The government cuttin' checks but can't cut a nigga some slack
It's hard to get a job so we hustlin', flip a pack

I'm from where we unheard and we can't speak
We go to school, they try to tell us what we can't be

Why would the Devil take my brother if he close to me?
Now if you scared, take my soul, you see my bros in me
We missin' you man, this ain't how this shit supposed to be
Feel like I'm stuck, I wish them streets never proposed to me
Out there posted in the field with them soldiers deep
So now the other side wanna put a hole in me
Like every day might be the end of the road for me
We die young so I couldn't picture an older me
Fightin' demons, like them drugs take control of me
I let my head go and kill what they told to me
'Member we ain't have a thing, same clothes for weeks
Hardbody, that's how them situations molded me
Needed money and grew accustomed to this fast life
Pressure from this way of livin', so we blast pipes
Shit got me stressin' three hundred and sixty-five nights
Them people workin' against us like we don't have rights
It don't matter what this money and this fame can give
I've been hurtin', tryna smile through the pain and tears
Wish we could go back to them days when we played as kids
A lot of shit changed, that's just the way it is
That's just (that's just the way it is)

So ist es, so ist es eben (so ist es)
Some things'll never (some things'll never change)
Einige Dinge werden nie (einige Dinge werden nie ändern)
Yeah, that's just the way it is (way it is)
Ja, so ist es eben (so ist es)
The way it is (yeah)
So ist es (ja)
Never, never (ayy)
Nie, nie (ayy)
Some things will never change (some things will never change)

