I'ma make it count while I'm here
Vou fazer valer a pena enquanto estiver aqui
God is the only man I fear
Deus é o único homem que tenho medo
It's bigger than black and white
É maior que preto e branco
It's a problem with the whole way of life
É um problema com todo o modo de vida
It can't change overnight (nah)
Não vai mudar da noite pro dia (não)
But we gotta start somewhere
Mas temos que começar de algum jeito
Might as well gon' 'head start here
Devemos também começar daqui
We done had a hell of a year
Já cansamos de ter um ano infernal
I'ma make it count while I'm here
Vou fazer valer a pena enquanto estiver aqui
God is the only man I fear
Deus é o único homem que tenho medo
[Letra de "Lil Baby - The Bigger Picture (Traducción al Español)"]
[Intro]
Portestas y una oleada creciente de repudio nacional siguen por la muerte de George Floyd (Section 8 just straight cooked this motherfucker up)
Anoche, la gente protestando en Minneapolis se intensificó
Cuando manifestantes fueron golpeados con gas lacrimógeno y balas de goma
El mensaje principal aquí, el mensaje principal aquí, el mensaje principal aquí
Es que quieren ver a los policías involucrados
Quieren ver a los policías arrestados
Policías arrestados
(No puedo respirar, no puedo respirar)
[Verso 1]
Cambiar mi 4x4 por un G63, no hay más libra Lil Steve
Les di oportunidad tras oportunidad tras oprtunidad, les dije hasta por favor
Me parece una locura que la policía te disparará y sabrá que estás muerto, pero sigue exigiendo que te quedes inmóvil
Jodido, he visto lo que he visto
Supongo que significa sujetarlo si dice que no puede respirar
Hay demasiadas madres que hacen el luto
Están matándonos por ningún motivo
Ha estado pasando por demasiado tiempo para desquitarse
Tirarnos en jualas como perros y hienas
Fui a la corte y me mandaron a la cárcel
Mi mamá estaba destrozada cuando dijeron que no podía salir
Primero que estaba emborracho, luego que quité rápido
Cuando oí de todo ese tiempo que le dieron a Taleeb
Recibió la cadena perpetua y más
Solo somos unos productos de nuestro entorno
¿Cómo coño van a echarnos la culpa?
No puedes combatir el fuego con fuego
Sé, pero por lo menos podemos encender las llamas un poco más
Cada persona de color no es estúpido y todos los blancos no son racistas
Juzgo por la mente y el corazón, no me interesan las caras
Jodido, la forma en que vivimos no va mejorando, hay que saber cómo sobrevivir
Una locura, tuve que decirle a todos mis seres queridos que llevaran un arma cuando salgan
Mirar fijamente en el espejo cuando conduces
Sobreprotector, vuelvo loco por los míos
Tienes que hacerle caso a los señales
Parece que los ciegos siguen los ciegos
Pensando en todo que está pensando
Incremento la seguridad en mi casa
Estoy con los míos si tienen razón o se equivocan
Lo llamo ahora, va a coger el celular
Son las cinco de la mañana, se despierta pensando en ello
Diles que dondequiera que esté, luego van a venir
Veo luces azules, me asusto y empiezo a correr
Esa mierda es una locura, se supone que nos protegen
Nos ponen las esposas y nos arrestan
Mientras van para sus casas por la noche, esa mierda está mal
Sabiendo que necesitamos ayuda, nos descuidan
Pensando en quién va a hacer que nos respeten
Veo en tus ojos que estás harto
Perder el maldito tiempo, tengo mi oportunidad, no me voy a dejar
Saben que juntos somos un problema
Saben que podemos poner la tormenta en cualquier clima
[Coro]
Se trata de más que blanco y negro
Es un problema con la forma de vida
No puede cambiar de la noche a la mañana
Pero debemos empezar por algún lado
¿Por qué no empezamos aquí?
