歌词
I've been working for the Devil too long
我一直为魔鬼所控
I've been working for the Devil too long
我一直为魔鬼所控
You see, I preyed on things and then I preyed on them
你瞧，我曾从事那种肮脏的勾当
And I took it to the corner, got paid off then
走向阴暗的角落，接受肮脏的财富
The destruction wasn't even on my radar then
对于我的堕落，我从不关心
And my heart was black, it was Darth Vadar then
我的心满满污浊，就像充斥了黑暗原力的达斯维达
It was jumbs to the bums, G packs to the OGs
每天与混混打交道，偷运给那些地头蛇
The money came to me, I sat back with my Co-Ds
金钱流入我的腰包，我随我肮脏的同事离开
Money changed hands and moved on like a cold breeze
金钱改变了我，我心如寒风一般透彻
And I ain't give a **** about death or an OD
我才不管死亡或是权力的诱惑
Mama always in my ear, saying that I didn't care
母亲的善言经常浮现于耳边，但我从没上心
But I ain't going back to being broke like this was yester-year
我不想回到过去没有金钱的穷苦生活
The plan is to try to be out in less than a year
我打算一年以内洗手不干，从监狱出来
No drugs, no thugs, no weapons in here
、帮派和武器都将成为过往
You see I'm trying to get out ma, but I feel trapped
您瞧母亲，我想逃离这种日子，但是深陷泥潭无法自拔
What employer gonna hire me when I sell crack?
我肮脏的前科让我无路可寻
I'm not fully rehabilitated, I fell back
我旧伤未愈，无法复出
And regret is a muhf****r, run, tell that
让反悔什么的都见鬼去吧，快跑！告诉我的母亲
I've been working for the Devil too long
我一直为魔鬼所控
I've been working for the Devil too long
我一直为魔鬼所控
Tempt us, lead us to the edge, watch the wise turn into fools
引诱我们走上绝路，将智者变为愚昧之人
The greatest lie ever been told is the one closest to truth
世上最完美的谎言便是最接近真实的谎言
I've been working for the Devil too long
我一直为魔鬼所控
I've been working for the Devil too long
我一直为魔鬼所控
I'm gone

You see, I preyed on things and then I preyed on y'all
你瞧，我曾从事那种肮脏的勾当
My attempt was to never get paid off y'all
我的梦想是帮助人民不求回报
When I was young I saw politicians of all stripes
我年少时，我见过各地的家
But all I saw was lies in they eyes and that's not right
但从他们眼中只能看到谎言，我对此嗤之以鼻
I said, "When I get older, I'm going to change s*it"
我曾说：“我长大后要改变这些。”
Take the welfare system and rearrange s*it

Years later, I'm quietly moving up the ladder
时光渐进，我慢慢走上政界的顶峰
Trying hard, realizing that it doesn't matter
竭尽全力，发现一无用处
My wife told me, "Baby, money doesn't buy elections
我的妻子对我说：“宝贝，金钱买不了权力，
Money doesn't buy votes, it just buys attention"
金钱收买不了他人的支持，只能买来麻烦。”
I kissed her on the head and told her she was right
我亲向她的脸颊，口口声声同意了她
But she couldn't understand and see the coldness of the plight
但她永远理解不了我所面对的困境
Couldn't understand why it's so cold for me at night
不知为何，感觉自己总是孤独无助
Cause political bribery just hold me in a vice
贿赂他人，但还是深陷困境
But there's always implicitly some string that's attached
好像总有个无形的细绳掌控这一切
By a muh'f****r think he got wings on his back
绳子的另一端是一个长着翅膀的人（权力极大的人）
You ain't an angel, probably, you working for the Devil
他不是个天使，而是一个恶魔的使徒
The nightmare of money, the league would be a rebel
金钱所带来的梦魇，联合起来攻打我的内心
I did all of you dirty, so I should've gone to jail
我做了他所要求的所有事，我不该
I took your f*****g government and put it up for sale
这个名号就像是货架上代售的东西一样价值低廉
Look, American democracy has been hacked
你瞧，美国的早已被改变
By the corrupt paradigm, that's a supreme fact
被那些的官员所改变，这毋庸置疑
And every word that I said in this song