You finally made it big brother
Du hast es endlich geschafft, großer Bruder
You're the G.O.A.T.
Du bist der G.O.A.T.
Well respected in this hip-hop, lil' Polo be spittin' facts
Rispettato in questo hip-hop, il piccolo Polo sputa fatti
A lot of rappers doin' way more stuntin' than givin' back
Un sacco di rapper fanno molto più sfoggio che dare indietro
You ain't my color, then you don't know the struggle of livin' black
Se non sei del mio colore, non conosci la lotta di vivere da nero
Cops kill us and we protest, what type of shit is that?
La polizia ci uccide e noi protestiamo, che tipo di merda è questa?
Man, if the police shoot at one of my brothers, I'm blickin' back
Uomo, se la polizia spara a uno dei miei fratelli, rispondo al fuoco
We hate each other so we just wanna score and go tit for tat
Ci odiamo a vicenda quindi vogliamo solo segnare e andare pari pari
All these shorties want is points, they ain't chasin' a different stat
Tutti questi ragazzini vogliono solo punti, non stanno cercando un diverso stat
Really riskin' it all, what's the point when that nigga rap?
Rischiano davvero tutto, qual è il punto quando quel negro fa rap?
We seventeen, got forty years in the court when we gettin' cracked
Abbiamo diciassette anni, quarant'anni in tribunale quando ci beccano
Stuck in the system, they just watchin' us fail while layin' back
Intrappolati nel sistema, loro ci guardano fallire mentre si rilassano
The government cuttin' checks but can't cut a nigga some slack
Il governo taglia assegni ma non può dare un po' di tregua a un negro
It's hard to get a job so we hustlin', flip a pack
È difficile trovare un lavoro quindi facciamo gli spacciatori, giriamo un pacco
It's all a set-up, no wonder why they call this bitch a trap
È tutto un tranello, non c'è da stupirsi se chiamano questa cagna una trappola
Life was messed up, a matter of time 'til that nigga snap
La vita era un casino, era questione di tempo prima che quel negro esplodesse
Post traumatic stress and them triggers keep gettin' tapped
Stress post-traumatico e quei grilletti continuano a essere premuti
R.I.P. Malcolm, I promise to conquer and fill them gaps
R.I.P. Malcolm, prometto di conquistare e colmare quelle lacune
Them corners leave a nigga boxed in, tryna break free
Quegli angoli lasciano un negro intrappolato, cercando di liberarsi
Crazy how I love the same block that tried to break me
È pazzesco come amo lo stesso isolato che ha cercato di spezzarmi
Pray that I ain't in my own hood when they take me
Prego di non essere nel mio quartiere quando mi prenderanno
This how we know a life of peace, what we can't see
Così sappiamo una vita di pace, quello che non possiamo vedere
I'm from where we unheard and we can't speak
Vengo da dove non siamo ascoltati e non possiamo parlare
We go to school, they try to tell us what we can't be
Andiamo a scuola, cercano di dirci cosa non possiamo essere
Profit with a billion dollar mind like I'm JAY-Z
Profitto con una mente da miliardo di dollari come se fossi JAY-Z
They killed Martin for dreamin' and now I can't sleep
Hanno ucciso Martin per aver sognato e ora non riesco a dormire
Why would the Devil take my brother if he close to me?
Perché il Diavolo avrebbe preso mio fratello se è vicino a me?
Now if you scared, take my soul, you see my bros in me
Ora se hai paura, prendi la mia anima, vedi i miei fratelli in me
We missin' you man, this ain't how this shit supposed to be
Ti stiamo perdendo, non è così che le cose dovrebbero andare
Feel like I'm stuck, I wish them streets never proposed to me
Mi sento bloccato, vorrei che quelle strade non mi avessero mai proposto
Out there posted in the field with them soldiers deep
Là fuori in campo con quei soldati in profondità
So now the other side wanna put a hole in me
Quindi ora l'altra parte vuole mettermi un buco
Like every day might be the end of the road for me
Come se ogni giorno potesse essere la fine della strada per me
We die young so I couldn't picture an older me
Moriamo giovani quindi non riuscivo a immaginarmi più vecchio
Fightin' demons, like them drugs take control of me
Combattendo demoni, come se le droghe prendessero il controllo di me
I let my head go and kill what they told to me
Lascio andare la mia testa e uccido quello che mi hanno detto
'Member we ain't have a thing, same clothes for weeks
Ricorda che non avevamo niente, stessi vestiti per settimane
Hardbody, that's how them situations molded me
Corpo duro, così quelle situazioni mi hanno plasmato
Needed money and grew accustomed to this fast life
Avevo bisogno di soldi e mi sono abituato a questa vita veloce
Pressure from this way of livin', so we blast pipes
Pressione da questo modo di vivere, quindi sparavamo tubi
Shit got me stressin' three hundred and sixty-five nights
La merda mi ha stressato trecentosessantacinque notti
Them people workin' against us like we don't have rights
Quelle persone lavorano contro di noi come se non avessimo diritti
It don't matter what this money and this fame can give
Non importa cosa può dare questo denaro e questa fama
I've been hurtin', tryna smile through the pain and tears
Sono stato ferito, cercando di sorridere attraverso il dolore e le lacrime
Wish we could go back to them days when we played as kids
Vorrei potessimo tornare a quei giorni in cui giocavamo da bambini
A lot of shit changed, that's just the way it is
Molte cose sono cambiate, è così che vanno le cose
That's just (that's just the way it is)
È così (è così che vanno le cose)
Some things'll never (some things'll never change)
Alcune cose non cambieranno mai (alcune cose non cambieranno mai)
Oh, oh, that's just the way it is (way it is)
Oh, oh, è così che vanno le cose (così vanno le cose)
The way it is (ooh)
Così vanno le cose (ooh)
That's just, that's just the way it is (the way it is)
È così, è così che vanno le cose (così vanno le cose)
Some things'll never (some things'll never change)
Alcune cose non cambieranno mai (alcune cose non cambieranno mai)
Yeah, that's just the way it is (way it is)
Sì, è così che vanno le cose (così vanno le cose)
The way it is (yeah)
Così vanno le cose (sì)
Never, never (ayy)
Mai, mai (ayy)
Some things will never change (some things will never change)
Alcune cose non cambieranno mai (alcune cose non cambieranno mai)
Never, never (ooh)
Mai, mai (ooh)
Some things will never change
Alcune cose non cambieranno mai

