We sell crack to our own
我们向自己的同胞贩卖毒品
Out the back of our homes
就在我们自己的家背后
We smell the musk at the dusk

In the crack of the dawn
直到黎明破晓时分
We go through Epidodes II

Like Attack of the Clones
如同《克隆人的进攻》一般
Work 'til we break our back
我们辛劳至筋疲力尽
And you hear the crack of the bone

To get by just to get by
只为苟且度日 勉强求生
Just to get by just to get by

Before my ni**a Core bailed me out
