Paroles
I keep my chin up, back straight, check my shoulder
Remember what I told ya, I’m a soldier
I kick it when I’m down and I keep composing
And you never seen me sweat, but the sleeves might roll up
But when they roll up, nigga, I mean biz
And if I show up, nigga, I mean biz
And if you living holed up, nigga, I mean biz
And God is my witness, nigga, I mean biz
I mean biz, ain’t too much I ain’t dead
A gangster wanting mass appeal, well I ain’t dig
From the streets so don’t act like I ain’t there
And nigga, to turn a threat into a promise, I ain’t scared
They put the best away, my niggas is safe but I ain’t where
Streets is still watching like Jay-Z said
In case you’re listening, puzzled like I ain’t hear
Hit me up and leave a message, but I ain’t here
I’m thinking about that '09 BM you might see me in
So when I say I mean biz, I mean it
I see in the future, a sun I could be in
Or with a chick with nice long legs, in between them
Y’all know what my dream is
Y’all ain’t coming between it
Undefined retaliation, show you the meaning
I went from to because of Allah
Still remember what I was told by my mama
Keep my chin up, back straight, check my shoulder
Remember what I told ya, I’m a soldier
I kick it when I’m down and I keep composing
And you never seen me sweat, but the sleeves might roll up
But when they roll up, nigga, I mean biz
And if I show up, nigga, I mean biz
Wait a minute, hold up, nigga, I mean biz
And God is my witness, nigga, I mean biz
You see I try to prepare myself
For this world outside
I get up early about five and do my exercise
Clear my mind, four sets is 25, the music loud
I write, I’m on the balcony watching the sun climb
To the top of the sky
That inspires me to scribe harder and talk to God right
Today when we alright, put on a right of pearls and the album on the server
State of mind, girl, in hopes they will try to curl you
I plan my day before stepping out there
Do this foolish eight hours just so I can count bread
And my daughter’s mouth fed, that goes without saying
Co-workers cracking jokes but I been not playing
I got a plan in my mind, yeah I’m handling mine
And it’s a habit to grind, to look me dead in my eyes
Put it all on the line, then I record it through rhyme
think large
We living in a system with no checks and balances
Traduction des paroles
État d'esprit, fille, dans l'espoir qu'ils vont essayer de vous boucler
Je planifie ma journée avant de sortir
Faites ces huit heures stupides juste pour que je puisse compter le pain
Et la bouche de ma fille nourrie, cela va sans dire
Collègues de cracking blagues, mais je ne joue pas
J'ai un plan en tête, Ouais je gère le mien
Et c'est une habitude de broyer, de me regarder mort dans les yeux
Mettez tout sur la ligne, puis je l'enregistre à travers la rime
penser grand
Nous vivons dans un système sans freins et contrepoids
