You and my mama was a mess, you both met on the church scene (yeah)
What happened next had preacher and singer beggin' for mercy
Three sons in three years, hot damn, get my mom off the gurney
Calm off the ganja, but in the eighties they gave us guns and a drug meant to spawn our destruction
They locked you up for robbin' Peter, so Paul give you substance
It was all in God's plan 'cause Sir Davion and Dan got accustomed to ruckus, fear no man
Hear no evil, take your chance

When I came home, the most important thing to me was to be a father to my sons
Uh, I did also feel I had a unrepayable debt to my wife for holdin' on
For not replacing me, you know, not lettin' my sons call another man daddy
And so even being good to them is being good to her
Uh, I enjoy the fact that, you know, we made a mutual decision for me to stay home with the boys
And, um, she was free to pursue her career
In music, you know, that year she sang with, with Michael Jackson
Uh, Gladys Knight, you know, a lot of the OG, uh, singers and stuff
And she did well, she even made a, a M&M's commercial that we lived off of
With the royalties and stuff
But that was the thing, I, I needed to fulfill that promise
That I wouldn't abandon my sons like I got abandoned
Yeah, uh
Ja, äh
Suit and tie, I'm super fly

Wir waren nur einige Ninjas im Wald, du Meister Splinter
Thought I could get away wit', you caught me masturbatin'
Dachte, ich könnte damit durchkommen, du hast mich beim Masturbieren erwischt
Didn't get mad, you just laughed and helped me master datin'
Wurdest nicht wütend, hast nur gelacht und mir geholfen, das Daten zu meistern
All the game you gave 'em helped, that boy go slay 'em, though
All das Spiel, das du ihnen gegeben hast, hat geholfen, dieser Junge wird sie besiegen
That reputation as a player, ho, start layin' low
Dieser Ruf als Spieler, ho, fang an, dich zu verstecken
Kamehameha, you was Goku, Super Saiyan, pro

Locked up for that rock stuff, we was livin'
Eingesperrt für diesen Rock-Kram, den wir gelebt haben

Gefängnis-Liegestütze für deine Brust und dann waren es Burpees (Burpees)
And when you flex, you could set a cup on your chest
Und wenn du dich aufblähst, könntest du eine Tasse auf deine Brust stellen
Plus, you had women of every shade showin' interest
Außerdem hattest du Frauen jeder Farbe, die Interesse zeigten

Was danach passierte, hatte Prediger und Sänger um Gnade betteln
Three sons in three years, hot damn, get my mom off the gurney
Drei Söhne in drei Jahren, verdammt noch mal, hol meine Mutter von der Trage
Calm off the ganja, but in the eighties they gave us guns and a drug meant to spawn our destruction
Beruhigt von der Ganja, aber in den Achtzigern gaben sie uns Waffen und eine Droge, die unsere Zerstörung verursachen sollte
They locked you up for robbin' Peter, so Paul give you substance
Sie sperrten dich ein, weil du Peter ausgeraubt hast, also gibt dir Paul Substanz
It was all in God's plan 'cause Sir Davion and Dan got accustomed to ruckus, fear no man
Es war alles in Gottes Plan, denn Sir Davion und Dan haben sich an das Chaos gewöhnt, fürchten keinen Mann
Hear no evil, take your chance
Höre kein Übel, nutze deine Chance
Shoot your shot, and if they talkin' shit, take off
Schieße deinen Schuss ab, und wenn sie Scheiße reden, hau ab
And if you fightin', try not to get caught
Und wenn du kämpfst, versuche nicht erwischt zu werden
And if they catch you, don't say shit 'bout who you wit' because you might get off
Und wenn sie dich erwischen, sag nichts über die, mit denen du zusammen bist, denn du könntest davonkommen
It's a cold, cold world waitin' for you, black boy (boy)
Es ist eine kalte, kalte Welt, die auf dich wartet, schwarzer Junge (Junge)
But you stay optimistic and loyal, ask for (for)
Aber du bleibst optimistisch und loyal, frag nach (nach)
Exactly what you want and God'll give it to you
Genau das, was du willst, und Gott wird es dir geben
I done my time and now it's yours, I'm 'bout to live it through you

I'll pull up in a Caddy
Ich komme in einem Caddy vorbei
Yeah, I'm your daddy, I'm proud to be your daddy
Ja, ich bin dein Vater, ich bin stolz, dein Vater zu sein
Won't leave you like my daddy did
Ich werde dich nicht verlassen, wie mein Vater es getan hat
When I came home, the most important thing to me was to be a father to my sons
Als ich nach Hause kam, war das Wichtigste für mich, ein Vater für meine Söhne zu sein
Uh, I did also feel I had a unrepayable debt to my wife for holdin' on
Äh, ich hatte auch das Gefühl, dass ich meiner Frau eine unersetzliche Schuld schuldete, weil sie durchgehalten hat
For not replacing me, you know, not lettin' my sons call another man daddy
Weil sie mich nicht ersetzt hat, weißt du, nicht meinen Söhnen erlaubt hat, einen anderen Mann Papa zu nennen
And so even being good to them is being good to her
Und so ist es auch gut für sie, wenn ich gut zu ihnen bin
Uh, I enjoy the fact that, you know, we made a mutual decision for me to stay home with the boys
Äh, ich genieße die Tatsache, dass, weißt du, wir gemeinsam entschieden haben, dass ich zu Hause bei den Jungen bleibe
And, um, she was free to pursue her career
Und, äh, sie war frei, ihre Karriere zu verfolgen
In music, you know, that year she sang with, with Michael Jackson
In der Musik, weißt du, in diesem Jahr sang sie mit, mit Michael Jackson
Uh, Gladys Knight, you know, a lot of the OG, uh, singers and stuff
Äh, Gladys Knight, weißt du, viele der OG, äh, Sänger und so
And she did well, she even made a, a M&M's commercial that we lived off of
Und sie hat es gut gemacht, sie hat sogar einen, einen M&M's-Werbespot gemacht, von dem wir gelebt haben
With the royalties and stuff
Mit den Tantiemen und so
But that was the thing, I, I needed to fulfill that promise
Aber das war die Sache, ich, ich musste dieses Versprechen erfüllen
That I wouldn't abandon my sons like I got abandoned
Dass ich meine Söhne nicht im Stich lassen würde, wie ich im Stich gelassen wurde.
Yeah, uh
Yeah, uh
Suit and tie, I'm super fly

Não ficou bravo, apenas riu e me ajudou a melhorar nos encontros
All the game you gave 'em helped, that boy go slay 'em, though
Todos os conselhos que você deu ajudaram, aquele rapaz foi lá e arrasou

And if they catch you, don't say shit 'bout who you wit' because you might get off
E se te pegarem, não fale nada sobre com quem você está, porque você pode sair ileso
It's a cold, cold world waitin' for you, black boy (boy)
É um mundo frio, frio esperando por você, garoto negro (garoto)
But you stay optimistic and loyal, ask for (for)
