Well respected in this hip-hop, lil' Polo be spittin' facts
A lot of rappers doin' way more stuntin' than givin' back
You ain't my color, then you don't know the struggle of livin' black
Cops kill us and we protest, what type of shit is that?
Man, if the police shoot at one of my brothers, I'm blickin' back
We hate each other so we just wanna score and go tit for tat
All these shorties want is points, they ain't chasin' a different stat
Really riskin' it all, what's the point when that nigga rap?
We seventeen, got forty years in the court when we gettin' cracked
Stuck in the system, they just watchin' us fail while layin' back
The government cuttin' checks but can't cut a nigga some slack
It's hard to get a job so we hustlin', flip a pack
It's all a set-up, no wonder why they call this bitch a trap
Life was messed up, a matter of time 'til that nigga snap
Post traumatic stress and them triggers keep gettin' tapped
R.I.P. Malcolm, I promise to conquer and fill them gaps
Them corners leave a nigga boxed in, tryna break free
Crazy how I love the same block that tried to break me
Pray that I ain't in my own hood when they take me
This how we know a life of peace, what we can't see
I'm from where we unheard and we can't speak
We go to school, they try to tell us what we can't be
Profit with a billion dollar mind like I'm JAY-Z
They killed Martin for dreamin' and now I can't sleep
Why would the Devil take my brother if he close to me?
Now if you scared, take my soul, you see my bros in me
We missin' you man, this ain't how this shit supposed to be
Feel like I'm stuck, I wish them streets never proposed to me
Out there posted in the field with them soldiers deep
So now the other side wanna put a hole in me
Like every day might be the end of the road for me
We die young so I couldn't picture an older me
Fightin' demons, like them drugs take control of me
I let my head go and kill what they told to me
'Member we ain't have a thing, same clothes for weeks
Hardbody, that's how them situations molded me
Needed money and grew accustomed to this fast life
Pressure from this way of livin', so we blast pipes
Shit got me stressin' three hundred and sixty-five nights
Them people workin' against us like we don't have rights
It don't matter what this money and this fame can give
I've been hurtin', tryna smile through the pain and tears
Wish we could go back to them days when we played as kids
A lot of shit changed, that's just the way it is
That's just (that's just the way it is)
Some things'll never (some things'll never change)

You finally made it big brother
Tu as finalement réussi grand frère
You're the G.O.A.T.
Tu es le G.O.A.T.
Well respected in this hip-hop, lil' Polo be spittin' facts
Hoch angesehen in diesem Hip-Hop, spuckt der kleine Polo Fakten aus
A lot of rappers doin' way more stuntin' than givin' back
Viele Rapper tun viel mehr prahlen als zurückgeben
You ain't my color, then you don't know the struggle of livin' black
Du bist nicht meine Farbe, dann kennst du den Kampf des schwarzen Lebens nicht
Cops kill us and we protest, what type of shit is that?
Polizisten töten uns und wir protestieren, was für ein Scheiß ist das?
Man, if the police shoot at one of my brothers, I'm blickin' back
Mann, wenn die Polizei auf einen meiner Brüder schießt, schieße ich zurück
We hate each other so we just wanna score and go tit for tat
Wir hassen einander, also wollen wir nur punkten und Gleiches mit Gleichem vergelten
All these shorties want is points, they ain't chasin' a different stat
Alles, was diese Kurzen wollen, sind Punkte, sie jagen keine anderen Statistiken
Really riskin' it all, what's the point when that nigga rap?
Wirklich alles riskieren, was ist der Punkt, wenn dieser Nigga rappt?
