Letra Tradução

You motherfuckers better do your job and roll up and watch how we roll up and
I can't control it, can't hold it, it's so nuts
I take a sip of that yak, I want to fuck
I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck
But really what's amazing is how I keep blazing
Towel under the door smoke until the days end
Puff, puff then pass, don't fuck up rotation
Hypnotic for Henny, now nigga that's your chaser
Turn nothing to something now pimpin' that's a savior
Best things are green now pimp and get your paper
High off the ground instead of skyscraper
Too low thinkin' we local, come on homie, we major

We major (come on, homie, we major)

Feeling better than some head on a Sunday afternoon
Better than a chick that say yes to soon
Until you have a daughter, that's what I call karma
And you pray to god she don't grow breasts too soon.
Projects to' up, gang signs is thrown up
Niggas hats broke off that's how we grow up
Why else you think shorty's write rhymes just to blow up?
Get they first car and then IRS show up
He ain't never had shit but he had that nine
Nigga come through flickin' and he had that shine
Put two and two together in a little bad weather
Gon' be a whole family on that funeral line
Ask the reverend was the strip club cool if my tips help send a pretty girl through school
That's all I want like wino's want they good whiskey
I ain't in the Klan, but I brought my hood with me

You motherfuckers better do your job and roll up and watch how we roll up and
I can't control it, can't hold it, it's so nuts
I take a sip of that yak, I want to fuck
I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck
But really what's amazing is how I keep blazing
Towel under the door smoke until the days end
Puff, puff then pass, don't fuck up rotation
Hypnotic for Henny, now nigga that's your chaser
Turn nothing to something now pimpin' that's a savior
Best things are green now pimp and get your paper
High off the ground instead of skyscraper
Too low thinkin' we local, come on homie, we major

I heard the beat and I ain't know what to write
First line, should it be about the hos or the ice?
Four-four's or black Christ? Both flows would be nice
Rap about big paper or the black man's plight
At the studio console asked my man to the right
What this verse sound like, should I freestyle or write?
He said, Nas, what the fans want is Illmatic, Stillmatic
Picked up the pad and pencil and jotted what I feel
Been like 12 years since a nigga first signed
Now I'm a free agent
And I'm thinking it's time
To build my very own Motown
Cause rappers be deprived of executive 9 to 5s
And it hurts to see these companies be stealing the life
And I love to give my blood sweat and tears to the mic
So y'all copped the LPs and y'all fiends got dealt
I'm Jesse Jackson on the balcony where King got killed
I survived the livest niggas around
Lasting longer than more than half of you clowns
Look, I used to cook before I had the game took
Either way my change came like Sam Cooke

Feeling better than I ever felt before today
Like better late than never is orientation
Still we can make it better throwing all your cares away

You motherfuckers better do your job and roll up and watch how we roll up and
I can't control it, can't hold it, it's so nuts
I take a sip of that yak, I want to fuck
I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck
But really what's amazing is how I keep blazing
Towel under the door smoke until the days end
Puff, puff then pass, don't fuck up rotation
Hypnotic for Henny, now nigga that's your chaser
Turn nothing to something now pimpin' that's a savior
Best things are green now pimp and get your paper
High off the ground instead of skyscraper
Too low thinkin' we local, come on homie, we major

