Woah woah woah
Once you cross that line it ain't no tryin' to fix it
一旦你越过红线 就再也没有修复关系的机会了
You want me to forgive you let's be realistic
你祈求我原谅你 我们还是现实一点吧
I can't kick it with your kind like I tore my meniscus
我无法跟你这种人相处 就像半月板撕裂一样难受
How you go from co-defendant to a ******* witness
你是如何从共同被告转为证人的
They'll stand on couches with you but won't stand on business
他们或许会跟你坐在沙发上闲聊 但绝不会插手你的事情
Woah
I watched everybody turn on my brother
我亲眼目睹我哥们众叛亲离
Like he ain't have 'em out here flyin' jets and ******* *******
就好像他从没让周围的人坐上飞机和享受过美女簇拥
This **** ridiculous
这真的太荒谬了
I feel your pain my brother
哥们 我对你感同身受
I know you from the struggle
我理解你的不易 自己艰苦奋斗走到今天
I know how hard you hustled just to take care of your mother

I know you took clothes off your back for niggas you call brother
我明白 你为了那些与你称兄道弟的人牺牲自己
I know how hard it get in this jungle

Huh life's a ************ yeah
生活就是这么一地鸡毛
I know ain't nobody perfect
我明白人无完人
But what's the point in makin' it out if all they do is cuff ya
但是如果他们处处限制你为难你 那你成功了又有什么意义
You know we be comin' from like
你知道的 我们出身如何
The worst conditions the worst circumstances
处于社会的底层 又长在恶劣的环境中
The trenches the gutter
地处战乱的区域 生活在贫困地区
And sometimes we be forced to make decisions

That we don't even wanna make
被迫做一些我们极不情愿的事情
It be about survival

At the end of the day we be havin' good hearts

They just be in bad places
他们生活的环境就是如此恶劣
I guess that's life though

Father God forgive me for my sins
上帝啊 请宽恕我的罪过吧
Take the mask off all my enemies that's out here actin' like my friends
卸下敌人的面具 露出他们虚伪的真面目 他们装作是我的亲朋好友
Did some **** I'm prayin' I never gotta do again
我做过蠢事 我发誓再也不犯了
I put blood sweat and tears inside this win
我付出了血汗与泪水 终于取得这次胜利
If I take care of my hood the prosecutor call me Gotti
如果我太过关照我的社区 检察官会觉得我是黑势力
Turn my back on the hood they probably kill me probably rob me
但是违背社区的意愿 他们又会对我痛下杀手 或者对我洗劫一空
It's a Catch-22 I'm bein' honest
说实话 这对我来说是个两难抉择
Hard work tryna keep the past behind me
我只想努力工作 放下过去 重新开始

Skinny and Wanwan used to rap I know they hear it
Skinny和Wanwan以前也会说唱 我知道他们一定在听我的作品
It ain't that easy puttin' pain inside of lyrics
这不容易 在歌词中尽数表达我的痛苦之情
Send this up to Heaven so they can clear it
但愿这首歌能传到天堂之上 让他们好好看看
Y'all know like real street niggas gon' feel this ****
你们知道的 真正在街头生存过的人才能明白这种感受
And I don't want niggas to get misunderstood

'Cause the rules we live by don't even matter no more

Just a just a setback for you to come back
只不过是一次小小挫折 日后将成为你东山再起的垫脚石

人不会被一直击垮的
Know what I'm sayin'
你知道我在说什么
'Til then we gon' hold this **** down straight up
在那之前 一定要坚定信念 永不放弃
