Yea, yea I'm out that Brooklyn, now I'm down in Tribeca
我成長於布魯克林區，現在信步於翠貝卡街
Right next to DeNiro, but I'll be hood forever
雖然和羅伯特德尼羅做了鄰居，但我永遠是那個嘻哈仔
I'm the new Sinatra, and, since I made it here

I can make it anywhere, yea, they love me everywhere I used to cop in Harlem,
沒錯，我成功於世界，到處都有人歡迎我
All of my Dominicano's right there up on Broadway,
我曾在哈林區販毒，和多米尼加兄弟們廝混
Pull me back to that McDonald's, took it to my stashbox, 560 State St.
比鄰著百老匯的燈紅酒綠，我想起那家麥記快餐店
我在那裏藏我的粉，當然還有560號大街
Catch me in the kitchen like a Simmons wippin' pastry's
我調我的粉就像西蒙斯姐妹做她們的蛋糕壹樣純熟
Cruisin' down 8th St., off white Lexus
現在我駕駛著我的白色雷克薩斯，悠遊第八大道
Drivin' so slow, but BK is from Texas
行車悠閑，帶著來自德州的碧昂斯
Me, I'm out that Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie
當年我起步於The Notorious B.I.G的地盤Bed-Stuy
Now I live on Billboard and I brought my boys with me
現在我是公告牌常客，我的小夥伴們也和我壹起走上人生巔峰
Say whattup to Ty-Ty, still sippin' Mai Tai's
Tyran Smith怎麽了，再續壹杯Mai-Tai如何
Sittin' courtside, Knicks and Nets give me high five
坐在陸航和麥迪遜廣場花園的場邊，尼克斯球員和籃網球員都和我擊掌
Nigga I be Spike'd out, I could trip a referee
謔，我現在也和斯派克李那家夥壹樣可以耍壹耍裁判
Tell by my attitude that I'm most definitely from
沒錯這就是我的態度，因為我來自

Catch me at the X with OG at a Yankee game
在Bronx，我和Juan Perez壹起看洋基隊的比賽
Shit, I made the Yankee hat more famous then a Yankee can
我讓洋基隊棒球帽比洋基隊球員更出名
You should know I bleed blue, but I ain't a Crip though
想必妳知道我是藍血貴族而不是Crip幫派成員
But I got a gang of niggas walkin' with my clique though
雖然如此，我也有很多在道上混的朋友
Welcome to the melting pot, corners where we sellin' rock
歡迎來到紐約大熔爐，來到我們販毒的街角
Afrika Bambataa shit, home of the hip-hop
這裏是嘻哈文化的聖殿，也是Afrika Bambaataa的地盤
Yellow cab, gypsy cab, dollar cab, holla back
出租車和地下黑車的喇叭聲此起彼伏
For foreigners it ain't for, they act like they forgot how to act
司機們裝作忘記打表坑死外國人
Eight million stories, out there in it naked
紐約，有八百萬個故事
City is a pity, half of y'all won't make it
它們大多籍籍無名
Me, I got a plug, Special Ed "I Got It Made"
而我，卻是Special Ed那首“我成功了”的真實寫照
If Jesus payin' Lebron, I'm payin' Dwayne Wade

So they can step out of bounds quick, the sidelines is

Lined with casualties, who sip to life casually

淪落風塵，千人枕遍
Hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin
贊美聖母瑪利亞，妳尚純真
And Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church end
但妳若自甘墮落，耶穌也無能為力
Came here for school, graduated to the high life
帶著夢想來到這裏求學
Ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight
卻沈迷於聚光燈帶來的滿足，像球星們和說唱大佬
MDMA got you feelin' like a champion

The city never sleeps, better slip you an Ambien
不眠之都，讓妳借助藥物才能沈沈睡去
