Best Friend by Pharrell Williams
Lyrics & Translation
English
Yeah, ye...spit my gum out right now...haha
What up world? Got my inspiration in the studio with me, right?...feelin' good
Got a lot to smile about, ahaha, talk to y'all niggas...yessur, hey
[Verse 1]
My best friend say I'm bottled up, I need a fucking therapist
But I can't think of nobody I wanna share this with
Why should I open up on somebody else's carelessness...
[cork pops] There goes the top, nigga, so here it is
Mama workin' all day, Daddy out in the streets
Imagine 10 years old full of doubt and defeat
Growing up around criminals, with clout and deceit
My grandma Loucelle used to tell me, you about what you wheap
She used to help me with my homework, addiction-subtraction
Added faith to my life and doubt got subtracted
Wanna skip ya mind from crying better learn something, son
You be beatin' on my couches, why don't you try hit the drums
Look, oo you see me ma
They wish they could be me ma
As I got better, her body was eaten by Luchimia
Seventh grade, it was cursed and sad
But the gift within it, was when I first met Chad
But even Chad could tell you that my Christmas was jinxed
Cause grandma Loucelle died on 12th 19th
I can't help but wonder, what kind of black cloud I was under
Cause 15 years later the other died that summer...bummer
[Chorus]
My best friend told me, you be actin' tough, that's fine
But the weight of the world can really crush one's mind
So let it out P (what), let it out P (what), let it out P (what), let it out P (what).
See, you wont even know you hurt sometimes, until you in conversation it comes out in a line so let it
out P (what), let it out P (what), let it out P (what), my nigga let it out
[Verse 2]
Aye yo, 10 21 Atlantis drive, nigga was action packed
That's Atlantis appartments, we live in half the back
That's where the 12 year olds there, they be flashing crack
And when they shoot you nigga, they ain't tryna pass it back
Aye yo, Diggy, Fleet and Marvian can you imagine that?
The place we love the most, the hood was built to smash us flat
But I escaped cause I chased, what made me passion that
Now I got my skate team and spit these acid raps
So many niggas will rise
So many them niggas try
So many them niggas ended up duck-taped and tied
So many them same niggas, man they moms eyes cry
So, they just got older, still on the corner with they pride
Well let me tell niggas something, I'm so glad you alive
Long as you got a breathe, a pulse, nigga strive
Divine intervention this is
I heard a voice nigga, listen to this
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Jesus will arrange it, but Jesus wont change it
Hold yourself responsible, on yourself you blame it
You mad, nigga don't articulate in Sanskrit,
I.E. we best friends, speak best friends language
I'm a happy nigga, you can't approach me in anguish
Whoever said anything worth working for would be painless
Can't be mad at the world cause you and your girl ain't famous
Cause you both on bate, BBC and chainless
Also your rangless, therefore switch laneless
Now you brainless, dangerous, cause you pull out the stainless
All of sudden you smart, now you do something hainess
First time you get caught, now your ass is famous
No longer chainless, and the bus switching lanes is a bad look
Yo girl with ya man sellin' laneless, Stop
Nigga rewind and reverse slides 3 times
Reassess your thinking and trust me it'll be fine
First pitcure your goal, and repeat 'It'll be mine'
Or fuck it nigga, just keep imagine killin' me fine
Now you, scrunching your face tryna ace attainment
When you should be tryna find a place to base your shame, nigga
Success is taingeable, don't wait for fame
I thought you would receive it better if I ain't say ya name
You unsure of yourself, sit still and think
Review those actions if it fit, put your name in the blank
[Chorus]
Star Track, is who we are [x4]

Best Friend (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Sí, sí...escupo mi chicle ahora mismo...jaja
¿Qué onda, mundo? Tengo mi inspiración en el estudio conmigo, ¿verdad?...sintiéndome bien
Tengo mucho por qué sonreír, ajaja, hablo con ustedes, negros...sí señor, hey
[Verse 1]
Mi mejor amigo dice que estoy embotellado, necesito un puto terapeuta
Pero no se me ocurre nadie con quien quiera compartir esto
¿Por qué debería abrirme a la negligencia de otra persona...
