Yeah, you already know what it is (Swerve)
It's noisy off the set path
How can I make choices I've yet to discover we have?
Must need rehab
If you think you know me from the facets they show these folks to get money, I gotta laugh
How funny it is you don't realize the skill lies in knowing within the truth there's still lies
It's called being civilized
But not to trivialize your belief in the semi-fictionalized
I am who you see
What you hear is part of me
But there's so much more to me
So much more to be than just alive
A son, a brother, a husband, a father
But still can go even farther
With sheer will, can go harder
In that time, I went the hardest
More than this generic term: artist
A reality smith, you love my craftsmanship
Because I craft some shit to make my people proud
And so I speak aloud, but not loud enough yet
Or as loud as I can get
They think I ain't a threat
But all preconceived notions, I've arrived
To Offset
I was 17 years old when I had you (When I had you)
Tryna find my soul when I had you (When I had you)
I was oh so broke when I had you (When I had you)
Locked up down the road when I had you (When I had you)
Jordan, sorry I wasn't there for all your birthdays
I tried to hit, I wasn't rich, and had no workplace
My son Kody, he three, rappin' already like me
Ridin' in the car, you don't play me, then he gon' scream
Kalia, you my first, first daughter
I missed the first years of your life, I'm sorry
Tell the truth, I ain't really know if I was your father
Tell the truth, I really don't even know your mama
But I had to step up, my daddy had left us
Even though we gotta catch up, pray to God that he bless us
I'ma keep grindin' for my kids, never gon' let up
I'ma put the money up for y'all, I can't be selfish
Had a baby as a kid, mama kicked me out
Had to go and hit a lick, tryna put food in your mouth
Then I got caught for the shit, in the pen when she pushed you out
Your mama tried to push me down, ain't let me stay at the house
I was 17 years old when I had you (When I had you)
Tryna find my soul when I had you (When I had you)
I was oh so broke when I had you (When I had you)
Locked up down the road when I had you (When I had you)
Jordan, sorry I wasn't there for all your birthdays
I tried to hit, I wasn't rich, and had no workplace
My son Kody, he three, rappin' already like me
Ridin' in the car, you don't play me, then he gon' scream
I'm a father of four, gotta get that cash, gold
Keep my past closed, 'member I ain't had no dough
Spend a big bag on clothes, Gucci from the head to toes
Not two, not three, all four, that's all they know
Kulture, remind me of my grandma, feel like she is closer
Gotta thank your mama, she hold me like holsters
Gotta protect her from the world, I can't even post her
Ups and downs in this fame, roller coaster
If I don't ball, then everything 'round me fall
I'm prayin' to God to watch my kids, that's my all
I was 17 years old when I had you (When I had you)
Tryna find my soul when I had you (When I had you)
I was oh so broke when I had you (When I had you)
Locked up down the road when I had you (When I had you)
Jordan, sorry I wasn't there for all your birthdays

My son Kody, he three, rappin' already like me
Ridin' in the car, you don't play me, then he gon' scream
Yeah, you already know what it is (Swerve)
Ja, du weißt schon, was es ist (Swerve)
It's noisy off the set path
Es ist laut abseits des vorgegebenen Weges
How can I make choices I've yet to discover we have?
Wie kann ich Entscheidungen treffen, von denen ich noch nicht entdeckt habe, dass wir sie haben?
Must need rehab
Muss wohl eine Reha brauchen
If you think you know me from the facets they show these folks to get money, I gotta laugh
Wenn du denkst, du kennst mich von den Facetten, die sie diesen Leuten zeigen, um Geld zu bekommen, muss ich lachen
How funny it is you don't realize the skill lies in knowing within the truth there's still lies
Wie lustig es ist, dass du nicht merkst, dass das Können darin liegt zu wissen, dass in der Wahrheit immer noch Lügen stecken
It's called being civilized
Es heißt zivilisiert sein
But not to trivialize your belief in the semi-fictionalized
Aber nicht um deinen Glauben an das halb Fiktive zu trivialisieren
I am who you see
Ich bin, wer du siehst
What you hear is part of me
Was du hörst, ist ein Teil von mir
But there's so much more to me
Aber es gibt so viel mehr in mir
So much more to be than just alive
So viel mehr zu sein als nur am Leben
A son, a brother, a husband, a father
Ein Sohn, ein Bruder, ein Ehemann, ein Vater
But still can go even farther
Aber kann noch weiter gehen
With sheer will, can go harder
Mit reinem Willen, kann härter gehen
In that time, I went the hardest
In dieser Zeit, ging ich am härtesten
More than this generic term: artist
Mehr als dieser generische Begriff: Künstler
A reality smith, you love my craftsmanship
Ein Realitätsschmied, du liebst mein Handwerk
Because I craft some shit to make my people proud
Weil ich etwas erschaffe, um meine Leute stolz zu machen
And so I speak aloud, but not loud enough yet
Und so spreche ich laut, aber noch nicht laut genug
Or as loud as I can get
Oder so laut wie ich kann
They think I ain't a threat
Sie denken, ich bin keine Bedrohung
But all preconceived notions, I've arrived
Aber alle vorgefassten Meinungen, ich bin angekommen

