Who would have thought that painting pictures 'bout being broke
誰會想到在音樂中講述自己如何的窮困潦倒
Would get me riches like dealing coke
竟會讓我和販了毒一樣賺大錢
Like big brother used to do so we could stay afloat
我的哥哥曾經靠販賣可卡因來維持生計
I heard them guns outside my window, them gangsters would tote
童年時能聽見窗外的槍聲那些暴徒身上都攜帶著槍
Thought about the life I wanted, picked up the pen and then wrote
想了想我自己所渴望的生活便拿起筆來開始寫詞
While they was firing, you could hear sirens

With a rapper on every corner, like the rest of the nation

Passing bars back and forth like legal examinations

As a youngin, I was running wild

Me and my homies skipping school, puffing on that loud

My flow un-killable when I be murdering syllables
華麗的辭藻使我的flow錦上添花無人能及
But I take my time, slow it down, check the rhyme, perfectionist to the dime
現在我將語速放慢檢查一下韻腳一樣能把說唱做到極致
From the womb to the tomb, I be rapping till I'm dying, doingeverything I love
從娘胎到墳墓我會一直堅持說唱的事業和熱愛的東西直到我幹不動的那天

I'm thinking 'bout hitting it raw, shit I must be wilding out
可我只想著來得猛一些媽的我一定是失控了
But that pussy wet as hell, I think it's time to end the drought
但是她的逼逼濕了我覺得是該那樣子
Then again she could be burning, and that's not what I'm about
原來她有淋病天了嚕我可我不想這樣
So I dipped out, to live another day and die another night
於是我結束了這次約炮明天更精彩地活今晚不能就這麼死去
Cause when I'm gone that ain't gon' be the song that they recite
因為如果這樣的話這首歌在我死後將不會被後人傳唱【前面提到的女子暗喻以女人為主題的說唱歌曲，Logic在說自己不會寫這樣的歌，否則和“死”沒什麼兩樣】
