Good morn' or evening, friends
Smile, you recordin'?

Slammin' Bentley doors like we invented doors
Twenty years ago we drove Bentley Azures
We drinkin' Cristal in, yeah
Kept the trey on me like Chris Paulin'
Drinkin' Ace of Spade like it's codeine now
Tryna put a million on the whole team now
Push through the pain so we can see new life
So all the ladies havin' babies, see a sacrifice
Mama had four kids, but she's a lesbian
Had to pretend so long that she's a thespian
Had to hide in the closet, so she medicate
Society shame and the pain was too much to take
Cried tears of joy when you fell in love
Don't matter to me if it's a him or her
I just wanna see you smile through all the hate
Marie Antoinette, baby, let 'em eat cake

Bad times turn to good memories, smile
Even when I'm gone and you remember me, smile
Good times never fade away, smile
Even if I'm not with you here today, smile
Good morn' or evening, friends (smile)
Here's your friendly announcer (smile)

Far as draft picks, my name did not get called
Bet before I go, I put a billion on the board
Hall of Fame Hov, I did it all without a pen
Y'all knew that was comin', I had to remind y'all again, huh?
Flyin' paper planes through the projects
Now the whole project's on my jet
Now you see the real in the front row
In every one of y'all televised shows
Super facts
Niggas switched sides, traded pride, we don't do all that
A loss ain't a loss, it's a lesson
Appreciate the pain, it's a blessin'

Bad times turn to good memories, smile
Even when I'm gone and you remember me, smile
Good times never fade away, smile
Even if I'm not with you here today, smile
Good morn' or evening, friends

I mastered my aesthetics
I know you often heard me wax poetic
'Bout bein' back in the Lexus
But trust me, that was nothin'
A nigga up in the hundreds of millions
I have no ceilings, ah, this that feelin', I'm that boy
Anita Baker's "You Bring Me Joy"
Slappin' out of the toy, the separation is clear
In my rear-view mirror, objects is further than they appear
Oh yeah, I was born with a pair
Playin' for high stakes
Norman Cake, he looked up and out of the Lear
How niggas can't relate?
Fuck a slice of the apple pie, want my own cake
Chargin' my own fate
Respect Jimmy Iovine
But he gotta respect the Elohim as a whole new regime
And niggas playin' for power, huh
So our music is ours
Niggas only own houses
Ours was, "Fuck you, pay me"
Now it's, "Fuck payin' me, I pay you
Put the rest away for Blue"
That blood money, I giggle at it
Can't even support my missus' habit
Jewelry shoppin' in Paris
All y'all jewelers should be embarrassed, huh
Blood diamonds drippin', we cute
I still ain't trippin', that's life, winners and losers, huh
Drug dealers and abusers, America like me ruthless
My therapist said I relapsed
I said, "Prehaps I Freudian slipped in European whips"
God sent me to break the chain
I'm the true and livin'
God in the flesh, the rest of these niggas is vain
A stain on the white suit, inferior IQ
Niggas'll rip your shit off TIDAL just to spite you
Ahhhh, what did I do?
'Cept try to free you
Niggas'll love you but hate you 'cause they can't be you
Dump 'em all in the bayou, uh
Everybody wave bye to the guy you thought you can lie to
This was meant to be a haiku, huh
But my story's too wide to fit inside the line
And too old, these that drugs
Heroin flow, I spaz on the stove
This is Hov, no flex zone, nigga, who lied to you?
Look, you a pedestrian
Don't ever question the security I provided you
Oh y'all thought I was washed?
I'm at the cleaners
Launderin' dirty money like the teamsters, huh
Shout out to Hoffa back home, he in the church
When I heard you got booked, that shit hurt
Fear for you, bro, we know the system don't work
Take a young nigga freedom over some dirt
Yet it's legal in Colorado
Yeah, we deny
Black entrepreneurs, free enterprise
That's why it's a black market, that's why it's called the trap
That's why it's called the project 'cause it's exactly that
All these people was gon' kill me, heh
'Cause the more I reveal me, the more they 'fraid of the real me
Welcome back Carter, smile

Living in the shadow
Can you imagine what kind of life it is to live?
In the shadows people see you as happy and free
Because that's what you want them to see
Living two lives, happy, but not free
You live in the shadows for fear of someone hurting your family or the person you love
The world is changing and they say it's time to be free
But you live with the fear of just being me
Living in the shadow feels like the safe place to be
No harm for them, no harm for me
But life is short, and it's time to be free
Love who you love, because life isn't guaranteed

Society shame and the pain was too much to take
La honte de la société et la douleur étaient trop grandes pour être supportées
Cried tears of joy when you fell in love
Des larmes de joie ont coulé quand tu es tombé amoureux

[Intro: JAY-Z & Stevie Wonder]
God morgon eller kväll, vänner
Le, spelar du in?

