Tired of hittin' stores and seein' shit that I can't buy
Gotta get rich up in this bitch, on my nephew Mekhi

Cool as a Klondike with frostbite next to a Slurpee (slurpee)
Prison push-ups for your pecs and next it was burpees (burpees)
And when you flex, you could set a cup on your chest
Plus, you had women of every shade showin' interest
But I guess that your preference was Hershey (hershey)
You and my mama was a mess, you both met on the church scene (yeah)
What happened next had preacher and singer beggin' for mercy
Three sons in three years, hot damn, get my mom off the gurney
Calm off the ganja, but in the eighties they gave us guns and a drug meant to spawn our destruction
They locked you up for robbin' Peter, so Paul give you substance
It was all in God's plan 'cause Sir Davion and Dan got accustomed to ruckus, fear no man
Hear no evil, take your chance
Shoot your shot, and if they talkin' shit, take off
And if you fightin', try not to get caught
And if they catch you, don't say shit 'bout who you wit' because you might get off
It's a cold, cold world waitin' for you, black boy (boy)
But you stay optimistic and loyal, ask for (for)
Exactly what you want and God'll give it to you
I done my time and now it's yours, I'm 'bout to live it through you

Won't leave you like my daddy did
When I came home, the most important thing to me was to be a father to my sons
Uh, I did also feel I had a unrepayable debt to my wife for holdin' on
For not replacing me, you know, not lettin' my sons call another man daddy
And so even being good to them is being good to her
Uh, I enjoy the fact that, you know, we made a mutual decision for me to stay home with the boys
And, um, she was free to pursue her career
In music, you know, that year she sang with, with Michael Jackson
Uh, Gladys Knight, you know, a lot of the OG, uh, singers and stuff
And she did well, she even made a, a M&M's commercial that we lived off of
With the royalties and stuff
But that was the thing, I, I needed to fulfill that promise
That I wouldn't abandon my sons like I got abandoned
Yeah, uh
Sì, uh
Suit and tie, I'm super fly
Vestito e cravatta, sono super figo
Step me down, there's plenty you and I
Calpesta me, c'è molto di te e io
Tired of hittin' stores and seein' shit that I can't buy
Stanco di entrare nei negozi e vedere roba che non posso comprare
Gotta get rich up in this bitch, on my nephew Mekhi
Devo arricchirmi in questa cagna, per mio nipote Mekhi
The common experience of the masses is havin' to work for
L'esperienza comune delle masse è dover lavorare per
Everything that you get, you purchase with hurt feelings
Tutto quello che ottieni, lo compri con sentimenti feriti
Even when you hit ceilings, you deserve more
Anche quando raggiungi i limiti, meriti di più
Until we get it, we just work more
Fino a quando non lo otteniamo, lavoriamo solo di più

'Cause of you, I always tie my ties in a double Windsor
Grazie a te, lego sempre le mie cravatte con un doppio Windsor
We was just some ninjas in the wood, you Master Splinter
Eravamo solo dei ninja nel bosco, tu Maestro Splinter
Thought I could get away wit', you caught me masturbatin'
Pensavo di poterla fare, mi hai beccato a masturbarmi
Didn't get mad, you just laughed and helped me master datin'
Non ti sei arrabbiato, hai solo riso e mi hai aiutato a diventare un esperto di appuntamenti
All the game you gave 'em helped, that boy go slay 'em, though
Tutto il gioco che hai dato ha aiutato, quel ragazzo li ha sconfitti, però
That reputation as a player, ho, start layin' low
Quella reputazione da giocatore, ho, inizia a stare basso
Kamehameha, you was Goku, Super Saiyan, pro
Kamehameha, tu eri Goku, Super Saiyan, pro
And I'm just trainin' to be just like you one day and more
E io mi sto solo allenando per essere come te un giorno e di più
I'm grinding like my daddy, shining like my daddy
Sto lavorando duro come mio padre, brillando come mio padre
Rolling in a Caddy

