Yeah life is a balance[00:00:20]
生活需要平衡[00:00:23]
You lose your grip you can slip into an abyss[00:00:23]
你不再坚守内心的原则 终会跌入无底深渊[00:00:25]
No doubt you see these niggas trippin'[00:00:25]
毫无疑问 你看到这些家伙夸夸其谈[00:00:27]
Ego in charge of every move he's a star[00:00:27]
他只关注自己 狂放不羁 他在业界赫赫有名[00:00:29]
And we can't look away[00:00:29]
我们怎能视而不见[00:00:30]
Due to the days that he caught our hearts[00:00:30]
因为他的音乐让我们深深着迷[00:00:32]
He's fallin' apart but we deny it[00:00:32]
说他的地位不断下降 我们一口否决[00:00:34]
Justifying that half a** sh*t he dropped we always buy it[00:00:34]
无论他发行什么专辑 我们都会收入囊中[00:00:38]
When he tell us he a genius but it's clearer lately[00:00:38]
当他说 他就是个天才 但近来的事实证明了一切[00:00:40]
It's been hard for him to look into the mirror lately[00:00:40]
他很难真正审视自己 [00:00:43]
There was a time when this ni**a was my hero maybe[00:00:43]
曾几何时 我把他视为我的偶像 [00:00:46]
That's the reason why his fall from grace is hard to take[00:00:46]
或许这就是为何他堕落后再难振作[00:00:48]
'Cause I believed him when he said his sh*t was purer and he[00:00:48]
因为我深信不疑 当他说他的音乐都是自己创作的[00:00:51]
The type of ni**a swear he real but all around him's fake[00:00:51]

The women the dickriders you know the yes men[00:00:53]
他身边的女人们 你知道 还有那些唯命是从的人 他们都无比虚伪[00:00:56]
Nobody with the balls to say somethin' to contest him[00:00:56]
当他地位显赫 周围的人只会对他言听计从[00:00:59]
So he grows out of control[00:00:59]
所以他越发狂妄自大[00:01:00]
Into the person that he truly was all along it's startin' to show[00:01:00]
