Ah, ah, ArrDee, ArrDee
Ey, ah
They don't wanna see you shine
'Cause they see you shine, but they don't see you grind
I was fourteen with weed and a line
Cah didn't have p but I needed a dime
Told mandem I wouldn't leave them behind
If I ever get there, I got the team in the ride
Then I see set' man creep on the sly
I don't need to remind them, I've been on their minds
Still feeding the guys
Whenever I can cah they've been with me from the start
Know how it feels when you've been on your arse
Can't believe they're labelling me as a plant
Got me conflicted
Cah that means in the scene all they're seeing is Ardz
Great, but trust me, you see what I want you to see
You never saw me on the graft
Never saw mumzy leaving the yard
Cah we couldn't pay rent with a tear in her eye
Never saw me tryna network, get a set, merk
But they didn't wanna see little guy
I was in colly when I first met Bigz
We were beefing he'd argue with me all the time
'Cause he told me that I could get big
In the place I was in, I couldn't see to the light
Now it's tunnel vision
Roll to the shubz with the boys and I leave with a dozen women
Placed in the game, are you fuckin' kidding?
I had to tell Karl I was gonna kill it
He's my manager
I think it's because of the caliber
The way I came in scene straight damager
I'm leavin' no crumbs, I'm a scavenger
I wasn't badding up boys, I was wrapping up
Anyone I'm in the room with, I had to be better than them
That's the mindset that I work with
I started working late, never wrap up at ten
I was sleeping in the studio way before kudos
Back don't need patting from them
That's why I laugh when I see that they're talkin'
As long as they're talkin', I'm happy and blessed
Yes
This ain't checkers it's chess
I can't settle and rest
I rap better when vexed
So keep pissing me off and let's check how it gets
Yes, this ain't checkers it's chess
I'm one steppin' ahead
They can't step in my head
They can't pressure and test 'cause I'm better than them
And I don't think they like it
Your girl scrolls through her TikTok, hears me and then get's excited
You ain't gotta fear me, I ain't gonna wife it
I'm on no Johnny and piping
You're on some Bonnie & Clyde shit
We ain't the same, get left in the mist
I was stressed in the bits
No cheques I could give to my mum, now I'm repping the bits, lit
How they gonna call me a label boy
'Cause I ain't bad and don't play with toys?
Hear bare noise 'cause I'm making noise
And you're pissed off they don't wanna play your boy
But his flows whack so that statement's void
In a party, he stands in the corner
No sauce, and he can't draw none
How you gonna rap if you can't even talk up?
I ain't one for the drama
I stay smiley, bro stays behind me, and he's far from marga
I still tell man "Nah, bruv, the dumb shit ain't worth it"
From the car to the top and the boy still ain't scratched the surface
I was riding 'round in a stolen Škoda, pissed off that it weren't working
Four man deep and a few beanies
But the steering fucked so we kept on swerving
He got the weed, he got the white and b, and he got the phone-line twerking
Meanwhile, me, I'm just driving drunk with all the girls tryna try shit on
What, you can't see I'm drivin' hun?
She said, "I don't mind 'cause you're nice and fun"
It was only right I blew in the car I was grinding from
Now in the night, I ain't driving drunk
I phone my guy like "Driver, come"
Quickly slide to a lighties drum
I'm a sweet boy, I'll even vibe with mum when I'm into the yard
I ain't in the for long-run, I'm in and I'm gone, bless
Yes
This ain't checkers it's chess
I can't settle and rest
I rap better when vexed
So keep pissing me off and let's check how it gets
Yes, this ain't checkers it's chess
I'm one steppin' ahead
They can't step in my head
They can't pressure and test 'cause I'm better than them
Yes
Ah, ah, ArrDee, ArrDee
Ah, ah, ah, ArrDee, ArrDee
(1-6, 1-6)
Ah, pain
(Jester made this)
The flip side of the coin
(Bigz baby)
Look
So, here's the part of it that ain't nobody talk about
You build your line and do your walkabout
And Liz ain't gettin' cash in, but she's catting, so she'll fork it out
No, I ain't cussing the hustle, I've come to talk about
The flip side of the coin, I'm here to make a point, let's talk it out
You come from struggle and you're trappin' out to fill your fridge, I get it
You feel like it weren't a choice, you had to deal with it
Lizzy got a story too, different kinda feeling
Liz could never really cope, so she smokin' buj, I'll take you back though
Lizzy's home was cold
Both her parents, Lizzy didn't know
An eight-year old should have her mother at the minimum to hold
She got bullied at her school, so as she grew, she didn't go
She's on the road so young, and no-one cares so no-one knows
Smokin' skunk while her brains developing
Eleven and she's always high, her pain she couldn't settle with
Vulnerable little girl, but she front it with her medicine
The only man she talks to is her dealer, and he meddles with her mental
Nuttin' in this world's coincidental
There's a reason why they call, as a trapper you ain't got a choice
Course you're gonna answer, if they want it, what's with all the noise?
But Liz ain't got one either, difference is though, Liz ain't got a voice
She's scared
Her mummy didn't love her and her daddy didn't care
And her foster parents beat her and fucked her, it isn't fair
In that place emotions ain't gonna save you
So in the end it made her numb, she was done, ah
She's older now and Liz is more than just a stoner now
A Rizla and a rock is all she's got, she's a lonely child
Fifteen-years old she got a pal, she thinks knows her well
Met her on the roads, she was homeless, she's the one that got her on it
And Lizzy saw it as a favor, Donny saw it as a profit
Me, I saw it as a self fulfilling prophecy
You see, my city means a lot to me
But crackheads ain't got access to nuttin' here but the rock they need
Lizzy's mate just got her home
The environment ain't safe for a girl who's eighteen-years old
But she ain't thinkin' that
She saw her mate slappin' her veins and she was feelin' sad
So Lizzy tried it too, she's on the B now, watch her sink and that
The bando stinks and Lizzy's life, she's on an injured, ah
And as a trapper you're focused on you, so you're just thinkin' cash
Liz came short and Don was furious, gave Liz a slap
"I always do you deals, you take the piss, you better bring me that"
She's sharing needles now, too afraid to call again
Isn't eating food, don't wash herself, to live is torturing Liz
She started bugging on the road, all the runners took the piss
They're filming her on Snapchat, and Liz is crying but she's biss'ed out
She couldn't talk but got her quid's out
Kitty gave her more, he took the score, and then he dipped out
Liz is on the floor, she ain't walkin' to the crib now
The police called her a whore and said "There's kids about, you sick cow"
You see a nitty, but to me, I see a little girl
Who ain't deserve the life she got, zero chance in this written world
She found a needle 'round, she fill it up and flick it out
Everybody see her but ignore her, they ain't lookin' down
She put the dodgy needle all under her skin, pushed it in and knew she fucked it up
Thinking this is it, Liz died petrified
You build your line in hopes to better life, I get it
But there's two sides to that coin, I have to emphasize