I'm a father of four, gotta get that cash, gold
Ich bin Vater von vier Kindern, muss das Geld, Gold bekommen
Keep my past closed, 'member I ain't had no dough
Halte meine Vergangenheit geschlossen, erinnere mich, ich hatte keinen Teig
Spend a big bag on clothes, Gucci from the head to toes
Gib einen großen Batzen Geld für Kleidung aus, Gucci von Kopf bis Fuß
Not two, not three, all four, that's all they know

Must need rehab
Deve precisar de reabilitação
If you think you know me from the facets they show these folks to get money, I gotta laugh

How funny it is you don't realize the skill lies in knowing within the truth there's still lies
Que engraçado é você não perceber que a habilidade está em saber que dentro da verdade ainda há mentiras
It's called being civilized
Chama-se ser civilizado
But not to trivialize your belief in the semi-fictionalized
Mas não para trivializar sua crença no semi-ficcionalizado
I am who you see

What you hear is part of me

So much more to be than just alive
Muito mais para ser do que apenas vivo
A son, a brother, a husband, a father

Ridin' in the car, you don't play me, then he gon' scream
En voiture, si tu ne me joues pas, alors il va crier
Kalia, you my first, first daughter
Kalia, tu es ma première, première fille
I missed the first years of your life, I'm sorry
J'ai raté les premières années de ta vie, je suis désolé
Tell the truth, I ain't really know if I was your father
Pour dire la vérité, je ne savais pas vraiment si j'étais ton père
Tell the truth, I really don't even know your mama
Pour dire la vérité, je ne connais même pas vraiment ta mère
But I had to step up, my daddy had left us
Mais j'ai dû me reprendre, mon père nous avait quittés
Even though we gotta catch up, pray to God that he bless us
Même si nous devons rattraper le temps perdu, je prie Dieu qu'il nous bénisse
I'ma keep grindin' for my kids, never gon' let up
Je vais continuer à me battre pour mes enfants, je ne vais jamais abandonner
I'ma put the money up for y'all, I can't be selfish
Je vais mettre de l'argent de côté pour vous tous, je ne peux pas être égoïste
Had a baby as a kid, mama kicked me out
J'ai eu un bébé quand j'étais enfant, ma mère m'a mis à la porte
Had to go and hit a lick, tryna put food in your mouth
J'ai dû aller faire un coup, essayant de mettre de la nourriture dans ta bouche
Then I got caught for the shit, in the pen when she pushed you out
Puis je me suis fait prendre pour cette merde, en prison quand elle t'a mis au monde
Your mama tried to push me down, ain't let me stay at the house
Ta mère a essayé de me rabaisser, elle ne m'a pas laissé rester à la maison
I was 17 years old when I had you (When I had you)
J'étais 17 ans quand je t'ai eu (Quand je t'ai eu)
Tryna find my soul when I had you (When I had you)
Essayant de trouver mon âme quand je t'ai eu (Quand je t'ai eu)
I was oh so broke when I had you (When I had you)
J'étais tellement fauché quand je t'ai eu (Quand je t'ai eu)
Locked up down the road when I had you (When I had you)
Enfermé sur la route quand je t'ai eu (Quand je t'ai eu)
Jordan, sorry I wasn't there for all your birthdays
Jordan, désolé de ne pas avoir été là pour tous tes anniversaires
I tried to hit, I wasn't rich, and had no workplace
J'ai essayé de frapper, je n'étais pas riche, et je n'avais pas de lieu de travail
My son Kody, he three, rappin' already like me
Mon fils Kody, il a trois ans, il rappe déjà comme moi
Ridin' in the car, you don't play me, then he gon' scream
En voiture, si tu ne me joues pas, alors il va crier
I'm a father of four, gotta get that cash, gold
Je suis un père de quatre enfants, je dois obtenir cet argent, de l'or
Keep my past closed, 'member I ain't had no dough
Garder mon passé fermé, je me souviens que je n'avais pas d'argent
Spend a big bag on clothes, Gucci from the head to toes
Dépenser un gros sac pour des vêtements, Gucci de la tête aux pieds
Not two, not three, all four, that's all they know
Pas deux, pas trois, tous les quatre, c'est tout ce qu'ils savent
Kulture, remind me of my grandma, feel like she is closer
Kulture, me rappelle ma grand-mère, j'ai l'impression qu'elle est plus proche
Gotta thank your mama, she hold me like holsters
Je dois remercier ta mère, elle me tient comme des holsters
Gotta protect her from the world, I can't even post her
Je dois la protéger du monde, je ne peux même pas la poster
Ups and downs in this fame, roller coaster
Des hauts et des bas dans cette célébrité, des montagnes russes
If I don't ball, then everything 'round me fall
Si je ne joue pas, alors tout autour de moi tombe
I'm prayin' to God to watch my kids, that's my all
Je prie Dieu de veiller sur mes enfants, c'est tout pour moi
I was 17 years old when I had you (When I had you)
J'étais 17 ans quand je t'ai eu (Quand je t'ai eu)
Tryna find my soul when I had you (When I had you)
Essayant de trouver mon âme quand je t'ai eu (Quand je t'ai eu)

