It gave me no release to hope for peace, we postal now
Over East, corroded sheet metal, my toe just found
He let it go, brodie left the heat on the coldest ground
To wrap around the wound unwound
I poured the bruise blood into the sound (let some of the bruise blood come out)
Stole the crown, grew out of poster child
Serve a few once I stir the stew on the stove around
If you hit the county, you better hold it down
Grab the bounty, left him on Downey, screamin' on the ground
Cup runnin' over, son of Ramona, her poster child
The coast is clear, they wanna act La Cosa Nostra now
When we was there, they toned it down, how I'm supposed to smile?
When cheese attract the rats, police attachin' facts
They ain't PC, they just trustees, I had to laugh at that

Okay
Actually, what is the message you want to give to transmit to the public, to our listeners?
Well, I always feel that even though one is an artist
That we are first human beings and we live in the same world as any other person
So that we as artists should never close our eyes to what is happening around us
And the songs that I sing are just about my everyday life
And, uh, the things I say are those things that have affected my life
It gave me no release to hope for peace, we postal now
Non mi ha dato alcun sollievo sperare per la pace, ora siamo postali
Over East, corroded sheet metal, my toe just found
Oltre l'Est, lamiera arrugginita, il mio dito del piede ha appena trovato
He let it go, brodie left the heat on the coldest ground
L'ha lasciato andare, Brodie ha lasciato il calore sul terreno più freddo
To wrap around the wound unwound
Per avvolgere la ferita srotolata
I poured the bruise blood into the sound (let some of the bruise blood come out)
Ho versato il sangue dell'ematoma nel suono (lascia uscire un po' del sangue dell'ematoma)
Stole the crown, grew out of poster child
Ho rubato la corona, sono cresciuto fuori dal bambino manifesto
Serve a few once I stir the stew on the stove around
Servo alcuni una volta che mescolo lo stufato sulla stufa
If you hit the county, you better hold it down
Se colpisci la contea, è meglio che la tieni a bada
Grab the bounty, left him on Downey, screamin' on the ground
Prendi la taglia, l'ho lasciato su Downey, urlando a terra

Ho dato al vischio un'etichetta
I know his clique'll crash, my bro gon' rinse his filthy hands
So che il suo gruppo si schianterà, mio fratello si risciacquerà le mani sporche
Show 'em what you got and I can't promise he won't pilfer that
Mostra loro quello che hai e non posso promettere che non lo ruberà
Slow your roll, I promise you not built for that
Rallenta, ti prometto che non sei fatto per quello

The kid lost his collar then
Il ragazzo ha perso il suo collare allora
Death be scraped up off all the chips
La morte è stata raschiata via da tutte le fiches
And left a trail of frowning faces and shakin' powdered wigs
E ha lasciato una scia di facce accigliate e parrucche in polvere che tremano
Tell 'em blame it on my wrist, it's steady as a scalpel's
Dì loro di incolpare il mio polso, è stabile come un bisturi
Tell 'em I'ma face a thousand spliffs
Dì loro che affronterò mille canne
The test of faith, I pass the quiz
Il test di fede, ho passato il quiz

Tatsächlich, welche Botschaft möchten Sie an die Öffentlichkeit, an unsere Zuhörer, übermitteln?
Well, I always feel that even though one is an artist
Nun, ich habe immer das Gefühl, dass man, obwohl man Künstler ist
That we are first human beings and we live in the same world as any other person
Dass wir zuerst Menschen sind und in der gleichen Welt leben wie jede andere Person
So that we as artists should never close our eyes to what is happening around us
So dass wir als Künstler nie unsere Augen vor dem verschließen sollten, was um uns herum passiert
And the songs that I sing are just about my everyday life
Und die Lieder, die ich singe, handeln einfach von meinem Alltag
And, uh, the things I say are those things that have affected my life
Und, äh, die Dinge, die ich sage, sind die Dinge, die mein Leben beeinflusst haben.
