手”

听着，我三十多岁了，不能再像他那样生活

ADB的节奏，我毁了太多东西

大多数婊子都有标价

但这反而省得我花精力去调情

让Doogie安息吧，带着枪上路

我会成为那些枪声响起的原因

胡说八道关于——卷款潜逃

他只读过两本书，水平就这样

- 说他有手雷，但这可是重罪

那会被定性为T级指控，还会把你归入A类罪犯

她的下面太湿了，我进去之后就会滑出来

- 可能以为我是个小丑，直到他尝到了刀子的滋味

试图说服Lski别为了不值得的事去拼命

我从纽约到Yam都有女人，你们这些小混蛋才会去那样做

而且她们不介意没有任何承诺

如果警察拦下这辆车，长话短说，一切就完了

要知道我们从小玩的是筹码，不是扔骰子

我和同龄人一起奋斗，一直到出人头地

当你谦逊时，你给了他们相信自己所想之事的空间

所以，我要开始告诉自己，我是当今最伟大的说唱歌手

...

[英语]

Allow me to reintroduce myself

They all think you're the driller when I've done more

Don't confuse yourself

Prideful and stubborn, no way in hell would I call you for help

Grade coloured DF, that's one way to make the groupies melt

Go ask the foes if little Nettles used to hit their block

And then hit him a home run

And if we ain't see no one on their block, if we hit up their home

And I done slept on genuine girls, but then took in some hoe ones

The scumiest thing that I ever did was run off with whole ones

No open goals, had hoes in situations begging for tappings

Facts the same way my whole hood used to beg me to rap

And since then, they can't tell you even one time I was capping

They nicked me for some shit - did

But no way you'll catch me ratting

Her head game out of this world, could be Jupiter, could be Saturn

Could be Neptune, maybe Venus, or one of them other planets

Mummy kicked me out the cut, couldn't manage with all the trapping

Started giving cats work to sleep over, and this is all facts

Bad timing, my emerald cuts are not lab diamonds

The internet got people wiling, like, comment, subscribing

Gotta watch what I said in court

They're using lyrics when you catch a case

You tell the truth, you're dumb

If you cap in your raps, you're fucking lame

I'm still cropping pics when I see a Judas in the picture frame

I'm still tagging sticks in cars

I whip, cah I don't mind taking chase

Okay, I done made pagans relocate

I done see love start squeezing the hate

Or dem pilates sessions she be attending now I can't see no waist

You ain't been in no sitch where snitching's beneficial

But you won't speak on names

But I'm just a rapper boy, like what he said

I don't want no Rico Case

Face your fate and when you leave home

Make sure back, you make it safe

- try cut through blending, but no cap all he heard was 808's

Used to dream about a hundred racks, but I've made a lot more

Bought the Patek for 80,000, used to dream about an Offshore

Now I'm not sure, from early became the man of my household

But before that, used to look up to my dad like Harry Osborn

The first wapeen that I ever bought was a .38 special

Free A, he's in jail

Sending niggas to splash hot water from their kettle

And fuck your flowers

There ain't much that I can do with all them petals

I know niggas that used to be him, now him ain't on the schedule

And I know girls, Chanel bagged off, living in council flats

I know guys, no jewelry, but made a killing of the trap

I know guys that killed niggas, but killed them niggas by accident

I know guys first time going jail, got way more than they could fathom

Got Stevie saying, "I should be a bigger artist"

But the truth is I ain't ever tried in music

And always took this shit for granted

Like, one day I'm in the booth, then the next I'm in the hill

Home is where the heart is

That's probably why I end up right back where it started

I try stay away from writing songs like this

But this shit's therapeutic

Attempt to go commercial, but them songs don't ever do shit

Now I'm back in the studio, feeling embarrassed and stupid

I'm from the hood were funeral's, the only time you wear suit

Niggas saying that I've changed, that sounds like whattings I reckon

And I hope you're not comparing eight years ago to the present

Free wax, the federallies caught him slipping with a wesson

He's been touring in Her Majesty's prison now for a second

I done helped out, got no thanks, I'm assuming they'll thank me later

Parji gave me my man's address, and now I owe her a favor

Mom found Dutty N Dubs like that Dappy, Tulisa and Fazer

She said get out, take your phone and all this paraphernalia

The sad thing about death isn't even the fact that they die

It's the fact that dead and gone without even saying goodbye

And you can literally see my pain if you look into my eyes

Chico, they never lie, there's no way you ain't watch that film

And you're a pussy, you probably prefer to die before you kill

A midlife crisis had me contemplating growing dreads

I'm from the trench

A stabbing happened outside my mum's on my first day out the feds

I know she CC walks already, I've been in her bedroom and her bed

Unfinished business too, and money can't buy happiness

It's like, all they want is sticks dropped

And them shootings, they'll be happy to

I don't need game, I'll be turning bitches on just from my attitude

Got tired of being broke, hitting sales is what I had to do

To live this life, you got a sacrifice, and it might cost lots

Bro, I drifted one of my closest cousins car

He lived on the opp block

Thought I was the man, the first week, my phone done a bag a day

Hitting every shot, like, "I need competition eradicated"

Look, can't be like him when I'm 30 plus

ADB beats, I've murdered nuff

Most these bitches got them a price tag

But that just saves me flirting much

Put Doogie to rest, with a burner tucked

I'll be the reason Burner's buss

Telling lies about - ran off with a P

He only reads two birds and up

- said he got grenades, but that's a serious thing

T charge, and a Category A is what they'll put you in

Her pussy so wet, I'll be slipping out after slipping in

- Prolly thought I was a clown, until he got the ying

Trying to convince Lski that ain't worth a crash over

Got hoes from New York to the Yam, you little pricks would bash over

And they're cool with no strings being attached

And if boydem stop this card, then long story short, it's a rap

Just know we grew up playing money up, we weren't shooting no dice

Put in work with my age group, all the way up to dices

When you're humble, you give them room to believe whatever they like

So Imma start telling myself I'm the greatest rapper alive