Ridin' in the car, you don't play me, then he gon' scream
En voiture, si tu ne me joues pas, alors il va crier
Yeah, you already know what it is (Swerve)
Sì, già sai cosa sia (Swerve)
It's noisy off the set path
È rumoroso fuori dal sentiero stabilito
How can I make choices I've yet to discover we have?
Come posso fare scelte che non ho ancora scoperto di avere?
Must need rehab
Devo aver bisogno di riabilitazione
If you think you know me from the facets they show these folks to get money, I gotta laugh
Se pensi di conoscermi dalle sfaccettature che mostrano a queste persone per ottenere soldi, devo ridere
How funny it is you don't realize the skill lies in knowing within the truth there's still lies
Quanto è divertente che tu non ti renda conto che l'abilità sta nel sapere che nella verità ci sono ancora bugie
It's called being civilized
Si chiama essere civili
But not to trivialize your belief in the semi-fictionalized
Ma non per banalizzare la tua fede nel semi-fittizio
I am who you see
Io sono chi vedi
What you hear is part of me
Quello che senti è parte di me
But there's so much more to me
Ma c'è molto di più in me
So much more to be than just alive
Molto di più da essere che solo vivi
A son, a brother, a husband, a father
Un figlio, un fratello, un marito, un padre
But still can go even farther
Ma può ancora andare ancora più lontano
With sheer will, can go harder
Con pura volontà, può andare più duro
In that time, I went the hardest
In quel momento, sono andato più duro
More than this generic term: artist
Più di questo termine generico: artista
A reality smith, you love my craftsmanship
Un fabbro della realtà, ami la mia maestria
Because I craft some shit to make my people proud
Perché creo qualcosa per rendere orgoglioso il mio popolo
And so I speak aloud, but not loud enough yet
E quindi parlo ad alta voce, ma non abbastanza forte ancora
Or as loud as I can get
O forte quanto posso
They think I ain't a threat
Pensano che non sia una minaccia
But all preconceived notions, I've arrived
Ma tutte le nozioni preconcette, sono arrivato

I was 17 years old when I had you (When I had you)
Avevo 17 anni quando ti ho avuto (quando ti ho avuto)
Tryna find my soul when I had you (When I had you)
Cercando di trovare la mia anima quando ti ho avuto (quando ti ho avuto)
I was oh so broke when I had you (When I had you)
Ero così povero quando ti ho avuto (quando ti ho avuto)
Locked up down the road when I had you (When I had you)
Rinchiuso giù per la strada quando ti ho avuto (quando ti ho avuto)

