I done did dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed
Swear I've been baptized each three or four times

Its goin' take a lot more than coupons to get us saved
Like it take a lot more than du-rags to get you waves
Nothing sad as that day my girl father past away
So I promised to Mr. Rainey I'm gonna marry your daughter
And you know I gotta thank you for the way that she was brought up
And I know that you was smiling when you seen the car I bought her
And you sent tears from heaven when you seen my car get balled up
But I can't complain what the accident did to my left eye

My spirit is a part of this that's why I get spiritual
But I get my hymns from Him
So it's not me it's He that's lyrical
I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven sent instrument
My rhythmatic regiment navigates melodic notes
For your soul and your mental
That's why I'm instrumental, vibrations is what I'm into
Yeah I need my loot by rent day
But that ain't what gives me the heart of Kunta Kinte
I'm tryin' to give us us free like Sinke
I can't stop, that's why I'm hot
Determination, dedication, motivation
I'm talking to you of my many inspirations
When I say I can't let you or self down
If I were on the highest cliff, on the highest riff
And you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life
In my grip I would never ever let you down
And when these words are found
Let it be known that God's penmanship has been signed
With a language called love
That's why my breath is felt by the death
And while my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
I too dream in color and in rhyme
So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house
'Cause whenever I open my heart, my soul or my mouth
A touch of God reigns out
When it comes to being true, at least true to me
One thing I found, one thing I found
Oh no you never let me down

[Estribillo]
Cuando se trata de ser verdad, al menos hay verdad para mí
Una cosa que encontré, una cosa que encontré
Oh no, nunca me decepcionarás
Levántate, me bajo, levántate, me bajo
Levántate, me bajo, levántate, me bajo
Levántate, me bajo, levántate, me bajo
[Verso 1: Jay-Z]
Yo, primero arrebaté las calles, luego arrebaté las listas
Primero tuve la oreja, ahora tengo el corazón
Los raperos iban y vеnían, he estado aquí desdе el principio
Los vi armarlos, los vi desarmarlos
He visto a los Rovers enrollarse con cintas
Los vi re-poniendolos, re-vendiendolos, luego re-conduciendolos
Entonces, cuando recargo, ocupa la posición número uno
Cuando estás caliente, estoy caliente
Y cuando tus pies están fríos, los míos están chisporroteando
Es fácil de ver, los negros no pueden joderme
Porque seré ese negro de por vida
Esto no es una imagen, esto es un regalo de Dios
Esto es una vida dura, mezclada con sorbos de Cristal
Es el más consistente, Hov
Darle la mayor cantidad de éxitos que pueda caber dentro de un disco completo y
Negro, estoy en casa en estas listas, todos los negros nos visitan
Es tradición de Hov, Jeff Gordon del rap
Estoy de vuelta para reclamar la posición del pole, mucho a tu chico
[Estribillo]
Cuando se trata de ser verdad, al menos hay verdad para mí
Una cosa que encontré, una cosa que encontré
Oh no, nunca me decepcionarás
Levántate, me bajo, levántate, me bajo
Levántate, me bajo, levántate, me bajo
Levántate, me bajo, levántate
[Verso 2: Kanye West]
Me deprimo por mi abuelo que se llevó a mi mamá
La hizo sentarse en ese asiento donde los blancos no quieren que comamos
A la tierna edad de 6 años fue detenida por los plantones
Y con eso en mi sangre nací para ser diferente
Ahora los negros no pueden llegar a las votaciones para elegir el liderazgo
Pero podemos llegar a Jacob's y al concesionario
Es por eso que escucho música nueva y simplemente no la siento
El racismo sigue vivo, solo lo ocultan
Pero sé que no me quieren en el maldito club
Incluso me hicieron mostrar una identificación para entrar a Sam’s Club
Terminé de ensuciarme y fui a la iglesia para que me lavaran las manos
Juro que he sido bautizado por lo menos tres o cuatro veces
Pero en la tierra donde los negros elogian a Yukons y les pagan
Va a hacer falta mucho más que cupones para salvarnos
Me gusta que se necesite mucho más que trapos para hacerte olas
Nada es triste como ese día, falleció el padre de mi chica
Así que le prometí al Sr. Rainey que me casaré con su hija
Y sabes que tengo que agradecerte por la forma en que la criaron
