– Tri ujutro, vraća se s posla, na putu kući.

– Omotali su joj košulju oko glave i oborili je na pod

They got to the roof and then held her down on the ground
– Došli su na krov i držali je na Zemlji.

– Vrisak, ” umukni, jebote, i prestani da se krećeš!”
The shirt covered her face, but she screamed and clawed
– Košulja joj je prekrila lice, ali je vrištala i grebala.

– Slomljena vilica mrmljala je za Boga, ali nisu bili zabrinuti.
When they were done and she was layin’
– Kada su završili i ona je ležala
Bloody, broken and bruised
– Krvav, slomljen i u modricama
One of them niggas pulled out a brand new .22
– Jedan od njih crnje izvukao potpuno novi .22

– Rekli su mu da je ona svjedok kroz šta je prošla.

– A ako ju je ubio, garantovano mu je mjesto u ekipi.
He thought about it for a minute, she was practically dead
– Razmislio je na trenutak, bila je praktično mrtva.
And so he leaned over and put the gun right to her head
– Nagnuo se i prislonio joj pištolj na glavu.
I’m fallin’ and I can’t turn back
– Padam i ne mogu da se vratim.
I’m fallin’ and I can’t turn back
– Padam i ne mogu da se vratim.
Right before he pulled the trigger and ended her life
– Pre nego što je povukao obarač i okončao njen život.
He thought about the cocaine with the platinum and ice
– Razmišljao je o kokainu sa platinom i ledom
And he felt strong standin’ along with his new brothers
– I osjećao se snažno stojeći zajedno sa svojom novom braćom
Cocked the gat to her head and pulled back the shirt cover
– Nabio joj pištolj u glavu i povukao poklopac za košulju
But what he saw made him start to cringe and stutter
– Ali ono što je vidio natjeralo ga je da se naježi i muca.
‘Cause he was starin’ into the eyes of his own mother
– Jer je gledao u oči svoje majke
She looked back at him and cried ’cause he had forsaken her
– Pogledala ga je i plakala jer ju je napustio
She cried more painfully than when they were rapin’ her
– Plakala je bolnije nego kad su je silovali
His whole world stopped, he couldn’t even contemplate
– Ceo njegov svet je stao, nije mogao ni da razmišlja
His corruption had successfully changed his fate
– Njegova korupcija je uspješno promijenila njegovu sudbinu
And he remembered how his mom used to come home late
– I sjetio se kako je njegova mama dolazila kasno kući.
Workin’ hard for nothin’, because now what was he worth?
– Naporno je radio za ništa, jer koliko je vrijedio?
He turned away from the woman that had once given him birth
– Okrenuo se od žene koja ga je jednom rodila
And cryin’ out to the sky, ’cause he was lonely and scared
– I plakao prema nebu, jer je bio usamljen i uplašen
But only the Devil responded, ’cause God wasn’t there
– Ali samo je đavo odgovorio, jer Bog nije bio tamo
And right then he knew what it was to be empty and cold
– I tada je znao kako je biti prazan i hladan.
And so he jumped off the roof and died with no soul
– I tako je skočio sa krova i umro bez duše
They say death takes you to a better place, but I doubt it
– Kažu da te smrt vodi na bolje mjesto, ali sumnjam.
After that, they killed his mother, and never spoke about it
– Nakon toga su mu ubili majku i nikada o tome nisu pričali
And listen, ’cause the story that I’m tellin’ is true
– I slušaj, jer priča koju pričam je istinita.
‘Cause I was there with Billy Jacobs, and I raped his mom too
– Jer sam bio tamo sa Billyjem Jacobsom, i silovao sam i njegovu mamu.
And now the Devil follows me everywhere that I go
– A sada me đavo prati svuda gde idem
In fact, I’m sure he’s standin’ among one of you at my shows
– U stvari, siguran sam da stoji među vama na mojim nastupima.
And every street cypher, listenin’ to little thugs flow
– I svaka ulična šifra, sluša male siledžije kako teku.
He could be standin’ right next to you, and you wouldn’t know
– Možda stoji pored tebe, a ti to ne znaš.

There’s no diversity because we’re burnin’ in the melting pot
– Ne postoji raznolikost jer Gorimo u loncu za topljenje
So when the Devil wants to dance with you, you better say never
– Pa kad đavo želi plesati s tobom, bolje reci nikad
Because a dance with the Devil might last you forever
– Jer ples sa đavolom može da ti traje zauvek.
