Pull up in motorcades, I got a show today
Fahr vor in Autokorsos, ich habe heute eine Show
It's all I'm tryna do, hustle and motivate
Das ist alles, was ich versuche zu tun, kämpfen und motivieren
Choppers a throwaway, hustle the Hova way
Hubschrauber zum Wegwerfen, kämpfen auf die Hova Art
That's why they follow me, huh, they think I know the way
Deshalb folgen sie mir, huh, sie denken, ich kenne den Weg
'Cause I took control of things, balling the solo way
Weil ich die Kontrolle übernommen habe, spiele alleine
And if you pattern my trend, I'll make you my protege
Und wenn du meinem Trend folgst, mache ich dich zu meinem Protegé
Slauson Ave. Soldier raised, niggas don't know them days
Aufgewachsen als Soldat auf der Slauson Ave., Niggas kennen diese Tage nicht
Take you in back of the buildings, make you expose your rage
Bring dich hinter die Gebäude, lass deinen Zorn zeigen
Take you across the tracks, make you explode a face
Bring dich über die Gleise, lass ein Gesicht explodieren
Now you official now, but you got a soul to save
Jetzt bist du offiziell, aber du hast eine Seele zu retten
I just been cooking that new, I'm 'bout to drop in a few
Ich habe gerade das Neue gekocht, ich werde in Kürze fallen lassen
Think if I call it the great, the people gon' call it the truth
Denke, wenn ich es das Große nenne, werden die Leute es die Wahrheit nennen
Ain't really trip on the credit, I just paid all of my dues
Habe wirklich nicht auf die Anerkennung geachtet, ich habe alle meine Schulden bezahlt
I just respected the game, now my name all in the news
Ich habe das Spiel respektiert, jetzt ist mein Name in den Nachrichten
Tripping on all of my moves, quote me on this, got a lot more to prove
Stolpere über all meine Bewegungen, zitiere mich darauf, ich habe noch viel zu beweisen
Remember I came in this bitch, fresh out the county with nothing to lose
Erinnere dich, ich kam in diese Schlampe, frisch aus dem County mit nichts zu verlieren
Nigga I don't do this for nothing, no
Nigga, ich mache das nicht umsonst, nein

Ich habe ihr gesagt, dass ich es habe, ja
So I don't do this shit for nothing, not at all
Also mache ich diese Scheiße nicht umsonst, überhaupt nicht

Back in this bitch like I never left
Zurück in dieser Schlampe, als hätte ich nie verlassen
Stand for some shit that you never rep
Steh für etwas ein, das du nie repräsentiert hast
Passing through stages in life, through the ups and downs
Durchlaufe Phasen im Leben, durch die Höhen und Tiefen
Like it's all just another test
Als wäre es nur ein weiterer Test
Live by the rules like a fucking ref
Lebe nach den Regeln wie ein verdammter Schiedsrichter
I got respect in a hundred sets
Ich habe Respekt in hundert Sets
Too many chains, need another chest
Zu viele Ketten, brauche eine weitere Brust
Playing no games if it wasn't chess
Spiele keine Spiele, wenn es kein Schach war
Cut from that cloth that you couldn't stretch
Geschnitten aus dem Stoff, den du nicht dehnen konntest
Cut from that serpent you couldn't test
Geschnitten von der Schlange, die du nicht testen konntest
Heavily pressured and under stressed
Stark unter Druck und gestresst
Even though niggas ain't show up, it was a mess
Auch wenn Niggas nicht aufgetaucht sind, war es ein Durcheinander
Honest and template to the left
Ehrlich und Vorlage nach links
Judge a young nigga by they address
Beurteile einen jungen Nigga nach seiner Adresse
Left us no option, what they expect?
Haben uns keine Option gelassen, was erwarten sie?
Only thing we knew for sure was to bang the set
Das Einzige, was wir sicher wussten, war, die Bande zu knallen
Fuck living basic, I'm taking risks
Fick das einfache Leben, ich gehe Risiken ein
Fuck what they saying, I'm saying this
Fick was sie sagen, ich sage das
Don't waste your time, it don't make you rich, it don't mean nothing
Verschwende deine Zeit nicht, es macht dich nicht reich, es bedeutet nichts
So fuck 'em so let's make a grip
Also fick sie, lass uns einen Griff machen
Double up, triple up, make assist
Verdopple, verdreifache, assistiere
Balling so hard, you could play your bitch
So hart spielen, dass du deine Schlampe spielen könntest
Lead to the lake, if they wanna fish
Führe zum See, wenn sie fischen wollen
Make sure them niggas around you stick to the script
Stelle sicher, dass die Niggas um dich herum sich an das Skript halten
This should be written in stone
Das sollte in Stein gemeißelt sein
You should come visit my zone
Du solltest meine Zone besuchen
Don't take my word, double check all of my flows
Glaube nicht meinem Wort, überprüfe alle meine Flows
Ask 'em how Hussle got on, but fuck what you heard
Frag sie, wie Hussle es geschafft hat, aber fick was du gehört hast
This is for everybody who walked down that road
Das ist für alle, die diesen Weg gegangen sind
Sold everything but they soul
Haben alles verkauft, außer ihrer Seele
Straight off the curb, real niggas rich as you nerds
Direkt vom Bordstein, echte Niggas reich wie ihr Nerds