They don't wanna see you shine
No quieren verte brillar
'Cause they see you shine, but they don't see you grind
Porque te ven brillar, pero no te ven esforzarte
I was fourteen with weed and a line
Tenía catorce años con hierba y una línea
Cah didn't have p but I needed a dime
Porque no tenía dinero pero necesitaba una moneda
Told mandem I wouldn't leave them behind
Les dije a los chicos que no los dejaría atrás
If I ever get there, I got the team in the ride
Si alguna vez llego allí, tengo al equipo en el coche
Then I see set' man creep on the sly
Luego veo a algunos hombres acechar a escondidas
I don't need to remind them, I've been on their minds
No necesito recordarles, he estado en sus mentes
Still feeding the guys
Todavía alimentando a los chicos
Whenever I can cah they've been with me from the start
Siempre que puedo porque han estado conmigo desde el principio
Know how it feels when you've been on your arse
Sé cómo se siente cuando has estado en tu trasero
Can't believe they're labelling me as a plant
No puedo creer que me estén etiquetando como una planta
Got me conflicted
Me tiene en conflicto
Cah that means in the scene all they're seeing is Ardz
Porque eso significa que en la escena todo lo que ven es Ardz
Great, but trust me, you see what I want you to see
Genial, pero confía en mí, ves lo que quiero que veas
You never saw me on the graft
Nunca me viste en el trabajo
Never saw mumzy leaving the yard
Nunca viste a mamá salir del patio
Cah we couldn't pay rent with a tear in her eye
Porque no podíamos pagar el alquiler con una lágrima en su ojo
Never saw me tryna network, get a set, merk
Nunca me viste tratando de hacer contactos, conseguir un set, merk
But they didn't wanna see little guy
Pero no querían ver al chico pequeño
I was in colly when I first met Bigz
Estaba en la universidad cuando conocí a Bigz
We were beefing he'd argue with me all the time
Estábamos peleando, él discutía conmigo todo el tiempo
'Cause he told me that I could get big
Porque me dijo que podía hacerme grande
In the place I was in, I couldn't see to the light
En el lugar en el que estaba, no podía ver la luz
Now it's tunnel vision
Ahora es visión de túnel
Roll to the shubz with the boys and I leave with a dozen women
Voy a la fiesta con los chicos y me voy con una docena de mujeres
Placed in the game, are you fuckin' kidding?
¿Puesto en el juego, estás bromeando?
I had to tell Karl I was gonna kill it
Tuve que decirle a Karl que iba a matarlo
He's my manager
Es mi manager
I think it's because of the caliber
Creo que es por el calibre
The way I came in scene straight damager
La forma en que entré en la escena directamente dañando
I'm leavin' no crumbs, I'm a scavenger
No dejo migajas, soy un carroñero
I wasn't badding up boys, I was wrapping up
No estaba peleando con los chicos, estaba envolviendo
Anyone I'm in the room with, I had to be better than them
Cualquiera que esté en la habitación conmigo, tenía que ser mejor que ellos
That's the mindset that I work with
Esa es la mentalidad con la que trabajo
I started working late, never wrap up at ten
Empecé a trabajar tarde, nunca termino a las diez
I was sleeping in the studio way before kudos
Estaba durmiendo en el estudio mucho antes de los elogios
Back don't need patting from them
No necesito palmaditas en la espalda de ellos
That's why I laugh when I see that they're talkin'
Por eso me río cuando veo que están hablando
As long as they're talkin', I'm happy and blessed
Mientras estén hablando, estoy feliz y bendecido
Yes
Sí
This ain't checkers it's chess
Esto no son damas, es ajedrez
I can't settle and rest
No puedo conformarme y descansar
I rap better when vexed
Rapeo mejor cuando estoy enfadado
So keep pissing me off and let's check how it gets