Y sé que sonreías al ver el auto que le compré
Enviaste lágrimas desde el cielo cuando viste que mi auto se hizo una bola
Pero no puedo quejarme de lo que el accidente le hizo a mi ojo izquierdo
Porque mira lo que le hizo un accidente al ojo izquierdo
Primero Aaliyah ahora Romeo debe morir
Sé que tengo ángeles mirándome desde el otro lado
[Estribillo]
Cuando se trata de ser verdad, al menos hay verdad para mí
Una cosa que encontré, una cosa que encontré
Oh no, nunca me decepcionarás
Levántate, me bajo, levántate, me bajo
Levántate, me bajo, levántate, me bajo
Levántate, me bajo, levántate, me bajo
[Verso 3: J. Ivy]
Todos estamos aquí por una razón en un camino particular
No necesitas un plan de estudios para saber que eres parte de las matemáticas
Los gatos piensan que estoy delirando, pero lo digo en serio
Por eso expongo mi alma al globo; el mundo
Estoy tratando de hacerlo mejor para estos niños y niñas
No soy solo otro individuo
Mi espíritu es parte de esto por eso me vuelvo espiritual
Pero recibo mis himnos de Él
Así que no soy yo, es Él el que es lírico
No soy un milagro, soy un instrumento enviado por el cielo
Mi regimiento rítmico navega notas melódicas
Para tu alma y tu mente
Es por eso que soy un instrumental, las vibraciones son lo que me gusta
Sí, necesito mi botín por día de alquiler
Pero eso no es lo que me da el corazón de Kunta Kinte
Estoy tratando de "liberarnos" como Cinque
No puedo parar, por eso estoy caliente
Determinación, dedicación, motivación
Te hablo de mis muchas inspiraciones
Cuando digo que no puedo dejarte o deprimirte
Si estuviera en el acantilado más alto, en el riff más alto
Y si te deslizaste por el costado y te aferraste a tu vida
En mi agarre, nunca te decepcionaría
Y cuando estas palabras se encuentran
Que se sepa que la caligrafía de Dios ha sido firmada
Con un lenguaje llamado amor
Por eso mi aliento lo sienten los sordos
Y mientras mis palabras son escuchadas y confinadas a los oídos de los ciegos
Yo también sueño en color y en rima
Así que supongo que soy único en una casa llena
Porque cada vez que abro mi corazón, mi alma o mi boca
Un toque de Dios reina
Llévalos a la iglesia
[Estribillo]
Cuando se trata de ser verdad, al menos hay verdad para mí
Una cosa que encontré, una cosa que encontré
Oh no, nunca me decepcionarás
Levántate, me, levántate, me
Levántate, me, levántate, me
Levántate, me, levántate, me bajo
[Verso 4: Jay-Z & Kanye West]
¿A quién más conoces que ha estado caliente tanto tiempo?
(Oh, sí, no hemos terminado)
Comenzó de la nada, pero se hizo tan fuerte
(The Roc está en el beat)
Roc lo desarrolló a partir de un guijarro, una roca vendida antes de conocerte
Bicicletas de pedales, compré bicicletas de pedales para mis sobrinos porque son especiales (Wooooo)
Deja que lo digas, hombre, me estoy cayendo
Bueno, alguien debe haberlo atrapado
Porque cada cuarto trimestre, me gusta los Mike Jordan de ellos
Álbumes número uno, ¿qué tengo? como cuatro de ellos
Más de ellos en camino, la octava maravilla en camino
Despeja el camino, estoy aquí para quedarme
Todos pueden guardar el chat chirrido, esto y aquello
Este es Jay, insultar a Jay te hará machacar
Cuando empiezo a tirarles letras, los negros se vuelven muy religiosos
Seis Avemarías, 'Por favor, Padre, perdónanos'
Young el arzobispo, el Papa Juan Pablo de todos tus negros
La forma en que todos siguen a Jigga
Hov es una leyenda viviente y te diré por qué
Todo el mundo quiere ser Hov y Hov todavía está vivo
When it comes to being true, at least true to me
Cuando se trata de ser verdadero, al menos verdadero para mí
One thing I found, one thing I found
Una cosa encontré, una cosa encontré
Oh no you never let me down

Yo, first I snatched the streets then I snatched the charts
Yo, primero conquisté las calles, luego conquisté las listas
First I had they ear, now I have they heart
Primero tuve su oído, ahora tengo su corazón
Rappers came and went, I've been here from the start
Los raperos vinieron y se fueron, yo he estado aquí desde el principio
I seen them put it together, watched them take it apart
Los vi armarlo, los vi desarmarlo
Seen the rovers roll up with ribbons
Vi los rovers llegar con cintas
I seen them repo'd, resold then re-driven
Los vi embargados, revendidos y luego reutilizados
So when I reload, he holds number one position
Así que cuando recargo, él ocupa el número uno
When you hot I'm hot
Cuando estás caliente, yo estoy caliente
