Barbed Wire

English translation

One time

Reporting live

Compton, California

Have you ever felt like, like you never get life?

Like you never get right? Sort of like a black sheep

Back down, backing ultra dreams like some bad sleep

Chasing for the wind but you never win the track meet

Oh what a cold world for a broke nigga--it's bitter

And life's a bitch, don't hit women so I bit her

I struck enough pain let her know I wasn't playin'

I was so sincere like Nas first name

In Belly, they tell me

It's very difficult to see 25 and if I survive it'll probably be with a celly

My opportunities are low because my brown complexion floats in the ghetto rather in some heels like Giuseppe's

They want me unemployed, until I hit the streets

Fulfilling voids of broke D-Boys sellin' weed

Fuckin' up my prestige, till I live with the blues

BB King or the neighbors of Snoop

That's why I'm in the club like fuck it, though

They say it's only one life, life, life

And if you say I can't live comfortable

Ima tell you that's a lie, lie, lie

So while I hold this bottle of Ciroc with a hand full of ass

Celebrate the very day that I get past

Through the barbed wire

So while I hold this bottle of Ciroc with a hand full of ass

Celebrate the very day that I get past

Through the barbed wire

Have you ever felt like, like you never get life

Like you never did right? Sort of like a black sheep

Tryna get away from the World stereotype

Barbed wire got a barricade on your destiny

She desperately in need of some inspiration, see what the people sayin'

She gon have a baby then flee from her education

At the age of 16, credit card scam schemes

See a scar on her eye, boyfriend brutality

She will never get by, no how no way

Where every recipient, property of the state

Housing, Section 8, corner store, prostitute

The owner bout to prosecute, the niggas tell her that she's cute

Hood rat trashy, six baby daddies

And this baby daddy, is new to the family

Chillin' in pajamis, waitin' on the first

Fast forward spillin' drinks on her fur

That's why she in the club like fuck it, though

They say it's only one life, life, life

And if you say she can't live comfortable

She tell you that's a lie, lie, lie

So while she up in VIP pourin' Merlot in the glass

Celebrate the very day that she get past

Through the barbed wire

We are, we are (fine!)

We are, we are (true!)

Through the, through our (wires)

We will, we'll break (through!)

So while she in the VIP pourin' Merlot in the glass

Celebrate the very day that she get past

Through the barbed wire

Have you ever felt like, you finally got life

You finally got right? No longer a black sheep

Livin' off ya dreams like Christina uh-Milian in the front seat

Of a convertible elopin' to get married

What a feeling of overcoming the odds

It's like I just hit the lottery, my God

There must be a God

Cuz golly, you done made it through the fight while squabbling Ali

Now ya lifestyles lookin' up and you escaped the crooked cops and you ain't have to kill a nigga just to make a couple bucks

And she ain't have to go and fuck on anybody for a dollar, making good decisions

Got an independent business mind

And both of ya'll are steady grindin, doin' it the legal way just tryna make a decent pay on every second of the day

But they won't give you the credit, disses out they mouth

You must enter the Illuminati just to ball out

In the club like fuck it, though

They say it's only one life, life, life

And if you say they can't live comfortable

They gon tell you that's a lie, lie, lie

So even though you overcame doubt and ya livin' ain't bad

Know there's a barbed wire that's always in your past

Moving barbed wire
