Текст песни: Born & Raised + перевод

Born and raised in a place that’s been abandoned

So when you make it out of here you feel like a champion

We don’t forget where we came from, but we ain’t in a rush to go back

Different day, same song, I still represent my hometown

Product of my environment where everybody’s selling drugs

So it seems like being a shotta is a requirement, and even if you ain’t a

shotta, you admire them

Feds wanna lock us in the lion’s den, I done run up into my car while my baby

mother was doing all my washing and my ironing

Those ain’t pills, that’s a bottle full of vitamins

The only time we dial 999 is when we need an ambulance or we hollering for

firemen

My brudda Wallace on my mind again, now I need a zoot and a bottle of Heineken

Drowning my sorrows and swallowing Ibufen, a lot of brothers I grew with are

not inna my life again

If they ain’t dead, then they’re probably with the lifers, then,

one day we was on the block playing Simon Says

Eastside resident, in and out of flats where the fiends like heroin

Been about and back, seen everything, bring an ounce of crack, tell 'em it’s

the Led Zeppelin

Hard rock, we in the struggle getting fast gwop

Truth be told, it’s a hustle that we can’t knock

, but try and get off the train before the last stop

I’m one of the lucky ones, you see my previous, my father same size as a

catalogue from Argos

The amount of man that I robbed with my mask on, I have to have a chat with God

before my heart stops

To ask him for forgiveness, I ended up doing all the things I used to witness

I never put myself in the shoes of the victims — fourteen, I was introduced to

the system

They say you can’t know where you’re going unless you know where you’re coming

from

Well, let’s just say I left footprints

And now I’m representing everybody from the bottom, yeah

Belief and faith
