bra給gin & boasting
Another day up in these labels of rap
又一天在廠牌落腳消磨時光
And youre a battle MC who swears that your style is flavorly phat
你是另一個的哪一個Battle MC發誓說你的曲子可以給我們添光添彩
Cant wait to hit the studio disabling tracks
等不及去錄音室把你的帶子拼拼補補
So everyone can hear your s**t on they turntables and DATS
讓大眾勉強能欣賞這份“風格迥異” 在黑膠播放機和隨身聽上點擊播放
You put your, single out so now you layin it back
各抒己見吧再把你單出來現在要打退堂鼓了?
Cause now everybodys sayin, 'Yo son, your name on the map'
多半是人群中傳出:' 小伙子，你代表著地圖中的我們。”
And everybodys actin crazy in fact
不得不說啊大家都褪下了最初的靦腆
Hoes be sweatin your gear
那些女孩們爭搶上身你的“從頭到腳”
And askin s**t like, 'What fragrance is that?'
然後詢問那些無關緊要的細節“那香水是哪款啊啊啊啊啊!'
But thats the life you live
這是你自定義的活法不是嘛?
Great *** with your admirers
和你的追隨者們享受極致的縱情交歡
Cause your albums in the deck of everybodys Iowa
只因你的專輯陳列在大體受眾的AIWA牌播音機中呢
But prior to, all the props and all the street buzz
但是積聚在街頭巷陌的形形色色中
Nobody in your neighborhood could give a **** who you was
才不在乎你是哪位爺呢無一例外的
Because
大概是因為以下:
They dont love you
與他們墜入愛河的不是你
They love what you stand for
你所代表的那些讓他們嗅著了甜頭
The car you drive and the loot you got your hands on
上街的天價豪車和經過你手的“金子”
That s**t could end in a minute
虛幻的熱潮隨時都可能冷卻
Any minute
“3！ 2！ 1！ ” 消散如煙
And then your driveway wont have all them Bentleys in it
不久你前門的賓利也不曾常駐
And wine glass wont have all that Remy in it
高腳杯中的人頭馬也日漸蒸發殆盡
No video shoots with Hype and P. Diddy in it
拍攝的日程中Hype 和P. Diddy 不見踪跡
So dont get caught up in the fame and applause
人生忠告千萬別讓名譽和掌聲盯上你的動脈
And brainless awards
還有沖你人來的獎項們
Next year they aint gonna want you no more
明年年初你就會是“二手貨”
Check it out now

Ayo yo its game time
你好先生歡迎來到Yama Rocka酒吧我是你的車童
Time to stop these ****** lame with the rhymes
“好極了！”
They rhymes be full of one lines
“啊哈又到了快樂的遊戲時光！”
And one line proves to be too many
“又到了那段那段讓模仿犯們都乖乖噤聲的時光！”
And too many proves to be plenty for me to disregard
他們用韻腳都不帶更新換代
Bout tired of givin cats fake head bobs and nods
說你們重複一句都不夠格
Listen to their squads boys front to be hard
不夠格就活該被我埋汰
And hood Ds
就快厭煩了給這些毛毛狗狗的讚同與認可
Held respect like wood leaves in the park
成群結對的小孩子展示著混跡街頭歲月帶來的
Shedding tears when its after three
歷經沉淪的態度和江湖氣
After me
要么尊敬前人種下的參天大樹
Anything left is tragedy
要么深夜三點獨自酒吧買醉
Wipe out your team cause I stay past three
在我饕餮過後
On the Richter
剩下的殘渣全歸你
Only AIDS patients stay sicker
聽到三點後我包場你的狐朋狗友也把你拋下
You must be drunk of the liquor
篤信自己病入膏肓的傢伙才會日益消瘦
Cause Pooh is a chaser and I hate that pain in major
在好日子剛敲門的時刻！
Give a **** about yall cause your label is major
是被酒精吃了腦子吧你
And your image
“和你'夢中情人'的關係中將要佔據痛苦的主導位？”
Man, they got you lustin the doe
我可不關係他們主流歌手的點點滴滴和
Were gonna see where your love is when youre facin the flo
還有你的“公眾形象”
And somebodys four pound tucked, ready to blow
兄弟那群人把你捧成了尋歡的兔子
And you surrounded by faces that you dont really know
就想看看你的'新歡'花落誰家
Got your life flashin fast and you wish it would slow
是哪位風流女孩還是那根'銷量最佳'
Thats why I love the beats and I lust the flow
最後環繞在你身邊的面孔沒一個熟人
So now you know
人生像快門般閃爍你想要它拍慢點不是嘛

這就是為何我愛的只有非碳的音軌和言語的停停頓頓
