Someone Told Me

English translation

I'm telling you, they're all animals. All of them.

The way they look at you, the way they talk to you, the way they think.

It's just not normal.

It's not right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Someone told me that it's you against the world, homie.

To control things, don't let things control me.

And that heaven's not above and hell is not below me. It's all here, homie. Yeah, in front of your eyes.

How you live and how you move, and these the things that decide if there's demons in your crew as you be walking on clouds, or if there's angels in your circles as you walk through the fires.

And so we walk through the flames and through the clouds we gon' dance. See the flies in my ways, hey, maybe I got a chance.

See, every dark has its day, and every cat has a plan.

And we surrounded by snakes, so I be hiding they fangs. A bunch of animals here. I cannot hide what I am.

Let the truth set you free. Let lions out of the den.

Keep your enemies near, and keep your eyes on your friends, 'cause in the wild there ain't no mercy for the ones who pretend. Ain't no me, no them, we human, understand, uh.

Where I'm from, there is no solid ground to stand.

Try to bring me down, but diamonds do not bend, no.

Live many lives and I'll do it again. Yeah. It's a build-up of what

I learned, seen, heard, and now I feel much.

Yeah, I can stand up 'cause I gave my all to the people and I'm still up. Yeah.

I'm still up while the wave rolls through. Can't try to doze off.

Yeah, ain't no walk in the park. Got me looking around.

Don't get lost in this forest. Don't let 'em break all your spark. Yeah.

Someone told me know the difference being alone and being lonely.

That being happy on your own is the greatest skill to hone, but solitude and isolation kill a man slowly.

But lately, I can't tell the difference.

It's hard to really tell when you keeping them at a distance.

Ain't no one getting close 'cause I can't tell what their intentions.

In a jungle full of danger from the animals who in it, it's survival of the fittest, so we push it to the limit.

Baby, get it how you live it, and we living on the edge. Tell me who the hero. Can you tell me who the villain?

Can you tell if they're authentic in everything that they say?

Show me who the phony. Baby, show me who the realest.

Can you show me what's the difference after either one is dead?

It's all the same in the end. It's kill or be killed here, my friend.

Ain't no me, no them, we human, understand, uh.

Where I'm from, there is no solid ground to stand.

Try to bring me down, but diamonds do not bend, no. Live many lives and I'll do it again.

Yeah.

Don't need greatness, all I'm saying is guard your heart, they're bound to break it. Love is painless, I've been patient. Feels like I'm drowning, arms are waving.

Wishing someone would come to save me.

Come to save me.

I'm clear like stainless.

So I'm bound to, bound to.

Don't need greatness, all I'm saying is guard your heart, they're bound to break it. Love is painless, I've been patient. Feels like

I'm drowning, arms are waving. Wishing someone would come to save me.

Come to save me.

I'm clear like stainless.

-So I'm bound to, bound to. -It's a jungle gym on the high, high pole.

All the times we lived in the past with ghosts.

And the hearts we give to the sun so warm that the lights in there ain't not gonna glow.

I am falling, falling, falling so low.

I am falling, falling, falling so low.