Had a baby as a kid, mama kicked me out

Had to go and hit a lick, tryna put food in your mouth
Ho dovuto andare a colpire, cercando di mettere cibo in bocca
Then I got caught for the shit, in the pen when she pushed you out
Poi sono stato preso per quella merda, in prigione quando lei ti ha partorito
Your mama tried to push me down, ain't let me stay at the house

[Интро: Big Rube]
Да, ты уже знаешь что это
С заданной пути идёт шум
Как я могу сделать выбор, который мне ещё предстоит узнать?
Должен реабилитироваться
Если ты думаешь, что знаешь меня с этих сторон, которые они показывают этим людям чтобы заработать деньги, то я должен смеяться
Как смешно что ты не понимаешь, что лож с капелькой правды остаётся лжём!
Это называется быть цивилизованным
Но не опустошить свои убеждения
Я тот, кого видишь ты
То, что ты услышал – часть меня
Но здесь намного больше меня
Намного больше, чем быть просто живым
Сын, брат, муж, отец
Но всё ещё может продолжаться дaльше
Воля и желание могут стать жоще
В это время я стал самым жёстким
Больше чем термин “артист”
Кузнец реальности, ты любишь моё мастерство
Потому что, я смастерил дерьмо, которое сделало моих людей гордыми
И я поэтому говорю вслух, но ещё недостаточно громко
Или так громко, как смогу
Они думают, что я не угроза
Но все предвзятые понятия я доезжаю
До Offset – а
[Припев: Offset]
Мне было семнадцать, когда ты родился (Когда ты родился)
Пытался найти мою душу, когда ты родился (Когда ты родился)
Я был сломанным, когда ты родился (Когда ты родился)
Закрыл дороги, когда ты родился (Когда ты родился)
Джордан прости, я не был на твоих днях рождения
Я пытался достать до места, я не был богатым, и не имел работу
Мой сын Коди, ему три, читает рэп уже как я
Во время езды на машине, если не будешь играть с ним, то он закричит
[Куплет 1: Offset]
Калеа, ты моя, первая, первая дочь
Я пропустил первые годы твоей жизни, мне жаль
Говорю правду, я реально не знал, что я твой отец
Говорю правду, я реально не знал кто твоя мама
Но я ушёл, мой папа бросил нас
Хотя мы должны наверстать упущенное, помолись Богу, чтобы Он благословил нас
Я ухаживаю за своими детьми, никогда не отпущу
У меня есть деньги для всех вас, я немогу быть эгоистом
Родил детку, а я сам был ребёнком, мама выгнала меня
Вынужден был достать, положить еду тебе в рот
Тогда я был пойман за дерьмо, когда она тебя родила
Твоя мама пыталась выгонять меня, не дала остаться дома
[Припев: Offset]
Мне было семнадцать, когда ты родился (Когда ты родился)
Пытался найти мою душу, когда ты родился (Когда ты родился)
Я был сломанным, когда ты родился (Когда ты родился)
Закрыл дороги, когда ты родился (Когда ты родился)
Джордан прости, я не был на твоих днях рождения
Я пытался достать до места, я не был богатым, и не имел работу
Мой сын Коди, ему три, читает рэп уже как я
Во время езды на машине, если не будешь играть с ним, то он закричит
[Куплет 2: Offset]
Я отец четверых, должен достать эти деньги, золото
Должен держать моё прошлое закрытым, должен помнить что у меня не было денег
Использую большую сумку для одежды, Gucci с головы до ног
Не два, не три, целых четыре, это всё они знают
Кулчер, напоминает меня мою бабушку, как будто она рядом
Должен быть благодарен маме, она держала меня как кобура
Должен защищать её от мира, нимогу даже сделать пост с ней
Взлёты и падения в этой славе, американские горки
Если я не буду скручивать всё вместе, то всё разрушиться
Я молю Бога, чтобы он присмотревал за моими детьми, они всё что у меня есть
[Припев: Offset]
Мне было семнадцать лет, когда родился ты (Когда родился ты)
