And I started from the bottom
Like a snowman, ground-up
Like round chuck, and still put hands on you
Stayin' wound up is how I spend time (get it?)
Sucker free, confidence high
Such a breeze when I pen rhymes
I just got that air about me like wind chimes (yeah)
Another day in the life (uh)
Used to have to scrape to get by (yeah)
Now my community's gated and I
Made it and my neighbors say hi (say hi)
I'm givin' 'em pounds, I'm upscale now
Guess it means I'm way in the sky (way in the sky)
But I still remember the days of
Minimum wage for general labor
Welfare recipient since a minor
Look how government assistance has made ya!
Adversity, if at first you don't succeed
Put your temper to more use
'Cause bein' broke's a poor excuse
That should only give you more fuel
Show 'em why you're you
So close, God, it's like I almost got it
But close only counts in time bombs and horseshoes
So I Unabomb shit, tick, tick, tick, no remorse, pew
Screw it, I'm lit, and that attitude I blew up on quick
That's why they call me firecracker
I grew up on WIC, wick, wick, wick, with a short fuse
I got some important news to report to
Anyone who thought I was done: nah bitch, not quite
Spotlight's back on, got my faith, where's yours?
Do you still believe in me?
Didn't I give everything I had to give you to make you see?
I'll never forget if you turn your back on me now
And walk out, I will never let you live it down
I'll never quit, do you still believe in me?
Man, I know sometimes
These thoughts can be harsh and cold as ice
To me they're just ink blots
I just fling 'em like slingshots and so precise
So you might wanna think it over twice (yeah)
Or you retards can roll the dice
But beef will at least cost you your career
'Cause even my cheap shots are overpriced
But this middle finger's free as a bird
Nuke warhead at birth, hugest forehead on Earth
Too short for the verse, studied his formula, learned
How to incorporate a curse
Point it towards corporate America
Stick a fork in and turn
'Cause four-letter words are more better heard
The world force-fed a turd to me, you're getting yours
But sometimes I overdo it, but I just get so into it
I was there consolin' you when no one knew it
When your situation showed no improvement
I was that door, you walked over to it
I'm the light at the end of tunnel
So people are always lookin' to me as they're goin' through it
When that tunnel vision is unclear
Shit becomes too much to bear
Since "Cleanin' Out My Closet"
When I was havin' trouble with the snare
I'm that unrealistic prayer answered
And I'ma get you jacked up like you're tryna fix a flat, uh
When you struggle with despair
That double-fisted, bare-knuckles coupled with this pair
Of nuts I'm cuppin', I am your fuckin' switch, nothin' can compare
Do you still believe in me?
Didn't I give everything I had to give you to make you see?
I'll never forget if you turn your back on me now

I'll never quit, do you still believe in me?
Started from the bottom like a snowman
Oh man, put that in your corncob pipe and smoke that
But my battery's low, I'ma need a boost to my pack
And I know that I always got Proof at my back
I called you "Proof" because I knew for a fact

Fake fans left you two-faced at the show

So I walk in this bitch with loose change
'Cause all my dues paid, but this booth's takin' its toll

That goes for you too, so what the fuck you gon' do?
Use the tools you're given!
Or you're gon' use the cards you're dealt
As an excuse for you to not do shit with 'em?
I used to play the loser/victim
'Til I saw the way Proof was driven
I found my vehicle and I haven't ran out of gas yet
And when they stacked decks, turn handicaps into assets
Fanny packs, hourglasses
If time was on my side, I'd still have none to waste
Man, in my younger days
That dream was so much fun to chase
It's like I'd run in place
While this shit dangled in front of my face
But how do you keep up the pace
And the hunger pangs once you've won the race?
When that dual exhaust is coolin' off
'Cause you don't got nothin' left to prove at all
'Cause you done already hit 'em with the coup de grâce
Still you feel the need to go full tilt

E eu comecei do zero
Like a snowman, ground-up
Como um boneco de neve, construído do chão

Como carne moída, e ainda coloco as mãos em você
Stayin' wound up is how I spend time (get it?)
Ficar enrolado é como eu passo o tempo (entendeu?)
Sucker free, confidence high

The world force-fed a turd to me, you're getting yours
Le monde m'a forcé à avaler une merde, tu vas avoir la tienne
But sometimes I overdo it, but I just get so into it
Mais parfois j'en fais trop, mais je suis juste tellement dedans
I was there consolin' you when no one knew it
J'étais là pour te consoler quand personne ne le savait
When your situation showed no improvement
Quand ta situation ne montrait aucune amélioration
I was that door, you walked over to it
J'étais cette porte, tu as marché vers elle

Quand j'avais des problèmes avec la caisse claire
I'm that unrealistic prayer answered
Je suis cette prière irréaliste exaucée

N'ai-je pas tout donné pour te faire voir ?
I'll never forget if you turn your back on me now
Je n'oublierai jamais si tu me tournes le dos maintenant
And walk out, I will never let you live it down
Et que tu pars, je ne te laisserai jamais l'oublier
I'll never quit, do you still believe in me?
Je n'abandonnerai jamais, crois-tu toujours en moi ?

