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
Non è niente che voglio di più
Ain't nothing I want more
Non c'è niente che voglio di più
I ain't c-
Io non sono c-
I told you, when I first came here, I said, "I ain't come here to waste my time"
Te l'ho detto, quando sono venuto al prima volta, ho detto: "Non sono venuto qui per sprecare il mio tempo"
I came here
Sono venuto qui
They gave us a chance to get in, like we asked for
Ci hanno dato la possibilità di entrare, come avevamo chiesto
And that's, that's what we here to do
E questo, questo è ciò che dobbiamo fare qui
(Yeah, nigga, 26)
(Sì, amico, 26)
The job still ain't done
Il lavoro non è ancora finito
(Straight up)
(Dritto)
But I, I said, "You, you know what I'm here for"
Ma io, ho detto: "Tu, sai per cosa sono qui"
Back on top, punchin' the clock, clutchin' sanity
Torna in cima, premendo l'orologio, stringendo la sanità mentale
I got more cribs than Habitat for Humanity

Paid off collections from recollections of calamity (oh shit, look, that nigga gonna shoot)
Ho pagato le collezioni dai ricordi di calamità (oh merda, guarda, quel tizio sparerà)
The shit pop off, I learned to duck under the canopy (oh shit, run, nigga, run)
La merda è saltata fuori, ho imparato a nascondermi sotto il baldacchino (oh merda, corri, amico, corri)
'Til it cool off, they murked a nigga right in front of me
Finché non si è raffreddato, hanno ucciso un tizio proprio di fronte a me
Told him to come off his chain for tryna floss
Gli ho detto di staccarsi dalla catena per provare il filo interdentale
Died over a cross just like the start of Christianity
Morì per una croce proprio come l'inizio del Cristianesimo
When I was a boy, the teacher often reprimanded me (Jermaine)
Quando ero un ragazzo, l'insegnante mi ha spesso rimproverato (Jermaine)
Thought it was toys, it was a Glock this nigga handed me
Pensavo fossero giocattoli, era una Glock che questo tizio mi ha consegnato
I busted the trees, was barely strong enough to squeeze
Ho rotto gli alberi, ero a malapena abbastanza forte da spremere
Bullets traveled through leaves, it probably killed somebody randomly
I proiettili hanno attraversato le foglie, probabilmente hanno ucciso qualcuno a caso
Ran in the crib and played it off amongst the family
Sono corso a casa e ho giocato con la famiglia
Nightmare scenes, the police finally apprehended me
Scene da incubo, la polizia mi ha finalmente arrestato
Woke up screamin', seen a demon had his hand on me
Mi sono svegliato urlando, ho visto un demone che aveva la sua mano su di me
Still sport the scar on my arm from where he branded me
Ho ancora la cicatrice sul braccio da dove mi ha marchiato
Like a Que Dog, my niggas burnin' with the mute off
Come un Que Dog, i miei bruciano con il muto spento
Loud pack smoke through the cracks, I catch a contact
Fumo forte del pacchetto attraverso le fessure, prendo un contatto
Triggerin' a paranoid mindset, now I'm back
Innescando una mentalità paranoica, ora sono tornato
Teeterin' between enlightened and insanity
In bilico tra l'illuminato e la follia
Now that I'm rich, I feel nobody understandin' me
Ora che sono ricco, sento che nessuno mi capisce
All I can do is cut the mic on, holler at you
Tutto quello che posso fare è accendere il microfono, gridare a te
Can't let the fame scare me off from speaking candidly
Non posso lasciare che la fama mi spaventi dal parlare candidamente
All them niggas is so Kane, they started singin' like Danity
Tutti quei negri sono così Kane, hanno iniziato a cantare come Danity
Now I'm left here, paid like I planned to be, damn
Ora sono lasciato qui, pagato come avevo programmato di essere, dannazione
A lot of times, those situations are, um, are handled way before the time comes
Molte volte, quelle situazioni sono, um, vengono gestite molto prima che arrivi il momento
In the summer, I think when you truly prepare yourself, and
In estate, penso che quando ti prepari veramente, e
With training and conditioning, and things like that
Con allenamento e condizionamento e cose del genere
When you cheat yourself, you fail in those moments
Quando ti inganni, fallisci in quei momenti
You know, you crash, and when you really put the time in and
Sai, ti schianti, e quando ci metti davvero del tempo e
Whether people see it, or whether people know it or not
Se le persone lo vedono, o se le persone lo sanno o no

Correu pra casa e jogou com a família
Nightmare scenes, the police finally apprehended me

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