[Vers 1: JAY-Z]
Slår igen Bentley dörrar som vi uppfann dörrar
20 år sedan körde vi Bentley Azures
Vi drack Cristal då
Yeah, höll brickan på mig som Chris Paul då
Drack Ace of Spades som det är codeine nu
Försöker lägga en miljon på hela laget nu
Pressa genom smärtan så vi kan se nya livet
Så alla damer som föder barn, ser ert uppoffrande
Mamma hade fyra barn, men hon är lesbisk
Behövde låtsats så länge att hon är en thespian
Behövde gömma sig i gardеroben, så hon läker
Samhällets skam och smärta var för myckеt att ta
Grät tårar av glädje när du blev kär
Spelar ingen roll för mig om det är en han eller henne
Jag vill bara se dig le genom allt hatt
Marie Antoinette, baby, låt de äta tårta

[Refräng: JAY-Z & Stevie Wonder]
Dåliga tider blir till goda minnen, le
Även när jag är borta och du kommer ihåg mig, le
Bra tider kommer aldrig försvinna, le
Även om jag inte är här med dig idag, le
God morgon eller kväll, vänner
Le
Här är din vänliga talare
Le

[Vers 2: JAY-Z]
När det gäller utkast blev mitt namn inte uppropat
Innan jag försvinner lägger jag en miljard på tavlan
Hall of Fame Hov, jag gjorde allt utan en penna
Ni visste att det skulle komma, jag behövde påminna er igen, huh?
Flyger pappaersflygplan genom projekten
Nu hela projekten på mitt jet
Nu ser du de äkta på den främsta raden
I alla TV-program
Super fakta
Niggas byte sida, byte stolthet, vi gör inte sånt
En förlust är inte en förlust, det är en läxa
Uppskatta smärtan, det är en välsignelse

[Refräng: JAY-Z & Stevie Wonder]
Dåliga tider blir till goda minnen, le
Även när jag är borta och du kommer ihåg mig, le
Bra tider kommer aldrig försvinna, le
Även om jag inte är här med dig idag, le
God morgon eller kväll, vänner

[Vers 3: JAY-Z]
Jag bemästrade min estetik
Jag vet att du ofta hörde mig bli poetisk
Om att vara i en Lexus
Men lita på mig, det var ingen, en nigga har
Hundra miljoner, jag har inget tak
Ah, det här är känslan, jag är den killen
Anita Bakers "You Bring Me Joy" drar ut leksaken
Separationen är tydlig i min backspegel
Oh yeah, jag föddes med ett par, spelade för höga risker
Normans Cay, han såg upp och ut från Lear
Hur kan niggas inte relatera?
Fuck en bit äppelpaj, vill ha min egna tårta
Bestämmer mitt egna öde, respekt Jimmy Iovine
Men han måste respektera Elohim som en helt ny ordning
Och niggas spelar för makt, huh
Så vår musik är vår, niggas äger deras egna hus
Vårat var, "Fuck you, betala mig"
Nu är det, "Fuck betala mig, jag betalar dig
Lägg bort resten till Blue"
Blodpengarna jag fnissar åt det
Kan inte ens stödja min frus vanor
Smycke-shopping i Pa- alla era smycken borde skäms
Huh, bloddiamanter droppar med skuld, jag förlorar fortfarande inte
Det är livet, vinnare och förlorare
Droglangare och missbrukare, Amerika gillar mig vårdslös
Min terapeut sa jag har ett återfall
Jag sa, "Kanske jag Freudian halkade i europeiska bilar"
Gud skickade mig för att bryta kedjan, jag sanningen och lever
Gud levande, resten av dessa niggas är fåfängt
En fläck på den vita kostymen, sämre IQ
Niggas kommer ta din skit av TIDAL bara för att irritera dig
Ahhh, vad har jag gjort? Förutom försöka fria dig
Niggas kommer älska dig men hatar dig för de kan inte vara dig
Dumpa de alla i träsket, uh
Alla vinkar hej då till killen du trodde du kunde ljuga för
Det här var menat att vara en haiku, huh
Men min historia för bred för att få plats i en rad eller två
Oh, dessa som droger, heron flow, jag är bäst på spisen
Det här är Hov, ingen flex zon, nigga, vem ljög för dig?
Kolla, du en fotgängare, ifrågasätt inte säkerheten jag gav dig
Oh ni trodde jag var tvättad? Jag är hoes städarna
Tvättar smutsiga pengar som Teamsters, huh
Shout out till Hoffa hemma, han i kyrkan
När jag hörde du blev bokad, den skiten gjorde ont
Jag led för dig bror, vi vet systemet inte funkar
Tar en ung niggas frihet över lite smuts
Fortfarande är det lagligt i Colorado, fortfarande, förnekar vi
Svarta entreprenörer, gratis företag
Det är varför det är en svart marknad, det är varför det kallas trap
Det är varför det kallas projekten för det är exakt det
Alla dessa människor skulle döda mig, heh
För ju mer jag avslöjar mig, ju mer är de rädda för den riktiga jag
Välkommen tillbaka Carter, le

