Hold it down, I was sentenced by the crown
Halt es unten, ich wurde vom Kronrat verurteilt
And I never used to smile, though I never used to frown
Und ich habe nie gelächelt, obwohl ich nie die Stirn gerunzelt habe
Ten toes on the ground, what the Hell?

(La mia Gloria)
Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, yeah (yeah)
Come l'ultima volta che mi hai visto, tienimi, sì (sì)
(Glori-)
(Glori-)
Lately, I've been fucked up, been havin' a hard time
Ultimamente, sono stato a pezzi, ho avuto momenti difficili
Like back when my dawg died
Come quando è morto il mio amico
Felt my heart split apart like apartheid
Ho sentito il mio cuore spezzarsi come l'apartheid
I could have survived, thug life, full of carbine
Avrei potuto sopravvivere, vita da teppista, piena di carabine
Hold it down, I was sentenced by the crown
Resisti, sono stato condannato dalla corona
And I never used to smile, though I never used to frown
E non sorridevo mai, anche se non facevo mai il broncio
Ten toes on the ground, what the Hell?
Dieci dita per terra, che diavolo?
My life came turnin' around
La mia vita ha preso una svolta
From runnin' wild in my town to the glory
Da quando correvo selvaggio nella mia città alla gloria
Hold me, yeah (ngiphakamise)
Tienimi, sì (mi alzo)
This is my story, yeah (indaba yami le)
Questa è la mia storia, sì (questa è la mia storia)
(Gloria) Glory, yeah
(Gloria) Gloria, sì
(My Gloria)
(La mia Gloria)
Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, yeah (yeah)
Come l'ultima volta che mi hai visto, tienimi, sì (sì)
(Glori-)
(Glori-)
I remember when they shipped me from the cans
Ricordo quando mi hanno spedito dalle lattine
To Chelmsford HMP and my celly had it bad
A Chelmsford HMP e il mio compagno di cella stava male
So I had to have his back, niggas started fightin'
Quindi dovevo coprirgli le spalle, i ragazzi hanno iniziato a combattere
Then they cut me on my hand
Poi mi hanno tagliato la mano
So I grabbed one from the back and I flung him off the landing
Quindi ne ho preso uno da dietro e l'ho buttato giù dal pianerottolo
You know the screws get extra ruthless when you're Black
Sai che le viti diventano extra spietate quando sei nero
Layin' on my back, now the block's feelin' mad
Disteso sulla mia schiena, ora il blocco si sente pazzo
Now I'm in a lab tryna do the best I can
Ora sono in laboratorio cercando di fare del mio meglio
(Glori-) hold me, yeah
(Glori-) tienimi, sì
This is my story, yes, ooh
Questa è la mia storia, sì, ooh
(Gloria) Glory, yeah
(Gloria) Gloria, sì
(My Gloria)
(La mia Gloria)
Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, yeah
Come l'ultima volta che mi hai visto, tienimi, sì
Said, first things first
Ho detto, prima di tutto
I finna let you know that I been bad since birth
Voglio farti sapere che sono stato cattivo fin dalla nascita
I heard it from the nurse
L'ho sentito dall'infermiera
Lookin' and went searchin' through trials that occurred
Guardando e cercando attraverso le prove che sono accadute
Then I started workin' twice as hard
Poi ho iniziato a lavorare il doppio
Havin' nightmares of the day I fall off
Avendo incubi del giorno in cui cadrò
But I stick around like herpes, I ain't lettin' up
Ma resto attorno come l'herpes, non mi arrendo
With harmonies just like Bone Thugz, ooh
Con armonie proprio come Bone Thugz, ooh
Hold me, yeah
Tienimi, sì
This is my story, yeah, ooh
Questa è la mia storia, sì, ooh
Glory, yeah
Gloria, sì
Like the last time that you ever seen me, hold me, yeah
Come l'ultima volta che mi hai visto, tienimi, sì
Glory, yeah
Gloria, sì
Indaba yami le (glory) (Gloria)

This is my story (glory) (my Gloria)
Questa è la mia storia (gloria) (la mia Gloria)
Indaba yami le (glory) (things ain't been the same since you went away)
Questa è la mia storia (gloria) (le cose non sono state le stesse da quando te ne sei andata)
This is my story (glory)
Questa è la mia storia (gloria)
Indaba yami le (glory)
Questa è la mia storia (gloria)

Questa è la mia storia (Okay, va bene, su tre)