You finally made it big brother
Ce l'hai fatta grande fratello
You're the G.O.A.T.
Sei il G.O.A.T.
[Перевод песни Polo G - Wishing For a Hero]
[Куплет: Polo G]
Не последний человек в хип-хопе – lil' Polo, сейчас выдаст вам пару фактов
Большинство рэперов сейчас только понтуются, не уважают аудиторию
У тебя не мой цвет кожи, ты не знаешь, каково это – страдать, живя чёрной жизнью
Копы убивают нас, мы протестуем, чё за дерьмо вообще происходит?
Мужик, если полиция подстрелит кого-то из моих братьев, я не буду молчать, отвечу
Мы ненавидим друг друга, здесь всегда господствует принцип "око за око"
Все девочки сейчас хотят быстрых денег, они не пытаются достичь чего-то сами
В чём вообще смысл быть крысой? Это слишком рискованно
Нам всего по семнадцать лет, когда нас ловят и выносят приговор на сорок
Мы словно застряли в системе, а все они развалились на креслах и наблюдают за нашими неудачами
Правительство всегда при деньгах, но мы не позволим ослабить нас
Здесь тяжело найти работу, так что нам приходится вкалывать, как можем
Наша жизнь уже предопределена, так чему удивляться, когда все называют эту суку западнёй?
Никуда от неё не убежишь, это лишь вопрос времени, когда ниггер сломается, не сможет идти дальше
Посттравматический стресс, и он жмёт на курок
R.I.P. Малькольм, я обещаю, что мы добьёмся своего, мы заполним все пробелы
Эти улицы не выпускают ниггера, запирают его, нужно выбираться отсюда
Это забавно: я влюблён в свой район, но он пытается сломать меня
Молюсь Богу о том, чтобы не нарваться на кого-нибудь, когда иду по чужому блоку
Наша жизнь – это всё, что у нас есть, пытаемся жить мирно, но никак не выходит
Я из того места, где тебя не услышат, и где всем затыкают рты
Мы ходим в школу, где нам говорят, что мы не сможем добиться
Состояния в миллиард долларов, как у JAY-Z
Они убили Мартина просто за то, что он мечтал, и теперь я не могу спать
За что дьявол забрал моего брата? Я так его любил
Лучше бы он забрал мою душу, всегда готов отдать её за своих братьев
Нам не хватает тебя, чувак, всё не должно было так сложиться
Чувствую, что застрял в этом дерьме, хотел бы я никогда не ввязываться в эти уличные дела
Куча парней захоронено на кладбище, так много, словно это солдаты с какой-то войны
Но наши войны не утихают, кто-то по-прежнему хочет меня пристрелить
Каждый день может стать для меня концом пути
Мы умираем молодыми, так что я даже не могу представить себя в старости
Демоны берут верх надо мной, позволяю наркотикам захватить себя
Они в моей голове, говорят мне пойти и убить кого-то
Я помню времена, когда у нас ничё не было, таскали всё те же шмотки неделями
Теперь я стал жёстче, жизнь сильно изменила меня
Нам всегда нужны были деньги, и мы привыкли к этой быстротечной жизни
Этот стиль жизни давит на нас, вот мы и пытаемся рассказать о себе
Я из-за всего этого дерьма парюсь все 365 ночей в году
А кто-то по-прежнему работает против нас, хочет извести, хочет лишить нас последних прав
Мы все одинаковые, куча денег и слава тебе ничего не дают
Мне было дерьмово, но я всегда старался улыбаться через боль и слёзы
Хотел бы я сейчас вернуться в то время, когда играл с пацанами ещё ребёнком
Куча дерьма поменялась, всё так, как оно есть
[Припев: BJ The Chicago Kid]
Просто (Просто так оно и есть)
Некоторые вещи никогда (Некоторые вещи никогда не изменятся)
Оу, оу, всё просто так, как оно есть (Как оно есть)
Как оно есть (О-оу)
Просто (Просто так оно и есть)
Некоторые вещи никогда (Некоторые вещи никогда не изменятся, нет-нет-нет-нет-нет)
Йеа, всё просто так, как оно есть (Как оно есть)
Как оно есть (Йеа)
[Аутро: BJ The Chicago Kid & Leia]
Никогда, никогда (Эй)
Некоторые вещи никогда не изменятся (Некоторые вещи никогда не изменятся)
Никогда, никогда (Нет, всё просто так, как оно есть)
Некоторые вещи никогда не изменятся
Ммм-ммм-ммм-ммм
Ммм-ммм-ммм
Ммм-ммм-ммм-ммм
Ммм-ммм-ммм
Ты наконец-то сделал это, большой братик
Теперь ты стал лучшим рэпером когда-либо
