Let's talk 'bout hard times, real bottom boy survivor
Way before the jewelry, the groupie hoes, and designer
Back when I was tryna find a way for all my partners
Rema hit the window, popped the door for me and Lijah
'Member wakin' up with no destination
But I had some dedication, couldn't use my education
'Cause no nine dollars could help me face what I was facing
My light bill due, envelope blue, that mean you behind on payments
Rap slowed down and I was low on cash
Fresh out of high school, kicked out the house for living fast
Went and got a spot, then got a job, 'cause pops was on my ass
Then that's when pops had went to jail so it didn't last
Hit the block with Brock 'cause I was tryna pay my bills
Like fuck a rap career, let's touch these streets and make a mil'
Fast forward, like Rod Wave, tell me how you feel
When I think about my past, that shit give me chills, uh
Wake up in the morning, hit my knees, and I pray

Yola cooked down to the oil in it, don't switch around

Let's talk 'bout hard times, real bottom boy survivor
Parliamo dei tempi difficili, sono un vero sopravvissuto dei bassifondi
Way before the jewelry, the groupie hoes, and designer
Molto prima dei gioielli, delle groupie, e dei vestiti firmati
Back when I was tryna find a way for all my partners
Quando cercavo il modo di far entrare tutti i miei compagni
Rema hit the window, popped the door for me and Lijah
Rema ha colpito la finestra e ha aperto la porta a me e Lijah
'Member wakin' up with no destination
Mi ricordo che andavo avanti senza meta
But I had some dedication, couldn't use my education
Ma avevo dedizione, non potevo usare la mia educazione
'Cause no nine dollars could help me face what I was facing
Perché in nessun modo nove dollari mi avrebbero potuto aiutare ad affrontare ciò che stavo affrontando
My light bill due, envelope blue, that mean you behind on payments
La bolletta della luce scaduta, la busta blu, significa che sei in ritardo con i pagamenti
Rap slowed down and I was low on cash
Il rap stava rallentando e io ero a corto di soldi
Fresh out of high school, kicked out the house for living fast
Da poco finite le superiori, mi hanno cacciato di casa perché mi mettevo nei guai
Went and got a spot, then got a job, 'cause pops was on my ass
Mi sono trovato un posto dove stare, ho trovato un lavoro perché mio padre mi stava addosso
Then that's when pops had went to jail so it didn't last
Poi mio padre è dovuto andare in prigione, quindi non è durato
Hit the block with Brock 'cause I was tryna pay my bills
Sono andato nel quartiere con Brock perché dovevo cercare di pagare le bollette
Like fuck a rap career, let's touch these streets and make a mil'
Tipo, fanculo la carriera nel rap, tocchiamo la strada e facciamo un milione
Fast forward, like Rod Wave, tell me how you feel
Manda avanti, tipo Rod Wave, dimmi come ti senti
When I think about my past, that shit give me chills, uh
Quando penso al mio passato mi vengono i brividi, uh
Wake up in the morning, hit my knees, and I pray
Quando mi sveglio la mattina mi metto in ginocchio e prego
Because He finally made a way
Perché Lui finalmente ha trovato una strada per me
I been runnin' up that paper, mama
Sto facendo i soldi, mamma

I'm gon' die in these Cuban links (bangers again)
Io morirò con addosso questa catena cubana (ancora criminali)
Die in these Cuban links (right now today, let's go)
Morirò con addosso questa catena cubana (ora, oggi, andiamo)
Die in these Cuban links (yes, Lord)
Morirò con addosso questa catena cubana (sì, Signore)
All my life it been a struggle
Tutta la mia vita è stata una lotta
You on and fall off, you find out who really love you
Ci sei sopra e poi cadi, scopri chi veramente ti ama
Playin' in the storm drain, came out the gutter
Giocando nelle pozzanghere dopo il temporale, sono uscito dai bassifondi
Good relationships, I admit I had a couple
Buone conoscenze, ammetto di averne avute un paio
Making love to the money, me and bae lil' couple
Facendo l'amore con i soldi, io e la piccola, siamo una coppietta
Yola cooked down to the oil in it, don't switch around

Havin' my lil' way, ghetto pussy used to act funny
Ho i miei mezzi, la troietta del quartiere si comportava in modo strano
Now I'm hittin' her hard from the back, she throw it back for me
Ora la scopo forte da dietro, butta fuori il culo per me
And when I went to jail, shawty left, turned her back on me
E quando sono andato in prigione, la piccola se ne è andata, mi ha voltato le spalle
Flexin' on they ass, pants sag with them racks on 'em
Si vantano del loro culo, i pantaloni scendono con il peso delle mazzette da mille dollari
Wake up in the morning, hit my knees, and I pray
Quando mi sveglio la mattina mi metto in ginocchio e prego
Because He finally made a way
Perché Lui finalmente ha trovato una strada per me
I been runnin' up that paper, mama
Sto facendo i soldi, mamma

Rema hit the window, popped the door for me and Lijah
O Rema bateu na janela, abriu a porta para mim e Lijah
'Member wakin' up with no destination
Me lembro acordando sem destino
But I had some dedication, couldn't use my education

'Cause no nine dollars could help me face what I was facing
Porque nenhum dinheiro podia me ajudar a encarar o que eu estava encarando
My light bill due, envelope blue, that mean you behind on payments
Minha fatura da luz venceu, envelope azul, isso significa que estou atrasado com os pagamentos
Rap slowed down and I was low on cash
O rap deu uma desacelerada e eu estava com pouco dinheiro
