Bit by bit torn apart we never win

一点一点地被击垮，我们永远不会胜利

But the battle wages on for toy soldiers

但是战争仍因为我们这些玩具兵继续着

I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure

我本应该像个战士般，从不丧失理智

Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders

就算我扛下这一切的一切

I am never supposed to show it my crew ain't supposed to know it

我本就不该发泄出来，我的弟兄也没必要知道这些

Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter

即便是有关Benzino的事接踵而至也无所谓

I'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless I absolutely have to

我从不把他们拖下水，除非我显然是不得不这么做

I'm supposed to set an example

我必须做出个榜样

I need to be the leader my crew looks for me to guide 'em

担当起领袖，我的弟兄们需要我来指引他们

If some sh*t ever just pop off I'm supposed to be beside 'em

如果哪个家伙突然挂了，我也得站在他们这边

Now Ja said I tried to squash it it was too late to stop it

现在Ja Rule说，我试图阻止这场口水战，但为时已晚

There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it

明明有条界限你没有越过但他越过了

I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it

我听到他在一首歌中念道Hailie的名字我简直抓狂了

我花了太多的精力在这上面，老实说我已经精疲力尽了

And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it

我已经身不由己了，就感觉这一切是因我而起的一样

This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for it's not why I got in it

这不是我所要Hip-Hop的，也不是我进入Hip-Hop圈的原因

That was never my object for someone to get killed

我的目的绝不是要某人挂掉

Why would I wanna destroy something I help build

为什么我要毁掉我亲手建立起来的呢

It wasn't my intentions my intentions was good

这不是我的初衷，我的初衷是善意的

I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' Suge

在我的说唱生涯中我甚至未曾提到过Suge

Now it's just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth

我只是出于尊重，没有开腔谈论

And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about

那些我本就知之甚少的事

Plus Dre told me stay out this just wasn't my beef

加上Dr.Dre叫我别插手，这不是我与Suge之间的摩擦

So I did I just fell back watched and gritted my teeth

我听了Dr.Dre的劝告，没有插手，咬紧牙眼睁睁地看着那家伙

While he's all over tv down talkin' a man who literally saved my life

大谈Dr.Dre是怎么挽救我的小命的

Like f**k it i understand this is business

我明白这只是工作而已

And this sh*t just isn't none of my business

不关我的事

But still knowin' this sh*t could pop off at any minute cuz

但其实还是知道那家伙早晚要挂掉

There used to be a time when you could just say a rhyme

或许曾经你还可以饶着舌

And wouldn't have to worry about one of your people dyin'

而不用担心你身边的人因此死去

But now it's elevated cuz once you put someone's kids in it

但现在事情开始严肃起来了，一旦你在歌中涉及到某个家伙

The sh*t gets escalated it ain't just words no more is it

他会火冒三丈，不就是几句歌词吗

It's a different ball game callin' names and you ain't just rappin'

游戏已经不同了，当你在歌里提到某个人的名字时你已经不止是在饶舌而已了

We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin'

我们确实有去阻止50cent和Ja Rule之间的口水战发生

Me and Dre had sat with him kicked it and had a chat with him

我和Dr.Dre曾坐下来和他认真谈过

And asked him not to start it he wasn't gonna go after him

叫他不要开骂，他也没打算回击Ja Rule

Until Ja started yappin' in magazines how we stabbed him

F**k it 50 smash 'em mash 'em and let him have it

50cent，我说该死的，让他叫嚣吧

Meanwhile my attention is pullin' in other directions

与此同时我的注意力被转移到了另一个方向

Some receptionist at The Source who answers phones at his desk

Source的某个接线员

Has an erection for me and thinks that I'll be his resurrection

在办公桌前接到一个关于我那几首未公开的demo带的电话

Tries to blow the dust off his mic and make a new record

想要以此重拾麦克风出张新唱片

But now he's f**ked the game up cuz one of the ways I came up

但现在他不得不作罢了

Was through that publication the same one that made me famous

因为正是这同一张唱片让我出名

Now the owner of it has got a grudge against me for nothin'

现在拥有那母带的人开始无端地怨恨我了

Well f**k it that motherf**ker can get it too f**k him then

去他的，那家伙居然拿到了母带

But I'm so busy being pissed off I don't stop to think

但我现在是不断被人激怒，以至于我没时间停下来思考

That we just inherited 50's beef with Murder Inc

我们只不过是承接了50cent和Murder Inc之间的争斗而已

And he's inherited mine which is fine ain't like either of us mind

而他有个优点和我一样就是不会像我们中有些人那么把事情看得太认真

We still have soldiers that's on the front line

我们仍有一帮听候我们发号施令便愿意为我们赴汤蹈火的弟兄在前线

That's willing to die for us as soon as we give the orders

他们从不敲诈我们，的的确确表现出他们对我们的支持

Never to extort us strictly to show they support us

我们或许会在某首歌中念道他们的名字

We'll maybe shout 'em out in a rap or up in a chorus

或者找他们跨刀献唱两句副歌部分

To show them we love 'em back and let 'em know how important it is

要向他们表达我们想他们回来

To have Runyan Ave and who sulked us up in our corners

让他们知道有一帮Runyon Avenue的弟兄站在我们这边是多么重要

Their loyalty to us is worth more than any award is

他们对我们的忠诚胜过一切奖项

But I ain't tryna have none of my people hurt and murdered

但我从来没故意使我身边的人受伤或者干掉

There ain't words that I can't think of a perfecter way to word it

这不值得，我想不到更完美的词来表达了

Then to just say that I love y'all too much to see the verdict

只能说我太爱你们了已经不怕上法庭了

I'll walk away from it all before I let it go any further

我会在事情进一步恶化前抽身的

But don't get it twisted it's not a plea that I'm coppin'

但不要误会，这并不是说我要坦白从宽以求轻判

I'm just willin' to be the bigger man

我只是想成为一个更强壮的人

If ya'll can quit poppin' off at your jaws with the knockin'

使你们不再因为口舌之争而引来杀身之祸

Cuz frankly I'm sick of talkin'

坦白说我已经厌倦说话了

I'm not gonna let someone elses coffin rest on my conscience cuz

我不想再因为谁的死而产生负罪感