And when your feet cold, mines is sizzlin'
Y cuando tus pies están fríos, los míos están ardiendo
It's plain to see, niggas can't fuck with me
Es fácil de ver, los niggas no pueden joder conmigo
'Cause I'm a be that nigga for life
Porque voy a ser ese nigga de por vida
This is not an image, this is God given
Esto no es una imagen, esto es un regalo de Dios
This is hard livin', mixed with Cristal sippin'
Esto es vivir duro, mezclado con beber Cristal
It's the most consistent, Hov

Made her sit in that seat where white folks ain't want us to eat
La hizo sentarse en ese asiento donde los blancos no querían que comiéramos
At the tender age of six she was arrested for the sit-ins
A la tierna edad de seis años fue arrestada por las sentadas
And with that in my blood I was born to be different
Y con eso en mi sangre nací para ser diferente
Now niggas can't make it to ballots to choose leadership
Ahora los niggas no pueden llegar a las papeletas para elegir liderazgo
But we can make it to Jacob's and to the dealership
Pero podemos llegar a Jacob's y al concesionario
That's why I hear new music and I just don't be feelin' it
Por eso escucho nueva música y simplemente no la siento
Racism still alive, they just be concealin' it
El racismo sigue vivo, solo lo ocultan
But I know they don't want me in the damn club
Pero sé que no me quieren en el maldito club
They even make me show ID to get inside of Sam's club
Incluso me hacen mostrar la identificación para entrar en Sam's club
I done did dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed
He hecho maldades y fui a la iglesia para lavarme las manos
Swear I've been baptized each three or four times
Juro que he sido bautizado tres o cuatro veces
But in the land where niggas praise Yukons and getting paid
Pero en la tierra donde los niggas alaban a Yukons y a ganar dinero
Its goin' take a lot more than coupons to get us saved
Va a hacer falta mucho más que cupones para salvarnos
Like it take a lot more than du-rags to get you waves
Como hace falta mucho más que pañuelos para conseguir olas
Nothing sad as that day my girl father past away
Nada triste como el día en que el padre de mi chica falleció
So I promised to Mr. Rainey I'm gonna marry your daughter
Así que le prometí al Sr. Rainey que voy a casarme con su hija
And you know I gotta thank you for the way that she was brought up
Y sabes que tengo que agradecerte por la forma en que la criaste
And I know that you was smiling when you seen the car I bought her
Y sé que estabas sonriendo cuando viste el coche que le compré
And you sent tears from heaven when you seen my car get balled up
Y enviaste lágrimas desde el cielo cuando viste mi coche destrozado
But I can't complain what the accident did to my left eye
Pero no puedo quejarme de lo que el accidente hizo a mi ojo izquierdo
'Cause look what an accident did to Left Eye
Porque mira lo que un accidente le hizo a Left Eye
First Aaliyah, now Romeo must die
Primero Aaliyah, ahora Romeo debe morir
I know I got angels watchin' me from the other side
Sé que tengo ángeles vigilándome desde el otro lado
When it comes to being true, at least true to me
Cuando se trata de ser verdadero, al menos verdadero para mí
One thing I found, one thing I found

You don't need a curriculum to know that you a apart of the math
No necesitas un currículum para saber que eres parte de la ecuación
Cats think I'm delirious but I'm so damn serious
Los gatos piensan que estoy delirando pero estoy muy serio
That's why I expose my soul to the globe, the world
Por eso expongo mi alma al globo, al mundo
I'm tryin' to make it better for these little boys and girls
Estoy tratando de mejorar las cosas para estos pequeños niños y niñas
I'm not just another individual
No soy solo otro individuo
My spirit is a part of this that's why I get spiritual
Mi espíritu es parte de esto, por eso me pongo espiritual
But I get my hymns from Him

So it's not me it's He that's lyrical
Así que no soy yo, es Él quien es lírico
I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven sent instrument
No soy un milagro, soy un instrumento enviado del cielo

Por eso soy instrumental, las vibraciones es en lo que estoy
Yeah I need my loot by rent day
Sí, necesito mi botín para el día del alquiler
But that ain't what gives me the heart of Kunta Kinte
Pero eso no es lo que me da el corazón de Kunta Kinte
I'm tryin' to give us us free like Sinke
