[Verse 1: Jay Electronica & JAY-Z]
(Swizz Beats制作) 你好吗？亲爱的，你好吗？(阿拉伯语)
[Verse 2: JAY-Z & Jay Electronica]
从前，有一只小狮子
This shit is brazy, brazy, brazy
从耶路撒冷被掳走，到一个很远的地方
Once upon a time there was a likkle yout
鸽子王子哭着唱“紫雨” (wordplay，When Doves Cry和Purple Rain也是Prince的歌曲)
The cub of a lion, sold away captive a long way home from Zion
直到你听说侏儒站在巨人的肩膀上
The dove Prince sang about in purple rain cryin'
听着，我给我儿子起了名字，先生，所以你得叫我儿子“先生”
'Til the midget you heard tell of on his shoulders of the giant
那个男孩已经成为骑士，他甚至没有穿连裤
My son sir, you gotta call my son sir
你在王国里说话，你最好注意分寸，先生
That boy already knighted, he ain't even out his romper
我把你送到你从未去过的地方，你忘了我来自哪里，先生
You speakin' on the kingdom, you better watch your tongue sir
那些关于那个光头的流言蜚语，是他们把枪弄坏了，先生
I seen you where you never been, you forget where I'm from sir
我太疯狂了，我太疯狂了，我是“阳光下的葡萄干”(著名百老汇剧目，有关黑人的压迫)，先生
That gossip bout some bald heads, who got shit out the gun sir
你正好赶上这白天，你知道王国正在来临，先生
I'm brazy I'm so brazen, I'm "Raisin in the Sun" sir
轮子里面的轮毂(指救世主)周长半英里
You can catch this broad daylight, you know the kingdom come sir
这是马赫迪(伊斯兰教救世主)的回归，这是阿基(阿拉伯语，我哥哥)的回归
That wheel inside the wheel a half a mile in circumference
这是失而复得的阿努那奇部落(传说中的外星种族，是苏美尔人所崇拜的造物主)的回归
It's the return of the [magdi?], it's the return of the Akhis
这是沙库尔先生(Tupac)对狗仔吐痰(指不想被媒体打扰)的回归
It's the return of lost and found tribe of Shabazz the Annunaki
这是我的新篇章
It's the return of [?] paparazzi
盲
That's my new style
被光致盲
Blinding (Hit-Boy!)
这才看见星辰和我们的太阳
Blinding by the light
像老太太一样不断给予的礼物 (Babushka双关，老太太/俄罗斯套娃)
See the stars and our sun
在录音室里碾碎印度叶子，翻滚着向上推(这里Jay-Z的K push的发音听起来也像Kate Bush，她有一首歌叫Babooshka)
The gift that keeps givin' like Babushka
额外的，这是头条新闻
Kush crushed up in the studio, rollin' K push up
签了所有的合同却错过了最后期限
Extra, extra, it's mister headlines
四十个日夜，尽量不辜负人们的期望 (专辑发行前他曾发推说这张专耗费了40个日夜，并且特意在专辑发行40天前发推，而40在伊斯兰教中有着很深的象征意义)
Who signed every contract and missed the deadlines
这是一条人迹罕至的路，是错过航班的那条路
40 days, 40 nights, tryna live up to the hype
Hov (Jay-Z的昵称)对我说：“什么，你恐高?
It's the road less traveled, it's the one who missed the flights
知道你姐姐厌倦了工作
Hov hit me up like, "What, you scared of heights?
得给她点好处。”
Know you sister tired of workin'
我想：“他不知道我昨天熬夜看肥伦秀吗？”
Gotta do her something nice"
她需要面包，她需要米饭，她需要线，她需要冰
I'm like, don't he know I stay up for Fallon late nights
要么对着我的银行账户说，要么对着骰子说
She need bread, she need rice, she need threads, she need ice
当我躺在床上，我的头就像被钳子夹住一样
Either tell it to my bank account or say it to the dice
当我照镜子时，我只看到缺点
When I lay down in my bed it's like my head in the vice
当我看壁画时，我只看到墙壁
When I look inside the mirror all I see is flaws
在凌晨时分，想要挤出酒吧
When I look inside the mural all I see is walls
以真主的名义，这样你们就能随意批评我了吗？
And the wee hours of night, tryna squeeze out bars
盲
Bismillah, just so y'all could pick me apart?
被光致盲
Blinding
这才看见星辰和我们的太阳
Blinding by the light
See the stars and our sun
(Hit-Boy!)
