D'Evils by JAY-Z
Lyrics & Translation
English
"Dear God – I wonder, can you save me?"
"Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body"
"Dear God – I wonder, can you save me?"
"Secret society, tryna keep their eye on me"
"Dear God – I wonder, can you save me?"
"Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body"
"Dear God – I wonder, can you save me?"
"I can't die, I can't die, I can't die"
This shit is wicked on these mean streets
None of my friends speak, we're all tryna win
But then again, maybe it's for the best though
'Cause when they're saying too much
You know they're tryna get you touched
Whoever said illegal was the easy way out
Couldn't understand the mechanics
And the workings of the underworld, granted
Nine-to-five is how you survive, I ain't tryna survive
I'm tryna live it to the limit and love it a lot
Life ills poisoned my body, I used to say fuck mic skills
I never prayed to God, I prayed to Gotti
That's right, it's wicked – that's life, I live it
Ain't asking for forgiveness for my sins, ends
I break bread with the late heads
Picking their brains for angles on all the evils that the game'll do
It gets dangerous, money and power is changing us
And now we're lethal, infected with D'evils
"Dear God – I wonder, can you save me?"
"Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body"
"Dear God – I wonder, can you save me?"
"Secret society, tryna keep their eye on me"
"Dear God – I wonder, can you save me?"
"Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body"
"Dear God – I wonder, can you save me?"
"I can't die, I can't die, I can't die"
We used to fight for building blocks
Now we fight for blocks with buildings that make a killing
The closest of friends when we first started
But grew apart as the money grew and soon grew black-hearted
Thinking back when we first learned to use rubbers
He never learned, so in turn I'm kidnapping his baby's mother
My hand around her collar, feeding her cheese
She said the taste of dollars was shitty, so I fed her fifties
About his whereabouts I wasn't convinced
I kept feeding her money 'til her shit started to make sense
Who could ever foresee?
We used to stay up all night at slumber parties
Now I'm tryna rock his bitch to sleep
All the years we were real close
Now I see his fears through her tears
Know she's wishing we were still close
Don't cry, it is to be; in time
I'll take away your miseries and make it mine, D'evils
"Dear God – I wonder, can you save me?"
"Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body"
"Dear God – I wonder, can you save me?"
"Secret society, tryna keep their eye on me"
"Dear God – I wonder, can you save me?"
"Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body"
"Dear God – I wonder, can you save me?"
"I can't die, I can't die, I can't die"
My flesh no nigga could test, my soul is possessed
By D'evils in the form of diamonds and Lexuses
The Exorcist got me doing sticks
Like, "Homie, you don't know me
But the whole world owe me, strip!"
Was thought to be a pleasant guy all my fucking life
So now I'm down for whatever, ain't nothing nice
Throughout my junior high years it was all friendly
But now this higher learning got the Remy in me
Liquor's invaded my kidneys
Got me ready to lick off – Mamma, forgive me
I can't be held accountable, D'evils beating me down, boo
Got me running with guys, making Gs, telling lies that sound true
Come test me, I never cower
For the love of money, son, I'm giving lead showers
Stop screaming, you know the demon said it's best to die
And even if Jehovah witness, bet he'll never testify, D'evils
"Dear God – I wonder, can you save me?"
"I can't die, I can't die, I can't die"

D'Evils (traducción LyricVerse Team)
"Querido Dios – me pregunto, ¿puedes salvarme?"
"Los Illuminati quieren mi mente, alma y mi cuerpo"
"Querido Dios – me pregunto, ¿puedes salvarme?"
"Sociedad secreta, intentando mantenerme vigilado"
"Querido Dios – me pregunto, ¿puedes salvarme?"
"Los Illuminati quieren mi mente, alma y mi cuerpo"
"Querido Dios – me pregunto, ¿puedes salvarme?"