Así que sigue enfadándome y veamos cómo se pone
Yes, this ain't checkers it's chess
Sí, esto no son damas, es ajedrez
I'm one steppin' ahead
Estoy un paso por delante
They can't step in my head
No pueden entrar en mi cabeza
They can't pressure and test 'cause I'm better than them
No pueden presionar y probar porque soy mejor que ellos
And I don't think they like it
Y no creo que les guste
Your girl scrolls through her TikTok, hears me and then get's excited
Tu chica se desplaza por su TikTok, me escucha y se emociona
You ain't gotta fear me, I ain't gonna wife it
No tienes que temerme, no voy a casarme con ella
I'm on no Johnny and piping
No estoy en ninguna Johnny y tubería
You're on some Bonnie & Clyde shit
Estás en algo de Bonnie & Clyde
We ain't the same, get left in the mist
No somos iguales, te quedas en la niebla
I was stressed in the bits
Estaba estresado en los bits
No cheques I could give to my mum, now I'm repping the bits, lit
No había cheques que pudiera darle a mi madre, ahora estoy representando los bits, encendido
How they gonna call me a label boy
¿Cómo van a llamarme chico de la discográfica
'Cause I ain't bad and don't play with toys?
Porque no soy malo y no juego con juguetes?
Hear bare noise 'cause I'm making noise
Oigo mucho ruido porque estoy haciendo ruido
And you're pissed off they don't wanna play your boy
Y estás enfadado porque no quieren jugar con tu chico
But his flows whack so that statement's void
Pero su flujo es malo así que esa afirmación es nula
In a party, he stands in the corner
En una fiesta, se queda en la esquina
No sauce, and he can't draw none
No tiene salsa, y no puede atraer a ninguna
How you gonna rap if you can't even talk up?
¿Cómo vas a rapear si ni siquiera puedes hablar?
I ain't one for the drama
No soy uno para el drama
I stay smiley, bro stays behind me, and he's far from marga
Me mantengo sonriente, mi hermano se queda detrás de mí, y está lejos de ser flaco
I still tell man "Nah, bruv, the dumb shit ain't worth it"
Todavía le digo al hombre "No, hermano, la tontería no vale la pena"
From the car to the top and the boy still ain't scratched the surface
Desde el coche hasta la cima y el chico todavía no ha rascado la superficie
I was riding 'round in a stolen Škoda, pissed off that it weren't working
Estaba dando vueltas en un Škoda robado, enfadado porque no funcionaba
Four man deep and a few beanies
Cuatro hombres profundos y unas pocas gorras
But the steering fucked so we kept on swerving
Pero la dirección estaba jodida así que seguimos desviándonos
He got the weed, he got the white and b, and he got the phone-line twerking
Él tiene la hierba, él tiene la blanca y b, y él tiene la línea del teléfono trabajando
Meanwhile, me, I'm just driving drunk with all the girls tryna try shit on
Mientras tanto, yo, solo estoy conduciendo borracho con todas las chicas tratando de probar cosas
What, you can't see I'm drivin' hun?
¿Qué, no ves que estoy conduciendo, cariño?
She said, "I don't mind 'cause you're nice and fun"
Ella dijo, "No me importa porque eres agradable y divertido"
It was only right I blew in the car I was grinding from
Era justo que explotara en el coche desde el que estaba trabajando
Now in the night, I ain't driving drunk
Ahora en la noche, no conduzco borracho
I phone my guy like "Driver, come"
Llamo a mi chico como "Conductor, ven"
Quickly slide to a lighties drum
Rápidamente me deslizo a un tambor de luz
I'm a sweet boy, I'll even vibe with mum when I'm into the yard
Soy un chico dulce, incluso vibro con mamá cuando entro en el patio
I ain't in the for long-run, I'm in and I'm gone, bless
No estoy en esto a largo plazo, entro y me voy, bendito.
Yes
Sí
This ain't checkers it's chess
Esto no es damas, es ajedrez