We seventeen, got forty years in the court when we gettin' cracked
Wir sind siebzehn, haben vierzig Jahre vor Gericht, wenn wir erwischt werden
Stuck in the system, they just watchin' us fail while layin' back
Gefangen im System, sie beobachten uns nur beim Scheitern und lehnen sich zurück
The government cuttin' checks but can't cut a nigga some slack
Die Regierung schneidet Schecks, aber kann einem Nigga keine Pause gönnen
It's hard to get a job so we hustlin', flip a pack
Es ist schwer, einen Job zu bekommen, also dealen wir, drehen ein Päckchen um
It's all a set-up, no wonder why they call this bitch a trap
Es ist alles eine Falle, kein Wunder, dass sie diese Schlampe eine Falle nennen
Life was messed up, a matter of time 'til that nigga snap
Das Leben war durcheinander, nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis dieser Nigga durchdreht
Post traumatic stress and them triggers keep gettin' tapped
Posttraumatischer Stress und diese Auslöser werden immer wieder betätigt
R.I.P. Malcolm, I promise to conquer and fill them gaps
R.I.P. Malcolm, ich verspreche, die Lücken zu füllen und zu erobern
Them corners leave a nigga boxed in, tryna break free
Diese Ecken lassen einen Nigga eingesperrt, versuchen zu befreien
Crazy how I love the same block that tried to break me
Verrückt, wie ich den gleichen Block liebe, der versucht hat, mich zu brechen
Pray that I ain't in my own hood when they take me
Ich bete, dass ich nicht in meiner eigenen Hood bin, wenn sie mich holen
This how we know a life of peace, what we can't see
So kennen wir ein Leben in Frieden, was wir nicht sehen können
I'm from where we unheard and we can't speak
Ich komme von dort, wo wir ungehört und wir können nicht sprechen
We go to school, they try to tell us what we can't be
Wir gehen zur Schule, sie versuchen uns zu sagen, was wir nicht sein können
Profit with a billion dollar mind like I'm JAY-Z
Profit mit einem Milliarden-Dollar-Verstand wie JAY-Z
They killed Martin for dreamin' and now I can't sleep
Sie haben Martin fürs Träumen getötet und jetzt kann ich nicht schlafen
Why would the Devil take my brother if he close to me?
Warum sollte der Teufel meinen Bruder nehmen, wenn er mir nahe ist?
Now if you scared, take my soul, you see my bros in me
Jetzt, wenn du Angst hast, nimm meine Seele, du siehst meine Brüder in mir
We missin' you man, this ain't how this shit supposed to be
Wir vermissen dich, Mann, so sollte das nicht sein
Feel like I'm stuck, I wish them streets never proposed to me
Ich fühle mich festgefahren, ich wünschte, diese Straßen hätten mir nie einen Antrag gemacht
Out there posted in the field with them soldiers deep
Draußen auf dem Feld mit den Soldaten tief
So now the other side wanna put a hole in me
Also will die andere Seite jetzt ein Loch in mich machen
Like every day might be the end of the road for me
Als ob jeder Tag das Ende der Straße für mich sein könnte
We die young so I couldn't picture an older me
Wir sterben jung, also konnte ich mir kein älteres Ich vorstellen
Fightin' demons, like them drugs take control of me
Kämpfe gegen Dämonen, als ob die Drogen die Kontrolle über mich übernehmen
I let my head go and kill what they told to me
Ich lasse meinen Kopf los und töte, was sie mir gesagt haben
'Member we ain't have a thing, same clothes for weeks
Erinnere dich, wir hatten nichts, dieselben Klamotten für Wochen
Hardbody, that's how them situations molded me
Hart im Nehmen, so haben mich diese Situationen geformt
Needed money and grew accustomed to this fast life
Brauchte Geld und gewöhnte mich an dieses schnelle Leben
Pressure from this way of livin', so we blast pipes
Druck von dieser Lebensweise, also zünden wir Rohre an
Shit got me stressin' three hundred and sixty-five nights
Scheiße lässt mich 365 Nächte stressen
Them people workin' against us like we don't have rights
Diese Leute arbeiten gegen uns, als hätten wir keine Rechte
It don't matter what this money and this fame can give
Es ist egal, was dieses Geld und dieser Ruhm geben können
I've been hurtin', tryna smile through the pain and tears
Ich habe Schmerzen, versuche durch den Schmerz und die Tränen zu lächeln
Wish we could go back to them days when we played as kids
Wünschte, wir könnten zu den Tagen zurückkehren, als wir als Kinder spielten
A lot of shit changed, that's just the way it is
Vieles hat sich geändert, so ist es eben
That's just (that's just the way it is)
So ist es eben (so ist es eben)
Some things'll never (some things'll never change)
Einige Dinge werden nie (einige Dinge werden nie ändern)
Oh, oh, that's just the way it is (way it is)
Oh, oh, so ist es eben (so ist es)
The way it is (ooh)
So ist es (ooh)
That's just, that's just the way it is (the way it is)
So ist es, so ist es eben (so ist es)
Some things'll never (some things'll never change)
Einige Dinge werden nie (einige Dinge werden nie ändern)
Yeah, that's just the way it is (way it is)
Ja, so ist es eben (so ist es)
The way it is (yeah)
So ist es (ja)
Never, never (ayy)
Nie, nie (ayy)
Some things will never change (some things will never change)
Einige Dinge werden nie ändern (einige Dinge werden nie ändern)
Never, never (ooh)
Nie, nie (ooh)
Some things will never change
Einige Dinge werden nie ändern
Mm-mm-mm-mm

You finally made it big brother
Du hast es endlich geschafft, großer Bruder
You're the G.O.A.T.
