Survivor's Guilt
David Orobosa Omoregie, Jorja Smith

Look
Let me show you behind the scene
Behind the glitz and the glamour and all the lights you see
Behind the rumors on the life I lead
Let me talk to the people like it's the mic in me
The truth is I got really bad anxiety
I'm on the motorway, cryin' in the driver's seat
I don't even know where I'm goin'
I got love, but I don't know how to show it, is this life?
When you feel like givin' up, know you're close
I been sayin' the least and knowin' the most
I've had ups and downs, but the highest of the highs
Never last for as long as the lowest of lows
Survivor's guilt
I feel the worst at my happiest
'Cause I miss all my niggas that couldn't be in this life I built
But that's the type of shit that only I can feel
Gettin' me in a mood
My ex's got ivory skin
Which is funny 'cause it's really the elephant in the room
Is that enough reason to bury me in a tomb?
I fell in love with an Albanian, I know it's mad
We're not together, 'cause her family would hold us back
I saw the red flags, I wouldn't want my child to grow in that
Rum and Red Bull, it's a culture clash (fuckin' hell)
I don't wanna let life tear us apart
I see the Internet gossip and it wears on my heart
I fuck with her, she was there from the start
I'm seein' them laugh at me, cah I'm vulnerable
Ain't that the shit that rappers' supposed to do
I'd rather rap about arguin' with my girl than fuckin' your girl
But I don't mind, because the both are true
Ignorin' my messages, these times I know she on her
Worst part is I wouldn't even do the same
Hate it or love it, you gotta charge it to the game
(Gotta charge it to the)
Heavy is the head, but don't play with my heart
I feel like a footballer when I'm makin' my art
Through ball, how I'm managin' the weight of the past
I felt so much pain that I got favorite scars
And my house got wings like my favorite cars
And the Millie Rock my favorite dance
You can call it what you want it, but I got it off of takin' a chance
I didn't take an advance
Fame comes with a price, you can't pay in advance
For six long years, I've been playin' my part
Like a freak in a circus when they're makin' them dance
I got nights where it's light and I got days where it's dark
And the waters that I swim in, it ain't safe for the sharks
He a gangster, but the stress gonna take him apart
I'm with the niggas that I claimed from the start
I see you niggas changin', they didn't make it
It's a shame it takes fallin' to your death
For a person to appreciate fully the gravity of the situation
But that's just irony at its finest
Black women, I just wanna say I'm sorry
I done a lot of dumb shit, I won't lie to you
I wanna be a voice for you, be a light for you
I know I haven't done enough, I wanna try for you
Wanna be on the frontline for you
Campaign for you, make change for you
I just wanna help in any way
Bein' genuine, I think about it every day
Tour life, travellin' every day
Nerves paralyzing when you get to stage
You feel love for an hour, and then it gets to fade
Imagine what that does to your mental state
Imagine bein' a millionaire at a tender age
You don't even know whether to spend or save
My mum had to grow up fast, she expects the same
I was twenty with a mortgage and rent to pay
So what's happenin'? I got gorillas all around me, allow me
Don't get grabbed in a party or lackin'
You'll die for a wine like Joffrey Baratheon
Pattern 'em
The government ain't gonna help with all the issues that I'm tacklin'
The way you talk about politics is bafflin'
I wouldn't even trust my own shadow in a cabinet
Cabbin' it can't drive no more
I been lookin' for the answers, sure that I'll find 'em
I don't judge an accent but the story behind it
We all know loss, but there's glory behind it
I'ma make a film for my mum
And tell her tale to the world, this album is just the soundtrack
Look at her story in a year in her life
And tell me if it doesn't bring a fuckin' tear to your eyes
In this together
I thought wishin' wouldn't hurt, but take it over
I'm done holdin' at your lies
So knowin' that it weren't for any one thing
You know you love fast and I know you wanna stay
In the clouds, my heads sippin' up
Let the other try, said I don't wanna try
I thought wishin' wouldn't hurt, but take it over
I'm done holdin' at your lies
So knowin' that it weren't for any one thing
"What I've realized
What I realized 'bout who I am
Is that, you're kinda taught
You're taught to die for what you stand for, you feel me?
But I realize I'm here to live for what I stand for
'Cause I wanna see it, bro, I wanna enjoy it, bro
I wanna see what I feel, like I am, you know what I'm sayin'?
Out there, while I'm here, and that's that, bro
But, yeah, link up soon my guy, you know how it is
Hustle o'clock bruv
Shine on 'em"