No puedo conformarme y descansar
I rap better when vexed
Rapeo mejor cuando estoy molesto
So keep pissing me off and let's check how it gets
Así que sigue enfadándome y veamos cómo se pone
Yes, this ain't checkers it's chess
Sí, esto no es damas, es ajedrez
I'm one steppin' ahead

So, here's the part of it that ain't nobody talk about
Entonces, aquí está la parte de la que nadie habla
You build your line and do your walkabout
Construyes tu línea y haces tu recorrido
And Liz ain't gettin' cash in, but she's catting, so she'll fork it out
Y Liz no está ganando dinero, pero está desesperada, así que lo pagará
No, I ain't cussing the hustle, I've come to talk about
No, no estoy criticando el esfuerzo, he venido a hablar de
The flip side of the coin, I'm here to make a point, let's talk it out
La otra cara de la moneda, estoy aquí para hacer un punto, hablemos
You come from struggle and you're trappin' out to fill your fridge, I get it
Vienes de la lucha y estás atrapado para llenar tu nevera, lo entiendo
You feel like it weren't a choice, you had to deal with it
Sientes que no tenías opción, tenías que lidiar con ello
Lizzy got a story too, different kinda feeling
Lizzy tiene una historia también, un sentimiento diferente
Liz could never really cope, so she smokin' buj, I'll take you back though
Liz nunca pudo realmente lidiar, así que está fumando buj, te llevaré atrás
Lizzy's home was cold
La casa de Lizzy era fría
Both her parents, Lizzy didn't know
Ambos padres, Lizzy no los conocía
An eight-year old should have her mother at the minimum to hold
Una niña de ocho años debería tener a su madre como mínimo para abrazar
She got bullied at her school, so as she grew, she didn't go
La acosaban en su escuela, así que a medida que crecía, no iba
She's on the road so young, and no-one cares so no-one knows
Está en la calle tan joven, y a nadie le importa así que nadie sabe
Smokin' skunk while her brains developing
Fumando skunk mientras su cerebro se desarrolla
Eleven and she's always high, her pain she couldn't settle with
Once y siempre está alta, su dolor no podía soportar
Vulnerable little girl, but she front it with her medicine
Niña pequeña y vulnerable, pero lo disimula con su medicina
The only man she talks to is her dealer, and he meddles with her mental
El único hombre con el que habla es su traficante, y él se mete con su mentalidad
Nuttin' in this world's coincidental
Nada en este mundo es coincidencia
There's a reason why they call, as a trapper you ain't got a choice
Hay una razón por la que llaman, como traficante no tienes opción
Course you're gonna answer, if they want it, what's with all the noise?
Por supuesto que vas a responder, si lo quieren, ¿qué pasa con todo el ruido?
But Liz ain't got one either, difference is though, Liz ain't got a voice
Pero Liz tampoco tiene una, la diferencia es que Liz no tiene voz
She's scared
Ella tiene miedo
Her mummy didn't love her and her daddy didn't care
Su mamá no la amaba y su papá no le importaba
And her foster parents beat her and fucked her, it isn't fair
Y sus padres adoptivos la golpeaban y la jodían, no es justo
In that place emotions ain't gonna save you
En ese lugar las emociones no te van a salvar
So in the end it made her numb, she was done, ah
Así que al final la hizo insensible, estaba acabada, ah
She's older now and Liz is more than just a stoner now
Ahora es mayor y Liz es más que una fumadora
A Rizla and a rock is all she's got, she's a lonely child
Un Rizla y una roca es todo lo que tiene, es una niña solitaria
