As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
正如我漫步山谷的死亡阴影
I take a look at my life and realise there's nuthin' left
看看我的生活，发现并没有留下什么,
'Cuz I've been blasting and laughing so long, that
因为我一直xd，疯笑
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
连我的妈妈认为我没救了
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
但我知道一切荒诞都不该怪别人
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
我知道自己是个懦夫
You better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking
你最好小心说话的方式和地点
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
不然兄弟们会横尸街头
I really hate to trip but i gotta loc
我真的讨厌旅行,但必须这样
As I Grow I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
我看到他们挂了，看到在枪林弹雨中长大的自己，笨蛋!
I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
我可是小混混崇拜的对象
on my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight.
黑夜中,我跪下，在灯红酒绿里喃喃说着祈祷词

I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger

And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool

Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away,
死亡不过就是心脏没了跳动
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say
我还活着,生存还是死亡,我又能说什么?
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24