Sozialhilfeempfänger seit ich minderjährig bin
Look how government assistance has made ya!
Schau, wie dir die staatliche Unterstützung geholfen hat!
Adversity, if at first you don't succeed
Widerstand, wenn du beim ersten Mal nicht erfolgreich bist
Put your temper to more use
Setze deinen Ärger mehr ein
'Cause bein' broke's a poor excuse
Denn arm zu sein ist eine schlechte Ausrede
That should only give you more fuel
Das sollte dir nur mehr Kraftstoff geben

[Перевод песни Eminem — «Believe»]
[Куплет 1]
Я поднялся прямо с днища
Как снеговик — путь вверх
Как с лопаткой; и не лезь ко мне
С шилом в жопе, трачу время так (Усёк?)
Чист как лист, сила орла
Лёгкий бриз от сложных рифм
Голова на ветру как морозилка (Йеа)
Мой классический день (Ах)
Раньше сводил конец к концу (Йеа)
Теперь меня приняло общество
Соседи говорят "Привет" (Привет)
Раздаю в высшей лиге всем пять
Видно сдал житуху на "5" ('уху на пять)
Но я помню те дни, как вчера:
Пособиями страна богата
Пособий утрата
Посмотри как страна эта богата!
Промахи бывают у всех
Выжми из этого всё
Бедность — не оправдание
Она должна дать тебе сил
Покажи, почему ты — это ты
Так близко, Боже, ну почти
Но почти никогда не считается
Я Унабомбер, тик-тик-тик, и всё!
Огонь в глазах плюс вспыльчивость
Поэтому меня прозвали фейерверком
Без ангела предо-предо-предохранителя
У меня есть парочка новостей каждому
Кто думал, что я сдал: не в этот раз, суки
За мной Божий свет и вера, а где твоя?
[Припев]
Всё ещё веришь в меня?
Разве я не дал тебе всё, чтобы ты раскрыл глаза?
Я не прощу тебе, если ты нажмёшь на тормоза
И просто уйдёшь, не дам тебе жить с этим
Я не сдамся; всё ещё веришь в меня?
[Куплет 2]
Знаю, иногда
Эти безумные мысли сводят с ума
Для меня они — кляксы
Снаряды для рогатки, но глаз — алмаз
Так что подумай дважды (Йеа)
Перед тем как заигрывать со мной
Потому что биф будет стоить тебе ящика
Ведь и дешёвые пули убивают насмерть
Но мои слова — не воробей
Ядерная боеголовка и семь пядей во лбу
Заученная формула коротка
Направить весь гнев свой
Прямиком в ядро Америки
Воткнуть трезубцем
И послать на три буквы: лучше, чем терпеть
То дерьмо, которым она тебя кормит
Но иногда я перебарщиваю: затягивает
Я был твоим тайным советником
Когда ситуация казалась безвыходной
Я был той дверью для тебя в конце туннеля
Из которой льётся свет
Поэтому люди считают меня таким просвещённым
Когда впереди один мрак
И глаза застилает пелена
С "Cleanin' Out My Closet"
Когда с ударными была херня
Я — ответ на твою молитву
Я быстро поставлю тебя на ноги, даже если ты стоишь на ногах -
Одна нога тут, другая там
Эти набитые с голыми костяшками кулаки в паре
С двумя яйцами, я — твой переключатель "пошло оно"
[Припев]
Всё ещё веришь в меня?
Разве я не дал тебе всё, чтобы ты раскрыл глаза?
Я не прощу тебе, если ты нажмёшь на тормоза
И просто уйдёшь, не дам тебе жить с этим
Я не сдамся; всё ещё веришь в меня?
[Куплет 3]
Поднялся прямо с днища, как снеговик
Ох, чувак, подержи-ка моё пиво
Батарейка садится, нужен какой-то толчок
Я знаю, что за мной следит Proof
И я зову тебя так, потому что знаю наверняка
Своего туза в рукаве, дружище, я вызываю тебя
Потому что вера во мне иссякает, так что
Укажи мне путь и дай мо—
—тивацию биться, Хусейн с флоу
Лицемерные фанаты отступают
Пусть биты аккомпанируют ненависть в моей душе
