GOD'S WILL
Ben Haggerty, Daoud Anthony, Jacob Dutton, Joshua Karp, Tyler Dopps
Never turn my back on my birthplace
Leave it to my city, making sure that the dirt's straight
Leave my kids just enough 'cause I'll fail them the worst way
If I raised some rich spoiled white girls in the first place, yeah
Leave a legacy, one worth remembering
In my robe, looking out on Rome, on the Mezzanine, like
Why creators are the last ones with some equity?
Put myself in a position to pass it to my people
And that's why I'm never settling, more capital than Beverly
Before my grandma died, she saw me on Jeopardy
Still think PJs are too expensive
Still don't make music with people I ain't friends with
Still fuck the industry, and no, I don't mess with
People that my mama wouldn't want to have for breakfast
That's right
The suits, the streams, the snakes, the schemes, the steady
Pursuit of paper over truth and dreams
Loyal to my soil, never change the oil
Kept the motor running, kept my foot up on the gas
And push to start the button
Everything I thought I always wanted, everything it wasn't
Never know that God is everything until you lose sight of Him, yeah
Never know that God is everything until you lose sight of Him
Said it's written on my face, I can't play it off
I got so much on my plate, I can't shake it off
But I'm built for this, I'm built for this
I been staying in my lane, keep my head down
I was losing my faith, but I'm blessed now
God told me, "You built for this"
I know I'm built for this
You weren't supposed to die here
You were supposed to fly here
Look what you built off your imagination
Could've never imagined the places you would've been taken because your ideas
This is in your veins, like where the IV is
My mama's Dodge minivan became my own at sixteen
Before sixteen ever got you a phone
Maybe when I was thirteen, twelve, eleven, who knows
But I was in the back of that motherfucker writing my poems
On shrooms with the busted boombox
Thinking that this special brew and beater, I was Tupac, nah
If I could go back and give that motherfucker advice
I'd say it was already written, boy
Keep living your life
Put everything you got into your truth
That instrument you carry around, that is a tool
The most precious one you'll ever have
There's no shortcuts in the craft
Because the craft is actually just a path to discover you
It can get you pussy, respect, money, fame and
They love to call it, "the game," but please do not get it confused
'Cause that's just the temptation that God is gonna put in front of your face
To see how bad you really want the jewel
And you don't run this shit, these are God's words
And when you catch the Holy Spirit, thank God first
Kill the ego, kill the need to keep on pleasing people
Self-centeredness and self-will isn't how God works
We only here for a blink and it's gone
So, what you gonna do with the ink you use in your songs?
Regardless of your deal, or the label that you're on
When you die, the Universe already owns them all
That's God's will
It's all God's will
Never turn my back on my birthplace
Non voltare mai le spalle al luogo in cui sono nato
Leave it to my city, making sure that the dirt's straight
Lascialo alla mia città, assicurandomi che la sporcizia sia a posto
Leave my kids just enough 'cause I'll fail them the worst way
Lasciare ai miei figli solo il necessario perché li deluderei nel modo peggiore
If I raised some rich spoiled white girls in the first place, yeah
Se avessi cresciuto delle ragazze bianche viziati e ricche in primo luogo, sì
Leave a legacy, one worth remembering
Lasciare un'eredità, una degna di essere ricordata
In my robe, looking out on Rome, on the Mezzanine, like
Nel mio accappatoio, guardando fuori su Roma, sul mezzanino, come
Why creators are the last ones with some equity?
Perché i creatori sono gli ultimi con un po' di equità?
