Babies crying brothers dying and brothers getting knocked 婴儿啼哭的兄弟死去的兄弟得到撞倒

Shit is deep on the block and you got me locked down 妈深得块，你让我锁定

in this cold, cold world... 在这个寒冷的，寒冷的世界...

And born thieves stay hooded with extra bullets 而出生盗贼留连帽额外子弹

those who try to flee they hit the vertebrae, increase the murder rate 那些谁想要逃跑，他们打的椎骨，增加谋杀率

Similar to hit men who pull out Tecs and then 类似打男子谁拔出肾小管上皮再

drop those who crack like tacos from Mexican 砸那些谁破解像是墨西哥的玉米饼

Shit is deep on the block and you got me locked down 妈深得块，你让我锁定

in this cold, cold world... 在这个寒冷的，寒冷的世界...
