La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Grew up in the south side of that river Thames
Hard to think outside the box when you're stuck in the ends
I had dreams of many things as youngin'
I was fourteen when the streets offered tough lovin'
Older brother went to jail, daddy weren't around
No choice now but to be the man of the house
If you're talking role models, nowhere to be seen
You can't fathom what I think 'til you've been where I've been
PTSD from the roads, trouble was everywhere that I looked
Hard to avoid it, even if I just kept my head in my books
There ain't no easy way out, drowning internally
When you're stuck in a ocean of doubt
With all this uncertainty
Lived being angry my whole life like it's part of my DNA
I couldn't tell you why I became something that we embraced
Then we take that same anger and turn it into someone else's pain
Nothing's changed here, the cycle still remains
Mama told me my sun will shine, we don't decide
Everything in God's time
And when mama told me, I prayed to God
To walk with me, my journey's begun
See, my mama told me my sun will shine, we don't decide
Everything in God's time
And when mama told me, I knew that I
Was strong inside but we all cry sometimes
Shit changed when I had a brief encounter with death
Thought the pearly gates opened when that knife was in my chest
Not the mental scars, the scars physical's all you see
But the boy that stabbed me is just as damaged as me
I could've been the reflection that he hated
The part of him he wishes God did not waste time creating
The broken homes in which we're coming from, bwho's the blame when
You're dealt the same cards from the system your enslaved in?
It's fucking mayhem
Imagine being in the hospital, wired up to the machines
They told me I had been in a coma for two weeks
But time is an illusion, my mind told me I'm invincible
But my body reminded me I'm human
When you're so close to the Heavens, God shows you who's there
Nowhere to be seen are the people who said they care
This must've been written for people who came to read it
'Cause life gave me a second chance and many never see it

We eat from a tree full of forbidden fruits
Not about what you see but what lives in the root
We eat from a tree full of forbidden fruits
We all know real criminals live in the suit
Like the sun in the sky
Spread your wings, fly
We're going high
We all know real criminals live in the suit

Grew up in the south side of that river Thames
Cresci no sul daquele rio Tâmisa
Hard to think outside the box when you're stuck in the ends
Difícil pensar fora da caixa quando você está preso no fim
I had dreams of many things as youngin'
Eu tinha sonhos de muitas coisas quando era jovem
I was fourteen when the streets offered tough lovin'
Eu tinha quatorze anos quando as ruas ofereceram amor duro
Older brother went to jail, daddy weren't around
Irmão mais velho foi para a cadeia, papai não estava por perto
No choice now but to be the man of the house
Não há escolha agora senão ser o homem da casa
If you're talking role models, nowhere to be seen
Se você está falando de modelos, não há nenhum a ser visto
You can't fathom what I think 'til you've been where I've been
Você não pode entender o que eu penso até que você esteja onde eu estive
PTSD from the roads, trouble was everywhere that I looked
PTSD das estradas, problemas estavam em todo lugar que eu olhava
Hard to avoid it, even if I just kept my head in my books
Difícil de evitar, mesmo se eu apenas mantivesse minha cabeça nos meus livros
There ain't no easy way out, drowning internally
Não há saída fácil, afogando internamente
When you're stuck in a ocean of doubt
Quando você está preso em um oceano de dúvida
With all this uncertainty
Com toda essa incerteza
Lived being angry my whole life like it's part of my DNA
Vivi sendo bravo a minha vida toda como se fosse parte do meu DNA
I couldn't tell you why I became something that we embraced
Eu não poderia te dizer por que eu me tornei algo que abraçamos
Then we take that same anger and turn it into someone else's pain
Então pegamos essa mesma raiva e a transformamos na dor de outra pessoa
Nothing's changed here, the cycle still remains
Nada mudou aqui, o ciclo ainda permanece
Mama told me my sun will shine, we don't decide
Mamãe me disse que meu sol vai brilhar, nós não decidimos
Everything in God's time
Tudo no tempo de Deus
And when mama told me, I prayed to God
E quando mamãe me disse, eu orei a Deus
To walk with me, my journey's begun
Para andar comigo, minha jornada começou
See, my mama told me my sun will shine, we don't decide
Veja, minha mãe me disse que meu sol vai brilhar, nós não decidimos
Everything in God's time
Tudo no tempo de Deus
And when mama told me, I knew that I
E quando mamãe me disse, eu sabia que eu
Was strong inside but we all cry sometimes
Era forte por dentro, mas todos nós choramos às vezes
Shit changed when I had a brief encounter with death
As coisas mudaram quando tive um breve encontro com a morte
Thought the pearly gates opened when that knife was in my chest
Pensei que os portões do céu se abriram quando aquela faca estava no meu peito
Not the mental scars, the scars physical's all you see
Não são as cicatrizes mentais, as cicatrizes físicas é tudo que você vê
But the boy that stabbed me is just as damaged as me
Mas o garoto que me esfaqueou está tão danificado quanto eu
I could've been the reflection that he hated
Eu poderia ter sido o reflexo que ele odiava
The part of him he wishes God did not waste time creating
A parte dele que ele deseja que Deus não tenha perdido tempo criando
The broken homes in which we're coming from, bwho's the blame when
As casas quebradas de onde viemos, quem é o culpado quando
You're dealt the same cards from the system your enslaved in?
Você recebe as mesmas cartas do sistema em que está escravizado?
It's fucking mayhem
É uma puta confusão
Imagine being in the hospital, wired up to the machines
Imagine estar no hospital, ligado às máquinas
They told me I had been in a coma for two weeks
Eles me disseram que eu estive em coma por duas semanas
But time is an illusion, my mind told me I'm invincible
Mas o tempo é uma ilusão, minha mente me disse que sou invencível
But my body reminded me I'm human
Mas meu corpo me lembrou que sou humano
When you're so close to the Heavens, God shows you who's there
Quando você está tão perto dos céus, Deus mostra quem está lá
Nowhere to be seen are the people who said they care
Não há ninguém a ser visto são as pessoas que disseram que se importam
This must've been written for people who came to read it
Isso deve ter sido escrito para pessoas que vieram lê-lo
'Cause life gave me a second chance and many never see it
Porque a vida me deu uma segunda chance e muitos nunca a veem

No puedes entender lo que pienso hasta que hayas estado donde he estado
PTSD from the roads, trouble was everywhere that I looked
TEPT de las carreteras, los problemas estaban en todas partes que miraba
Hard to avoid it, even if I just kept my head in my books
Es difícil evitarlo, incluso si solo mantengo la cabeza en mis libros
There ain't no easy way out, drowning internally
No hay una salida fácil, ahogándose internamente
When you're stuck in a ocean of doubt
Cuando estás atrapado en un océano de dudas
With all this uncertainty
Con toda esta incertidumbre
Lived being angry my whole life like it's part of my DNA
Viví estando enojado toda mi vida como si fuera parte de mi ADN
I couldn't tell you why I became something that we embraced
No podría decirte por qué me convertí en algo que abrazamos
Then we take that same anger and turn it into someone else's pain
Luego tomamos esa misma ira y la convertimos en el dolor de otra persona
Nothing's changed here, the cycle still remains
Nada ha cambiado aquí, el ciclo aún permanece
Mama told me my sun will shine, we don't decide
Mamá me dijo que mi sol brillará, no decidimos

To walk with me, my journey's begun
Que camine conmigo, mi viaje ha comenzado
