It ain't nothing I want more
Ain't nothing I want more
I ain't c-
I told you, when I first came here, I said, "I ain't come here to waste my time"
I came here
They gave us a chance to get in, like we asked for
And that's, that's what we here to do
(Yeah, nigga, 26)
The job still ain't done
(Straight up)
But I, I said, "You, you know what I'm here for"
Back on top, punchin' the clock, clutchin' sanity
I got more cribs than Habitat for Humanity
Shit profound, we propagating more profanity
Paid off collections from recollections of calamity (oh shit, look, that nigga gonna shoot)
The shit pop off, I learned to duck under the canopy (oh shit, run, nigga, run)
'Til it cool off, they murked a nigga right in front of me
Told him to come off his chain for tryna floss
Died over a cross just like the start of Christianity
When I was a boy, the teacher often reprimanded me (Jermaine)
Thought it was toys, it was a Glock this nigga handed me
I busted the trees, was barely strong enough to squeeze
Bullets traveled through leaves, it probably killed somebody randomly
Ran in the crib and played it off amongst the family
Nightmare scenes, the police finally apprehended me
Woke up screamin', seen a demon had his hand on me
Still sport the scar on my arm from where he branded me
Like a Que Dog, my niggas burnin' with the mute off
Loud pack smoke through the cracks, I catch a contact
Triggerin' a paranoid mindset, now I'm back
Teeterin' between enlightened and insanity
Now that I'm rich, I feel nobody understandin' me
All I can do is cut the mic on, holler at you
Can't let the fame scare me off from speaking candidly
All them niggas is so Kane, they started singin' like Danity
Now I'm left here, paid like I planned to be, damn
A lot of times, those situations are, um, are handled way before the time comes
In the summer, I think when you truly prepare yourself, and
With training and conditioning, and things like that
When you cheat yourself, you fail in those moments
You know, you crash, and when you really put the time in and
Whether people see it, or whether people know it or not
You know, it always come to light
It ain't nothing I want more
Il n'y a rien que je ne veuille plus
Ain't nothing I want more
N'y a rien que je ne veuille plus
I ain't c-
Je ne suis pas v-
I told you, when I first came here, I said, "I ain't come here to waste my time"
Je te l'ai dit, quand je suis arrivé la première fois, j'ai dit "Je ne suis pas venu ici pour perdre mon temps"

Je suis venu ici
They gave us a chance to get in, like we asked for
Ils nous ont donné une chance d'entrer, comme nous l'avions demandé
And that's, that's what we here to do
Et c'est, c'est ce pourquoi nous sommes là

(Ouais, négro, 26)
The job still ain't done
Le travail n'est toujours pas fait
(Straight up)
(Direct)
But I, I said, "You, you know what I'm here for"
Mais j'ai, j'ai dit "Tu, tu sais pourquoi je suis là"
Back on top, punchin' the clock, clutchin' sanity
De retour au top, poinçonnant l'horloge, maintenant la raison

The shit pop off, I learned to duck under the canopy (oh shit, run, nigga, run)
Cette merde explose, j'ai appris à esquiver sous la canopée (oh merde, cours, négro, cours)
'Til it cool off, they murked a nigga right in front of me
Jusqu'à ce que ça se calme, ils ont assommé un négro juste en face de moi
Told him to come off his chain for tryna floss
Lui ont dit d'enlever ses chaînes, qu'il essayait de crâner
Died over a cross just like the start of Christianity
Il est mort sur la croix comme au début du Christianisme
When I was a boy, the teacher often reprimanded me (Jermaine)
Quand j'étais un petit garçon, le professeur me réprimandait souvent (Jermaine)
Thought it was toys, it was a Glock this nigga handed me
J'ai cru que c'était des jouets mais c'était un Glock que ce négro me tendait
I busted the trees, was barely strong enough to squeeze
J'ai explosé les arbres, à peine assez fort pour ne pas céder
Bullets traveled through leaves, it probably killed somebody randomly
Les balles traversaient les feuilles, elles ont probablement tué quelqu'un de façon aléatoire
Ran in the crib and played it off amongst the family
J'ai couru à la piaule et ai rejoué la scène devant la famille
Nightmare scenes, the police finally apprehended me
Des cauchemars, la police m'a finalement arrêté
Woke up screamin', seen a demon had his hand on me
Je me suis réveillé en criant, j'ai vu qu'un démon avait sa main sur moi
Still sport the scar on my arm from where he branded me
J'ai toujours la cicatrice sur mon bras de là où il m'a attrapé
Like a Que Dog, my niggas burnin' with the mute off
Comme un Que Dog, mes négros brûlent avec le silence
Loud pack smoke through the cracks, I catch a contact
Grosse fumée opaque à travers les fissures, j'ai attrapé un contact
Triggerin' a paranoid mindset, now I'm back
Déclencher un état d'esprit paranoïaque, maintenant je suis de retour
Teeterin' between enlightened and insanity
Oscillant entre l'illumination et la folie
Now that I'm rich, I feel nobody understandin' me
Maintenant que je suis riche, j'ai l'impression que personne ne me comprend
All I can do is cut the mic on, holler at you
Tout ce que je peux faire c'est couper le micro, crier après toi
Can't let the fame scare me off from speaking candidly
Je ne peux pas laisser la célébrité m'effrayer de parler franchement
All them niggas is so Kane, they started singin' like Danity
Tous ces négros sont tellement Kane, ils ont commencé à chanter comme Danity
Now I'm left here, paid like I planned to be, damn
Maintenant je suis parti, payé comme je l'avais prévu, putain
A lot of times, those situations are, um, are handled way before the time comes
Pas mal de fois, ces situations sont, um, sont prit en charge bien avant qu'elles n'arrivent
In the summer, I think when you truly prepare yourself, and
Pendant l'été, je pense quand tu te prépares vraiment, et
With training and conditioning, and things like that
Avec de l'entrainement et du conditionnement, et quelque chose comme ça
When you cheat yourself, you fail in those moments
Quand tu te trompes toi-même, tu échoues dans ces moments
You know, you crash, and when you really put the time in and
Tu sais, tu te crash, et quand tu y mets vraiment le temps et
Whether people see it, or whether people know it or not
Les gens le voient, ou les gens le savent ou pas
You know, it always come to light
Tu sais, ça vient toujours à la lumière