[Outro: Gloria Carter]
Att leva i skuggan
Kan du föreställa dig vilken typ av liv det är att leva?
I skuggorna ser folk dig som glad och fri
För det är vad du vill att de ska se
Lever två liv, lycklig, men inte fri
Du lever i skuggan av rädsla för att någon ska skada din familj eller personen du älskar
Världen förändras och de säger att det är dags att bli fri
Men du lever med rädslan att bara vara jag
Att leva i skuggan känns som den trygga platsen att vara på
Ingen skada för dem, ingen skada för mig
Men livet är kort, och det är dags att vara fri
Älska den du älskar, för livet är inte garanterat
Le

Ora è, "Fanculo pagarmi, ti pago
Put the rest away for Blue"
Metti via il resto per Blue"
That blood money, I giggle at it
Quel denaro sporco di sangue, ne rido
Can't even support my missus' habit
Non riesco nemmeno a sostenere l'abitudine della mia signora
Jewelry shoppin' in Paris
Shopping di gioielli a Parigi
All y'all jewelers should be embarrassed, huh
Tutti voi gioiellieri dovreste vergognarvi, eh
Blood diamonds drippin', we cute
Diamanti di sangue che gocciolano, siamo carini
I still ain't trippin', that's life, winners and losers, huh
Non sto ancora inciampando, questa è la vita, vincitori e perditori, eh
Drug dealers and abusers, America like me ruthless
Spacciatori di droga e abusatori, l'America mi vuole spietato
My therapist said I relapsed
Il mio terapeuta ha detto che ho avuto una ricaduta
I said, "Prehaps I Freudian slipped in European whips"
Ho detto, "Forse ho fatto uno scivolone freudiano nelle auto europee"
God sent me to break the chain
Dio mi ha mandato a spezzare la catena
I'm the true and livin'
Sono il vero e vivente
God in the flesh, the rest of these niggas is vain
Dio in carne e ossa, il resto di questi niggas è vano
A stain on the white suit, inferior IQ
Una macchia sul completo bianco, IQ inferiore
Niggas'll rip your shit off TIDAL just to spite you
I niggas strapperanno la tua merda da TIDAL solo per dispetto
Ahhhh, what did I do?
Ahhhh, cosa ho fatto?
'Cept try to free you
Tranne cercare di liberarti
Niggas'll love you but hate you 'cause they can't be you
I niggas ti ameranno ma ti odieranno perché non possono essere te
Dump 'em all in the bayou, uh
Scaricali tutti nel bayou, eh
Everybody wave bye to the guy you thought you can lie to
Tutti salutano l'addio al ragazzo a cui pensavi di poter mentire
This was meant to be a haiku, huh
Questo doveva essere un haiku, eh
But my story's too wide to fit inside the line
Ma la mia storia è troppo ampia per stare dentro la riga
And too old, these that drugs
E troppo vecchio, queste sono droghe
Heroin flow, I spaz on the stove
Flusso di eroina, mi agito sulla stufa
This is Hov, no flex zone, nigga, who lied to you?
Questo è Hov, no flex zone, nigga, chi ti ha mentito?
Look, you a pedestrian
Guarda, sei un pedone
Don't ever question the security I provided you
Non mettere mai in discussione la sicurezza che ti ho fornito
Oh y'all thought I was washed?
Oh, pensavate che fossi lavato?
I'm at the cleaners
Sono alla lavanderia
Launderin' dirty money like the teamsters, huh
Lavando denaro sporco come i sindacati, eh
Shout out to Hoffa back home, he in the church
Saluti a Hoffa a casa, lui è in chiesa
When I heard you got booked, that shit hurt
Quando ho sentito che sei stato prenotato, quella merda ha fatto male
Fear for you, bro, we know the system don't work
Paura per te, fratello, sappiamo che il sistema non funziona
Take a young nigga freedom over some dirt
Prendi la libertà di un giovane nigga per un po' di sporco
Yet it's legal in Colorado
Eppure è legale in Colorado
Yeah, we deny
Sì, neghiamo
Black entrepreneurs, free enterprise
Imprenditori neri, libera impresa
That's why it's a black market, that's why it's called the trap
Ecco perché c'è un mercato nero, ecco perché si chiama trappola
That's why it's called the project 'cause it's exactly that
Ecco perché si chiama progetto perché è esattamente quello
All these people was gon' kill me, heh
Tutte queste persone stavano per uccidermi, eh
'Cause the more I reveal me, the more they 'fraid of the real me
Perché più mi rivelavo, più avevano paura del vero me
Welcome back Carter, smile
Bentornato Carter, sorridi
Living in the shadow
Vivere nell'ombra
Can you imagine what kind of life it is to live?
Puoi immaginare che tipo di vita sia vivere?
In the shadows people see you as happy and free
Nell'ombra le persone ti vedono felice e libero
Because that's what you want them to see
Perché è quello che vuoi che vedano
Living two lives, happy, but not free
Vivere due vite, felice, ma non libero
You live in the shadows for fear of someone hurting your family or the person you love
Vivi nell'ombra per paura che qualcuno faccia del male alla tua famiglia o alla persona che ami
The world is changing and they say it's time to be free
Il mondo sta cambiando e dicono che è ora di essere liberi
But you live with the fear of just being me
Ma vivi con la paura di essere solo te stesso
Living in the shadow feels like the safe place to be
Vivere nell'ombra sembra il posto sicuro dove stare
No harm for them, no harm for me
Nessun danno per loro, nessun danno per me
But life is short, and it's time to be free
Ma la vita è breve, ed è ora di essere liberi
Love who you love, because life isn't guaranteed
Ama chi ami, perché la vita non è garantita
Smile
Sorridi

