Boys and girls, wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night was at this real wild party
There was liquor overflowin' the cup
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
So I took one girl outside with me
Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me
I said, "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"
She said
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone
On the bedroom floor
'Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
I ain't got a job now
He's just smokin' rock now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life
Girl, you ain't the only one to have a baby
That's no excuse to be living all crazy
So she stared me right square in the eye
And said, "Everyday I wake up, hoping to die"
She said, "They're gonna know about pain
'Cause me and my sister ran away
So our daddy couldn't rape us
Before I was a teenager
I done been through more shit
You can't even relate to"
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone
On the bedroom floor
'Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
I ain't got a job now
He's just smokin' rock now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life
What would you do?
Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses
What would you do?
Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses
What would you do?
Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses
What would you do?
Get up off my feet!
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone
On the bedroom floor
'Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down

Chicos y chicas, ¿quieren escuchar una historia real?
Saturday night was at this real wild party
El sábado por la noche estuve en esta fiesta realmente salvaje
There was liquor overflowin' the cup
Había licor desbordando la copa
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
Cerca de cinco o seis strippers intentando trabajar por un dólar
So I took one girl outside with me
Así que llevé a una chica afuera conmigo
Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me
Su nombre era Londy, ella fue a la secundaria conmigo
I said, "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
Le dije, "¿Por qué estás ahí adentro bailando por dinero?
I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"
Supongo que muchas cosas han cambiado desde la última vez que te vi"
She said
Ella dijo
What would you do if your son was at home
¿Qué harías si tu hijo estuviera en casa
Crying all alone
Llorando completamente solo
On the bedroom floor
En el suelo de su habitación
'Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Porque tiene hambre y la única forma de alimentarlo es
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
Dormir con un hombre por un poco de dinero?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
Y su papá ha ido y venido de la cárcel
I ain't got a job now
Ahora no tengo trabajo
He's just smokin' rock now
Él solo está fumando crack ahora
So for you this is just a good time
Así que para ti esto es solo un buen rato
But for me this is what I call life
Pero para mí esto es lo que llamo vida
Girl, you ain't the only one to have a baby
Chica, no eres la única en tener un bebé
That's no excuse to be living all crazy
Eso no es excusa para vivir de manera loca
So she stared me right square in the eye
Así que me miró directamente a los ojos
And said, "Everyday I wake up, hoping to die"
Y dijo, "Todos los días me despierto, esperando morir"
She said, "They're gonna know about pain
Ella dijo, "Van a saber sobre el dolor
'Cause me and my sister ran away
Porque mi hermana y yo nos escapamos
So our daddy couldn't rape us
Así que nuestro papá no podría violarnos
Before I was a teenager
Antes de que fuera adolescente
I done been through more shit
Ya he pasado por más mierda
You can't even relate to"
No puedes ni siquiera relacionarte"

Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses
Levantarme de mis pies y dejar de poner excusas cansadas
What would you do?

Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses

Sábado à noite estava numa festa realmente selvagem
There was liquor overflowin' the cup
Havia bebida transbordando do copo
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
Cerca de cinco ou seis strippers tentando trabalhar por um dólar
So I took one girl outside with me
Então eu levei uma garota para fora comigo
Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me
O nome dela era Londy, ela estudou no ensino fundamental comigo
I said, "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
Eu disse, "Por que você está aí dançando por dinheiro?

E o pai dele está entrando e saindo da prisão
I ain't got a job now
Eu não tenho um emprego agora
He's just smokin' rock now
Ele está apenas fumando crack agora
So for you this is just a good time
Então para você isso é apenas um bom momento
But for me this is what I call life
Mas para mim isso é o que eu chamo de vida
Girl, you ain't the only one to have a baby
Garota, você não é a única a ter um bebê
That's no excuse to be living all crazy
Isso não é desculpa para viver de maneira louca
So she stared me right square in the eye
Então ela me encarou bem nos olhos
And said, "Everyday I wake up, hoping to die"
E disse, "Todos os dias eu acordo, esperando morrer"
She said, "They're gonna know about pain
Ela disse, "Eles vão saber sobre dor
'Cause me and my sister ran away