Look
Mira
Let me show you behind the scene
Déjame mostrarte detrás de la escena
Behind the glitz and the glamour and all the lights you see
Detrás del brillo y el glamour y todas las luces que ves
Behind the rumors on the life I lead
Detrás de los rumores sobre la vida que llevo
Let me talk to the people like it's the mic in me
Déjame hablar con la gente como si el micrófono estuviera en mí
The truth is I got really bad anxiety
La verdad es que tengo una ansiedad realmente mala
I'm on the motorway, cryin' in the driver's seat
Estoy en la autopista, llorando en el asiento del conductor
I don't even know where I'm goin'
Ni siquiera sé a dónde voy
I got love, but I don't know how to show it, is this life?
Tengo amor, pero no sé cómo mostrarlo, ¿es esta la vida?
When you feel like givin' up, know you're close
Cuando sientas ganas de rendirte, sabes que estás cerca
I been sayin' the least and knowin' the most
He estado diciendo lo mínimo y sabiendo lo máximo
I've had ups and downs, but the highest of the highs
He tenido altibajos, pero los más altos de los altos
Never last for as long as the lowest of lows
Nunca duran tanto como los más bajos de los bajos
Survivor's guilt
Culpa del superviviente
I feel the worst at my happiest
Me siento peor en mis momentos más felices
'Cause I miss all my niggas that couldn't be in this life I built
Porque extraño a todos mis amigos que no pudieron estar en esta vida que construí
But that's the type of shit that only I can feel
Pero ese es el tipo de mierda que solo yo puedo sentir
Gettin' me in a mood
Poniéndome de mal humor
My ex's got ivory skin
Mis ex tienen piel de marfil
Which is funny 'cause it's really the elephant in the room
Lo cual es gracioso porque realmente es el elefante en la habitación
Is that enough reason to bury me in a tomb?
¿Es esa razón suficiente para enterrarme en una tumba?
I fell in love with an Albanian, I know it's mad
Me enamoré de una albanesa, sé que es locura
We're not together, 'cause her family would hold us back
No estamos juntos, porque su familia nos retendría
I saw the red flags, I wouldn't want my child to grow in that
Vi las señales de alerta, no querría que mi hijo creciera en eso
Rum and Red Bull, it's a culture clash (fuckin' hell)
Ron y Red Bull, es un choque cultural (joder)
I don't wanna let life tear us apart
No quiero que la vida nos separe
I see the Internet gossip and it wears on my heart
Veo los chismes de Internet y me pesa en el corazón
I fuck with her, she was there from the start
Me llevo bien con ella, estuvo allí desde el principio
I'm seein' them laugh at me, cah I'm vulnerable
Veo que se ríen de mí, porque soy vulnerable
Ain't that the shit that rappers' supposed to do
¿No es eso lo que se supone que deben hacer los raperos?
I'd rather rap about arguin' with my girl than fuckin' your girl
Prefiero rapear sobre discutir con mi chica que sobre acostarme con tu chica
But I don't mind, because the both are true
Pero no me importa, porque ambas cosas son ciertas
Ignorin' my messages, these times I know she on her
Ignorando mis mensajes, en estos momentos sé que ella está en su
Worst part is I wouldn't even do the same
Lo peor es que ni siquiera haría lo mismo
Hate it or love it, you gotta charge it to the game
Te guste o no, tienes que cargarlo al juego
(Gotta charge it to the)
(Tienes que cargarlo al)
Heavy is the head, but don't play with my heart
Pesada es la cabeza, pero no juegues con mi corazón
I feel like a footballer when I'm makin' my art
Me siento como un futbolista cuando estoy haciendo mi arte
Through ball, how I'm managin' the weight of the past
Pase largo, cómo estoy manejando el peso del pasado
I felt so much pain that I got favorite scars
He sentido tanto dolor que tengo cicatrices favoritas
And my house got wings like my favorite cars
Y mi casa tiene alas como mis coches favoritos
And the Millie Rock my favorite dance
Y el Millie Rock es mi baile favorito
You can call it what you want it, but I got it off of takin' a chance
Puedes llamarlo como quieras, pero lo conseguí al tomar una oportunidad
I didn't take an advance
No tomé un anticipo
Fame comes with a price, you can't pay in advance
La fama tiene un precio, no puedes pagar por adelantado
For six long years, I've been playin' my part
Durante seis largos años, he estado desempeñando mi papel
Like a freak in a circus when they're makin' them dance
Como un fenómeno en un circo cuando los hacen bailar
I got nights where it's light and I got days where it's dark
Tengo noches donde es luz y tengo días donde es oscuro
And the waters that I swim in, it ain't safe for the sharks
Y las aguas en las que nado, no son seguras para los tiburones
He a gangster, but the stress gonna take him apart
Es un gánster, pero el estrés lo va a desmoronar
I'm with the niggas that I claimed from the start
Estoy con los chicos que reclamé desde el principio
I see you niggas changin', they didn't make it
Veo que ustedes están cambiando, no lo lograron
It's a shame it takes fallin' to your death
Es una pena que se necesite caer hasta la muerte
For a person to appreciate fully the gravity of the situation
Para que una persona aprecie completamente la gravedad de la situación
But that's just irony at its finest
Pero eso es solo la ironía en su máxima expresión
Black women, I just wanna say I'm sorry
Mujeres negras, solo quiero decir que lo siento
I done a lot of dumb shit, I won't lie to you
He hecho muchas tonterías, no te mentiré
I wanna be a voice for you, be a light for you
Quiero ser una voz para ti, ser una luz para ti
I know I haven't done enough, I wanna try for you
Sé que no he hecho suficiente, quiero intentarlo por ti
Wanna be on the frontline for you
Quiero estar en la primera línea por ti
Campaign for you, make change for you
Hacer campaña por ti, hacer cambios por ti
I just wanna help in any way
Solo quiero ayudar de cualquier manera
Bein' genuine, I think about it every day
Siendo genuino, lo pienso todos los días
Tour life, travellin' every day
Vida de gira, viajando todos los días
Nerves paralyzing when you get to stage
Los nervios paralizan cuando llegas al escenario
You feel love for an hour, and then it gets to fade
Sientes amor durante una hora, y luego se desvanece
Imagine what that does to your mental state
Imagina lo que eso hace a tu estado mental
Imagine bein' a millionaire at a tender age
Imagina ser millonario a una edad temprana
You don't even know whether to spend or save
Ni siquiera sabes si gastar o ahorrar
My mum had to grow up fast, she expects the same
Mi madre tuvo que crecer rápido, ella espera lo mismo
I was twenty with a mortgage and rent to pay
Tenía veinte años con una hipoteca y alquiler que pagar
So what's happenin'? I got gorillas all around me, allow me
Entonces, ¿qué está pasando? Tengo gorilas a mi alrededor, déjame
Don't get grabbed in a party or lackin'
No te dejes atrapar en una fiesta o desprevenido
You'll die for a wine like Joffrey Baratheon
Morirás por un vino como Joffrey Baratheon
Pattern 'em