'Til it cool off, they murked a nigga right in front of me
Até esfriar, eles mataram um mano bem na minha frente
Told him to come off his chain for tryna floss

Died over a cross just like the start of Christianity
Morreu por causa de uma cruz, assim como o início do Cristianismo
When I was a boy, the teacher often reprimanded me (Jermaine)

A lot of times, those situations are, um, are handled way before the time comes
多くの場合、こういう状況はその時が来るずっと前に操られてる
In the summer, I think when you truly prepare yourself, and
この夏、本当に自身のために準備できたと思う時、そして
With training and conditioning, and things like that
トレーニングコンディショニング、そういうことで
When you cheat yourself, you fail in those moments
自分自身を裏切る時、その瞬間自分自身をがっかりさせる
You know, you crash, and when you really put the time in and
ぶつかって、本当に時間をかけて
Whether people see it, or whether people know it or not
周りが見ていようがなかろうが、周りが知っていようが知るまいが
You know, it always come to light
それはいつだって明らかになる

Это ещё не всё, я хочу большего
Ещё не всё, я хочу большего
Я не—
Когда я впервые пришёл сюда, я сказал: «Я здесь не для того, чтобы тратить время»
Я пришёл сюда
Они дали нам шанс сделать это, как мы и хотели
И поэтому, поэтому мы здесь
Йеа, нигга, 2-6
Ещё не конец
Погнали
Но я, я сказал: «Вы же знаете, зачем я здесь»
[Куплет: Джей Коул]
Снова на вершине, снова работать, психика уже напряглась
У меня больше домов, чем у Habitat for Humanity
Запутанное дерьмо, мы проповедуем ненормативную лексику
Попрощался с коллекциями вещей, напоминающих о бедности (Вот чёрт, смотри, ниггер сейчас выстрелет)
Тот гавнюк умер, я научился прятаться под навесом (Вот чёрт, беги, ниггер, беги)
Пока всё не утихнет, они убили ниггера прямо у меня на глазах
Ему же сказали отдать цепочку, он ей понтовался
Умер на кресте, звучит, как начало христианства
Когда я был в школе, учитель всегда отчитывал меня (Джермейн)
Хоть это и было детство, но он словно сам дал мне в руки Глок
Пошёл в криминал, был почти достаточно сильным, чтобы запугать
Пули летели, словно сквозь листья, возможно, они случайно кого-то убили
Приходил домой и притворялся хорошим среди семьи
Кошмарные сцены, копы в конце концов задержали меня
Проснулся, крича, увидел демона с рукой на моём плече
У меня до сих пор шрам на руке, которым он заклеймил меня
Как и у Que Dog, мои жертвы горят, не издавая звука
Ароматы марихуаны в перемешку с крэком, я ловлю кайф
Провоцирую своё параноидальное мышление, я опять с вами
Балансирую между просветлением и безумием
Теперь я богат, и никто не понимает меня
Всё, что я могу, это взять микрофон, наорать на вас
Не могу позволить славе запрещать мне откровенно говорить
Все эти ниггеры такие Кейны, они начали стукачить, как Дэнити
Теперь я остаюсь здесь, с кучей бабла, как и планировал, чёрт
[Аутро: Дамиан Лиллард]
Очень часто такие ситуации, эм, решаются за долго до того, как придёт нужное время
Летом, я думаю, ты хорошенько себя подготавливаешь, и
Тренировками и питанием, ну и прочими вещами
Когда вы недорабатываете, то терпите поражение в важных моментах
Ну, типа, вы терпите крах, а когда вы реально вкладываете время в это и
Неважно видят ли это люди или нет
Знайте, вы всегда достигните успеха
