Boys and girls, wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night was at this real wild party
There was liquor overflowin' the cup
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
So I took one girl outside with me
Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me
I said, "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"
She said
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone
On the bedroom floor
'Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
I ain't got a job now
He's just smokin' rock now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life
Girl, you ain't the only one to have a baby
That's no excuse to be living all crazy
So she stared me right square in the eye
And said, "Everyday I wake up, hoping to die"
She said, "They're gonna know about pain
'Cause me and my sister ran away
So our daddy couldn't rape us
Before I was a teenager
I done been through more shit
You can't even relate to"
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone
On the bedroom floor
'Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
I ain't got a job now
He's just smokin' rock now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life
What would you do?
Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses
What would you do?
Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses
What would you do?
Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses
What would you do?
Get up off my feet!
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone
On the bedroom floor
'Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?

Saturday night was at this real wild party
Samedi soir, j'étais à cette fête vraiment sauvage
There was liquor overflowin' the cup
Il y avait de l'alcool qui débordait de la coupe
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
Environ cinq ou six strip-teaseuses essayaient de travailler pour un dollar
So I took one girl outside with me
Alors j'ai emmené une fille dehors avec moi
Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me
Son nom était Londy, elle est allée au collège avec moi
I said, "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
J'ai dit, "Pourquoi tu es là-dedans à danser pour de l'argent ?
I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"
Je suppose que beaucoup de choses ont changé depuis la dernière fois que je t'ai vue"
She said
Elle a dit
What would you do if your son was at home
Que ferais-tu si ton fils était à la maison
Crying all alone
Pleurant tout seul
On the bedroom floor
Sur le sol de sa chambre
'Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Parce qu'il a faim et que le seul moyen de le nourrir est de
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
Coucher avec un homme pour un peu d'argent ?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
Et son père est allé et revenu de prison
I ain't got a job now
Je n'ai pas de travail maintenant
He's just smokin' rock now
Il fume juste du crack maintenant
So for you this is just a good time
Alors pour toi c'est juste un bon moment
But for me this is what I call life
Mais pour moi c'est ce que j'appelle la vie
Girl, you ain't the only one to have a baby
Fille, tu n'es pas la seule à avoir un bébé
That's no excuse to be living all crazy
Ce n'est pas une excuse pour vivre de manière folle
So she stared me right square in the eye
Alors elle m'a regardé droit dans les yeux
And said, "Everyday I wake up, hoping to die"
Et a dit, "Chaque jour je me réveille, espérant mourir"
She said, "They're gonna know about pain
Elle a dit, "Ils vont connaître la douleur
'Cause me and my sister ran away
Parce que moi et ma sœur nous sommes enfuies
So our daddy couldn't rape us
Pour que notre père ne puisse pas nous violer
Before I was a teenager
Avant que je sois adolescente
I done been through more shit
J'ai déjà traversé plus de merde
You can't even relate to"
Tu ne peux même pas t'identifier à ça"

Saturday night was at this real wild party
Sábado à noite estava numa festa realmente selvagem
There was liquor overflowin' the cup
Havia bebida transbordando do copo
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
Cerca de cinco ou seis strippers tentando trabalhar por um dólar
So I took one girl outside with me
Então eu levei uma garota para fora comigo
Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me
O nome dela era Londy, ela estudou no ensino fundamental comigo
I said, "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
Eu disse, "Por que você está aí dançando por dinheiro?
I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"
Acho que muita coisa mudou desde a última vez que te vi"
She said
Ela disse
What would you do if your son was at home
O que você faria se seu filho estivesse em casa
Crying all alone
Chorando sozinho
On the bedroom floor
No chão do quarto
'Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Porque ele está com fome e a única maneira de alimentá-lo é
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
Dormir com um homem por um pouco de dinheiro?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
E o pai dele está entrando e saindo da prisão
I ain't got a job now
Eu não tenho um emprego agora
He's just smokin' rock now
Ele está apenas fumando crack agora
So for you this is just a good time
Então para você isso é apenas um bom momento
But for me this is what I call life
Mas para mim isso é o que eu chamo de vida
Girl, you ain't the only one to have a baby
Garota, você não é a única a ter um bebê
That's no excuse to be living all crazy
Isso não é desculpa para viver de maneira louca
So she stared me right square in the eye
Então ela me encarou bem nos olhos
And said, "Everyday I wake up, hoping to die"
E disse, "Todos os dias eu acordo, esperando morrer"
She said, "They're gonna know about pain
Ela disse, "Eles vão saber sobre dor
'Cause me and my sister ran away
Porque eu e minha irmã fugimos
So our daddy couldn't rape us
Então nosso pai não poderia nos estuprar

Antes de eu ser uma adolescente
I done been through more shit
Eu já passei por mais merda