Saturday night was at this real wild party
Samstagnacht war ich auf dieser wirklich wilden Party
There was liquor overflowin' the cup
Da war Alkohol, der das Glas überflutete
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
Etwa fünf oder sechs Stripperinnen versuchten, für einen Dollar zu arbeiten
So I took one girl outside with me
Also nahm ich ein Mädchen mit nach draußen
Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me
Ihr Name war Londy, sie ging mit mir auf die Mittelschule
I said, "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
Ich sagte: „Warum tanzt du da drinnen für Geld?
I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"
Ich schätze, es hat sich viel verändert, seit ich dich das letzte Mal gesehen habe“
She said
Sie sagte
What would you do if your son was at home
Was würdest du tun, wenn dein Sohn zu Hause wäre
Crying all alone
Ganz alleine weint
On the bedroom floor
Auf dem Schlafzimmerboden
'Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Weil er hungrig ist und die einzige Möglichkeit, ihn zu ernähren, besteht darin,
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
Mit einem Mann für ein bisschen Geld zu schlafen?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
Und sein Vater ist immer wieder im Gefängnis
I ain't got a job now
Ich habe jetzt keinen Job
He's just smokin' rock now
Er raucht jetzt nur noch Crack
So for you this is just a good time
Also ist das für dich nur eine gute Zeit
But for me this is what I call life
Aber für mich ist das, was ich Leben nenne
Girl, you ain't the only one to have a baby
Mädchen, du bist nicht die einzige, die ein Baby hat
That's no excuse to be living all crazy
Das ist keine Entschuldigung, um völlig verrückt zu leben
So she stared me right square in the eye
Also starrte sie mir direkt in die Augen
And said, "Everyday I wake up, hoping to die"
Und sagte: „Jeden Tag wache ich auf und hoffe zu sterben“
She said, "They're gonna know about pain
Sie sagte: „Sie werden von Schmerz erfahren
'Cause me and my sister ran away
Denn ich und meine Schwester sind weggelaufen
So our daddy couldn't rape us
Damit unser Vater uns nicht vergewaltigen konnte
Before I was a teenager
Bevor ich ein Teenager war
I done been through more shit
Ich habe schon mehr Scheiße durchgemacht

Saturday night was at this real wild party
Sabato sera ero a questa festa davvero selvaggia
There was liquor overflowin' the cup
C'era alcol che traboccava dalla tazza
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
Circa cinque o sei spogliarelliste cercavano di lavorare per un dollaro
So I took one girl outside with me
Così ho portato fuori una ragazza con me
Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me
Il suo nome era Londy, andava alla scuola media con me
I said, "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
Ho detto, "Perché sei lì dentro a ballare per soldi?
I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"
Immagino che molte cose siano cambiate da quando ti ho vista l'ultima volta"
She said
Lei ha detto
What would you do if your son was at home
Cosa faresti se tuo figlio fosse a casa
Crying all alone
Piange tutto solo
On the bedroom floor
Sul pavimento della camera da letto
'Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to
Perché ha fame e l'unico modo per nutrirlo è
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
Dormire con un uomo per un po' di soldi?
And his daddy's gone in and out of lock down
E suo padre è andato avanti e indietro dal carcere
I ain't got a job now
Non ho un lavoro ora
He's just smokin' rock now
Lui sta solo fumando crack ora
So for you this is just a good time
Quindi per te questo è solo un bel momento
But for me this is what I call life
Ma per me questo è quello che chiamo vita
Girl, you ain't the only one to have a baby
Ragazza, non sei l'unica ad avere un bambino
That's no excuse to be living all crazy
Questo non è un pretesto per vivere in modo folle
So she stared me right square in the eye
Così mi ha fissato dritto negli occhi
And said, "Everyday I wake up, hoping to die"
E ha detto, "Ogni giorno mi sveglio, sperando di morire"
She said, "They're gonna know about pain
Ha detto, "Sapremo del dolore
'Cause me and my sister ran away
Perché io e mia sorella siamo scappate
So our daddy couldn't rape us
Così nostro padre non poteva violentarci
Before I was a teenager
Prima che fossi un'adolescente
I done been through more shit
Ho passato più merda

There was liquor overflowin' the cup
Minuman keras meluap-luap di cangkir
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
Sekitar lima atau enam penari telanjang mencoba mencari uang
So I took one girl outside with me
Jadi saya mengajak satu gadis keluar bersama saya
Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me
Namanya Londy, dia sekolah di SMP bersama saya

I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"
Saya kira banyak hal telah berubah sejak saya terakhir melihatmu"
She said