Fifteen-years old she got a pal, she thinks knows her well
A los quince años tiene un amigo, cree que la conoce bien
Met her on the roads, she was homeless, she's the one that got her on it
La conoció en las calles, estaba sin hogar, fue ella quien la metió en esto
And Lizzy saw it as a favor, Donny saw it as a profit
Y Lizzy lo vio como un favor, Donny lo vio como un beneficio
Me, I saw it as a self fulfilling prophecy
Yo, lo vi como una profecía autocumplida
You see, my city means a lot to me
Verás, mi ciudad significa mucho para mí
But crackheads ain't got access to nuttin' here but the rock they need
Pero los drogadictos no tienen acceso a nada aquí excepto a la roca que necesitan
Lizzy's mate just got her home
El amigo de Lizzy acaba de conseguirle un hogar
The environment ain't safe for a girl who's eighteen-years old
El ambiente no es seguro para una chica de dieciocho años
But she ain't thinkin' that
Pero ella no está pensando en eso
She saw her mate slappin' her veins and she was feelin' sad
Vio a su amigo golpeándose las venas y se sintió triste
So Lizzy tried it too, she's on the B now, watch her sink and that
Así que Lizzy también lo intentó, está en la B ahora, mírala hundirse
The bando stinks and Lizzy's life, she's on an injured, ah
El bando apesta y la vida de Lizzy, está en un herido, ah
And as a trapper you're focused on you, so you're just thinkin' cash
Y como traficante estás centrado en ti, así que solo estás pensando en el dinero
Liz came short and Don was furious, gave Liz a slap
Liz se quedó corta y Don estaba furioso, le dio una bofetada a Liz
"I always do you deals, you take the piss, you better bring me that"
"Siempre te hago ofertas, te pasas, mejor me traes eso"
She's sharing needles now, too afraid to call again
Ahora está compartiendo agujas, demasiado asustada para volver a llamar
Isn't eating food, don't wash herself, to live is torturing Liz
No come, no se lava, vivir es torturar a Liz
She started bugging on the road, all the runners took the piss
Empezó a alucinar en la calle, todos los corredores se burlaban
They're filming her on Snapchat, and Liz is crying but she's biss'ed out
La están filmando en Snapchat, y Liz está llorando pero está drogada
She couldn't talk but got her quid's out
No podía hablar pero sacó su dinero
Kitty gave her more, he took the score, and then he dipped out
Kitty le dio más, tomó la puntuación, y luego se fue
Liz is on the floor, she ain't walkin' to the crib now
Liz está en el suelo, ya no puede caminar hasta la cuna
The police called her a whore and said "There's kids about, you sick cow"
La policía la llamó puta y dijo "Hay niños por aquí, eres una vaca enferma"
You see a nitty, but to me, I see a little girl
Ves a una drogadicta, pero para mí, veo a una niña pequeña
Who ain't deserve the life she got, zero chance in this written world
Que no merecía la vida que le tocó, cero oportunidades en este mundo escrito
She found a needle 'round, she fill it up and flick it out
Encontró una aguja por ahí, la llenó y la sacó
Everybody see her but ignore her, they ain't lookin' down
Todos la ven pero la ignoran, no están mirando hacia abajo
She put the dodgy needle all under her skin, pushed it in and knew she fucked it up
Se metió la aguja sospechosa bajo la piel, la empujó y supo que la había jodido
Thinking this is it, Liz died petrified
Pensando que esto es todo, Liz murió aterrorizada
You build your line in hopes to better life, I get it
Construyes tu línea con la esperanza de mejorar la vida, lo entiendo

