8 balls wit a safety pin

I deserve the finer things

Told myself back then

When I used to ride a schwinn

Now I'm on a tour bus
如今我已坐上巡演巴士
Going places I ain't never been

Wrote my rhymes down on a paper bag

That was way back

Having dreams of a cadillac

Dog I had to bounce back
兄弟我必须东山再起
Locked a ni**a up
有人想把我困住
Why they do me like that

Now I'm on the Jack in the county
如今我在监狱里
Asking mommy for some money
向妈妈讨要生活费
Swear to God she'd do anything for me

Now we out the hood and the nightmare is us going back
如今我们走出贫民窟 最怕噩梦是重返旧地
So I won't go to sleep 'til I finish that

Cousin of death anyway

I built it up from the ground

Now tell me would you sacrifice your dreams

Got me missing sleep 'cause my mind on the beat
彻夜难眠 只因旋律萦绕心头
So while I'm counting bars y'all be counting sheep
当你们酣然入梦 我仍在推敲韵脚
No cheat sheet get it out the mud
没有捷径 唯有从泥泞中奋起
Get it how you live why I'm out here in the field
以生存之道拼搏 所以我扎根于此
My ni**a wake up wipe the cold out your eyes

It's a cold cold world but even hotter when you die
这世界冷酷无情 但死后更为煎熬
So no try to do what about you
别问他人如何 专注走自己的路
Work off well met do the same thing too
辛勤付出终得回报 我们同样如此奋斗
A lot locked up wishing they was like you
多少人被禁锢 渴望能像你一样自由
Got a letter from my ni**a saying he be out in June

Been down for a minute and every since sentence

Things ain't been the same so I'm missing my ni**a

Staring at the ceiling thinking how far I came
凝望天花板 回想这一路走来的艰辛
Was trapped in the storm but I made it out the rain