Hemos tendio un año de la hostia
Voy a hacer que cuente mientras esté aquí
Dios es el único hombre a que le temo
[Verso 2]
Para el carajo, voy por el frente
Te va a aplastar si pasas por la línea de pistola
Sabes que cuando la tormenta se vaya, luego luce el sol
Tú tienes que meterte en el partido cuando es la hora de verdad
Quiero que todos mis hijos crezcan para ser monstruos
Quiero que todas mis hijas se defendian en público
Parece que estamos perdiendo nuestro país
Pero tenemos que mantenernos firme en algo, entonces esto es a lo que se reduce
Veo cada vídeo sobre mi conciencia
Tengo poder, ahroa tengo que decir algo
La policía corrompida ha sido el problema de donde soy
Pero estaría mintiendo si dijera que era todos
No lo hice porque está de moda, no los sigo
Altercados con la ley, he tenido mucho de ellos
La gente está hablando por la gente, estoy orgulloso de ellos
Manténganse unidos, podmeos sacarlo de ellos
No puedo mentir como si no rapeara de matar y drogas, pero le digo a los jovenes que voten
Hice lo que hice porque no tenía una opicíon ni esperanzas, me vi obligado a intervenir y ir
Esta mierda es todo lo que sabmeos, pero es hora de cambiar
Hay tiempo para ser serio, no hay tiempo para juegos
No vamos a aceptar el abuso, dejennos de las cadenas
Que Dios bendiga sus almas, cada uno de sus nombres
[Coro]
Se trata de más que blanco y negro
Es un problema con la forma de vida
No puede cambiar de la noche a la mañana
Pero debemos empezar por algún lado
¿Por qué no empezamos aquí?
Hemos tendio un año de la hostia
Voy a hacer que cuente mientras esté aquí
Dios es el único hombre a que le temo
[Verso 3]
Entretienen a las policías para matarnos, después disparando a los manifestantes con esas balas de goma
Es gente normal, sé que lo siente
Esas cicatrices son demasiado profunda para curarnos
¿Qué pasó con COVID?, nadie recuerda
No tiene sentido, solo estoy aquí para desahogarme
Pasa a los tuyos, es diferente
Lo entendemos, el sistema es malvado, aprende como aprovecharlo
Saber es poder, juro que soy un testigo, sé que soy dotado
No me voy a meter tan profundo porque tengo miedo de que me cacen
No tengo miedo de asumirlo, hay cosas que no puedo mencionar
Es la gente que pueda, pues, aquí es la oportunidad
No me voy a declarar, pero me voy a poner firme en mis creencias
No respiras el mismo aire que yo respiro
Sabes la forma en que sangro, puedes sangrar
Nunca he sido un fanático de la policía
Pero mi barrio sabe que trato de mantener la paz
Así que es apropriado que me meto en las calles
Marcha por algún motivo, no solo en GP
Nuestra gente murieron para que podamos estar libre
¿Qué coño quieres decir? Esto era un sueño
Ahora tenemos el poder que necesitamos tener
No quieren que lo tengamos y por eso están enojados, sí
[Coro]
Se trata de más que blanco y negro
Es un problema con la forma de vida
No puede cambiar de la noche a la mañana
Pero debemos empezar por algún lado
¿Por qué no empezamos aquí?
Hemos tendio un año de la hostia
Voy a hacer que cuente mientras esté aquí

Trade my 4x4 for a G63, ain't no more free Lil Steve
Cambio mi 4x4 por un G63, ya nada de libera Lil Steve
I gave 'em chance and chance and chance again, I even done told them please
Les di chance por chance por chance otra vez, incluso les dije por favor
I find it crazy the police'll shoot you and know that you dead, but still tell you to freeze
Me parece una locura que la policía te dispara y saben que estás muerto, pero aún te dicen quieto
Fucked up, I seen what I seen
Jodido, he visto lo que he visto
I guess that mean hold him down if he say he can't breathe
Supongo que eso significa sujétalo si dice que no puede respirar
It's too many mothers that's grievin'
Hay demasiadas madres de luto
They killin' us for no reason
Nos están matando sin razón
Been goin' on for too long to get even
Ha estado pasando por demasiado tiempo para vengarnos
Throw us in cages like dogs and hyenas
Nos ponen en jaulas como perros e hienas
I went to court and they sent me to prison
Fui a la corte y me mandaron a prisión
My mama was crushed when they said I can't leave
Mi mamá fue destruida cuando dijeron que no me podía ir
First I was drunk, then I sobered up quick
Primero estaba borracho, luego rápido recobré la sobriedad
When I heard all that time that they gave to Taleeb
Cuando escuché la pena de cárcel que le dieron a Taleeb
He got a life sentence plus
Le dieron una cadena perpetua
We just some products of our environment
Solo somos productos de nuestro entorno
How the fuck they gon' blame us?