Ni siquiera confiaría en mi propia sombra en un gabinete
Cabbin' it can't drive no more
Tomando un taxi, ya no puedo conducir más
I been lookin' for the answers, sure that I'll find 'em
He estado buscando las respuestas, seguro que las encontraré
I don't judge an accent but the story behind it
No juzgo un acento sino la historia detrás de él
We all know loss, but there's glory behind it
Todos conocemos la pérdida, pero hay gloria detrás de ella
I'ma make a film for my mum
Voy a hacer una película para mi madre
And tell her tale to the world, this album is just the soundtrack
Y contar su historia al mundo, este álbum es solo la banda sonora
Look at her story in a year in her life
Mira su historia en un año de su vida
And tell me if it doesn't bring a fuckin' tear to your eyes
Y dime si no te trae una maldita lágrima a los ojos
In this together
En esto juntos
I thought wishin' wouldn't hurt, but take it over
Pensé que desear no dolería, pero lo supera
I'm done holdin' at your lies
He terminado de aguantar tus mentiras
So knowin' that it weren't for any one thing
Así que sabiendo que no fue por ninguna cosa en particular
You know you love fast and I know you wanna stay
Sabes que amas rápido y sé que quieres quedarte
In the clouds, my heads sippin' up
En las nubes, mi cabeza está bebiendo
Let the other try, said I don't wanna try
Deja que el otro lo intente, dije que no quiero intentarlo
I thought wishin' wouldn't hurt, but take it over
Pensé que desear no dolería, pero lo supera
I'm done holdin' at your lies
He terminado de aguantar tus mentiras