Estoy tratando de liberarnos como Sinke
I can't stop, that's why I'm hot

I'm talking to you of my many inspirations
Te estoy hablando de mis muchas inspiraciones
When I say I can't let you or self down
Cuando digo que no puedo defraudarte ni a mí mismo
If I were on the highest cliff, on the highest riff
Si estuviera en el acantilado más alto, en el riff más alto
And you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life
Y te resbalaste del lado y te aferraste a tu vida
In my grip I would never ever let you down
En mi agarre nunca te dejaría caer
And when these words are found
Y cuando estas palabras sean encontradas
Let it be known that God's penmanship has been signed
Que se sepa que la escritura de Dios ha sido firmada
With a language called love
Con un lenguaje llamado amor
That's why my breath is felt by the death
Por eso mi aliento es sentido por la muerte
And while my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
Y mientras mis palabras son escuchadas y confinadas a los oídos de los ciegos
I too dream in color and in rhyme
Yo también sueño en color y en rima
So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house
Así que supongo que soy uno de los pocos en una casa llena
'Cause whenever I open my heart, my soul or my mouth
Porque cada vez que abro mi corazón, mi alma o mi boca
A touch of God reigns out
Un toque de Dios reina
When it comes to being true, at least true to me
Cuando se trata de ser verdadero, al menos verdadero para mí
One thing I found, one thing I found

Ich habe gesehen, wie die Rover mit Schleifen ankamen
I seen them repo'd, resold then re-driven
Ich habe sie gepfändet, wiederverkauft und wieder gefahren gesehen
So when I reload, he holds number one position
Also wenn ich nachlade, hält er die Nummer eins Position
When you hot I'm hot
Wenn du heiß bist, bin ich heiß
And when your feet cold, mines is sizzlin'
Und wenn deine Füße kalt sind, sind meine siedend
It's plain to see, niggas can't fuck with me
Es ist offensichtlich zu sehen, Niggas können nicht mit mir mithalten
'Cause I'm a be that nigga for life
Denn ich werde für immer dieser Nigga sein
This is not an image, this is God given
Dies ist kein Image, dies ist von Gott gegeben
This is hard livin', mixed with Cristal sippin'
Dies ist hartes Leben, gemischt mit Cristal-Schlürfen
It's the most consistent, Hov
Es ist der beständigste, Hov
Give you the most hits you can fit inside a whole disc and
Gibt dir die meisten Hits, die du in eine ganze Scheibe passen kannst und
Nigga I'm home on these charts, y'all niggas visitin'
Nigga, ich bin zu Hause auf diesen Charts, ihr Niggas besucht nur
It's Hov tradition, Jeff Gordon of rap

Ich bin zurück, um die Pole-Position zu beanspruchen, holla bei deinem Jungen
Get up, I get down
Steh auf, ich gehe runter
Get up, I get down
Steh auf, ich gehe runter
Get up, I get down
Steh auf, ich gehe runter
Get up, I get down
Steh auf, ich gehe runter
I get down for my grandfather who took my momma
Ich gehe runter für meinen Großvater, der meine Mutter nahm
Made her sit in that seat where white folks ain't want us to eat
Lies sie auf dem Platz sitzen, wo Weiße uns nicht essen lassen wollten
At the tender age of six she was arrested for the sit-ins
Im zarten Alter von sechs wurde sie wegen der Sit-ins verhaftet
And with that in my blood I was born to be different
Und mit dem in meinem Blut, wurde ich geboren, um anders zu sein
Now niggas can't make it to ballots to choose leadership
Jetzt können Niggas es nicht zu den Wahlzetteln schaffen, um Führung zu wählen
But we can make it to Jacob's and to the dealership
Aber wir können es zu Jacob's und zum Autohaus schaffen
That's why I hear new music and I just don't be feelin' it
Deshalb höre ich neue Musik und fühle sie einfach nicht
Racism still alive, they just be concealin' it
Rassismus lebt noch, sie verstecken ihn nur
But I know they don't want me in the damn club
Aber ich weiß, sie wollen mich nicht im verdammten Club
They even make me show ID to get inside of Sam's club
Sie lassen mich sogar meinen Ausweis zeigen, um in den Sam's Club zu kommen
I done did dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed
Ich habe Dreck gemacht und bin zur Kirche gegangen, um meine Hände zu schrubben
Swear I've been baptized each three or four times
Schwöre, ich wurde drei oder vier Mal getauft
But in the land where niggas praise Yukons and getting paid
