Yeah, life is a balance
生活需要平衡
You lose your grip, you can slip into an abyss
你不再堅守內心的原則，終會跌入無底深淵
No doubt you see these niggas trippin'
毫無疑問，你看到這些傢伙誇誇其談
Ego in charge of every move, he's a star
他只關注自己，狂放不羈，他在業界赫赫有名
And we can't look away
我們怎能視而不見
Due to the days that he caught our hearts
因為他的音樂讓我們深深著迷
He's fallin' apart, but we deny it
說他的地位不斷下降，我們一口否決
Justifying that half-ass shit he dropped, we always buy it
無論他發行什麼專輯，我們都會收入囊中
When he tell us he a genius but it's clearer lately
當他說他就是個天才，但近來的事實證明了一切
It's been hard for him to look into the mirror lately
他很難真正審視自己
There was a time when this nigga was my hero, maybe
曾幾何時，我把他視為我的偶像
That's the reason why his fall from grace is hard to take
或許這就是為何他墮落後再難振作
'Cause I believed him when he said his shit was purer and he
因為我深信不疑，當他說他的音樂都是自己創作的
The type of nigga swear he real but all around him's fake
他發誓他一直展示真實的自己，但他周圍的人恰然相反
The women , the dickriders, you know, the yes men
他身邊的女人們，你知道，還有那些唯命是從的人，他們都無比虛偽
Nobody with the balls to say somethin' to contest him
當他地位顯赫，周圍的人只會對他言聽計從
So he grows out of control
所以他越發狂妄自大
Into the person that he truly was all along
變成現在這樣，其實他一直如此
It's startin' to show, Damn, wonder what happened
如今暴露一切，該死，事情怎麼會發展到如此地步
Maybe it's my fault for idolizing niggas
也許都是我的錯，過於崇拜他們
Based off the words they be rappin'
一直以為他們就像歌中寫的那樣
But come to find out, these niggas don't even write they shit
而如今才發現，這些傢伙一直在撒謊
Hear some new style bubblin' up, then they bite the shit
聽說了新的潮流，他們竭力追趕
Damn, that's what I get for lyin' to myself
該死，我簡直就是自欺欺人
Well, fuck it, what's more important is he's cryin' out for help
尤為重要的是，他正聲嘶力竭渴求得到幫助
While the world's eggin' him on, I'm beggin' him to stop it
當所有的人都在慫恿他繼續，只要我求他趕快停下了
Playin' his old shit, knowin' he won't top it, false prophets
只會唱他的老歌，深知他無法突破自我，虛偽的宣揚者

他一旦開口就滔滔不絕，伙計們都不搭理他，結果也不盡人意
And I know he so bitter he can't see his own blessings
我知道他痛苦不堪，他根本看不到自己的幸運之處

我總是表達自己的心聲，才不管別人說什麼
But in a sense I can relate, the need to be great
但在某種意義上我覺得，對成功心存渴望當然沒問題
Turns into an obsession and keeps a nigga up late
一旦這種渴望變為一種痴迷，那會讓人日思夜想，徹夜難眠
Writin' words, hopin' people observe the dedication
我寫下一切，希望人們看到這一番箴言
That stirs in you constantly, but intentions get blurred