Du bist der G.O.A.T.
[Перевод песни Polo G - Wishing For a Hero]
[Куплет: Polo G]
Не последний человек в хип-хопе – lil' Polo, сейчас выдаст вам пару фактов
Большинство рэперов сейчас только понтуются, не уважают аудиторию
У тебя не мой цвет кожи, ты не знаешь, каково это – страдать, живя чёрной жизнью
Копы убивают нас, мы протестуем, чё за дерьмо вообще происходит?
Мужик, если полиция подстрелит кого-то из моих братьев, я не буду молчать, отвечу
Мы ненавидим друг друга, здесь всегда господствует принцип "око за око"
Все девочки сейчас хотят быстрых денег, они не пытаются достичь чего-то сами
В чём вообще смысл быть крысой? Это слишком рискованно
Нам всего по семнадцать лет, когда нас ловят и выносят приговор на сорок
Мы словно застряли в системе, а все они развалились на креслах и наблюдают за нашими неудачами
Правительство всегда при деньгах, но мы не позволим ослабить нас
Здесь тяжело найти работу, так что нам приходится вкалывать, как можем
Наша жизнь уже предопределена, так чему удивляться, когда все называют эту суку западнёй?
Никуда от неё не убежишь, это лишь вопрос времени, когда ниггер сломается, не сможет идти дальше
Посттравматический стресс, и он жмёт на курок
R.I.P. Малькольм, я обещаю, что мы добьёмся своего, мы заполним все пробелы
Эти улицы не выпускают ниггера, запирают его, нужно выбираться отсюда
Это забавно: я влюблён в свой район, но он пытается сломать меня
Молюсь Богу о том, чтобы не нарваться на кого-нибудь, когда иду по чужому блоку
Наша жизнь – это всё, что у нас есть, пытаемся жить мирно, но никак не выходит
Я из того места, где тебя не услышат, и где всем затыкают рты
Мы ходим в школу, где нам говорят, что мы не сможем добиться
Состояния в миллиард долларов, как у JAY-Z
Они убили Мартина просто за то, что он мечтал, и теперь я не могу спать
За что дьявол забрал моего брата? Я так его любил
Лучше бы он забрал мою душу, всегда готов отдать её за своих братьев
Нам не хватает тебя, чувак, всё не должно было так сложиться
Чувствую, что застрял в этом дерьме, хотел бы я никогда не ввязываться в эти уличные дела
Куча парней захоронено на кладбище, так много, словно это солдаты с какой-то войны
Но наши войны не утихают, кто-то по-прежнему хочет меня пристрелить
Каждый день может стать для меня концом пути
Мы умираем молодыми, так что я даже не могу представить себя в старости
Демоны берут верх надо мной, позволяю наркотикам захватить себя
Они в моей голове, говорят мне пойти и убить кого-то
Я помню времена, когда у нас ничё не было, таскали всё те же шмотки неделями
Теперь я стал жёстче, жизнь сильно изменила меня
Нам всегда нужны были деньги, и мы привыкли к этой быстротечной жизни
Этот стиль жизни давит на нас, вот мы и пытаемся рассказать о себе
Я из-за всего этого дерьма парюсь все 365 ночей в году
А кто-то по-прежнему работает против нас, хочет извести, хочет лишить нас последних прав
Мы все одинаковые, куча денег и слава тебе ничего не дают
Мне было дерьмово, но я всегда старался улыбаться через боль и слёзы
Хотел бы я сейчас вернуться в то время, когда играл с пацанами ещё ребёнком
Куча дерьма поменялась, всё так, как оно есть
[Припев: BJ The Chicago Kid]
Просто (Просто так оно и есть)
Некоторые вещи никогда (Некоторые вещи никогда не изменятся)
Оу, оу, всё просто так, как оно есть (Как оно есть)
Как оно есть (О-оу)
Просто (Просто так оно и есть)
Некоторые вещи никогда (Некоторые вещи никогда не изменятся, нет-нет-нет-нет-нет)
Йеа, всё просто так, как оно есть (Как оно есть)
Как оно есть (Йеа)
[Аутро: BJ The Chicago Kid & Leia]
Никогда, никогда (Эй)
Некоторые вещи никогда не изменятся (Некоторые вещи никогда не изменятся)
Никогда, никогда (Нет, всё просто так, как оно есть)
Некоторые вещи никогда не изменятся
Ммм-ммм-ммм-ммм
Ммм-ммм-ммм
Ммм-ммм-ммм-ммм
Ммм-ммм-ммм
Ты наконец-то сделал это, большой братик
Теперь ты стал лучшим рэпером когда-либо