I ain't got a job now

Chica, no eres la única en tener un bebé
That's no excuse to be living all crazy
Eso no es excusa para vivir de manera loca

Saturday night was at this real wild party
Samstagnacht war ich auf dieser wirklich wilden Party
There was liquor overflowin' the cup
Da war Alkohol, der das Glas überflutete
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
Etwa fünf oder sechs Stripperinnen versuchten, für einen Dollar zu arbeiten
So I took one girl outside with me
Also nahm ich ein Mädchen mit nach draußen
Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me
Ihr Name war Londy, sie ging mit mir auf die Mittelschule
I said, "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
Ich sagte: „Warum tanzt du da drinnen für Geld?
I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"
Ich schätze, es hat sich viel verändert, seit ich dich das letzte Mal gesehen habe“
She said
Sie sagte
What would you do if your son was at home
Was würdest du tun, wenn dein Sohn zu Hause wäre
Crying all alone
Ganz alleine weint
On the bedroom floor
Auf dem Schlafzimmerboden
'Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Weil er hungrig ist und die einzige Möglichkeit, ihn zu ernähren, besteht darin,
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
Mit einem Mann für ein bisschen Geld zu schlafen?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
Und sein Vater ist immer wieder im Gefängnis
I ain't got a job now
Ich habe jetzt keinen Job
He's just smokin' rock now
Er raucht jetzt nur noch Crack
So for you this is just a good time
Also ist das für dich nur eine gute Zeit
But for me this is what I call life
Aber für mich ist das, was ich Leben nenne
Girl, you ain't the only one to have a baby
Mädchen, du bist nicht die einzige, die ein Baby hat
That's no excuse to be living all crazy
Das ist keine Entschuldigung, um völlig verrückt zu leben
So she stared me right square in the eye
Also starrte sie mir direkt in die Augen
And said, "Everyday I wake up, hoping to die"
Und sagte: „Jeden Tag wache ich auf und hoffe zu sterben“
She said, "They're gonna know about pain
Sie sagte: „Sie werden von Schmerz erfahren
'Cause me and my sister ran away
Denn ich und meine Schwester sind weggelaufen
So our daddy couldn't rape us
Damit unser Vater uns nicht vergewaltigen konnte
Before I was a teenager
Bevor ich ein Teenager war
I done been through more shit
Ich habe schon mehr Scheiße durchgemacht
You can't even relate to"
Du kannst dich nicht einmal damit identifizieren“

Ragazzi e ragazze, volete sentire una storia vera?
Saturday night was at this real wild party
Sabato sera ero a questa festa davvero selvaggia
There was liquor overflowin' the cup
C'era alcol che traboccava dalla tazza
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
Circa cinque o sei spogliarelliste cercavano di lavorare per un dollaro
So I took one girl outside with me
Così ho portato fuori una ragazza con me
Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me
Il suo nome era Londy, andava alla scuola media con me
I said, "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
Ho detto, "Perché sei lì dentro a ballare per soldi?
I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"
Immagino che molte cose siano cambiate da quando ti ho vista l'ultima volta"
She said
Lei ha detto
What would you do if your son was at home
Cosa faresti se tuo figlio fosse a casa
Crying all alone
Piange tutto solo
On the bedroom floor
Sul pavimento della camera da letto
'Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Perché ha fame e l'unico modo per nutrirlo è
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
Dormire con un uomo per un po' di soldi?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
E suo padre è andato avanti e indietro dal carcere
I ain't got a job now
Non ho un lavoro ora
He's just smokin' rock now
Lui sta solo fumando crack ora
So for you this is just a good time
Quindi per te questo è solo un bel momento
But for me this is what I call life
Ma per me questo è quello che chiamo vita
Girl, you ain't the only one to have a baby
Ragazza, non sei l'unica ad avere un bambino
That's no excuse to be living all crazy
Questo non è un pretesto per vivere in modo folle
So she stared me right square in the eye
Così mi ha fissato dritto negli occhi
And said, "Everyday I wake up, hoping to die"
E ha detto, "Ogni giorno mi sveglio, sperando di morire"
She said, "They're gonna know about pain
Ha detto, "Sapremo del dolore
'Cause me and my sister ran away
Perché io e mia sorella siamo scappate
So our daddy couldn't rape us
Così nostro padre non poteva violentarci
Before I was a teenager
Prima che fossi un'adolescente
I done been through more shit
Ho passato più merda
You can't even relate to"
Non puoi nemmeno relazionarti"

There was liquor overflowin' the cup
Minuman keras meluap-luap di cangkir
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
Sekitar lima atau enam penari telanjang mencoba mencari uang
So I took one girl outside with me
Jadi saya mengajak satu gadis keluar bersama saya
Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me
Namanya Londy, dia sekolah di SMP bersama saya

I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"
Saya kira banyak hal telah berubah sejak saya terakhir melihatmu"
She said
