Lyrics & Translation
English
Skateboard, huh?
Are you sayin' they know me?
Skateboard, huh? Skateboard, huh?
Are you sayin' they know me? Ha
In My Mind, coming soon
Good taste is acquired, you should want the best and nothin' less
Catch me in the cherry drop, drippin', nigga so fresh
Don't try to run up, they put a gun to your chest
Or open up your apples, let the world see your seeds
Jeez-louise, you could of been a tree of life
But you was jelly to the low, [?]
Of the watch out the window, well, my feverish ride
Committed a sin, lost his halo, wish you could just fly?
But for me, I just smile 'cause for me, you just tried
To, to try to live, but to me, you just died
We got niggas that do the same thing for as few as a gram
Just stop like you niggas, yes, you and your man
Or hit you where you stand, because the tool is in hand
Let both you niggas sound like the Vitruvian Man
I hiccup philosophy and I spit science
I'm Arts since 7 and half years old without tryin'
A CDE student without even applyin'
I couldn't hear the teacher from all ghetto firin' in my ear
I got Mozart's ears, a movin' target
The Devil tried to throw darts here
'Cause he knew I would emerge, and make my mama proud
In the back of that chromed out two-tone cloud
And when I roll through the hood, nigga, it never rains
And if it did, they'll freeze up from these cold-ass chains
It's my time to shine (Shine)
It's my time to shine (Shine)
It's my time to shine (Shine)
Follow me as I drop these lines (Yo)
I'm a luminary, don't act like you don't know shit (What?)
Get your sunshades, man, I really glow
Bitches doze like Jolly Ranchers, how you get docious?
The price is intimidatin', don't ask, don't approach it
The karats, average, 20-somethin', that's it
You should see the bling when I eat salad, it's magic
Like cop a feel, bitches wanna stop and chill
But it blurs they vision, like they been poppin' pills
They said, "It's not for real", yes, it is, I seen a lot, for real (Uh)
Imagine bein' surrounded by customers who wanted rocks to chill
The older wanted to smoke 'em and the younger wanted to sell 'em
Whether in Hell or for sale, it affects the cerebellum
And they don't wear red or blue, they wear green
'Cause that's the predominant color of the illustrious dream
To run a square biz' on the block with the fiends
And outside they house, they made the "Soul Train" line
Mutated cocaine lines, fuck $300 jeans
White tees, Air Force, and a week worth of fatigues
Pusha told me you could get a key for 16 (Uh-huh)
If they know you long enough and your relationship is mean (Uh-huh)
And if there's a little man, you gon' pay like 20's
So when you complain about the price, that's why I look at you funny
You wet behind the ears, you gon' pay 25
But once they say it, you try to pay it, you gon' say a lie? (Shit)
Take that nigga's shit, why should we make that nigga breathe?
She resist? Bond, torture, and rake that nigga bitch
I seen that shit with my side of town, boy (Uh)
But you would never know 'cause I never make a sound, boy (Uh)
It's my time to shine (Shine)
It's my time to shine (Shine)

Sound Boy (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Skateboard, ¿eh?
¿Estás diciendo que me conocen?
Skateboard, ¿eh? Skateboard, ¿eh?
¿Estás diciendo que me conocen? Ja
In My Mind, pronto
El buen gusto se adquiere, deberías querer lo mejor y nada menos
Encuéntrame en el cherry drop, goteando, negro tan fresco
No intentes acercarte, te ponen un arma en el pecho
O abre tus manzanas, deja que el mundo vea tus semillas
Dios mío, podrías haber sido un árbol de la vida
Pero eras gelatina hasta lo más bajo, [?]
Del reloj por la ventana, bueno, mi viaje febril
Cometió un pecado, perdió su halo, ¿desearías poder volar?
Pero yo, solo sonrío porque para mí, solo lo intentaste
A, a intentar vivir, pero para mí, solo moriste
Tenemos negros que hacen lo mismo por tan solo un gramo
Solo detente como ustedes negros, sí, tú y tu hombre
O golpearte donde estás parado, porque la herramienta está en la mano
Que ambos negros suenen como el Hombre de Vitruvio
Hipoteo filosofía y escupo ciencia
Soy Arte desde los 7 años y medio sin intentarlo
Un estudiante CDE sin siquiera postularme
No podía oír al profesor por todo el tiroteo del gueto en mi oído
Tengo los oídos de Mozart, un blanco en movimiento
El Diablo intentó lanzar dardos aquí
Porque sabía que yo surgiría y haría a mi mamá orgullosa
En la parte trasera de esa nube cromada de dos tonos
Y cuando paso por el barrio, negro, nunca llueve
Y si lo hiciera, se congelarían con estas cadenas tan frías
Es mi momento de brillar (Brillar)
Es mi momento de brillar (Brillar)
Es mi momento de brillar (Brillar)
Sígueme mientras suelto estas líneas (Yo)
Soy una luminaria, no actúes como si no supieras nada (¿Qué?)
Consigue tus gafas de sol, hombre, yo realmente brillo
Las perras se adormecen como Jolly Ranchers, ¿cómo te vuelves dócil?
El precio es intimidante, no preguntes, no te acerques
Los quilates, promedio, veintitantos, eso es todo
Deberías ver el brillo cuando como ensalada, es magia
Como tocar, las perras quieren parar y relajarse
Pero les nubla la visión, como si hubieran estado tomando pastillas
Dijeron, "No es de verdad", sí lo es, he visto mucho, de verdad (Uh)
Imagina estar rodeado de clientes que querían rocas para relajarse
Los mayores querían fumarlos y los más jóvenes querían venderlos
Ya sea en el Infierno o en venta, afecta el cerebelo
Y no visten de rojo o azul, visten de verde
Porque ese es el color predominante del sueño ilustre
Para manejar un negocio honesto en la cuadra con los adictos
Y fuera de su casa, hicieron la línea "Soul Train"
Líneas de cocaína mutadas, a la mierda los jeans de $300
Camisetas blancas, Air Force, y una semana de uniformes
Pusha me dijo que podías conseguir una llave por 16 (Ajá)
Si te conocen lo suficiente y tu relación es fuerte (Ajá)
Y si hay un hombrecito, vas a pagar como 20
Así que cuando te quejas del precio, por eso te miro raro
Estás mojado detrás de las orejas, vas a pagar 25
Pero una vez que lo dicen, intentas pagarlo, ¿vas a decir una mentira? (Mierda)
Quítale esa mierda a ese negro, ¿por qué deberíamos dejar que ese negro respire?
¿Ella se resiste? Ata, tortura y rastrilla a esa perra negra
Vi esa mierda en mi lado de la ciudad, chico (Uh)
Pero nunca lo sabrías porque nunca hago ruido, chico (Uh)
Es mi momento de brillar (Brillar)
Es mi momento de brillar (Brillar)