Eu tinha quatorze anos com maconha e uma linha
Cah didn't have p but I needed a dime
Porque não tinha dinheiro, mas precisava de uma moeda
Told mandem I wouldn't leave them behind
Disse aos manos que não os deixaria para trás
If I ever get there, I got the team in the ride
Se eu chegar lá, tenho a equipe no carro
Then I see set' man creep on the sly
Então vejo alguns caras se aproximando sorrateiramente
I don't need to remind them, I've been on their minds
Não preciso lembrá-los, eu estive em suas mentes
Still feeding the guys
Ainda alimentando os caras
Whenever I can cah they've been with me from the start
Sempre que posso porque eles estiveram comigo desde o início
Know how it feels when you've been on your arse
Sei como se sente quando você está por baixo
Can't believe they're labelling me as a plant
Não acredito que estão me rotulando como uma planta
Got me conflicted
Isso me deixa conflituoso
Cah that means in the scene all they're seeing is Ardz
Porque isso significa que na cena tudo que estão vendo é Ardz
Great, but trust me, you see what I want you to see
Ótimo, mas confie em mim, você vê o que eu quero que você veja
You never saw me on the graft
Você nunca me viu trabalhando duro
Never saw mumzy leaving the yard
Nunca viu minha mãe saindo de casa
Cah we couldn't pay rent with a tear in her eye
Porque não podíamos pagar o aluguel com uma lágrima no olho
Never saw me tryna network, get a set, merk
Nunca me viu tentando fazer contatos, conseguir um set, arrasar
But they didn't wanna see little guy
Mas eles não queriam ver o pequeno cara
I was in colly when I first met Bigz
Eu estava na faculdade quando conheci Bigz
We were beefing he'd argue with me all the time
Estávamos brigando, ele discutia comigo o tempo todo
'Cause he told me that I could get big
Porque ele me disse que eu poderia crescer
In the place I was in, I couldn't see to the light
No lugar em que eu estava, eu não conseguia ver a luz