[Giriş: JAY-Z & Stevie Wonder]
Günaydın veya iyi akşamlar, dostlar
Gülümse, kaydediyor musun?

[Kısım 1: JAY-Z]
Bentley kapılarını sertçe kapatıyoruz, sanki kapıları biz yapmışız gibi
20 yıl önce Bentley Azures sürerdik
O zamanlar Cristal içerdik
Evet, tepsiyi tutardım aynı Chris Paul gibi
Şimdi codeine içermiş gibi Ace of Spades içerdik
Şimdi tüm ekibimi milyoner etmeye çalışıyorum
Acıyı ileri ittir ve yeni bir yaşam ortaya çıksın
Tüm hanımlar bebek sahibi oluyor, görüşürüz fedakarlığım
Annemin dört çocuğu var, ama lezbiyen
Numara yaptığını uzun süre saklamak zorunda kaldı
Klozette saklanması gerekti, meditasyon yapmak için
Toplumun aşağılaması ve acıları kaldırmak çok zor
Aşık olduğumda sevinçten ağladı
Erkek veya kadın onun için fark etmezdi
Tüm bu nefretlerin arasında gülümseyişini görmek istiyorum
Marie, Antoinette, bebeğim, bırak pasta yesinler

[Nakarat: JAY-Z & Stevie Wonder]
Kötü zamanlar güzel anılara döner, gülümse
Ben gidersem ve beni hatırlarsan, gülümse
Güzel günler asla yok olmaz, gülümse
Bugün seninle olmasan da, gülümse
Günaydın veya iyi akşamlar, dostlar
Gülümse
Size dostane bir duyuru
Gülümse

[Kısım 2: JAY-Z]
Sanki oylamadayım, adımı okumadılar
İddia ediyorum gitmeden önce masaya 1 milyar koyacağım
Hov onur listesinde, kalemim bile yokken yaptım bunu
Bunun olacağını biliyordunuz, hepinize hatırlatmam lazım, değil mi?
Blokların üstüne uçan kağıttan uçaklar
Şimdi tüm blok jetimin camında
Şimdi gerçek yaşam tam önünde
Hepiniz bir program yayınladınız
Bomba gerçekler
Zenciler taraf değiştirdi, din tüccarlığı yaptı, biz bunları yapmayız
Kayıp kayıp değildir, bir derstir
Acıya şükret, acı kutsaldır

[Nakarat: JAY-Z & Stevie Wonder]
Kötü zamanlar güzel anılara döner, gülümse
Ben gidersem ve beni hatırlarsan, gülümse
Güzel günler asla yok olmaz, gülümse
Bugün seninle olmasan da, gülümse
Günaydın veya iyi akşamlar, dostlar