Записываю это второй день подряд
Скажу честно: ненавижу идти по этому пути
Но это единственная тропа, чтоб пересечь эту дорогу
Так что я ставлю всё на кон
Хотя всё оплачено, и эта будка всё равно заберёт своё
Но не поздно начать всё сначала
Это относится и к тебе, так хули ты медлишь?
Возьми всё в свои руки!
Или ты будешь жаловаться на жизнь
Как танцор, только чтоб ничего не делать?
Я считал себя неудачником/жертвой
Пока не увидел, чем движем Proof
Я нашёл свою нишу, но не знал с чего начать
Пока они перетасовывали карты, я брал, что есть
Рюкзаки, песочные часы
Даже если б время было за меня, у меня не было бы часов
Чувак, в моём детстве
Это мечта была недостижима
Словно я бегу на месте
Пока она болтается у меня перед глазами
Но как ты продолжаешь гонку
Умирая от голода и оторвавшись от всех вперёд?
Когда второе дыхание сходит на нет
Ведь тебе нечего терять
И ты уже поразил их coup de grâce
Ты продолжаешь гнать на всех парах
Это Брюс Уиллис, это "Голубая сталь", это истинное мастерство
Когда колёса оторвутся, я не остановлюсь
Всё ещё веришь?
[Verse 1]
Ve en alttan başlıyorum..
Bir kardan adam gibi, zemin yükseliyor
Yuvarlak bir ayna gibi ve hala senin ellerini tutuyor..
Sarılmaya devam et, nasıl mı vakit geçiriyorum ?
Yalayıcı serbest, bu kafiyeyi yazarken güven esintim yüksekte
Bu havaya sahibim.. Tıpkı rüzgar çanları gibi.. (Evet)
Hayatta başka bir gün.. (uh)
Elde etmem için kazımam gerekti. (Evet)
Şimdi topluluğumun kapısı kapalı
Bunu ben yaptım komşularım 'merhaba' derken..
Bu poundu veriyorum (poundu veriyor)
Şimdi lüksüm. -- Sanırım gökyüzü benim yolum..
Ama hala tüm emeklerim için asgari ücretli günleri hatırlıyorum
Küçüklükten beri, bu hukümet yardımının nasıl geçtiğine de bakın!
Zordaysanız ve ilk seferde başarılı olamazsanız;
Öfkeyi daha çok kullanmaya itmelisiniz
Çünkü mükemmellik; Kötü fakir mazeretini kırıyor
Bu sadece sana daha fazla gaz verecek, ne yapabileceğinizi gösterin!
Çok yakındı, tanrım, sanki neredeyse yapıyormuşum gibi
Ama yakın, zamanda sadece bomba ve at nallarıyla sayılır
Bu yüzden ben bomba bir bokum, - tick,tick,tick,tick -
Pişman olmuyorum kilise sırasında! Vidalıyor
Ben yanıyorum ve bu tutumu hızlıca havaya uçuruyorum
Bu yüzden beni ''çatlak'' diye çağırıyorlar
WIC kuponları ile büyüdüm - wick,wick,wick, -
Kısa süreli sigortayla.. Bildirmek için bazı önemli haberlerim var; Bittiğimi düşünen herkese.. ''Hayır kaltak! Henüz değil.''
Spot ışıkları tekrar yanıyor, kendime inancım tam, seninki nerede ?
[Nakarat]
Hala bana inanıyor musun?
Vermek zorunda olduğum her şeyi yeterince vermedim mi ?
Senin görebilme'ni sağlamak için..
Eğer şimdi; bana sırtını dönüp çıkarsan asla unutmayacağım
Çık ve yürü, asla yaşamdan düşmene izin vermeyeceğim
(Asla vazgeçmeyeceğim!) Bana hala güveniyor musun ?
[Verse 2]
Adamım, biliyorum ki bazen
Düşünceler buz kadar sert ve soğuk olabilirler
Onlar sadece benim için mürekkep lekeleri
Onları tıpkı bir salıncak gibi atıp duruyorum yani
İki kere düşünmeyi isteyebilirsin bu serseriler zarı attığında
Bu Beef en azından senin kariyerine mal olur
Çünkü ucuz çekimlerim bile pahalı..
Ama orta parmaklarım kuş kadar özgür!
Nükleer savaş başlıklı doğum- dünyada ki en alçak alın-
Verse için çok kısa, bunun formülünü inceledi
Ve nasıl küfürlü yapabileceğini öğrendi
Kurumsal yönü Amerika'ya doğru çevirin