Agora é visão de túnel
Roll to the shubz with the boys and I leave with a dozen women

Eu tive que dizer ao Karl que ia arrasar
He's my manager
Ele é meu empresário
I think it's because of the caliber
Acho que é por causa do calibre

A maneira como entrei na cena, direto causando danos
I'm leavin' no crumbs, I'm a scavenger
Não estou deixando migalhas, sou um abutre
I wasn't badding up boys, I was wrapping up
Eu não estava intimidando os meninos, eu estava me preparando
Anyone I'm in the room with, I had to be better than them
Qualquer um que estivesse na sala comigo, eu tinha que ser melhor que eles
That's the mindset that I work with
Essa é a mentalidade com que eu trabalho
I started working late, never wrap up at ten
Comecei a trabalhar tarde, nunca termino às dez
I was sleeping in the studio way before kudos
Eu estava dormindo no estúdio muito antes dos elogios
Back don't need patting from them

É por isso que eu rio quando vejo que eles estão falando
As long as they're talkin', I'm happy and blessed
Enquanto eles estão falando, estou feliz e abençoado

Tu vois une nitty, mais pour moi, je vois une petite fille
Who ain't deserve the life she got, zero chance in this written world
Qui ne méritait pas la vie qu'elle a eue, aucune chance dans ce monde écrit

Pensant que c'est la fin, Liz est morte terrifiée
You build your line in hopes to better life, I get it
Tu construis ta ligne dans l'espoir d'améliorer ta vie, je comprends

Ich muss sie nicht daran erinnern, ich bin in ihren Gedanken

Can't believe they're labelling me as a plant
Kann nicht glauben, dass sie mich als Pflanze bezeichnen

Look
Schau
So, here's the part of it that ain't nobody talk about
Also, hier ist der Teil davon, über den niemand spricht
You build your line and do your walkabout
Du baust deine Linie auf und machst deinen Rundgang
And Liz ain't gettin' cash in, but she's catting, so she'll fork it out
Und Liz bekommt kein Geld, aber sie ist süchtig, also wird sie es ausgeben
No, I ain't cussing the hustle, I've come to talk about

The flip side of the coin, I'm here to make a point, let's talk it out

You come from struggle and you're trappin' out to fill your fridge, I get it
Du kommst aus dem Kampf und du fängst an, um deinen Kühlschrank zu füllen, ich verstehe es
You feel like it weren't a choice, you had to deal with it
Du fühlst, als ob du keine Wahl hattest, du musstest damit umgehen
Lizzy got a story too, different kinda feeling

Lizzys Zuhause war kalt
Both her parents, Lizzy didn't know

An eight-year old should have her mother at the minimum to hold
Ein achtjähriges Kind sollte mindestens seine Mutter zum Halten haben

Sie wurde in ihrer Schule gemobbt, also ging sie, als sie älter wurde, nicht mehr hin
She's on the road so young, and no-one cares so no-one knows

Smokin' skunk while her brains developing

Vulnerable little girl, but she front it with her medicine
Verletzliches kleines Mädchen, aber sie stellt sich mit ihrer Medizin zur Schau
The only man she talks to is her dealer, and he meddles with her mental
Der einzige Mann, mit dem sie spricht, ist ihr Dealer, und er mischt sich in ihr mentales ein
Nuttin' in this world's coincidental
Nichts in dieser Welt ist zufällig
There's a reason why they call, as a trapper you ain't got a choice
Es gibt einen Grund, warum sie anrufen, als Trapper hast du keine Wahl
Course you're gonna answer, if they want it, what's with all the noise?
Natürlich wirst du antworten, wenn sie es wollen, was ist mit all dem Lärm?
But Liz ain't got one either, difference is though, Liz ain't got a voice

