I was up against the wall

I had no foundation
街头分析者,现在我写下文字想要向导这些
No friends and no family to catch my fall
没有政治权力,只有歌词的力量
Running on empty, with nothing left in me but doubt
坐在一个角落里的箱子里,啜饮了几个小时
I picked up a pen
计划这出头之日,从黄昏到日出
And I wrote my way out (I wrote my way out)
我的兄弟还在候审,我们年轻罪不重
Nas: I picked up the pen like Hamilton

Street analyst, now I write words that try to channel 'em

Sittin' on a crate on a corner, sippin' for hours
整晚在街道穿行的老鼠令人作呕
Schemin' on a come up, from evening'to sun up
87年里根主义,我已经写了很多页
My man awaitin' trial, misdemeanors we younger

Jailhouse lawyers, these images still relevant
我是建筑师,就像我写代码给Waze一样(Waze:交通社交软件)
Flickerin' lights inside my project hall
我驱动着,从皇后区里的神
Sickenin', the mice crawl all night long
It Was Written它的定义是什么 ( It Was Written:Nas1996年发行的专辑)
And '87 Reaganism, many pages I've written on
明白我的意思吗?
Writin' songs about rights and wrongs and bails bonds
我为自己写下出路
Master bedroom, bigger than the crib that I was raised at
当世界与我为敌时
I'm the architect like I wrote the code to Waze app
我会反抗这隔阂
I'm driven, black Elohim from the streets of Queens

与朋友发展关系,我知道他们想念我
No friends and no family to catch my fall
在地铁卡之前,是一个令牌,我还会骑车
Running on empty, there was nothing left in me but doubt

I picked up a pen
十六岁时别抓住,搬到了山区
And I wrote my way out (I wrote my way out)

Never had wrote a rhyme in my life, what was a sixteen?
妈妈买不起,我只能在书店里看
At sixteen, arrested in housin', trips to the mountains
,香槟派对,不带mixtape的私人舞者
Came right back, trappin' off couches, watchin' for mouses
廉价的鱼罐头,现在我都可以吃鱼排了
Only tools we was posed with, had a spot, smoke lit
我坚持着,妥协着,让它跟进一步
The hate is just confusion, pay attention how them jokes switch
比赛临近,我是一个没有长矛的斯巴达人
Diadora was my favorite, the Mark Buchanans
三百首韵文,在我写之前已被写下
Mama couldn't afford them, I learned everythin' on the border
机会敲着门,错过了,窗户就会关上了
That's a big 8, Clicquot parties with private dancers with no mixtape

Bumble Bee Tuna, now we could get steak

I persevered, composition, I kept it close
当世界与我为敌时
Competition near, I'm a Spartan without the spear

我爸爸想要我反击但那是徒劳的
Runnin' out of time like I'm Jonathan Larson's rent check

My mind is where the wild things are, Maurice Sendak
过于敏感,毫无防备,我理解了这一点,我一直在努力
In withdrawal, I want it all, please give me that pen back
我要去学习我的强项,然后把它们击倒
Y'all, I caught my first beatin' from the other kids when I was caught readin'

该死的,你一点都不冷静,我是无情的
My pops tried in vain to get me to fight back
我知道Abuela从来没中奖过 (Abuela:是LMM音乐剧中的人物
Sister tapped my brains, said, pssh, you'll get 'em right back

Oversensitive, defenseless, I made sense of it, I pencil in

The lengths to which I'd go to learn my strengths and knock 'em senseless

I know Abuela's never really gonna win the lottery

This Puerto Rican's brains are leakin' through the speakers

Nas: Really, I saw like a hole in the rap game,
so if I wanted to put my little two cents in the game,
then it would be from a different perspective
(I wrote my way out)
I thought that I would represent for my neighborhood and tell their story,
be their voice, in a way that nobody has done it
Tell the real story