Aber in dem Land, wo Niggas Yukons preisen und bezahlt werden
Its goin' take a lot more than coupons to get us saved
Es wird viel mehr als Coupons brauchen, um uns gerettet zu bekommen
Like it take a lot more than du-rags to get you waves
Wie es viel mehr als Du-Rags braucht, um dir Wellen zu verschaffen
Nothing sad as that day my girl father past away
Nichts ist so traurig wie der Tag, an dem der Vater meiner Freundin starb
So I promised to Mr. Rainey I'm gonna marry your daughter
Also habe ich Mr. Rainey versprochen, dass ich seine Tochter heiraten werde
And you know I gotta thank you for the way that she was brought up
Und du weißt, ich muss dir danken für die Art, wie sie aufgezogen wurde
And I know that you was smiling when you seen the car I bought her
Und ich weiß, dass du gelächelt hast, als du das Auto gesehen hast, das ich ihr gekauft habe
And you sent tears from heaven when you seen my car get balled up
Und du hast Tränen vom Himmel geschickt, als du gesehen hast, wie mein Auto verbeult wurde
But I can't complain what the accident did to my left eye
Aber ich kann mich nicht beschweren, was der Unfall mit meinem linken Auge gemacht hat
'Cause look what an accident did to Left Eye
Denn schau, was ein Unfall mit Left Eye gemacht hat
First Aaliyah, now Romeo must die
Zuerst Aaliyah, jetzt muss Romeo sterben
I know I got angels watchin' me from the other side
Ich weiß, ich habe Engel, die mich von der anderen Seite beobachten
When it comes to being true, at least true to me
Wenn es darum geht, wahr zu sein, zumindest mir gegenüber
One thing I found, one thing I found
Eine Sache habe ich gefunden, eine Sache habe ich gefunden
Oh no you never let me down
Oh nein, du hast mich nie im Stich gelassen
Get up, I get down
Steh auf, ich gehe runter
Get up, I get down
Steh auf, ich gehe runter

We are all here for a reason on a particular path
Wir sind alle aus einem bestimmten Grund auf einem bestimmten Weg hier
You don't need a curriculum to know that you a apart of the math
Du brauchst keinen Lehrplan, um zu wissen, dass du Teil der Gleichung bist
Cats think I'm delirious but I'm so damn serious
Katzen denken, ich sei verrückt, aber ich bin verdammt ernst
That's why I expose my soul to the globe, the world
Deshalb zeige ich meine Seele der Welt, dem Globus
I'm tryin' to make it better for these little boys and girls
Ich versuche, es für diese kleinen Jungen und Mädchen besser zu machen
I'm not just another individual
Ich bin nicht nur ein weiteres Individuum
My spirit is a part of this that's why I get spiritual
Mein Geist ist Teil davon, deshalb werde ich spirituell
But I get my hymns from Him
Aber meine Hymnen bekomme ich von Ihm
So it's not me it's He that's lyrical
Also bin nicht ich es, sondern Er, der lyrisch ist
I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven sent instrument
Ich bin kein Wunder, ich bin ein himmlisch gesandtes Instrument
My rhythmatic regiment navigates melodic notes
Mein rhythmatisches Regiment navigiert melodische Noten
For your soul and your mental
Für deine Seele und deinen Verstand
That's why I'm instrumental, vibrations is what I'm into
Deshalb bin ich instrumental, Schwingungen sind das, was mich interessiert
Yeah I need my loot by rent day
Ja, ich brauche meine Beute bis zum Miettag
But that ain't what gives me the heart of Kunta Kinte
Aber das ist nicht das, was mir das Herz von Kunta Kinte gibt
I'm tryin' to give us us free like Sinke
Ich versuche, uns frei zu geben wie Sinke
I can't stop, that's why I'm hot
Ich kann nicht aufhören, deshalb bin ich heiß
Determination, dedication, motivation
Entschlossenheit, Hingabe, Motivation
I'm talking to you of my many inspirations
Ich spreche zu dir von meinen vielen Inspirationen
When I say I can't let you or self down
Wenn ich sage, ich kann dich oder mich selbst nicht enttäuschen
If I were on the highest cliff, on the highest riff
Wenn ich auf der höchsten Klippe, auf dem höchsten Riff wäre
And you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life
Und du rutschst ab und klammerst dich an dein Leben
In my grip I would never ever let you down
In meinem Griff würde ich dich niemals fallen lassen
And when these words are found
Und wenn diese Worte gefunden werden
Let it be known that God's penmanship has been signed
Dann soll bekannt sein, dass Gottes Handschrift unterzeichnet wurde
With a language called love
Mit einer Sprache namens Liebe
That's why my breath is felt by the death
