Levantore

Yeah it's just ghetto
这就是贫民窟的生活
Kid test the devil to hit the next level
少年挑战命运 渴望突破枷锁
Wish they was a rebel with cerebral metal
但愿他们能觉醒 以钢铁般的意志反抗
Inflex the bezzle with the peddle to the metal
在金钱的游戏中 踩着油门加速前进
In a thug's paradise where love have a price
在这暴徒的天堂 爱情也被明码标价
So we love for life like thugs love the night
所以我们用生命去爱 就像暴徒迷恋黑夜
They sell *** for ice for the Benz with bug lights
他们贩卖***换取豪车 只为那闪亮的车灯
Some hug mics to the world hung like parasites
有人紧握麦克风 如寄生虫般依附世界
The likes lethal the mics lead you
致命韵律从麦克风倾泻而出
A sneak preview watch what we do
先睹为快 看我们如何改写规则
And what the hood teach you
街头教给你的生存法则
I still see through the eye of a needle
我仍透过针眼窥见
So I can watch people
只为看清众生百态
'Cause slug backwards is evil
因为倒写的子弹即是恶魔
Levantore

Yo what's this
嘿 这是什么
Yo bust this
嘿 来点狠的
Yo it's time to up lift
嘿 是时候奋起
They think all we do is bust clips and puff splifs
他们以为我们只会开枪和吞云吐雾
And plush whips and clutch chips and touch chicks
炫豪车 数钞票 泡妞把妹
Flont rocks like Fort Knox and hog blocks
戴金链如堡垒 占街区称王
Taunt cops with more props and we want not
戏弄警察耍把戏 我们啥都不缺
Panhandling with your mans and them
跟着兄弟在街头乞讨
Scrambling gambling plans to win
在赌局中挣扎求生
While the cops clock 'em thieves flock 'em
警察盯梢 盗贼聚集
Women watch 'em traders wanna top 'em
女人们观望 毒贩想称王
Ay yo what's the problem
嘿 这到底怎么回事
Before the narcs knock 'em
在缉毒警突袭之前
Opposite playas plot to rob 'em
敌对帮派正策划抢劫
The ghetto got 'em
贫民窟困住了他们
My man said it's rough at the bottom
兄弟说底层生活太艰难
Levantore

Ghetto alert let's do
贫民窟警报 行动起来
Whatever work to get rid of the curse
为摆脱诅咒而奋力拼搏
We went from 1st to America's worst
我们从巅峰跌至谷底
On this competitive turf
在这残酷的竞技场
Now let's inherit the earth
现在让我们重掌命运
There's more prize for one another
为彼此争取更多奖赏
And call shots
把握机会 主宰人生
12:00 'til the next ball drop
从午夜狂欢到下一个新年倒计时
All year around plus they shuffle non stop
整年不停歇 他们舞步永不休
You think it's rough at the bottom
你以为底层已足够艰难
It's even rougher on top
高处更令人窒息难言
My peeps gonna have to reach and turn for me
我的伙伴们必须挺身而出为我而战
And everybody's side of the street'll be celly
每条街道都将沸腾欢庆
Ain't nothing funny
这绝非儿戏
Burn plenty and burn money
挥霍无度又疯狂敛财
And earn money and watch the century turn 20
见证世纪更迭 二十年代卷土重来
Levantore

We all should from the woods
我们都该从丛林走出
To the big city and the small hood
无论大都市或贫民窟
Everybody should be welcome
每个人都该被接纳
To the ball if we all could
若能共享盛宴该多好
But we fall 'cause we brawl
却因争斗坠入深渊
Yo it ain't all good
生活并非尽如人意
We need to play right
我们需要循规蹈矩
Stay tight with ya air alight
保持警惕 时刻清醒
Keep your game tight
谨言慎行 步步为营
No need to play trife
不必铤而走险
Get cheese from the daylight to the late night
从早到晚 为生计奔波
And it's shouldn't take death to appreciate life
不该等到失去才懂得珍惜
Before a lot parish
在更多人倒下之前
We got to cherish if Allah let us
若蒙真主垂怜 我们当珍惜这份恩典
Let's give prop and merits till the block flourish
让我们携手共建 直到街区重现荣光
In this metropolis stay on top of this
在这繁华都会中 始终屹立巅峰
You know what the prophet is be prosperous
先知教诲永铭记 愿繁荣常伴左右
Levantore

Now we networking
此刻我们心手相连
Respect the next person
尊重每个同胞
It'll be less hurting
伤痛自会减轻
Or left lurking while we kept our dreads working
或是潜伏暗处 我们仍保持警惕
Connect set for certain total networking
建立牢固联系 编织完整关系网
Last chance to advance and stash grands
这是最后机会 积累财富向前进
If you have plans to have fam and mad land
若你渴望家庭 和属于自己的土地
Own shine condone crime or hold 9s
默许罪行 或是紧握武器
I know what the problem is killing our own kind
我明白残害同胞才是问题根源
To my flame throwers train sober remain soldiers
致我的战友们 保持清醒 坚守阵地
Stay sane so these pretty dames can hold us
保持理智 让美好的人儿能依靠我们
Terror terrain rollers
恐惧之地 车轮滚滚
And range rovers so the train goers
豪车飞驰 列车呼啸
Claim your fame maintain till your game's over
追逐名利 直至终局