Vacuum cleaner, I'll smack you if you miss it
Aspirapolvere, ti schiaffeggerò se lo perdi
Coachin', teachin', hopin' that we get it
Allenando, insegnando, sperando che lo capiamo
Locked up for that rock stuff, we was livin'
Arrestato per quella roba di roccia, stavamo vivendo
Say somethin' 'bout him, you get socked up from his children
Dì qualcosa su di lui, ti prendi un pugno dai suoi figli
Cool as a Klondike with frostbite next to a Slurpee (slurpee)
Fresco come un Klondike con congelamento accanto a uno Slurpee (slurpee)
Prison push-ups for your pecs and next it was burpees (burpees)
Flessioni in prigione per i tuoi pettorali e poi erano burpees (burpees)
And when you flex, you could set a cup on your chest
E quando ti fletti, potresti mettere una tazza sul tuo petto
Plus, you had women of every shade showin' interest
Inoltre, avevi donne di ogni tonalità che mostravano interesse
But I guess that your preference was Hershey (hershey)
Ma immagino che la tua preferenza fosse Hershey (hershey)
You and my mama was a mess, you both met on the church scene (yeah)
Tu e mia mamma eravate un disastro, vi siete conosciuti in chiesa (sì)
What happened next had preacher and singer beggin' for mercy
Quello che è successo dopo ha fatto implorare il predicatore e il cantante per pietà
Three sons in three years, hot damn, get my mom off the gurney
Tre figli in tre anni, accidenti, togli mia madre dalla barella
Calm off the ganja, but in the eighties they gave us guns and a drug meant to spawn our destruction
Calmo con la ganja, ma negli anni '80 ci hanno dato armi e una droga destinata a generare la nostra distruzione
They locked you up for robbin' Peter, so Paul give you substance
Ti hanno arrestato per aver derubato Pietro, così Paolo ti dà sostanza
It was all in God's plan 'cause Sir Davion and Dan got accustomed to ruckus, fear no man
Era tutto nel piano di Dio perché Sir Davion e Dan si sono abituati al caos, non temono nessun uomo
Hear no evil, take your chance
Non sentire il male, cogli la tua occasione
Shoot your shot, and if they talkin' shit, take off
Fai la tua mossa, e se parlano merda, scappa
And if you fightin', try not to get caught
E se stai combattendo, cerca di non farti prendere
And if they catch you, don't say shit 'bout who you wit' because you might get off
E se ti prendono, non dire una parola su chi sei perché potresti cavartela
It's a cold, cold world waitin' for you, black boy (boy)
È un mondo freddo, freddo che ti aspetta, ragazzo nero (ragazzo)
But you stay optimistic and loyal, ask for (for)
Ma tu rimani ottimista e leale, chiedi (per)
Exactly what you want and God'll give it to you
Esattamente quello che vuoi e Dio te lo darà
I done my time and now it's yours, I'm 'bout to live it through you
Ho fatto il mio tempo e ora è il tuo, sto per viverlo attraverso di te

Perché io sono tuo padre, sono orgoglioso di essere tuo padre
I'll always be your daddy
Sarò sempre tuo padre

Arriverò in una Caddy

Sì, io sono tuo padre, sono orgoglioso di essere tuo padre
Won't leave you like my daddy did
Non ti lascerò come mio padre ha fatto
When I came home, the most important thing to me was to be a father to my sons
Quando sono tornato a casa, la cosa più importante per me era essere un padre per i miei figli
Uh, I did also feel I had a unrepayable debt to my wife for holdin' on
Uh, ho anche sentito di avere un debito irrimediabile con mia moglie per aver resistito
For not replacing me, you know, not lettin' my sons call another man daddy
Per non avermi sostituito, sai, non aver lasciato che i miei figli chiamassero un altro uomo papà
And so even being good to them is being good to her
E quindi anche essere buono con loro è essere buono con lei
Uh, I enjoy the fact that, you know, we made a mutual decision for me to stay home with the boys
Uh, mi piace il fatto che, sai, abbiamo preso una decisione reciproca per me di stare a casa con i ragazzi
And, um, she was free to pursue her career
E, um, lei era libera di perseguire la sua carriera
In music, you know, that year she sang with, with Michael Jackson
Nella musica, sai, quell'anno ha cantato con, con Michael Jackson
Uh, Gladys Knight, you know, a lot of the OG, uh, singers and stuff
Uh, Gladys Knight, sai, molti dei cantanti OG, uh
And she did well, she even made a, a M&M's commercial that we lived off of
E lei ha fatto bene, ha anche fatto un, un spot per M&M's da cui abbiamo vissuto
With the royalties and stuff
Con i diritti d'autore e roba
But that was the thing, I, I needed to fulfill that promise
Ma quella era la cosa, io, io dovevo mantenere quella promessa
That I wouldn't abandon my sons like I got abandoned
Che non avrei abbandonato i miei figli come sono stato abbandonato io
Yeah, uh
Yeah, uh
Suit and tie, I'm super fly
Terno e gravata, estou muito estiloso
Step me down, there's plenty you and I