Deshalb wird mein Atem vom Tod gespürt
And while my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
Und während meine Worte gehört und auf die Ohren der Blinden beschränkt sind
I too dream in color and in rhyme
Ich träume auch in Farbe und in Reim
So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house
Also bin ich wohl einzigartig in einem vollen Haus
'Cause whenever I open my heart, my soul or my mouth
Denn immer wenn ich mein Herz, meine Seele oder meinen Mund öffne
A touch of God reigns out
Strömt ein Hauch von Gott heraus
When it comes to being true, at least true to me
Wenn es darum geht, wahr zu sein, zumindest mir gegenüber
One thing I found, one thing I found
Eine Sache habe ich gefunden, eine Sache habe ich gefunden
Oh no you never let me down
Oh nein, du hast mich nie im Stich gelassen
Get up, I get

Wer sonst kennst du, der so lange heiß ist
Started from nothing but he got this strong
Angefangen von nichts, aber er ist so stark geworden
Built the Roc from a pebble, peddled rock before I met you
Baute den Roc aus einem Kieselstein, verkaufte Rock bevor ich dich traf
Peddled bikes, got my nephews peddle bikes because they special
Verkaufte Fahrräder, ließ meine Neffen Fahrräder verkaufen, weil sie besonders sind
Let you tell it man I'm fallin' well
Lass es dir erzählen, Mann, ich falle gut
Somebody must have caught him 'cause
Jemand muss ihn gefangen haben, denn
Every fourth quarter, I like to Mike Jordan 'em
Jedes vierte Quartal, ich mag es, sie wie Mike Jordan zu machen
Number one albums what I got, like four of 'em
Nummer eins Alben, was ich habe, so vier von ihnen

[Перевод песни Kanye West – «Never Let Me Down»]
[Интро: Jay-Z]
О, детка
Сделай-ка музыку погромче
[Припев]
Если уж мы говорим о честности, как минимум, честности в моем понятии
Одну вещь я понял, одну вещь я понял
О, нет, ты никогда меня не подведешь
Вставай, я отжигаю, вставай, я отжигаю
Вставай, я отжигаю, вставай, я отжигаю
Вставай, я отжигаю, вставай, я отжигаю
[Куплет 1: Jay-Z]
Йоу, сначала я стал королем улиц, потом стал королем чартов
Сначала я захватил их уши, теперь я захватил их сердца
Рэперы появлялись и пропадали, я был здесь с самого начала
Я видел, как они строили империи, смотрел, как все рушилось
Видел Рейндж Роверы, перевязанные ленточкой
Видел, как их изымали, перепродавали, новых людей за рулем
Ты сможешь занять первое место в чартах лишь в перерывах между моими альбомами
Ты крутой только в этот момент, но не забывай, что я крутой — всегда
И если ты уже спёкся, то я только разогрелся
Это очевидно, н***ы не могут со мной соревноваться
Потому что я буду лучшим среди них всю жизнь
Это не имидж, это дано мне Богом
Это моя тяжелая жизнь, всё вперемешку с тем, как я попиваю Кристал
Я постоянно на вершине, это Хова
Даю вам столько хитов, сколько на диск влезет
Н***а, я чувствую себя как дома в этих чартах, пока вы, н***ы, всего лишь гости
Это традиция Ховы, я Джефф Гордон в рэпе
Я вернулся забрать позицию "поул", поприветствуйте вашего кореша
[Припев]
Если уж мы говорим о честности, как минимум, честности в моем понятии
Одну вещь я понял, одну вещь я понял
О нет, ты никогда меня не подведешь
Вставай, я отжигаю, вставай, я отжигаю
Вставай, я отжигаю, вставай, я отжигаю
Вставай, я отжигаю, вставай
[Куплет 2: Kanye West]
Я отжигаю за своего деда, который взял и посадил мою маму за то место
Где белые не хотели, чтоб она ужинала
В юном возрасте 6 лет, она была арестована за сидячий протест
И со всем этим в моих венах я был просто рожден, чтоб быть не таким, как все
Теперь н***ы даже не могут дойти до будок голосования, чтоб выбрать своих лидеров
Но мы можем дойти до ювелирных лавок или до продавцов машин
Вот поэтому я слышу всю эту новую музыку и не понимаю ее
Расизм все так же жив, они его просто маскируют
Но я знаю, что они не хотят видеть меня в своих клубах
Они даже заставляют меня показывать ID чтоб пройти в Сэм'с Клаб
Я занимался грязными делами, шел в церковь чтоб мои руки очистили
Я клянусь, меня крестили 3 или 4 раза
Но в стране, где н***ы рекламируют тачки и получают за это бабки
Нам понадобится что-то получше купонов, чтоб мы спаслись
Так же, как вам не хватит одного лишь дурага, чтоб иметь волнисые волосы
Ничего нет грустнее того дня, когда отошел в мир иной отец моей девушки
Так что я обещал Мистеру Рэйни, я женюсь на вашей дочери
И, знаете, мне надо вас поблагодарить за то, как вы ее воспитали
И я знаю, что вы улыбались, когда увидели ту машину, что я ей купил
