Once An Addict (Interlude)
Jermaine Cole, Michal Urbaniak
Right, right, right, right
Something's got a hold on me
Right, right, right
Sometimes I think pain is just a lack of understanding
If we could only understand it all, would we feel no pain?
God must feel no pain
Something's got a hold on me
Only joy
Does this mean even our suffering pleases him?
Lost in a cloud of marijuana
Young Carolina nigga, fish out of water
Step-daddy just had a daughter with another woman
Mama ain't recover yet
Callin' me at 12 at night
She drunk as fuck and I'm upset
'Cause why she always using me for crutch?
Growin' up I used to always see her up
Late as shit, cigarette smoke and greatest hits from Marvin Gaye
She kill a whole bottle of some cheap chardonnay
I gotta leave this house 'cause part of me dies when I see her like this
Too young to deal with pain
I'd rather run the streets than see her kill herself
So 'Ville became my escape from a feelin' I hate
Mama cursing me out
Depression's such a villainous state
I used to stay out later on purpose
Subconsciously I was nervous that if I came home early then what would surface was her inner demons
And then I'd have to end up seein' my hero on ground zero
Tears flow while Al Green blow
Love and happiness
I wish that I could say the right words to cheer her up
I wish her son's love was enough
I tell her, "Mama, go to sleep"
She tell me "Boy, hush. You better pray to God you never get your heart crushed"
I shake my head in frustration
Head to my room and I can still hear the tunes with my door shut
Fuck it though, a couple more months I'll be gone
Off to college and dorms
Foolin' myself, thinkin' problems are gone
But now it's 1 AM and my mama dialin' my phone
I know she intoxicated and soon this high that I'm on comes crashin' down
She lit, talkin' drunk shit, I'm pissed
But I'm still all ears like Basset Hounds
Thinkin' to myself, "Maybe my mama need help
Don't she got work it the morning?
Why she do this to herself?
Hate how she slurrin' her words
Soundin' so fuckin' absurd
This ain't the woman I know, why I just sit and observe?
Why don't I say how I feel?
When I do, she's defensive for real
Well maybe things get better with time, I heard it heals
Little did I know how deep her sadness would go
Lookin' back, I wish I woulda did more instead of runnin'
Something's got a hold on me
I can't let it go
Out of fear I won't be free
Something's got a hold on me
I can't let it go
Out of fear I won't be
No!
Something's got a hold on me
I can't let it go
Right
Life can bring much pain
There are many ways to deal with this pain (right)
Choose wisely
Right, right, right, right
Richtig, richtig, richtig, richtig
Something's got a hold on me
Etwas hat mich im Griff
Right, right, right
Richtig, richtig, richtig
Sometimes I think pain is just a lack of understanding
Manchmal denke ich, Schmerz ist nur ein Mangel an Verständnis
If we could only understand it all, would we feel no pain?
Wenn wir nur alles verstehen könnten, würden wir dann keinen Schmerz fühlen?
God must feel no pain
Gott muss keinen Schmerz fühlen
Something's got a hold on me
Etwas hat mich im Griff
Only joy
Nur Freude
Does this mean even our suffering pleases him?
Bedeutet das, dass sogar unser Leiden ihm gefällt?

