Текст песни: The Baton + перевод

Yeah, started from zero

But we never had zero ambition, I saw it all before it came to fruition

The fruits from my labor and vision meant

I would never dwell at the place I was livin', I would rather make me a living

while feeling alive

I’ll tell my niece about my dad, she’d never seen him alive but I see him when

I’m sleeping at night

What’s a guardian angel when there’s a demon inside of your forts?

Fronted by success and there’s people that I would endorse

So, I’m tryna see the whole team eat

We was going OT now we go O-T-T for the money clean up, I got OCD from nights

in the hotel OBE

Maybe-e, love is from the hate we breed cause my blood cousin fucking try to

make me bleed

I won’t ever let it go, son of a gun, you won’t ever let it go, I get it in and

you won’t ever get involved

No bad energy, I wish the best for my enemy

Mama told me that I should repent cause it would replenish me

I said, «Eventually,"nothing set in stone 'till the symmetry

I hope they lift me up after they bury me

That’s what you call legendary, Jay-Z, Big, we’re the same and if not,

then we’re to blame

It doesn’t matter, on the road to fame

Money or the problems, I was here for change

They ain’t ready for the war

With the yellow tape in the truck, yeah

Look at everything I bought

All from the pennies from my forts, yeah

They ain’t ready for the war

With the yellow tape in the truck, yeah

Look at everything I bought

All from the pennies from my forts, yeah

I’m writing this from my grave

I’ve died and I’ve gone away

My wife is in Holloway

And sky is on holiday

If Kai isn’t gonna rain

I’ve tried, should I contemplate?

The nights I was on the plane

Providing what’s on the plate

If I couldn’t stop the pain, then maybe I caused it

If I couldn’t fight the game, then maybe I bruised it

But if you can’t bring up your baby, then maybe you bought it

Cause at 4 you can leave your change, you’re enslaving your orphan

Or maybe I’m a slave to endorsements

Maybe I took this paper thing way out of proportion

Maybe it had me rapping for the plaques on my walls but now I’m forced to keep

on saying I’m awesome

Did you listen to Wretchrospective with a new perspective?

Are you now Growing Over Life or is this new objective?

Are you seeing in black and white or having colors blended?

Is your favorite FR32 verse, now my chapter’s ended

«I used to love Wretch when he was broke way before the success

Man, I’m talking F64S, that’s way before the dreads and all this righteous «Man, you don’t know my story, you just know my glory

I’m Shakespeare and Charles Dickens going Hamlet off me

I’m Spielberg and Spike Lee cameras on or off me

Man, I paint a picture like DaVinci, get a cameras from me

But you have to pay cash money

I’m already your dad’s son, is he your father that has stolen these raps from

me?

And he clash, that hash should be the Clash of the Titans, why would I

Battle with some shits when I could rap up your highness, this ain’t a problem,

it’s just simple mathematics, the minus

I’m still above you even when I’m reclining

I’m still above you even when I’m declining

And if you get above, it’s because I decided

I’m passing the baton

They ain’t ready for the war

With the yellow tape in the truck, yeah

Look at everything I bought

All from the pennies from my forts, yeah

They ain’t ready for the war

With the yellow tape in the truck, yeah

Look at everything I bought

All from the pennies from my forts, yeah
