Grew up here and did my damn best, or,
I'd just be bullshitting, bullshitting, bullshitting. 1
Grew up here and did my damn best, or,
If I said I had another option, I'd just be bullshitting.
I had a dream to chase, didn't have time for their shitty games.
I just wanted to achieve that, mhm.
Block slowly and quietly rolled down like fucking snow to deep. 2
We were chasing money in this dream, and halfway down the road, we stumbled.
I fired all my shots to take it from 5 to 10. 3
We never complained, even when shit hit the fan, yeah. 4
My childhood is written on these shitty sheets.
My badass dad, drowning in his business, didn't consider us, kept us in the dark. 5
That poverty has been here for a long time, busy fucking Themis. 6
What the fuck is borrowing, dude, take a loan. 7
Yeah, credit is here, now every day is our birthday.
We're gonna buy a big flat-screen TV on Sunday.
We'll entertain our kids at an expensive place. 8
Let's take another round dude, credit is already our salvation.
Everyone did their best, or,
I bullshitted, saying there was a different option.
I just had one dream, no fucking games.
I just wanted to achieve that.
My baby girl, you don't need these kinds of relationships.
Only thing you told me:
— "I'm not sure you can keep this going."
— But, I love you.
— "I love you so much, but I also have other opportunities on my plate. I believe in your dream, but I have doubts about your ability to change this situation." 9
Look at my situation: 10
Every fucking day is like a birthday for me already.
(Every fucking day birthday!)
I still remember all your condescending behaviors. (All your condescensions!) 11
Just like today, I never needed to know those damn stupid ideas. (Ideas)
With your tired knees, now you're kneeling in front of me. 12
Now look here, bitch:
You can't pour my drink down that shithole anymore. 13
(You won't drink a single drop anymore)
You won't be able to drink a drop of my drink and me. (М-м, м-м)
I'm not that stupid drunk anymore. (М-м)
Your social thoughts, your own pit. 14
Look at me, show me those two.
Look at me, no, show me all the bitches.
Look at me, they don't realize anything, they don't know what they're doing.
Look at me, there's a lot of noise in there.
It seems like they are watching me from outside. 15
Come on, check, check, check.
Do you understand that you are in my situation? Are you aware? Do you realize you are in my situation? 16
Come on, check, check, check.
Are you aware? How to be in my situation, how to be in my situation?
Play, bitch!
- 1. lie
- 2. Adil (Адиль/artist name). I also translated this into a few Russian raps. In American rap, the neighborhood is generally ignited (developed) thanks to those children, but in Russian rap, on the contrary, the neighborhood falls into a bad situation (while children have no influence). In short, these bad times cannot be explained in American rap. A generalization like everything.
- 3. 5/10, it's halfway there and he used all his performance to make it 10/10 (the best). Here he describes himself as a weapon.
- 4. He wanted to say that he went to bad ways to make money here. (Gambling, drug/dealer etc.)
- 5. The father profile we see in movies/TV series who hides his depression and thinks everything is normal. (company collapse depression)
- 6. Themis is the goddess of justice/order. Here, Adil (Artist name) emphasizes that in some cases he was excluded/injustice due to financial problems.
- 7. loan/bank credit, I thought this was only in our country, but it's global, lol. People take out loans to buy a house/car, then show off with it, thinking they're rich, but they're in debt
- 8. Celebration of something? Maybe it's a wedding or an entertainment event, the important thing is that it's "luxury/expensive".
- 9. What needs to change is when a girl wants more than one guy, lmfao.
- 10. Now, we're going to enrich our own poverty with the expressions of the rich folks we fuck around above.
- 11. Adil said on a program that he was dating a girl before he found fame. This girl despised him, didn't want to be seen with him in public, was ashamed of him, and used him as bait. It's all because Adil is poor.
- 12. I think the bitch is coming back, and it's like she's kneeling for Adil's feelings again, but this time, she's kneeling for money. Those tired knees show how hard the bitch has worked.
- 13. I think he's counting the actions she despises here.
- 14. What's emphasized here is to highlight that a girl, by choosing the wrong guy or his stuff, ends up hurting herself and can never be the same again. It's so flexible that you can apply it everywhere.
- 15. stalk or that simple men don't do, "creppin"
- 16. Adil changed their lives with that bitch.

With the help of a friend, I explained what was meant. This led to comments/additions. Also under the influence of Hip Hop. There are semantic deviations for the last verse..

You should win a contest for most footnoted translation, and the original one - for most annotated ?
Hahaha, waiting for the site to see me! The strange thing is that there are hundreds of these on my profile..?