Young Carolina nigga, fish out of water
Junger Carolina Nigga, Fisch aus dem Wasser
Step-daddy just had a daughter with another woman
Stiefvater hat gerade eine Tochter mit einer anderen Frau
Mama ain't recover yet
Mama hat sich noch nicht erholt
Callin' me at 12 at night
Ruft mich um 12 Uhr nachts an
She drunk as fuck and I'm upset
Sie ist betrunken wie verrückt und ich bin verärgert
'Cause why she always using me for crutch?
Denn warum benutzt sie mich immer als Krücke?
Growin' up I used to always see her up
Als ich aufwuchs, sah ich sie immer auf
Late as shit, cigarette smoke and greatest hits from Marvin Gaye
Spät wie Scheiße, Zigarettenrauch und größte Hits von Marvin Gaye
She kill a whole bottle of some cheap chardonnay
Sie tötet eine ganze Flasche billigen Chardonnay
I gotta leave this house 'cause part of me dies when I see her like this
Ich muss dieses Haus verlassen, weil ein Teil von mir stirbt, wenn ich sie so sehe
Too young to deal with pain
Zu jung, um mit Schmerz umzugehen
I'd rather run the streets than see her kill herself
Ich würde lieber auf der Straße herumlaufen, als zu sehen, wie sie sich umbringt
So 'Ville became my escape from a feelin' I hate
So wurde 'Ville zu meiner Flucht vor einem Gefühl, das ich hasse
Mama cursing me out
Mama beschimpft mich
Depression's such a villainous state
Depression ist ein so schurkischer Zustand
I used to stay out later on purpose
Ich blieb absichtlich länger draußen
Subconsciously I was nervous that if I came home early then what would surface was her inner demons
Unterbewusst hatte ich Angst, dass, wenn ich früher nach Hause käme, was dann zum Vorschein käme, ihre inneren Dämonen wären
And then I'd have to end up seein' my hero on ground zero
Und dann müsste ich am Ende sehen, wie mein Held auf Ground Zero liegt
Tears flow while Al Green blow
Tränen fließen, während Al Green bläst
Love and happiness
Liebe und Glück
I wish that I could say the right words to cheer her up
Ich wünschte, ich könnte die richtigen Worte finden, um sie aufzuheitern
I wish her son's love was enough
Ich wünschte, die Liebe ihres Sohnes wäre genug
I tell her, "Mama, go to sleep"
Ich sage ihr: "Mama, geh schlafen"
She tell me "Boy, hush. You better pray to God you never get your heart crushed"
Sie sagt mir: "Junge, halt den Mund. Du solltest besser zu Gott beten, dass dein Herz nie gebrochen wird"
I shake my head in frustration
Ich schüttle meinen Kopf vor Frustration
Head to my room and I can still hear the tunes with my door shut
Gehe in mein Zimmer und ich kann die Melodien immer noch hören, auch wenn meine Tür geschlossen ist
Fuck it though, a couple more months I'll be gone
Scheiß drauf, in ein paar Monaten bin ich weg
Off to college and dorms
Ab ins College und in die Schlafsäle
Foolin' myself, thinkin' problems are gone
Ich mache mir selbst etwas vor, denke, die Probleme sind weg
But now it's 1 AM and my mama dialin' my phone
Aber jetzt ist es 1 Uhr morgens und meine Mama wählt meine Telefonnummer
I know she intoxicated and soon this high that I'm on comes crashin' down
Ich weiß, sie ist betrunken und bald kommt dieser Rausch, den ich habe, krachend runter
She lit, talkin' drunk shit, I'm pissed
Sie ist angezündet, redet betrunkenen Scheiß, ich bin sauer
But I'm still all ears like Basset Hounds
Aber ich bin immer noch ganz Ohr wie Basset Hounds
Thinkin' to myself, "Maybe my mama need help
Denke bei mir selbst: "Vielleicht braucht meine Mama Hilfe
Don't she got work it the morning?
Muss sie nicht morgens zur Arbeit?
Why she do this to herself?
Warum tut sie sich das an?
Hate how she slurrin' her words
Hasse es, wie sie ihre Worte verschluckt
Soundin' so fuckin' absurd
Klingt so verdammt absurd
This ain't the woman I know, why I just sit and observe?
Das ist nicht die Frau, die ich kenne, warum sitze ich nur da und beobachte?
Why don't I say how I feel?
Warum sage ich nicht, wie ich mich fühle?
When I do, she's defensive for real
Wenn ich es tue, ist sie wirklich defensiv
Well maybe things get better with time, I heard it heals
Nun, vielleicht wird es mit der Zeit besser, ich habe gehört, es heilt
Little did I know how deep her sadness would go
Ich wusste nicht, wie tief ihre Traurigkeit gehen würde
Lookin' back, I wish I woulda did more instead of runnin'
Im Nachhinein wünschte ich, ich hätte mehr getan, anstatt wegzulaufen
Something's got a hold on me
Etwas hat mich im Griff
I can't let it go
Ich kann es nicht loslassen
Out of fear I won't be free
Aus Angst, ich werde nicht frei sein
Something's got a hold on me
Etwas hat mich im Griff
I can't let it go
Ich kann es nicht loslassen
Out of fear I won't be

Mama ain't recover yet
Mamma non si è ancora ripresa
Callin' me at 12 at night
Mi chiama a mezzanotte
She drunk as fuck and I'm upset
È ubriaca fradicia e io sono sconvolto

Crescendo la vedevo sempre su

I wish that I could say the right words to cheer her up
Vorrei poter dire le parole giuste per rallegrarla
I wish her son's love was enough

Che se ne frega, tra un paio di mesi me ne andrò
Off to college and dorms
Fuori per il college e i dormitori
Foolin' myself, thinkin' problems are gone
Ingannando me stesso, pensando che i problemi se ne siano andati
But now it's 1 AM and my mama dialin' my phone
Ma ora è l'1 del mattino e mia mamma sta componendo il mio numero

This ain't the woman I know, why I just sit and observe?
Questa non è la donna che conosco, perché mi limito a osservare?
Why don't I say how I feel?
Perché non dico come mi sento?
When I do, she's defensive for real
Quando lo faccio, è davvero difensiva
Well maybe things get better with time, I heard it heals
Beh, forse le cose migliorano con il tempo, ho sentito che guarisce
Little did I know how deep her sadness would go
Poco sapevo quanto profonda sarebbe andata la sua tristezza
Lookin' back, I wish I woulda did more instead of runnin'
Guardando indietro, vorrei aver fatto di più invece di scappare

I can't let it go
Non riesco a lasciarlo andare
Out of fear I won't be free
Per paura di non essere libero

I can't let it go
Non riesco a lasciarlo andare