Put myself in a position to pass it to my people
Mi sono messo in una posizione per passarlo alla mia gente
And that's why I'm never settling, more capital than Beverly
Ecco perché non mi accontento mai, più capitale di Beverly
Before my grandma died, she saw me on Jeopardy
Prima che mia nonna morisse, mi ha visto su Jeopardy
Still think PJs are too expensive
Penso ancora che i pigiami siano troppo cari

People that my mama wouldn't want to have for breakfast
Persone che mia mamma non vorrebbe avere per colazione
That's right
Esatto
The suits, the streams, the snakes, the schemes, the steady
I vestiti, i flussi, i serpenti, gli schemi, il costante
Pursuit of paper over truth and dreams
Inseguimento della carta sopra la verità e i sogni
Loyal to my soil, never change the oil
Fedele al mio suolo, non cambio mai l'olio
Kept the motor running, kept my foot up on the gas
Ho tenuto il motore in moto, ho tenuto il piede sul gas
And push to start the button
E ho premuto per avviare il pulsante
Everything I thought I always wanted, everything it wasn't
Tutto quello che pensavo di volere sempre, tutto quello che non era
Never know that God is everything until you lose sight of Him, yeah
Non sai mai che Dio è tutto finché non perdi di vista Lui, sì
Never know that God is everything until you lose sight of Him
Non sai mai che Dio è tutto finché non perdi di vista Lui
Said it's written on my face, I can't play it off
Dissero che è scritto sul mio viso, non posso far finta di niente
I got so much on my plate, I can't shake it off
Ho così tanto nel mio piatto, non posso liberarmene
But I'm built for this, I'm built for this
Ma sono fatto per questo, sono fatto per questo
I been staying in my lane, keep my head down
Sono rimasto nella mia corsia, ho tenuto la testa bassa
I was losing my faith, but I'm blessed now
Stavo perdendo la mia fede, ma ora sono benedetto
God told me, "You built for this"
Dio mi ha detto, "Sei fatto per questo"
I know I'm built for this
So che sono fatto per questo
You weren't supposed to die here
Non dovevi morire qui
You were supposed to fly here
Dovevi volare qui
Look what you built off your imagination
Guarda cosa hai costruito con la tua immaginazione
Could've never imagined the places you would've been taken because your ideas
Non avresti mai potuto immaginare i posti in cui saresti stato portato a causa delle tue idee
This is in your veins, like where the IV is
Questo è nelle tue vene, come dove si trova l'IV

Before sixteen ever got you a phone
Prima che sedici ti avesse mai procurato un telefono
Maybe when I was thirteen, twelve, eleven, who knows
Forse quando avevo tredici, dodici, undici, chissà
But I was in the back of that motherfucker writing my poems
Ma ero nel retro di quella stronza a scrivere le mie poesie
On shrooms with the busted boombox
Con funghi e lo stereo rotto
Thinking that this special brew and beater, I was Tupac, nah
Pensando che questa birra speciale e battitore, ero Tupac, nah
If I could go back and give that motherfucker advice

I'd say it was already written, boy
Direi che era già scritto, ragazzo
Keep living your life
Continua a vivere la tua vita
Put everything you got into your truth
Metti tutto quello che hai nella tua verità
That instrument you carry around, that is a tool
Quello strumento che porti in giro, quello è uno strumento
The most precious one you'll ever have
Il più prezioso che avrai mai
There's no shortcuts in the craft
Non ci sono scorciatoie nell'artigianato
Because the craft is actually just a path to discover you
Perché l'artigianato è in realtà solo un sentiero per scoprire te stesso
It can get you pussy, respect, money, fame and
Può farti avere ragazze, rispetto, soldi, fama e
They love to call it, "the game," but please do not get it confused
Amano chiamarlo "il gioco", ma per favore non confondetelo
'Cause that's just the temptation that God is gonna put in front of your face
Perché quella è solo la tentazione che Dio metterà davanti al tuo viso
To see how bad you really want the jewel
Per vedere quanto desideri davvero il gioiello
And you don't run this shit, these are God's words
E non comandi tu, queste sono parole di Dio
And when you catch the Holy Spirit, thank God first
E quando ricevi lo Spirito Santo, ringrazia Dio per primo
Kill the ego, kill the need to keep on pleasing people
Uccidi l'ego, uccidi il bisogno di continuare a compiacere le persone
Self-centeredness and self-will isn't how God works
L'egoismo e l'autovolontà non è così che Dio lavora
We only here for a blink and it's gone
Siamo qui solo per un attimo e poi se ne va
So, what you gonna do with the ink you use in your songs?
Allora, cosa farai con l'inchiostro che usi nelle tue canzoni?
