Yeah life is a balance

生活需要平衡

You lose your grip you can slip into an abyss

你不再坚守内心的原则 终会跌入无底深渊

No doubt you see these niggas trippin'

毫无疑问 你看到这些家伙夸夸其谈

Ego in charge of every move he's a star

他只关注自己 狂放不羁 他在业界赫赫有名

And we can't look away

我们怎能视而不见

Due to the days that he caught our hearts

因为他的音乐让我们深深着迷

He's fallin' apart but we deny it

说他的地位不断下降 我们一口否决

Justifying that half ass shit he dropped we always buy it

无论他发行什么专辑 我们都会收入囊中

When he tell us he a genius but it's clearer lately

当他说 他就是个天才 但近来的事实证明了一切

It's been hard for him to look into the mirror lately

他很难真正审视自己

There was a time when this nigga was my hero maybe

曾几何时 我把他视为我的偶像

That's the reason why his fall from grace is hard to take

或许这就是为何他堕落后再难振作

'Cause I believed him when he said his shit was purer and he

因为我深信不疑 当他说他的音乐都是自己创作的

The type of nigga swear he real but all around him's fake

他发誓他一直展示真实的自己 但他周围的人恰然相反

The women the dickriders you know the yes men

他身边的女人们 你知道 还有那些唯命是从的人 他们都无比虚伪

Nobody with the balls to say somethin' to contest him

当他地位显赫 周围的人只会对他言听计从

So he grows out of control

所以他越发狂妄自大

Into the person that he truly was all along it's startin' to show

变成现在这样 其实他一直如此 如今暴露一切

Damn wonder what happened

该死 事情怎么会发展到如此地步

Maybe it's my fault for idolizing niggas

或许都是我的错 过于崇拜他们

Based off the words they be rappin'

一直以为他们就像歌中写的那样

But come to find out these niggas don't even write they shit

而如今才发现 这些家伙一直在撒谎

Hear some new style bubblin' up then they bite the shit

听说了新的潮流 他们竭力追赶

Damn that's what I get for lyin' to myself

该死 我简直就是自欺欺人

Well f**k it what's more important is he's cryin' out for help

尤为重要的是 他正声嘶力竭 渴求得到帮助

While the world's eggin' him on I'm beggin' him to stop it

当所有的人都在怂恿他继续 只有我求他赶快停下来

每次我看见他 他都会再三强调 他会重奏所有经典之作

Talkin' 'bout niggas don't f**k with him the shit is depressin'

他一旦开口就滔滔不绝 伙计们都不搭理他 结果也不尽人意

And I know he so bitter he can't see his own blessings

我知道他痛苦不堪 他根本看不到自己的幸运之处

Goddamn nigga you too blind to see you got fans nigga

该死 伙计 你已被名利蒙蔽了双眼 看不到你也拥有很多粉丝

And a platform to make a classic rap song

你拥有很好的平台可以大展身手

To change a nigga's life but you too anxious livin' life

试图改变目前的处境当然可以 但你太过焦虑

Always worried 'bout the critics who ain't ever f**kin' did it

I write what's in my heart don't give a f**k who f**kin' with it

我总是表达自己的心声 才不管别人说什么

But in a sense I can relate the need to be great

但在某种意义上我觉得 对成功心存渴望当然没问题

Turns into an obsession and keeps a nigga up late

一旦这种渴望变为一种痴迷 那会让人日思夜想 彻夜难眠

Writin' words hopin' people observe the dedication

我写下一切 希望人们看到这一番箴言

That stirs in you constantly but intentions get blurred

My highest moments come from tellin' all the saddest stories