"No puedo morir, no puedo morir, no puedo morir"
Esta mierda es perversa en estas calles crueles
Ninguno de mis amigos habla, todos intentamos ganar
Pero de nuevo, quizás sea para bien
Porque cuando hablan demasiado
Sabes que intentan que te toquen
Quien dijo que lo ilegal era la salida fácil
No pudo entender la mecánica
Y el funcionamiento del inframundo, concedido
De nueve a cinco es como sobrevives, yo no intento sobrevivir
Intento vivirlo al límite y amarlo mucho
Los males de la vida envenenaron mi cuerpo, solía decir a la mierda las habilidades con el micro
Nunca recé a Dios, recé a Gotti
Así es, es perverso – así es la vida, la vivo
No pido perdón por mis pecados, fines
Comparto el pan con los viejos
Exprimiéndoles el cerebro para ver los ángulos de todos los males que el juego hará
Se vuelve peligroso, el dinero y el poder nos están cambiando
Y ahora somos letales, infectados con D'evils
"Querido Dios – me pregunto, ¿puedes salvarme?"
"Los Illuminati quieren mi mente, alma y mi cuerpo"
"Querido Dios – me pregunto, ¿puedes salvarme?"
"Sociedad secreta, intentando mantenerme vigilado"
"Querido Dios – me pregunto, ¿puedes salvarme?"
"Los Illuminati quieren mi mente, alma y mi cuerpo"
"Querido Dios – me pregunto, ¿puedes salvarme?"
"No puedo morir, no puedo morir, no puedo morir"
Solíamos luchar por bloques de construcción
Ahora luchamos por bloques con edificios que dan una fortuna
Los amigos más cercanos cuando empezamos
Pero nos separamos a medida que el dinero crecía y pronto nos volvimos de corazón negro
Recordando cuando aprendimos a usar condones
Él nunca aprendió, así que a cambio estoy secuestrando a la madre de su bebé
Mi mano alrededor de su cuello, dándole dinero
Ella dijo que el sabor de los dólares era una mierda, así que le di billetes de cincuenta
Sobre su paradero no estaba convencido
Seguí dándole dinero hasta que su mierda empezó a tener sentido
¿Quién podría preverlo?
Solíamos quedarnos despiertos toda la noche en pijamadas
Ahora intento dormir a su perra
Todos los años que fuimos muy cercanos
Ahora veo sus miedos a través de sus lágrimas
Sé que ella desea que aún fuéramos cercanos
No llores, así debe ser; con el tiempo
Me llevaré tus miserias y las haré mías, D'evils
"Querido Dios – me pregunto, ¿puedes salvarme?"
"Los Illuminati quieren mi mente, alma y mi cuerpo"
"Querido Dios – me pregunto, ¿puedes salvarme?"
"Sociedad secreta, intentando mantenerme vigilado"
"Querido Dios – me pregunto, ¿puedes salvarme?"
"Los Illuminati quieren mi mente, alma y mi cuerpo"
"Querido Dios – me pregunto, ¿puedes salvarme?"
"No puedo morir, no puedo morir, no puedo morir"
Mi carne ningún negro podría probar, mi alma está poseída
Por D'evils en forma de diamantes y Lexuses
El Exorcista me tiene haciendo locuras
Como, "Amigo, no me conoces
Pero el mundo entero me debe, ¡desnúdate!"
Se pensó que era un tipo agradable toda mi puta vida
Así que ahora estoy dispuesto a todo, no hay nada agradable
Durante mis años de secundaria todo fue amistoso
Pero ahora este aprendizaje superior me tiene el Remy dentro
El licor ha invadido mis riñones
Me tiene listo para disparar – Mamá, perdóname
No puedo ser responsabilizado, D'evils me está golpeando, cariño
Me tiene corriendo con tipos, haciendo dinero, diciendo mentiras que suenan a verdad
Ven a probarme, nunca me acobardo
Por amor al dinero, hijo, estoy dando duchas de plomo
Deja de gritar, sabes que el demonio dijo que es mejor morir
E incluso si Jehová es testigo, apuesto a que nunca testificará, D'evils
"Querido Dios – me pregunto, ¿puedes salvarme?"
"No puedo morir, no puedo morir, no puedo morir"