Je ne passerai pas devant la juge, mais je serai debout pour mes principes
Must not be breathin' the air that I breathe
Peut-être que vous ne respirez pas le même air que moi
You know that the way that I bleed, you can bleed
Tu sais que tu peux saigner exactement comme moi

Je n'ai jamais été un amateur de la police
But my neighborhood know I try to keep peace

[Intro]
George Floyd'un ölümü üzerine başlatılan protestolar ve büyüyen ulusal salgın devam ediyor
Dün gece, Minneapolis'te protesto eden
Göstericiler göz yaşartıcı gaz ve lastik mermilerle dövüldükçe
Buradaki ana mesaj, buradaki ana mesaj, buradaki ana mesaj
İlgili memurları görmek istiyorlar mı
Bu memurların tutuklandığını görmek istiyorlar
Memurlar tutuklandı(Nefes alamıyorum, nefes alamıyorum)
[Verse 1]
4x4'ümü bir G63 ile takas et, artık "Lil Steve'e özgürlük" dememize gerek kalmadı
Onlara tekrar, tekrar ve tekrar şans verdim, hatta onlara lütfen bile dedim
Polis seni vuracağında öleceğini biliyorum, bunu çılgınca buluyorum, ama yine de sana donmanı söyleyeceğim
Mahvettiler, göreceğimi gördüm
Nefes alamayacağını söylemesine rağmen bacağını onun üzerinde basılı tuttun
Kederli çok fazla anne var
Bizi sebepsiz yere öldürüyorlar
Eşit olmak için çok uzun süredir savaşıyoruz
Bizi köpekler ve sırtlanlar gibi kafeslere atıyorlar
Mahkemeye gittim ve beni hapse yolladılar
Anneme ordan ayrılamayacağımı söylediklerinde yıkıldı
Önceden sarhoştum, sonra çabucak ayıldım
Taleeb'e verdikleri bütün bu zamanı duyduğumda ağzım açık kaldı
Bir ömür boyu hapis cezası aldı
Biz sadece çevremizin ürünleriyiz
Bizi nasıl suçlayacaklar amına koyayım?
Ateşe karşı ateşle savaşamazsın
Biliyorum ama en azından bazı alevleri söndürebiliriz
Her renkli insan aptal değil ve tüm beyazlar ırkçı değil
Zihin ve yüreğe bakarak yargılıyorum, gerçekten yüzlere bakmıyorum
Mahvettiler, yaşama şeklimiz iyileşmiyor, nasıl hayatta kalacağını bilmelisin
Biliyorum çılgınca, ama tüm sevdiklerime dışarı çıktıklarında silah taşımalarını söylemeliydim
Ne zaman sürersen sür yine de aynaya bak
Aşırı koruyucu ol, benim için çıldır
İşaretlere dikkat etmelisin
Körlüğü takip eden herkes kör gibi görünüyor
Olan her şeyi düşünerek
Evimdeki güvenliği artırıyorum
Kendi nezaketimleyim, eğer onlar doğru ya da yanlışsa
Onu şimdi aradım, telefonu açacak
Sabahın beşi, uyanıyor
Onlara nerede olduğumu söyledim, şimdi geliyorlar
Mavi ışıklar görüyorum, korkuyorum ve koşmaya başlıyorum
Bu lanet olası deliler, bizi korumalılar
Bizi kelepçeyle atın ve tutuklayın
Geceleri eve giderken, bu bok berbat hissettiriyor
Yardıma ihtiyacımız olduğunu bilerek bizi ihmal ediyorlar
Kimin bize saygı göstereceğini merak ediyorum
Gözündeki bıkkınlığı görebiliyorum
Siktir et, vuruşumu yapacağım, izin vermeyeceğim
Hep birlikte bir sorun olduğumuzu biliyorlar
Herhangi bir havada fırtına kopartabileceğimizi biliyorlar
[Chorus]
Sorun siyah ve beyazdan daha büyük
Tüm yaşam tarzıyla ilgili bir sorun
Bir gecede değişemez
Ama bir yerden başlamalıyız
Şimdi buradan başlayabilirsin
Yaptığımız şey yılı cehenneme çevirdi
Ben buradayken hesabı yaparım
Tanrı korktuğum tek adam
