Life
Tahj Malik Chandler
I got angels running 'way, I got demons hunting me
I know 'Pac was 25, I know Jesus 33
I tell Death to keep a distance, I think he obsessed with me
I say "God, that's the one," I know she would die for me
They want a barcode on my wrist
To auction off the kids that don't fit their description of a utopia (black)
Like a problem won't exist if I just don't exist
If I grew up without a single pot to piss in
Pardon me for venting
Congress got the nerve to call itself religious
Rich just getting richer, we just tryna live our life
Momma mixed the vodka with the Sprite
They killed my cousin with a pocket knife
While my uncle on the phone
He was gone for more than half my life
He got out a year and then he died
I was on the road
Talking to my father on the phone
Left the city when I was just four
None of them would get along
Momma begging him for winter clothes
I was chilling with my nigga Spook
Now they tryna take his
Life don't mean shit to a nigga that ain't never had shit, yuh
Light don't mean lit in the dark, fight don't mean fists, ooh
Eyes don't see, eyes don't see, ice don't freeze
Light don't leave, I don't mean lie to me
Tell me I'll be okay, tell me happier days
Tell me that she my bae, that I won't be alone
Tell 'em I'll be okay, when he ask how's my day
Tell 'em that we the same, tell em' that we not safe
I got my grandaddy's soul, I'm at war that's on my mind
I seen Walter buy that coat, wish I could switch it with mine
I'm not worried bout no rap shit, distractions or wasted times
I still go to social functions even though I'm so anti
No I'm no Rihanna, the court gonna throw it like Donovan
Down a bit, I just been modeling my whole career as if Pac was here
Studio monitors shaking, I raise the apartments
I'm bonded with profit, I made what I made, and allot it
Amount of time that's in my mind the time you was watching
So stop comparing me to people, no I am not them
A lot of people dream until they shit or get sh-*gunshot*
That's life

Ich habe Engel, die weglaufen, ich habe Dämonen, die mich jagen
I know 'Pac was 25, I know Jesus 33
Ich weiß, 'Pac war 25, ich weiß, Jesus war 33
I tell Death to keep a distance, I think he obsessed with me
Ich sage dem Tod, er soll Abstand halten, ich glaube, er ist besessen von mir
I say "God, that's the one," I know she would die for me
Ich sage „Gott, das ist die Eine“, ich weiß, sie würde für mich sterben
They want a barcode on my wrist
Sie wollen einen Barcode auf meinem Handgelenk
To auction off the kids that don't fit their description of a utopia (black)
Um die Kinder zu versteigern, die nicht ihrer Beschreibung einer Utopie entsprechen (schwarz)
Like a problem won't exist if I just don't exist
Als ob ein Problem nicht existieren würde, wenn ich einfach nicht existiere
If I grew up without a single pot to piss in
Wenn ich aufgewachsen wäre, ohne einen einzigen Topf zum Pinkeln zu haben
Pardon me for venting
Entschuldigung, dass ich mich auslasse

Jetzt versuchen sie, sein Leben zu nehmen
Life don't mean shit to a nigga that ain't never had shit, yuh
Das Leben bedeutet einem Nigga, der nie etwas hatte, nichts, yuh
Light don't mean lit in the dark, fight don't mean fists, ooh
Licht bedeutet nicht, dass es im Dunkeln leuchtet, Kampf bedeutet nicht Fäuste, ooh
Eyes don't see, eyes don't see, ice don't freeze
Augen sehen nicht, Augen sehen nicht, Eis friert nicht
Light don't leave, I don't mean lie to me
Licht geht nicht, ich meine nicht, lüge mich an
Tell me I'll be okay, tell me happier days
Sag mir, dass es mir gut gehen wird, sag mir glücklichere Tage
Tell me that she my bae, that I won't be alone
Sag mir, dass sie meine Bae ist, dass ich nicht alleine sein werde
Tell 'em I'll be okay, when he ask how's my day
Sag ihnen, dass es mir gut gehen wird, wenn er fragt, wie mein Tag war
Tell 'em that we the same, tell em' that we not safe
Sag ihnen, dass wir gleich sind, sag ihnen, dass wir nicht sicher sind