Así que sabiendo que no fue por ninguna cosa en particular
"What I've realized
"Lo que me he dado cuenta
What I realized 'bout who I am
Lo que me di cuenta acerca de quién soy
Is that, you're kinda taught
Es que, te enseñan
You're taught to die for what you stand for, you feel me?
Te enseñan a morir por lo que defiendes, ¿me entiendes?
But I realize I'm here to live for what I stand for
Pero me di cuenta de que estoy aquí para vivir por lo que defiendo
'Cause I wanna see it, bro, I wanna enjoy it, bro
Porque quiero verlo, hermano, quiero disfrutarlo, hermano
I wanna see what I feel, like I am, you know what I'm sayin'?
Quiero ver lo que siento, como soy, ¿sabes a lo que me refiero?
Out there, while I'm here, and that's that, bro
Ahí fuera, mientras estoy aquí, y eso es todo, hermano
But, yeah, link up soon my guy, you know how it is
Pero, sí, nos vemos pronto, amigo, ya sabes cómo es

Je ne sais même pas où je vais
I got love, but I don't know how to show it, is this life?
J'ai de l'amour, mais je ne sais pas comment le montrer, est-ce la vie ?
When you feel like givin' up, know you're close

Ne dure jamais aussi longtemps que le plus bas des bas

La culpabilité du survivant
I feel the worst at my happiest
Je me sens le pire quand je suis le plus heureux
'Cause I miss all my niggas that couldn't be in this life I built
Parce que je manque à tous mes potes qui ne peuvent pas être dans cette vie que j'ai construite
But that's the type of shit that only I can feel
Mais c'est le genre de truc que seul je peux ressentir
Gettin' me in a mood

Farò un film per mia madre
And tell her tale to the world, this album is just the soundtrack
E racconterò la sua storia al mondo, questo album è solo la colonna sonora
Look at her story in a year in her life
Guarda la sua storia in un anno della sua vita
And tell me if it doesn't bring a fuckin' tear to your eyes
E dimmi se non ti porta una cazzo di lacrima agli occhi
In this together
In questo insieme
I thought wishin' wouldn't hurt, but take it over
Pensavo che desiderare non facesse male, ma prendilo
I'm done holdin' at your lies
Ho finito di tenere le tue bugie
So knowin' that it weren't for any one thing
Quindi sapendo che non era per una sola cosa
You know you love fast and I know you wanna stay
Sai che ami velocemente e so che vuoi restare
In the clouds, my heads sippin' up
Nelle nuvole, la mia testa sta bevendo
Let the other try, said I don't wanna try
Lascia che l'altro provi, ho detto che non voglio provare
I thought wishin' wouldn't hurt, but take it over
Pensavo che desiderare non facesse male, ma prendilo
I'm done holdin' at your lies
Ho finito di tenere le tue bugie
So knowin' that it weren't for any one thing
Quindi sapendo che non era per una sola cosa
"What I've realized
"Quello che ho capito
What I realized 'bout who I am
Quello che ho capito su chi sono
Is that, you're kinda taught
È che, ti insegnano
You're taught to die for what you stand for, you feel me?
Ti insegnano a morire per quello per cui stai, capisci?
But I realize I'm here to live for what I stand for
Ma mi rendo conto che sono qui per vivere per quello per cui sto
'Cause I wanna see it, bro, I wanna enjoy it, bro
Perché voglio vederlo, fratello, voglio goderlo, fratello
I wanna see what I feel, like I am, you know what I'm sayin'?
Voglio vedere quello che sento, come sono, capisci?
Out there, while I'm here, and that's that, bro
Là fuori, mentre sono qui, e basta, fratello
But, yeah, link up soon my guy, you know how it is
Ma, sì, ci vediamo presto amico mio, sai com'è
Hustle o'clock bruv
È l'ora di fare soldi, fratello
Shine on 'em"
Brilla su di loro"