Regardless of your deal, or the label that you're on
Indipendentemente dal tuo contratto, o dall'etichetta su cui sei
When you die, the Universe already owns them all
Quando muori, l'Universo già li possiede tutti
That's God's will
Questa è la volontà di Dio
It's all God's will
È tutta la volontà di Dio

Still fuck the industry, and no, I don't mess with
Fick immer noch die Industrie, und nein, ich mache keinen Ärger mit
People that my mama wouldn't want to have for breakfast
Leuten, die meine Mama nicht zum Frühstück haben möchte
That's right
Das ist richtig
The suits, the streams, the snakes, the schemes, the steady
Die Anzüge, die Streams, die Schlangen, die Pläne, das Stetige
Pursuit of paper over truth and dreams
Streben nach Papier über Wahrheit und Träume
Loyal to my soil, never change the oil
Treu zu meinem Boden, wechsle nie das Öl
Kept the motor running, kept my foot up on the gas
Habe den Motor laufen gelassen, habe meinen Fuß auf dem Gas
And push to start the button
Und drücke den Startknopf
Everything I thought I always wanted, everything it wasn't
Alles, was ich immer wollte, war alles, was es nicht war
Never know that God is everything until you lose sight of Him, yeah
Man weiß nie, dass Gott alles ist, bis man ihn aus den Augen verliert, ja
Never know that God is everything until you lose sight of Him
Man weiß nie, dass Gott alles ist, bis man ihn aus den Augen verliert
Said it's written on my face, I can't play it off
Es steht auf meinem Gesicht geschrieben, ich kann es nicht abspielen
I got so much on my plate, I can't shake it off
Ich habe so viel auf meinem Teller, ich kann es nicht abschütteln
But I'm built for this, I'm built for this
Aber ich bin dafür gemacht, ich bin dafür gemacht
I been staying in my lane, keep my head down
Ich bin in meiner Spur geblieben, halte meinen Kopf unten
I was losing my faith, but I'm blessed now
Ich habe meinen Glauben verloren, aber ich bin jetzt gesegnet
God told me, "You built for this"
Gott hat mir gesagt: „Du bist dafür gemacht“
I know I'm built for this
Ich weiß, ich bin dafür gemacht
You weren't supposed to die here
Du solltest hier nicht sterben
You were supposed to fly here
Du solltest hier fliegen
Look what you built off your imagination
Schau, was du mit deiner Vorstellungskraft gebaut hast
Could've never imagined the places you would've been taken because your ideas
Hätte mir nie vorstellen können, an welche Orte du gebracht worden wärst, wegen deiner Ideen
This is in your veins, like where the IV is
Das ist in deinen Adern, wie dort, wo der IV ist
My mama's Dodge minivan became my own at sixteen
Der Dodge Minivan meiner Mutter wurde mit sechzehn meiner
Before sixteen ever got you a phone
Bevor sechzehn dir jemals ein Telefon besorgt hat
Maybe when I was thirteen, twelve, eleven, who knows
Vielleicht als ich dreizehn, zwölf, elf war, wer weiß
But I was in the back of that motherfucker writing my poems
Aber ich war hinten in diesem Mistkerl und schrieb meine Gedichte
On shrooms with the busted boombox
Auf Pilzen mit dem kaputten Boombox
Thinking that this special brew and beater, I was Tupac, nah
Dachte, dass dieses spezielle Gebräu und Schläger, ich war Tupac, nein
If I could go back and give that motherfucker advice
Wenn ich zurückgehen und diesem Mistkerl einen Rat geben könnte
I'd say it was already written, boy
Ich würde sagen, es war schon geschrieben, Junge
Keep living your life
Lebe weiter dein Leben
Put everything you got into your truth
Stecke alles, was du hast, in deine Wahrheit
That instrument you carry around, that is a tool
Das Instrument, das du herumträgst, das ist ein Werkzeug
The most precious one you'll ever have
Das wertvollste, das du jemals haben wirst
There's no shortcuts in the craft
Es gibt keine Abkürzungen im Handwerk
Because the craft is actually just a path to discover you
Denn das Handwerk ist eigentlich nur ein Weg, um dich zu entdecken
It can get you pussy, respect, money, fame and
Es kann dir Pussy, Respekt, Geld, Ruhm und
They love to call it, "the game," but please do not get it confused
Sie lieben es, es „das Spiel“ zu nennen, aber bitte verwechsle es nicht
'Cause that's just the temptation that God is gonna put in front of your face
Denn das ist nur die Versuchung, die Gott vor dein Gesicht stellen wird
To see how bad you really want the jewel
Um zu sehen, wie sehr du das Juwel wirklich willst
And you don't run this shit, these are God's words
Und du führst das nicht, das sind Gottes Worte
And when you catch the Holy Spirit, thank God first
Und wenn du den Heiligen Geist empfängst, danke Gott zuerst
Kill the ego, kill the need to keep on pleasing people
Töte das Ego, töte das Bedürfnis, weiterhin Menschen zu gefallen
Self-centeredness and self-will isn't how God works
Egozentrik und Eigenwille ist nicht, wie Gott arbeitet
We only here for a blink and it's gone
Wir sind nur für einen Augenblick hier und es ist vorbei
So, what you gonna do with the ink you use in your songs?
Also, was wirst du mit der Tinte machen, die du in deinen Liedern benutzt?
Regardless of your deal, or the label that you're on
Unabhängig von deinem Deal oder dem Label, auf dem du bist
When you die, the Universe already owns them all
Wenn du stirbst, gehört das Universum bereits allen
That's God's will
Das ist Gottes Wille
It's all God's will
Es ist alles Gottes Wille