И в раю вы плакали, когда увидели, что я разбил свою
Но я не буду жаловаться на тему того, что эта авария сделала с моим левым глазом
Потому что гляньте, что та авария сделала с Left Eye
Сначала Алайя, теперь Ромео должен умереть
Я знаю, за мной с другого света следят ангелы
[Припев]
Если уж мы говорим о честности, как минимум, честности в моем понятии
Одну вещь я понял, одну вещь я понял
О нет, ты никогда меня не подведешь
Вставай, я отжигаю, вставай, я отжигаю
Вставай, я отжигаю, вставай, я отжигаю
Вставай, я отжигаю, вставай
[Куплет 3: J. Ivy]
Мы все здесь не просто так, у каждого свой путь
Вам не нужны исследования, чтоб понять, что вы часть математики
Они думают я брежу, но я абсолютно серьезен
Поэтому я и показываю свою душу этой Земле, этому миру
Я стараюсь ради этих маленьких мальчиков и девочек
Я не просто еще одна личность
Моя душа - часть всего этого, поэтому я и духовен
Но я пою свои гимны через Его вдохновение
Так что это не я, это он гений текста
Я не чудо, я посланный из рая инструмент
Мои ритмические легионы направляют мелодичные ноты для ваших душ и вашего разума
Поэтому я просто инструмент, вибрации - вот то, что мне нравится
Да, мне нужна моя доля, чтоб оплатить квартиру
Но это не то, что дает мне сердце Кунта Кинте
Я пытаюсь дать нам "нам свободу", как Синке
Я не могу остановиться, поэтому я так горяч
Решительность, самоотверженность, мотивация
Я говорю с вами из-за своих множеств вдохновений
Когда я говорю, что я не могу позволить тебе или себе подвести нас самих
Если б я был на самом высоком обрыве, самой высокой горе
И если ты поскользнешься и сорвешься, и твоя жизнь
В моих руках - я никогда бы тебя не подвел
И когда эти слова найдутся
Пусть будет известно, что это подписано Божьим почерком на языке, который называют "любовь"
Поэтому мое дыхание чувствуют те, кто не может слышать
А мои слова слышат уши тех, кто не может видеть
Я мечтаю в цвете и рифме
Поэтому, наверное, меня можно назвать уникальным
Потому что всегда, когда я открываю свое сердце, душу или рот
Касанье Божье исходит
Отведите их в церковь
[Припев]
Если уж мы говорим о честности, как минимум, честности в моем понятии
Одну вещь я понял, одну вещь я понял
О нет, ты никогда меня не подведешь
Вставай, я, я встаю, я
Вставай, я, я встаю, я
Вставай, я, я встаю, я отжигаю
[Куплет 4: Jay-Z, Kanye West]
Кого еще ты знаешь, кто был таким популярным так долго?
О да, мы не закончили
Начинал с самых низов, а теперь он стал таким сильным
Рокэфелла в здании
Построил Рокэфелла с одного камушка, толкал крэк, пока не встретил тея
Воровал велики, теперь покупаю свои племяшам такие же, потому что они дороги мне
(Вуууу)
Говори, чувак, я падаю
Ну, значит кто-то его поймал
Потому что каждую последнюю четверть я разношу их как Майк Джордан
Альбомов номер один, сколько у меня? Ну чето около четырех
Скоро будет больше, скоро будет восьмое чудо света
Свалите, я остаюсь
Вы можете оставить себе свой треп
Это Джей, диссите Джея - получите в лицо
Когда я читаю н***ы становятся такими верующими
Шесть раз прочитайте Деву Марию: "Отче, прости нас"
Молодой, архиеписком, Папа Иоанн Павел для вас, н***ов
Судя по тому, как вы повторяете за Джиггой
Хова живая легенда и я объясню почему
Все уже хотят быть как Хова, а Хова еще даже не умер
[Refräng]
När det gäller att vara sann, åtminstone sann mot mig
En sak har jag hittat, en sak har jag hittat
Åh nej, du kommer aldrig att svika mig
Gå upp, jag går ner, gå upp, jag går ner
Gå upp, jag går ner, gå upp, jag går ner
Gå upp, jag går ner, gå upp, jag går ner
[Vers 1: Jay-Z]
Yo, först snodde jag gatan, sen snodde jag listorna
Först hade jag deras öron, nu har jag deras hjärtan
Rappare kom och gick, jag har vart här sen start
Jag har sett dem sätta ihop det, sett dem ta isär det
Sett alla Rovers kära upp med band
Jag har sett dem tagna, sålda, omkörda
Så när jag laddar om, han håller nummer ett positionen
När du är het, är jag het
Och när dina fötter är kalla, så fräser mina
Det är lätt att se, niggas kan inte bråka med mig
För jag är en nigga för livet
Det här är ingen bild, det här är en gåva från Gud
Det här är ett svårt liv, blandat med champagne drinkar
Det är det mest konsekventa, Hov
Ge er så många hits du får plats på en skiva och
Nigga jag hör hemma på listorna, ni är turister
Det är en Hov tradition, Jeff Gordon av rap
Jag är tillbaka för att hävda min position, heja på dig
[Refräng]
När det gäller att vara sann, åtminstone sann mot mig