[Kısım 3: JAY-Z]
Estetik yeteneklerimde ustalaştım
Biliyorum beni çok kez coşkuyla okurken duydunuz
Lexus'a dönmek hakkında ise
Güven bana, bir zencinin ona binmesi hiçbir şey
100 milyonlar, tavan hep açık
Ah, şu his, ben o adam oldum
Anite Baker'ın "You Bring Me Joy" parçası arabadan dışarı patlıyor
Dikiz aynamdan ayrımı yapmak çok kolay
Objeler olduklarından da fazlalarıdır
Oh evet, hep çifte denk geldi, ortaya çok para koydum
Jetin camından Norman's Cay'e baktı
Zenciler nasıl anlamaz?
Elmalı pastadan payı sikeyim, ben kendi pastamı istiyorum
Kendi kaderimle, Jimmy lovine'e saygılar
Ama Tanrıya yeni bir rejim içinde şükredecek
Ve zenciler güç için çabalıyorlar, huh
Bizim müziğimiz bizimdir, zencilerin kendi evleri var
Eskiden "Siktir git, paranı öde"
Şimdi ise "Siktir et ödeme, ben sana öderim
Kalanını Blue için kenara koy"
Şu güldüğüm para kanlı paradır
Eski hobilerimi bile destekleyemem
Mücevherat alıyorsunuz da, hepiniz utanmalısınız
Kanlı elmaslar suçlulukla havalı oldu, ben hala hava falan atmıyorum
İşte hayat budur, kazananlar ve kaybedenler
Torbacılar ve İstismarcılar, Amerika sever kalpsiz beni
Terapistim yine boka sardığımı söyledi
Ben de "Belki yanlışıkla Avrupai zincileri kırmışımdır" dedim
Tanrı beni zincirleri kırayım diye yolladı, ben gerçeğim ve capcanlıyım
Tanrı benle ete kemiğe büründü, siz hala işe yaramazsınız
Beyaz takım elbisede varsa başka renk, derler düşük IQ'lu
Zenciler sırf sizi üzmek için TIDAL ile mahvedecek sizi
Ahhhh, ne yaptım ben? Bedava denemene izin verdim
Zenciler hem seni sever hem nefret eder, çünkü sen olamaz onlar
Hepsini çöp gibi nehre boşlat gitsin, uh
Herkes yalan söyleyebileceğini düşündüğün elamanın yanından el sallar
Bunun haiku olması lazımdı, uh
Fakat benim hikayem bir iki bara sığamaz, çok geniş
Ah, şu uyuşturucular, heroinler, tüttürdüm ve aptal oldum
Karşınızda Hov, burada hava atamazsın zenci, kim sana yalan söyledi?
Bak, sen bir yayasın, sana sağladığım güvenliği sorgulama bile
Ah hepiniz temizlendiğimi mi düşündünüz? Ben temizlikçideyim
Kamyonlarla dolu kirli paramı temizlettiriyorum, uh
Hoffa'ya da selam olsun, kendisi kilisede
Tutuklandığını duyduğumda cidden canımı yaktı
Seni anlıyorum kanka, sistem bozuk biliyoruz
Birkaç pislik için genç zenciyi özgürlükten alıkoyarlar
Colorado'da legal olmasına rağmen, inkar ettik
Siyahi girişimci, bedava yatırım
Bu yüzden ona kara market derler, bu yüzden ona tuzak derler
Bu yüzden mahallelere projeler derler çünkü kelimenin tam anlamıyla o
Tüm bu insanlar beni öldürecekti, heh
Çünkü ne kadar kendimi ortaya çıkarırsam, o kadar benden tırsarlar
Tekrar hoşgeldin Carter, gülümse

[Kapanış: Gloria Carter]
Gölgede yaşamak
Sence yaşanır mı böyle bir hayat?
Gölgelerde insanlar seni mutlu ve özgür görür
Çünkü onların görmesini istediğin şey tam da budur
İki adet yaşamın var, mutlu, ama özgür değil
Ailene veya sevdiğine zarar verecek birileri için gölgelerin içinde yaşıyorsun
Devir değişiyor ve diyorlar ki, vakit özgürlük vaktidir
Fakat sen ise ben olmanın korkusu içerisindesin
Gölgelerde yaşamak güvenli bir yerde olduğunu hissettirir
Ne kendine zarar, ne de başkasına
Fakat hayat kısa ve vakit özgürlük vaktidir
Kimi seveceksen sev, çünkü hayatın garantisi yok
Gülümse