Amount of time that's in my mind the time you was watching
Die Menge an Zeit, die in meinem Kopf ist, die Zeit, die du zugeschaut hast
So stop comparing me to people, no I am not them
Also hör auf, mich mit Leuten zu vergleichen, nein, ich bin nicht sie

Biliyorum Pac 25'ti, biliyorum İsa 33'tü
Ölüme mesafesini korumasını söylüyorum, sanırım benimle takıntılı
Diyorum ki, "Tanrı'm, bu bir kadın," biliyorum benim için ölürdü
Bileğimde barkod istiyorlar (bileğimde barkod)
Çocukları açık arttırmaya çıkarmak için
Ütopya tasvirlerine uymayan (siyah)
Sanki ben var olmasam problem olmayacakmış gibi
Eğer işemek için bir tane bile kap olmadan büyürsem
Dışa vurduğum için affedin
Kongrenin kendisine dindar demeye cesareti var
Zengin daha da zenginleşiyor, biz sadece hayatımızı yaşamaya çalışıyor
[Chorus]
Annem vodkayı Sprite ile karıştırdı
Öldürdüler kuzenimi çakıyla
Amcam telefondayken
Hayatımın yarısı boyunca yoktu
Bir yıl dışarıdaydı sonra öldü
Onur listesindeydim, babamla telefonda konuşuyordum
Şehri terk ettim sadece dört yaşındayken
Hiçbiri geçinemeyecek
Annem yalvarıyor ona kış montları için
Takılıyordum zencim Spook ile şimdi almaya çalışıyorlar onun—
[Post-Chorus]
Hayat hiçbir şey yaşamayan bir zenci için bir anlama gelmez, yeah
Işık karanlıkta aydınlık demek değil, kavga yumruklar demek değil, ooh
Gözler görmüyor, gözler görmüyor, buz donmuyor
Işık terk etmiyor, bana yalan söyle demiyorum
[Bridge]
Bana iyi olacak de, bana daha mutlu günleri anlat
Bana manitanın benim olduğunu söyle, yalnız olmayacağımı
Onlara beni sorduğunda iyi olacak de, "Günüm mü nasıldı?"
Onlara aynı olduğumuzu söyle, güvende olmadığımızı söyle
[Verse 2]
Bende dedemin ruhu var, savaştayım, aklımdaki bu
Walter'ın soğuk bedenini gördüm, keşke benimki ile değiştirebilseydim
Rap boku hakkında endişelenmiyorum, zaman kaybının oyalanması
Hala sosyal ortamlara gidiyorum olsam da anti—
Hayır, ben Rihanna değilim, mahkeme aşağı atacak Donovan gibi
Biraz aşağı, bütün kariyerim boyunca modellik yaptım
Sanki Pac buradaymış gibi, stüdyo monitörleri sallanıyor
Yükseltiyorum apartmanları, ben kârlı Bono'yum
Yaptığımı yaptım verilmiş
Zaman miktarında, izlerken geçirdiğim zaman miktarıyla aynı
Bu yüzden beni insanlarla kıyaslamayı bırakın; hayır, ben onlar değilim
Birçok insan hayat kurar ta ki şey—*silah sesi*
[Chorus]
Bu hayat, annem vodkayı Sprite ile karıştırdı
Öldürdüler kuzenimi çakıyla
Amcam telefondayken
Hayatımın yarısı boyunca yoktu
Bir yıl dışarıdaydı sonra öldü
Onur listesindeydim, babamla telefonda konuşuyordum
Şehri terk ettim sadece dört yaşındayken
Hiçbiri geçinemeyecek
Annem yalvarıyor ona kış montları için
Takılıyordum zencim Spook ile, şimdi almaya çalışıyorlar onun hayatını
