Arata-le la toti [English translation]

Chorus

Oh, show everyone what you can do

And when you can't take them anymore

Lift yourself higher than anyone

Show them what you can do, show them what you can do

Part 1.

Come from behind and don't let your head down cuz you've got no reason

Since you were a child you wanted respect

And at night, in the hood, with the guys

You told them what you wanted to do but they didn't listen

You kept going on, didn't listen their words

Because you knew you were gonna make them remember you.

You wanna be president, star or a doctor.

You wanna be on top, in front of everyone.

Take your clothes and leave.

Show the world

That you are not the joking kind.

Show them what you can do, what you know, what you do.

Didn't you have enough of sitting, enduring, not saying anything?

The world is mean even if it doesn't seem so.

They are jealous when they think you

Make more than them

Why fall in their pit instead of them?

Chorus

Part 2.

All my life, all my life, I've been in the entire world.

And from everywhere I've got what was useful for me,

Because I started from the bottom and I had the knife in my bones (figure of speech, it means he was very poor)

This is a wicked man now

This Pacha Man inna the zone.

Fire burnin on my lyrics

When I teach you to be strong.

To example fi di young, to example fi di old...yes

If it's a bad situation I will keep it to my shoulda

I'm a souljah and I will keep my head up no matter how hard it is

Yes, I still love Jah, oh Jah

You give me strength, and love for the soul that asks for it

Struggle in everyday, rents will gonna pay,

I still remember how I was inna the hungry day

But I'll find a way

Cause the system only show me in time

You're the ghetto way

Chorus.
