Somebody shoulda told me it would be like this

Yeah, life is a balance
生活需要平衡
You lose your grip, you can slip into an abyss
你不再坚守内心的原则，终会跌入无底深渊
No doubt you see these niggas trippin'
毫无疑问，你看到这些家伙夸夸其谈
Ego in charge of every move, he's a star
他只关注自己，狂放不羁，他在业界赫赫有名
And we can't look away
我们怎能视而不见
Due to the days that he caught our hearts
因为他的音乐让我们深深着迷
He's fallin' apart, but we deny it
说他的地位不断下降，我们一口否决
Justifying that half-ass shit he dropped, we always buy it
无论他发行什么专辑，我们都会收入囊中
When he tell us he a genius but it's clearer lately
当他说他就是个天才，但近来的事实证明了一切
It's been hard for him to look into the mirror lately
他很难真正审视自己
There was a time when this nigga was my hero, maybe
曾几何时，我把他视为我的偶像
That's the reason why his fall from grace is hard to take
或许这就是为何他堕落后再难振作
'Cause I believed him when he said his shit was purer and he
因为我深信不疑，当他说他的音乐都是自己创作的
The type of nigga swear he real but all around him's fake
他发誓他一直展示真实的自己，但他周围的人恰然相反
The women, the dickriders, you know, the yes men
他身边的女人们，你知道，还有那些唯命是从的人，他们都无比虚伪
Nobody with the balls to say somethin' to contest him
当他地位显赫，周围的人只会对他言听计从
So he grows out of control
所以他越发狂妄自大
Into the person that he truly was all along
变成现在这样，其实他一直如此
It's startin' to show, Damn, wonder what happened
如今暴露一切，该死，事情怎么会发展到如此地步
Maybe it's my fault for idolizing niggas
也许都是我的错，过于崇拜他们
Based off the words they be rappin'
一直以为他们就像歌中写的那样
But come to find out, these niggas don't even write they shit
而如今才发现，这些家伙一直在撒谎
Hear some new style bubblin' up, then they bite the shit
听说了新的潮流，他们竭力追赶
Damn, that's what I get for lyin' to myself
该死，我简直就是自欺欺人
Well, fuck it, what's more important is he's cryin' out for help
尤为重要的是，他正声嘶力竭渴求得到帮助
While the world's eggin' him on, I'm beggin' him to stop it
当所有的人都在怂恿他继续，只要我求他赶快停下了
Playin' his old shit, knowin' he won't top it, false prophets
只会唱他的老歌，深知他无法突破自我，虚伪的宣扬者

Talkin' 'bout, niggas don't fuck with him, the shit is depressin'
他一旦开口就滔滔不绝，伙计们都不搭理他，结果也不尽人意
And I know he so bitter he can't see his own blessings

Goddamn, nigga, you too blind to see you got fans, nigga

And a platform to make a classic rap song

I write what's in my heart, don't give a fuck who fuckin' with it
我总是表达自己的心声，才不管别人说什么
But in a sense I can relate, the need to be great
但在某种意义上我觉得，对成功心存渴望当然没问题
Turns into an obsession and keeps a nigga up late
一旦这种渴望变为一种痴迷，那会让人日思夜想，彻夜难眠
Writin' words, hopin' people observe the dedication
我写下一切，希望人们看到这一番箴言