You motherfuckers better do your job and roll up and watch how we roll up and
Vocês filhos da puta é melhor fazerem o seu trabalho e enrolar e ver como nós enrolamos e
I can't control it, can't hold it, it's so nuts
Eu não consigo controlar, não consigo segurar, é tão louco
I take a sip of that yak, I want to fuck
Eu dou um gole naquele yak, eu quero foder
I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck
Eu dou uma tragada naquele crônico, isso me deixou preso
But really what's amazing is how I keep blazing
Mas realmente o que é incrível é como eu continuo queimando
Towel under the door smoke until the days end
Toalha debaixo da porta fumando até o fim do dia
Puff, puff then pass, don't fuck up rotation
Traga, traga e depois passe, não estrague a rotação
Hypnotic for Henny, now nigga that's your chaser
Hipnótico para Henny, agora negão isso é o seu perseguidor
Turn nothing to something now pimpin' that's a savior
Transforme nada em algo agora cafetão isso é um salvador
Best things are green now pimp and get your paper
As melhores coisas são verdes agora cafetão e pegue seu dinheiro
High off the ground instead of skyscraper
Alto do chão em vez de arranha-céu
Too low thinkin' we local, come on homie, we major
Pensando muito baixo que somos locais, vamos lá mano, nós somos grandes
We major (come on, homie, we major)
Nós somos grandes (vamos lá, mano, nós somos grandes)
Feeling better than some head on a Sunday afternoon
Sentindo-se melhor do que um boquete numa tarde de domingo
Better than a chick that say yes to soon
Melhor do que uma garota que diz sim muito cedo
Until you have a daughter, that's what I call karma
Até você ter uma filha, isso é o que eu chamo de karma
And you pray to god she don't grow breasts too soon.
E você reza a Deus para que ela não cresça os seios muito cedo.
Projects to' up, gang signs is thrown up
Projetos destruídos, sinais de gangues são jogados para cima
Niggas hats broke off that's how we grow up
Os chapéus dos negros se quebraram, é assim que crescemos
Why else you think shorty's write rhymes just to blow up?
Por que mais você acha que os manos escrevem rimas só para explodir?
Get they first car and then IRS show up
Eles pegam o primeiro carro e então o IRS aparece
He ain't never had shit but he had that nine
Ele nunca teve nada, mas ele tinha aquele nove
Nigga come through flickin' and he had that shine
Negão passa piscando e ele tinha aquele brilho
Put two and two together in a little bad weather
Junte dois e dois em um pouco de mau tempo
Gon' be a whole family on that funeral line
Vai ser uma família inteira naquela fila de funeral
Ask the reverend was the strip club cool if my tips help send a pretty girl through school
Pergunte ao reverendo se o clube de strip é legal se as minhas gorjetas ajudam a mandar uma garota bonita para a escola
That's all I want like wino's want they good whiskey
Isso é tudo que eu quero como os bêbados querem o bom whisky
I ain't in the Klan, but I brought my hood with me
Eu não estou no Klan, mas eu trouxe meu capuz comigo
You motherfuckers better do your job and roll up and watch how we roll up and

Too low thinkin' we local, come on homie, we major
Pensando muito baixo que somos locais, vamos lá mano, nós somos grandes
I heard the beat and I ain't know what to write
Eu ouvi a batida e eu não sabia o que escrever
First line, should it be about the hos or the ice?
Primeira linha, deveria ser sobre as putas ou o gelo?
Four-four's or black Christ? Both flows would be nice
Quatro-quatro ou Cristo negro? Ambos os fluxos seriam legais
Rap about big paper or the black man's plight
Rap sobre dinheiro grande ou a luta do homem negro
At the studio console asked my man to the right
No console do estúdio perguntei ao meu mano à direita
What this verse sound like, should I freestyle or write?
Como soa esse verso, devo improvisar ou escrever?
He said, Nas, what the fans want is Illmatic, Stillmatic

Picked up the pad and pencil and jotted what I feel

Been like 12 years since a nigga first signed
Faz uns 12 anos desde que um negão assinou pela primeira vez
Now I'm a free agent

E estou pensando que é hora
To build my very own Motown
De construir minha própria Motown
Cause rappers be deprived of executive 9 to 5s
Porque os rappers são privados de executivos das 9 às 5
And it hurts to see these companies be stealing the life
E dói ver essas empresas roubando a vida
And I love to give my blood sweat and tears to the mic
E eu adoro dar meu sangue, suor e lágrimas ao microfone
So y'all copped the LPs and y'all fiends got dealt
Então vocês compraram os LPs e vocês viciados foram tratados
I'm Jesse Jackson on the balcony where King got killed
Eu sou Jesse Jackson na varanda onde King foi morto
I survived the livest niggas around
Eu sobrevivi aos manos mais vivos por aí
Lasting longer than more than half of you clowns
Durando mais do que mais da metade de vocês palhaços
Look, I used to cook before I had the game took
Olha, eu costumava cozinhar antes de ter o jogo tomado
Either way my change came like Sam Cooke
De qualquer maneira minha mudança veio como Sam Cooke

