Used to be a dreamer
Dreamin' of a fire
Uh, my mama used to pray that she'd see me in Yale
It's fucked up she gotta see me in jail
On the visit with Lil Papi, it hurt even though I seemed to be well
They got a smoker with a key to my cell, damn
And even worst, my judge black don't wanna see me do well
It's either that or black people for sale
Gave me two to four years like, "Fuck your life, meet me in hell"
And let it burn like Lucifer, you look even stupider
Tryna impress them people in power when power abusin' us
For 44 dollars a hour, you coward they using ya
Is it self-hate that made you send me upstate?
This where the so-called "real niggas" sweeping up for cupcakes
And that's your phone time, if you ain't got no money, you ain't online
Hey call your son, call your daughter just to wish them more prime
Oh God, don't let them streets get a hold of 'em
Your daughter fuckin' now, it's gon be a cold summer
Your son trappin' and your homie givin' O's to him
And if he fuck that paper up, he puttin' holes through him
And you just wanna make it home, so you can show it to him
And them people ain't finna give no parole to ya
They want blood, we all hangin' with a noose on our neck
My celly mom just died, he wanna use my collect
And he won't make it to the wake unless he give 'em a check
We still niggas though, what you expect?
I just won
I was on the corner with the reefa
And they got us warring for our freedom
See my brother blood on the pavement
How you wake up in the mornin' feelin' evil?
Uhh, trauma
When them drugs got a hold of your mama
And the judge got a hold on your father
Go to school, bullet holes in the locker
Ain't no PTSDs, them drugs keep it at ease
They shot that boy 20 times when they could've told him just freeze
Could've put him in a cop car, but they let him just bleed
The ambulance, they coming baby, just breathe
That's what the old lady said when she screamed
This nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th
And in the 13th amendment, it don't say that we kings
They say that we legally slaves if we go to the bing
They told Kaep' stand up if you wanna play for a team
And all his teammates ain't saying a thing (Stay woke)
If you don't stand for nothing, you gon' fall for something
And in the 60's, if you kneeled, you'd prolly be killed
But they don't kill you now, they just take you out of your deal
Kill your account, look where money get spilled
Check it, and they don't kill you now, they just take you out of your deal
Kill your account, look where money get spilled
I just won
I was on the corner with the reefa
And they got us warring for our freedom
See my brother blood on the pavement

And the judge got a hold on your father
Go to school, bullet holes in the locker
How many times you send me to jail to know that I won't fail
Invisible shackles on the king, 'cause shit, I'm on bail
I went from selling out arenas, now shit, I'm on sale
Them cold nights starting to feel like hell, uhh
Watching a black woman take my freedom
Almost made me hate my people
When they label you felon, it's like they telling you they not equal
11 years going to court knowing they might keep you or drive you crazy
23 hours in a cell, somebody save me
I'm on a jail call, tryna explain it to my baby