[Verse 2]
Siktir et, ön cepheye gidiyorum
Eğer o silah hattını geçersen kıçını yakacak
Fırtınanın ne zaman uzaklaştığını biliyorsun, sonra güneş parlıyor
Patırtı zamanı geldiğinde oyuna katılmalısın
Bütün oğullarımın canavar olması için büyümesini istiyorum
Tüm kızlarımın halka açık olarak gösterilmesini istiyorum
Ülkemizi kaybediyoruz gibi görünüyor
Ama bir şey için ayağa kalkmalıyız, işte bu yüzden
Gördüğüm her videoda vicdanım sızlıyor
Gücüm var, şimdi bir şey söylemeliyim
Aşağılık bir polis için nereli olduğum sorun oldu
Ama hepsinin böyle olduğunu söylersem yalan söylemiş olurdum
Bunu trend için yapmıyorum, onları takip etmiyorum
Yasa ile ilgili tartışmaların birçoğu zaten vardı
İnsanlar için konuşan insanlar, onlarla gurur duyuyorum
Birlikte yaparsak, onlardan kurtulabiliriz
Öldürme ve uyuşturucu konusunda rap yapmıyorum gibi bir yalan söyleyemem ama gençlere oy vermelerini söylüyorum
Yapacağımı yaptım çünkü başka seçeneğim ya da umudum yoktu, sadece içeri girip çıkmak zorunda kaldım
Bildiğimiz her şey birer saçmalık, ama zaman değişim zamanı
Ciddi olmak için zamanın var, oyun için zaman yok
Zincirlerinden artık kurtuluyoruz, gidelim burdan
Tanrı her bir ismin ruhlarını korusun
[Chorus]
Sorun siyah ve beyazdan daha büyük
Tüm yaşam tarzıyla ilgili bir sorun
Bir gecede değişemez
Ama bir yerden başlamalıyız
Şimdi buradan başlayabilirsin
Yaptığımız şey yılı cehenneme çevirdi
Ben buradayken hesabı yaparım
Tanrı korktuğum tek adam
[Verse 3]
Bizi öldürmek için memurları eğitiyorlar, sonra bu kauçuk mermilerle protestocuları vuruyorlar
Siz, düzenli insanlar, bunu hissettiğinizi biliyorum
Bu yaralar iyileştirilemeyecek kadar derin
COVID'e ne oldu? Kimse hatırlamıyor
Mantıklı değil, sadece hava almak için buradayım
İnsanlarınızdan birine oldu, bu farklı
Anlıyoruz, sistem kötü, sadece nasıl seçeceğinizi öğrenin
Bilgi güçtür, yemin ederim ben şahidim, yetenekli olduğumu biliyorum
Çok derine inmeyeceğim çünkü beni yakalayacaklarından korkuyorum
İtiraf etmekten korkmuyorum, bazılarından bahsedemiyorum
Yapabilecek insanlar için, işte şans
Ben tavır almayacağım, ama inandığım şey için tavır alacağım
Soluduğum havayı solumamalı
Biliyorsun ki benim kanama şeklim senin de kanama şeklin
Asla polis hayranı olmadım
Ama mahallem barışı korumaya çalıştığımı biliyor
Bu yüzden sadece sokaklara girmem doğru
Bir sebepten dolayı Mart'ta sadece kişisel özgürlük için ölmediler
Halkımız özgür olmak için öldü
Ne demek istiyorsun amına koyayım? Bu bir rüyaydı
Şimdi sahip olmamız gereken güce sahibiz
Bizi bu güçle istemiyorlar ve bu yüzden çıldırıyorlar, evet
[Chorus]
Sorun siyah ve beyazdan daha büyük
Tüm yaşam tarzıyla ilgili bir sorun
Bir gecede değişemez
Ama bir yerden başlamalıyız
Şimdi buradan başlayabilirsin
Yaptığımız şey yılı cehenneme çevirdi
Ben buradayken hesabı yaparım
Tanrı korktuğum tek adam
Sorun siyah ve beyazdan daha büyük
Tüm yaşam tarzıyla ilgili bir sorun
Bir gecede değişemez
Ama bir yerden başlamalıyız
Şimdi buradan başlayabilirsin
Yaptığımız şey yılı cehenneme çevirdi
Ben buradayken hesabı yaparım
Tanrı korktuğum tek adam