[el corcho salta] Ahí va la tapa, negro, así que aquí está
Mamá trabajando todo el día, Papá en las calles
Imagina a un niño de 10 años lleno de dudas y derrota
Creciendo entre criminales, con influencia y engaño
Mi abuela Loucelle solía decirme, eres lo que cosechas
Ella me ayudaba con mi tarea, adición-sustracción
Añadió fe a mi vida y la duda se restó
Quieres que tu mente deje de llorar, mejor aprende algo, hijo
Estás golpeando mis sofás, ¿por qué no intentas tocar la batería?
Mira, oh, me ves, ma
Ellos desearían ser yo, ma
Mientras yo mejoraba, su cuerpo fue consumido por la Leucemia
Séptimo grado, fue maldito y triste
Pero el regalo dentro de ello, fue cuando conocí a Chad
Pero incluso Chad podría decirte que mi Navidad estaba gafada
Porque la abuela Loucelle murió el 19 de diciembre
No puedo evitar preguntarme, qué clase de nube negra me cubría
Porque 15 años después el otro murió ese verano...qué fastidio
[Chorus]
Mi mejor amigo me dijo, actúas duro, está bien
Pero el peso del mundo puede realmente aplastar la mente de uno
Así que sácalo P (qué), sácalo P (qué), sácalo P (qué), sácalo P (qué).
Mira, a veces ni siquiera sabrás que te duele, hasta que en una conversación sale en una línea así que sácalo
P (qué), sácalo P (qué), sácalo P (qué), mi negro sácalo
[Verse 2]
Oye, 10 21 Atlantis drive, negro estaba lleno de acción
Esos son los apartamentos Atlantis, vivimos en la mitad de atrás
Ahí es donde los de 12 años, están mostrando crack
Y cuando te disparan, negro, no están tratando de devolverlo
Oye, Diggy, Fleet y Marvian, ¿puedes imaginar eso?
El lugar que más amamos, el barrio fue construido para aplastarnos
Pero escapé porque perseguí, lo que me apasionó
Ahora tengo mi equipo de skate y suelto estos raps ácidos
Tantos negros se levantarán
Tantos de esos negros lo intentan
Tantos de esos negros terminaron amordazados y atados
Tantos de esos mismos negros, hombre, los ojos de sus madres lloran
Así que, simplemente envejecieron, todavía en la esquina con su orgullo
Bueno, déjenme decirles algo, negros, me alegro tanto de que estén vivos
Mientras tengas un aliento, un pulso, negro, esfuérzate
Esto es intervención divina
Escuché una voz, negro, escucha esto
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Jesús lo arreglará, pero Jesús no lo cambiará
Hazte responsable, a ti mismo échale la culpa
Estás enojado, negro, no te expreses en sánscrito,
Es decir, somos mejores amigos, hablemos el lenguaje de mejores amigos
Soy un negro feliz, no puedes acercarte a mí con angustia
Quien dijo que algo que valga la pena trabajar sería indoloro
No puedes estar enojado con el mundo porque tú y tu chica no son famosos
Porque ambos están en el anzuelo, BBC y sin cadenas
También sin rango, por lo tanto sin carril
Ahora eres un descerebrado, peligroso, porque sacas el inoxidable
De repente eres inteligente, ahora haces algo atroz
La primera vez que te atrapan, ahora tu trasero es famoso
Ya no sin cadenas, y el autobús cambiando de carril es una mala imagen
Tu chica con tu hombre vendiendo sin carril, Para
Negro, rebobina y retrocede las diapositivas 3 veces
Reevalúa tu pensamiento y confía en mí, estará bien
Primero visualiza tu meta, y repite 'Será mío'
O a la mierda, negro, solo sigue imaginando matarme bien
Ahora tú, arrugando la cara tratando de lograr el éxito
Cuando deberías estar tratando de encontrar un lugar para basar tu vergüenza, negro
El éxito es tangible, no esperes la fama
Pensé que lo recibirías mejor si no decía tu nombre
Estás inseguro de ti mismo, quédate quieto y piensa
Revisa esas acciones, si encaja, pon tu nombre en el espacio en blanco
[Chorus]
Star Track, es quienes somos [x4]