Ein Rizla und ein Stein ist alles, was sie hat, sie ist ein einsames Kind
Fifteen-years old she got a pal, she thinks knows her well
Mit fünfzehn Jahren hat sie einen Freund, von dem sie glaubt, dass er sie gut kennt
Met her on the roads, she was homeless, she's the one that got her on it
Sie traf ihn auf den Straßen, sie war obdachlos, sie ist diejenige, die sie darauf brachte
And Lizzy saw it as a favor, Donny saw it as a profit
Und Lizzy sah es als einen Gefallen, Donny sah es als einen Profit
Me, I saw it as a self fulfilling prophecy
Ich sah es als eine sich selbst erfüllende Prophezeiung
You see, my city means a lot to me
Du siehst, meine Stadt bedeutet mir viel
But crackheads ain't got access to nuttin' here but the rock they need
Aber Crackheads haben hier keinen Zugang zu nichts außer dem Stein, den sie brauchen
Lizzy's mate just got her home
Lizzys Freundin hat sie gerade nach Hause gebracht
The environment ain't safe for a girl who's eighteen-years old

Sie sah ihre Freundin ihre Venen schlagen und sie fühlte sich traurig
So Lizzy tried it too, she's on the B now, watch her sink and that
Also probierte Lizzy es auch aus, sie ist jetzt auf dem B, schau zu, wie sie sinkt und das
The bando stinks and Lizzy's life, she's on an injured, ah
Das Bando stinkt und Lizzys Leben, sie ist auf einem Verletzten, ah
And as a trapper you're focused on you, so you're just thinkin' cash
Und als Trapper konzentrierst du dich auf dich, also denkst du nur an Geld
Liz came short and Don was furious, gave Liz a slap
Liz kam zu kurz und Don war wütend, gab Liz eine Ohrfeige
"I always do you deals, you take the piss, you better bring me that"
„Ich mache dir immer Angebote, du nimmst mich auf den Arm, du musst mir das bringen“
She's sharing needles now, too afraid to call again
Sie teilt jetzt Nadeln, zu ängstlich, um wieder anzurufen
Isn't eating food, don't wash herself, to live is torturing Liz
Isst kein Essen, wäscht sich nicht, zu leben ist für Liz eine Qual
She started bugging on the road, all the runners took the piss
Sie fing an, auf der Straße herumzuirren, alle Läufer machten sich über sie lustig
They're filming her on Snapchat, and Liz is crying but she's biss'ed out
Sie filmen sie auf Snapchat, und Liz weint, aber sie ist biss'ed out
She couldn't talk but got her quid's out
Sie konnte nicht reden, aber holte ihre Pfund raus
Kitty gave her more, he took the score, and then he dipped out
Kitty gab ihr mehr, er nahm die Punktzahl, und dann tauchte er ab
Liz is on the floor, she ain't walkin' to the crib now
Liz liegt auf dem Boden, sie geht jetzt nicht mehr zum Krippe
The police called her a whore and said "There's kids about, you sick cow"
Die Polizei nannte sie eine Hure und sagte „Es sind Kinder da, du kranke Kuh“
You see a nitty, but to me, I see a little girl
Du siehst einen Nitty, aber für mich sehe ich ein kleines Mädchen
Who ain't deserve the life she got, zero chance in this written world
Das das Leben, das sie bekam, nicht verdient hat, null Chance in dieser geschriebenen Welt
She found a needle 'round, she fill it up and flick it out
Sie fand eine Nadel herum, sie füllte sie auf und flickte sie raus
Everybody see her but ignore her, they ain't lookin' down
Jeder sieht sie, aber ignoriert sie, sie schauen nicht hinunter
She put the dodgy needle all under her skin, pushed it in and knew she fucked it up
Sie steckte die verdächtige Nadel unter ihre Haut, drückte sie rein und wusste, dass sie es vermasselt hat
Thinking this is it, Liz died petrified
Denkend, das ist es, Liz starb verängstigt
You build your line in hopes to better life, I get it
Du baust deine Linie auf in der Hoffnung, das Leben zu verbessern, ich verstehe es
But there's two sides to that coin, I have to emphasize
Aber es gibt zwei Seiten dieser Medaille, das muss ich betonen