Sentindo-me melhor do que nunca me senti antes hoje
Like better late than never is orientation
Como melhor tarde do que nunca é orientação
Still we can make it better throwing all your cares away
Ainda podemos melhorar jogando todos os seus cuidados fora

迷幻药加亨尼,伙计,那是你的追逐剂
Turn nothing to something now pimpin' that's a savior
从无到有,现在皮条客,那是救星
Best things are green now pimp and get your paper
最好的东西是绿色的,皮条客,去赚你的钱
High off the ground instead of skyscraper
比摩天大楼还要高
Too low thinkin' we local, come on homie, we major
想得太低,我们是本地的,来吧伙计,我们重要

[Refräng: Really Doe]
Ni motherfuckers bäst ni gör ert jobb och bra
Och kolla hur vi gör det, och
Jag kan inte kontrollera det, kan inte hålla det, det är så galet
Jag tar en klunk av cognac, jag vill ligga
Jag tar ett blås av gräs, det har mig fast
Men vad som är fantastiskt är hur jag fortsätter röka
Duk under dörren, vi röker tills dagen slutar
Puff-puff, sen ge, förstör inte rotationen
Hpnotiq för Henny? Nu, nigga, det är en chaser
Gör inget till något, nu, det är en räddare
Bästa saker är gröna, nu, hämta ditt papper
Hög från marken, från trapporna till skyskraporna
Lugna ner, tror vi är lokala, kom igen, bror, vi stora

[Stick: Kanye West]
Vi stora? Kom igen, bror, vi stora
Vi stora? Kom igen, bror, vi stora
Vi stora! Kom igen, bror, vi stora
Vi stora! Kom igen

[Vers 1: Kanye West]
Känns bättre än еn avsugning på en söndag eftermiddag
Bättrе än en brud som säger "Ja" för tidigt
Tills du har en dotter; det är vad jag kallar karma
Och du ber till Gud hennes bröst inte växer för snabbt
Projekts uppslitna, gängtecken uppe
Niggas kondomer trasiga, det är hur vi växer upp
Varför annars tror du vi skriver rim? För att bli stora?
Får deras första bil och sen, SKV dyker upp
Han har aldrig haft skit, men han hade en .9
Nigga kom och snärtade och han behövde skina
Lägg två och två tillsammans och lite dåligt väder
Kommer vara hela din familj i begravningskön
Frågade pastorn, "Var strippklubbarna coola?
Om mina dricks hjälpte skicka en snygg tjej genom skolan?"
Det är allt jag vill, som alkis vill ha bra whisky
Jag är inte i Klanen, men jag tog med min huva

[Refräng: Really Doe]
Ni motherfuckers bäst ni gör ert jobb och bra
Och kolla hur vi gör det, och
Jag kan inte kontrollera det, kan inte hålla det, det är så galet
Jag tar en klunk av cognac, jag vill ligga
Jag tar ett blås av gräs, det har mig fast
Men vad som är fantastiskt är hur jag fortsätter röka
Duk under dörren, vi röker tills dagen slutar
Puff-puff, sen ge, förstör inte rotationen
Hpnotiq för Henny? Nu, nigga, det är en chaser
Gör inget till något, nu, det är en räddare
Bästa saker är gröna, nu, hämta ditt papper
Hög från marken, från trapporna till skyskraporna
Lugna ner, tror vi är lokala, kom igen, bror, vi stora

[Stick: Nas]
Vi stora? Kom igen, bror, vi stora
Vi stora? Kom igen, bror, vi stora
Vi stora! Kom igen, bror, vi stora
Vi stora! Kom igen, bror, vi stora

