Hustle harder till secret indictment time came around

And you could look up and down the streets and I can't be found
你可以在街头上下寻找，但你找不到我
Put in twenty-four hour shifts but that ain't me now
曾经昼夜不停地工作但那已不再是现在的我
Got a face too easy to trace niggas mouths got slow leaks
我的脸太容易被认出 嘴巴不严的家伙们泄露了秘密
Had to hire a team of workers couldn't play those streets
不得不雇用一队人马，那些街头已不再适合我
See outer space like Mercury you jerkin' me?
你是不是在戏弄我，像水星般遥远的外太空
Hectic

Had to call upon my wolves to send niggas the message

I said this "Let's play fair and we can stay here

They stopped playin' with my paper and we got richer

Then hard times fell upon us half of my staff had warrants

The other half in the casket lay dormant

I felt like life was cheatin' me

For the first time in my life I was gettin' money

Was this a lesson God teachin' me?
这是上帝给我的教训吗？
Was He sayin' that

I was playin' a game straight from Hell

From which few came back?
一个很少有人能回来的游戏？
Like bad coke pimp or die was my mind frame bad?
像糟糕的***皮条客或死，我的心态是否已经扭曲？
When niggas was thinkin' simply if I was turnin' cocaine crack?
当那些人简单地想，我是否在将***变成**？
Ain't a whole lotta brain to that just tryna maintain a stack
这不需要太多脑力，只是想维持一堆财富
And not collide like two trains that's on the same track
不想像两列同轨的火车相撞
But get my life together like the oils I bring back
但要像我带回的油一样，把生活理顺
In the bottom of the pot when the water gets hot
当水变热时，油会浮上来
Got my transporter take it 'cross the border then stop

For three straight weeks niggas slaughtered the block

But you know the game's food it fucked up me and my dudes

One drought can wipe a nigga out faster than the cops

And this unstable way of livin' just had to stop

Half of my niggas got time we done real things
我的一半兄弟都进了监狱，我们曾做过真实的事情
By '94 became the subject of half of y'all niggas rhymes

Public apologies to the families of those caught up in my shit
向那些因我而受牵连的家庭公开道歉
But that's the life for us lost souls brought up in this shit
但这就是我们这些在街头长大的迷失灵魂的生活
The life and times of a nigga mind excited with crime
一个被犯罪激发的黑人心灵的生活与时代
And the lavish luxuries that just excited my mind
以及那些奢华的享受，让我的心灵为之激动
I figured "Shit why risk myself?
我心想：“何必冒险呢？
I just write it in rhymes
我只需用韵律写下这一切
And let you feel me and if you don't like it then fine"
让你感受我的世界，如果你不喜欢，那也无所谓”
The mind state of a nigga who boosted the crime rate

So high in one city they send National Guards to get me