Uhh, trauma

And the judge got a hold on your father
Go to school, bullet holes in the locker
Uhh, trauma
Used to be a dreamer
Ero un sognatore
Dreamin' of a fire
Sognavo il fuoco
Uh, my mama used to pray that she'd see me in Yale
Uh, mia madre pregava perché andassi a Yale
It's fucked up she gotta see me in jail
È assurdo che mi abbia dovuto vedere in prigione
On the visit with Lil Papi, it hurt even though I seemed to be well
Durante le visite con Lil Papi stavo male anche se fingevo che andasse tutto bene
They got a smoker with a key to my cell, damn
Hanno un fumatore di crack con le chiavi per la mia cella, dannazione
And even worst, my judge black don't wanna see me do well
E ancora peggio, la mia giudice è nera, ma non vuole vedermi stare bene
It's either that or black people for sale
È quello, oppure è dalla parte della schiavitù dei neri
Gave me two to four years like, "Fuck your life, meet me in hell"
Mi ha dato dai due ai quattro anni tipo "fanculo la tua vita, ci vediamo all'inferno"
And let it burn like Lucifer, you look even stupider
E fallo bruciare come Lucifero, sembro ancora più stupido
Tryna impress them people in power when power abusin' us
Stiamo cercando di impressionare la gente con il potere, mentre il potere ci sta abusando
For 44 dollars a hour, you coward they using ya
Per 44 dollari all'ora, quei codardi ci stanno usando
Is it self-hate that made you send me upstate?
È l'odio per te stessa che ti ha fatto decidere di mandarmi in prigione?
This where the so-called "real niggas" sweeping up for cupcakes
Questo è il posto dove i "real niggas" scopano il pavimento per avere delle merendine
And that's your phone time, if you ain't got no money, you ain't online
E quando puoi telefonare, se non hai soldi non lo puoi fare
Hey call your son, call your daughter just to wish them more prime
Chiama tuo figlio, chiama tua figlia, per augurare loro una vita migliore
Oh God, don't let them streets get a hold of 'em
Oh signore, fa' che la strada non prenda possesso di loro
Your daughter fuckin' now, it's gon be a cold summer
Tua figlia sta scopando, sarà un'estate fredda
Your son trappin' and your homie givin' O's to him
Tuo figlio fa il trap e tuoi amici gli danno once di roba da spacciare
And if he fuck that paper up, he puttin' holes through him
E se fa qualche stronzata, gli spareranno
And you just wanna make it home, so you can show it to him
E vuoi solo tornare a casa, così glie lo pupi spiegare
And them people ain't finna give no parole to ya
Ma quella gente non vuole darti la libertà vigilata
They want blood, we all hangin' with a noose on our neck
Vogliono il sangue, abbiamo tutti il cappio al collo
My celly mom just died, he wanna use my collect
La madre del mio compagno di cella è morta, lui chiede di poter usare i miei soldi per chiamare
And he won't make it to the wake unless he give 'em a check
E non ce la farà ad andare alla veglia funebre, almeno che non dia un assegno a loro
We still niggas though, what you expect?
Siamo ancora fratelli, cosa ti aspetti?
I just won
Ora ho vinto
I was on the corner with the reefa
Ero lì all'angolo con una canna
And they got us warring for our freedom
E ci hanno fatto temere per la nostra libertà
See my brother blood on the pavement
Vedere il sangue di mio fratello sul marciapiede
How you wake up in the mornin' feelin' evil?
Come fai a svegliarti la mattina e sentirti malvagio?
Uhh, trauma
Uh, Trauma
When them drugs got a hold of your mama
Quando le medicine si impadroniscono di tua madre
And the judge got a hold on your father
E il giudice si impadronisce di tuo padre
Go to school, bullet holes in the locker
Vai a scuola e trovi buchi di pallottole sul tuo armadietto
Ain't no PTSDs, them drugs keep it at ease
Non è stress post-traumatico, le medicine lo tengono a bada
They shot that boy 20 times when they could've told him just freeze
Hanno sparato a quel ragazzino venti volte, mentre avrebbero potuto dirgli di fermarsi
Could've put him in a cop car, but they let him just bleed
Avrebbero potuto metterlo nella macchina della polizia, ma l'hanno lasciato a sanguinare
The ambulance, they coming baby, just breathe
L'ambulanza sta arrivando, respira
That's what the old lady said when she screamed
Questo è quello che la signora anziana ha detto quando ha gridato
This nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th
Sembrava l'incubo di Elm Street, Venerdì 13
And in the 13th amendment, it don't say that we kings
E il Tredicesimo emendamento non dice che siamo come re, fuori dalla merda
They say that we legally slaves if we go to the bing
Dice che siamo legalmente schiavi se andiamo in prigione
They told Kaep' stand up if you wanna play for a team
Hanno detto a Kaep' che deve stare in piedi se vuole continuare a giocare per la sua squadra
And all his teammates ain't saying a thing (Stay woke)
E i suoi compagni di squadra non dicono nulla
If you don't stand for nothing, you gon' fall for something
Se non stai in piedi per niente, cadrai sicuramente per qualcosa
And in the 60's, if you kneeled, you'd prolly be killed
E negli anni Sessanta se ti fossi inginocchiato, ti avrebbero probabilmente sparato
But they don't kill you now, they just take you out of your deal
Non ti uccidono ora, ti tolgono solamente il lavoro
Kill your account, look where money get spilled
Ti tolgono dal libro paga, guarda dove vanno i soldi
Check it, and they don't kill you now, they just take you out of your deal
Guarda, non ti uccidono ora, ti tolgono solamente il lavoro
Kill your account, look where money get spilled
Ti tolgono dal libro paga, guarda dove vanno i soldi

How many times you send me to jail to know that I won't fail
Quante volte mi devi mandare in carcere per capire che non cederò
Invisible shackles on the king, 'cause shit, I'm on bail
Catene invisibili sul re perché, merda, sono in libertà su cauzione
I went from selling out arenas, now shit, I'm on sale
Sono passato da fare sold out ai concerti a essere venduto in carcere
Them cold nights starting to feel like hell, uhh
Quelle notti fredde sembravano l'inferno
Watching a black woman take my freedom
Vedere una donna nera prendersi la mia libertà
Almost made me hate my people
Mi ha quasi fatto odiare la mia gente

Sono andato in tribunale per 11 anni sapendo che avrebbero potuto incarcerarmi o farmi impazzire