[Vers 2: Nas]
Jag hörde beatet och jag vet inte vad jag ska skriva
Första raden-borde det vara om horor eller ice?
Fyra fyror eller svarta Kristus? Både flowen är bra
Rappa om papper eller den svarta mannens svåra situation
"Hur låter denna vers?" Borde jag freestyla eller skriva?
Han sa, "Nas, vad fansen vill ha är Illmatic, fortfarande"
Kollade på blocket och pennan, och skrev vad jag kände
Vart typ tolv år sen en nigga först signera
Nu, är jag en fri agent, och jag tycker det är dags
Att bygga min egna Motown
För rappare är berövande verkställande nio-till-fem
Och det gör ont att se dessa företag stjäla liv
Och jag älskar att ge mitt blod, svett och tårar till mikrofonen
Så ni köpta min LP och era fiender togs hand om
Jag är Jesse Jackson på balkongen när Kungen blev dödad
Jag överlevde den levande niggan häromkring
Höll längre än hälften av er clowner
Kolla, jag brukade koka innan jag tog spelet
Hur som helst, min ändring kom som Sam Cooke

[Brygga: Tony Williams & Nas]
Ba-dop-ba-ba (Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
Mår bättre än jag någonsin mått förut
Typ bättre sent än aldrig; det är orientering
Fortfarande, vi kan göra det bättre, kastar bort alla dina kommentarer
Oh, oh, oh, ooh!

[Refräng: Really Doe & Tony Williams]
Ni motherfuckers bäst ni gör ert jobb och bra
Och kolla hur vi gör det, och (Ba-dop-ba-ba)
Jag kan inte kontrollera det, kan inte hålla det, det är så galet
Jag tar en klunk av cognac, jag vill ligga
Jag tar ett blås av gräs, det har mig fast
Men vad som är fantastiskt är hur jag fortsätter röka
Duk under dörren, vi röker tills dagen slutar
Puff-puff, sen ge, förstör inte rotationen
Hpnotiq för Henny? Nu, nigga, det är en chaser (Oh, oh, oh, ooh!)
Gör inget till något, nu, det är en räddare (Ba-dop-ba-ba)

Hög från marken, från trapporna till skyskraporna
Lugna ner, tror vi är lokala, kom igen, bror, vi stora

Vi stora? (Kom igen, bror, vi stora)
Vi stora? (Kom igen, bror, vi stora)
Vi stora (Kom igen, bror, vi stora)
Vi stora

[Brygga: Tony Williams]
Oh, oh, oh, ooh! Ba-dop-ba-ba
Mår bättre än jag någonsin mått förut
Typ bättre sent än aldrig; det är orientering
Fortfarande, vi kan göra det bättre, kastar bort alla dina kommentarer!

[Talat: Kanye West & Tony Williams]
Kan jag prata min skit igen?
Kan jag prata min skit igen?
Jag kan inte tro på jag är tillbaka igen
Jag kommer bli sen, dock
Jag måste lista ut vad jag ska bära
Yeah
The Rock är definitivt i byggnaden
G.O.O.D. Music definitivt i byggnaden, ugh
Jag måste säga "Vad händer" till Tony Williams
På bryggan!
Sjunger-han sjunger ganska vacker, eller hur?
Eller hur?
Ugh
Och Jon Brion på piano nu
Och Warryn Campbell på piano nu
Så de fråga mig:
"Varför kallar du den Late Registration, Ye?"
För vi tar tillbaka dessa motherfuckers till skolan
La, la, la, la-la-la-la la
Om du kan delen här, kom igen och sjung med
La, la, la, la-la-la-la la

[Outro: Tony Williams & Kanye West]
Ba-dop-ba-ba (Oh)
Mår bättre än jag någonsin mått förut (Om du mår bra)
Typ bättre sent än aldrig; det är orientering (Det är orientering)
Men vi kan göra det bättre, kastar bort alla dina kommentarer!
Vi vill att du blir van med det här
Oh, oh, oh, ooh! Ba-dop-ba-ba
Ugh, de kan inte göra vad vi gör, baby
Uh-uh, uh-uh! De kan inte göra vad vi gör baby
Uh-uh, uh-uh! De kan inte göra vad vi gör, baby
Yeah
Oh, oh, oh, ooh!