En sak har jag hittat, en sak har jag hittat
Åh nej, du kommer aldrig att svika mig
Gå upp, jag går ner, gå upp, jag går ner
Gå upp, jag går ner, gå upp, jag går ner
Gå upp, jag går ner, gå upp
[Vers 2: Kanye West]
Jag har respekt för min morfar som tog min mamma
Tvinga henne sitta i stolen vart vita människor inte ville att vi skulle äta
Vid 6 års ålder, var hon arresterad för protestera
Och med det i mitt blod var jag menad att vara annorlunda
Nu niggas kan inte komma till omröstning för att välja ledarskap
Men vi kan gå till Jacobs och till återförsäljarna
Det är varför jag hör ny musik och jag gillar bara inte det
Rasismen lever fortfarande, de bara döljer det
Men jag vet att de inte vill ha mig i den jävla klubben
De till och med tvinga mig visa ID för att komma in i Sams Club
Jag gjorde skitjobbet och gick till kyrkan för att skrubba händerna
Svär jag har blivit döpt minst tre eller fyra gånger
Men i landet där niggas berömmer Yukons och får betalt
Det kommer ta mycket mer än doo rags för att få dina waves
Inget är med ledsamt än dagen min tjejs pappa dog
Så jag lova Mr. Rainey jag ska gifta mig med din dotter
Och du vet jag måste tacka dig för sätter hon uppfostrades
Och jag vet att du log när du såg bilen jag köpte till henne
Du skicka tårar från himlen när du såg att min bil blev kraschad
Men jag kan inte klaga på vad olyckan gjorde med mitt vänstra öga
För kolla vad en olycka gjorde mot Left Eye
Först Aaliyah nu Romeo måste dö
Jag vet jag har änglar som vakar lever mig från andra sidan
[Refräng]
När det gäller att vara sann, åtminstone sann mot mig
En sak har jag hittat, en sak har jag hittat
Åh nej, du kommer aldrig att svika mig
Gå upp, jag går ner, gå upp, jag går ner
Gå upp, jag går ner, gå upp, jag går ner
Gå upp, jag går ner, gå upp, jag går ner
[Vers 3: J. Ivy]
Vi är alla här av en anledning på en viss väg
Du behöver ingen läroplan för att veta att du är en del av matematiken
Katter tycker jag är lustig men jag är fucking seriös
Det är varför jag avslöjar min själ till globen; världen
Jag försöker göra det bättre för dessa pojkar och flickor
Jag är inte bara en annan individ
Min ande är en del av detta det är därför jag blir andlig
Men jag får mina psalmer från honom
Så det är inte jag, det är Han som är lyrisk
Jag är inget mirakel, jag är ett himmelskt instrument
Mitt rytmiska regemente navigerar melodiska toner
För din själ och ditt mentala
Det är varför jag är instrumental, vibrationer är vad jag gillar
Yeah, jag behöver mina stålar vid hyresdagen
Men det är inte vad som ger mig hjärtat av Kunte Kinte
Jag försöker få oss "us free" som Cinque
Jag kan inte sluta, det är varför jag är het
Beslutsamhet, engagemang, motivation
Jag pratar med dig om mina många inspirationer
När jag säger jag kan inte svika dig eller mig
Om jag var på högsta klippan, på högsta riffet
Och du snubbla på sidan och fäste dig för ditt liv
I mitt grepp, skulle jag aldrig svika dig
Och när dessa ord hittas
Låt det veta att Guds penna har undertecknats
Med ett språk kallat kärlek
Det är varför mitt andetag känns av de döva
Och medans mina ord är hörda och instängda i öronen av dem blinda
Jag drömmer också i färg och rim
Så jag antar att jag är unik i ett fullt hus
För när jag öppnar mitt hjärta, min själ eller mun
En beröring av Gud råder
Ta dem till kyrkan
[Refräng]
När det gäller att vara sann, åtminstone sann mot mig
En sak har jag hittat, en sak har jag hittat
Åh nej, du kommer aldrig att svika mig
Gå upp, jag går ner, gå upp, jag går ner
Gå upp, jag går ner, gå upp, jag går ner
Gå upp, jag går ner, gå upp, jag går ner
[Vers 4: Jay-Z & Kanye West]
Vem mer känner du som vart så här het så här länge?
(Oh yeah, vi är inte klara)
Starta från inget men han blev så här stark
(The Rock är i byggnaden)
Byggde the Roc från grus, kasta macka innan jag träffa dig
Cyklade, gav min brorson cyklar för dem är speciella
(Wooooo)
Låt dig säga det, mannen, jag faller
Någon måste ha fångat han
För var fjärde kvartal, gillar jag att Mike Jordan dem
Nummer ett albums, vad har jag? Typ fyra av dem
Mer av dem kommer, det åttonde underverket på väg
Akta dig, jag är här för att stanna
Ni kan spara på struntpratet, det här och det där
Det här är Jay, dissa Jay kommer få dig som maced
När jag börjar spotta rader nigger blir religiösa
Sätter ni följer Jigga
Hov är en levande legend och jag kan säga varför
Alla vill vara Hov och Hov lever fortfarande