Çatallayın ve döndürün. Çünkü dört harfli kelimeler daha iyi duyulur
Dünya beni bir pislikle doldurdu sen de seninkini alıyorsun
Ama bazen abartıyorum bunun içine giriyorum..
Orada 'Konsolide' edildim, kimsenin bilmediği zamanlar
Durumumuz iyileşme göstermezken;
Ben bu kapıydım, sende bana doğru yürüdün
Tünelin sonundaki ışık benim
Insanlar bana her zaman bakıyorlar çünkü geçiyorlar..
Ve tünelin vizyonu temiz olmadığında bok atacak çok şey olur
"Cleanin' Out My Closet" den beri snare ile sorun yaşıyorken , gerçekçi olmayan dualara cevaplar verdim
Ve ben, uh! Seni kaldırıp alıyorum sanki seni düzeltmeye çalışıyormuşum gibi. Uh!
Umutsuzlukla mücadele ettiğinde
Bu çift-yumruklar, çifte-boğumla bu çift'e bağlandı
Bu fıstıklarla alay ediyorum, ben senin anahtarınım beni karşılaştıramayacağın bir şey yok
[Nakarat]
Hala bana inanıyor musun?
Vermek zorunda olduğum her şeyi yeterince vermedim mi ?
Senin görebilme'ni sağlamak için..
Eğer şimdi; bana sırtını dönüp çıkarsan asla unutmayacağım
Çık ve yürü, asla yaşamdan düşmene izin vermeyeceğim
(Asla vazgeçmeyeceğim!) Bana hala güveniyor musun ?
[Verse 3]
Alttan başlıyorum bir kardan adam gibi
Oh adamım, şunu mısır koçanına sok ve tüttür
Ancak pilim düşebiliyor, paketimi yükseltmeye ihtiyaç duyuyorum
Ve şunu da biliyorum ki; Her zaman arkamda Proof 'a sahibim
Sana ''Proof'' diye sesleniyorum çünkü ben 'gerçeği' biliyordum
Kartlarım delik içinde, kanka, seni geri istiyorum!
Çünkü, düşünüyorum ki yavaş yavaş inancımı kaybetmeye başladım bu yüzden ;
Bana bu ''Apron'' ve motivasyonu ver , devam edebilmek için
[Saddam] flowu ile, sahte hayranlar
Senden ayrılıyor, iki yüzlüler gösteride
Kalp atışlarının dönmesine, ruhumdan nefret etmesine izin ver
Satırda ki vocalleri iki gün üst üste dizin
Bu yolda gitmekten nefret ediyorum ama
Bu köprüyü geçmek için tek bir rota var
Yani, ''gevşek'' bir değişimle bu kaltağa yürüyorum
Çünkü bütün aidatlarım ödenmişti, ama bu kabin ücretini alıyor
Fakat yeni bir başlangıcı başlatmak için asla çok geç değildir
Bu senin içinde geçerli. şimdi ne sikim yapacaksın!?
Sana dağıtılan araçları kullan! Ya da
Sana dağıtılan kartları kullanacaksın
Onlarla bir bok yapmamak senin için bir mazeret mi?
Eskiden kaybeden yada kurbanı oynardım
Proof un tahrik yolunu görene dek..
Aracımı buldum ve benzini henüz bitmedi
Ve güverteleri istifleyince, engeller varlıklara çevrilir ;
Bel çantaları ve kum saatleri. Zaman benden taraf olsaydı
Hala boşa harcayacak bir şeyim olmayacaktı
Adamım, gençlik çağlarımda bu rüyayı kovalamak çok eğlenceliydi
Sanki olduğum yerde koşuyormuş gibi bu bok yüzüme çarparken
Ancak, nasıl ayak uydurabilir sin- açlık sıklaşır mı yarışı kazandıkça?
Yakıt egzozu ne zaman soğutulup kapatılıyor ?
Çünkü, kanıtlayacak hiç bir şeyin kalmadı(!)
Çünkü, sen yaptın onları ''coup de grâce'' ile vurmuştun zaten
Hala tam 'eğilme' ihtiyacını hissediyorsun
Bu ''Bruce Willis'', bu *Mavi çelik* gibi, bu gerçek yetenek
Bu tekerlek gevşediğinde kaybetmeyeceğim, hala inanıyor musun?
[Nakarat]
Hala bana inanıyor musun?
Vermek zorunda olduğum her şeyi yeterince vermedim mi ?
Senin görebilme'ni sağlamak için..
Eğer şimdi; bana sırtını dönüp çıkarsan asla unutmayacağım
Çık ve yürü, asla yaşamdan düşmene izin vermeyeceğim
(Asla vazgeçmeyeceğim!) Bana hala güveniyor musun ?
