If I Die Young [English translation]

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Diese Geschichte handelt von 'nem kleinen Mädchen,

Das oft traurig ist,

Das keine Freunde hat und deshalb nur zu Hause sitzt.

Sie würde so gerne mal 'raus, aber sie traut sich nicht,

Denn sie hat große Angst vor dem, was da draußen ist.

Sie will nie wieder in die Schule, die sind echt gemein!

Da nennt man sie "Sumo-Ringer", "Hure", oder "Fettes Schwein"

Und weil niemand mehr hier nett zu sein scheint,

Rollt sie sich zu Hause in die Decke ein und weint.

Keiner mag sie, keiner umarmt sie,

Oder fragt sie, wie's ihr geht

Und warum sie alles schwarz sieht.

Mama nur auf Party, Papa weg, das ist nicht witzig.

Weil sie sich hasst, nimmt sie ein Messer 'raus und ritzt sich,

Damit sie spürt, dass sie lebt, für einen Augenblick.

Doch das Gefühl wird vergehn,

Die Wunden werden Narben

Und auch die Schmerzen werden verschwinden,

Aber wer nimmt ihr diese Schmerzen von Innen?

I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure

Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders

I am never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it

Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter

I'd never drag them in battles that I can't handle unless

I absolutely have to

I'm supposed to set an example

I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em

If some shit ever just pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em

Now the Ja shit i tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it

There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it

I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it

It was crazy, this shit way beyond some Jay-z and Nas shit

And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it

I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted

And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it

This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it

That was never my object for someone to get killed

Why would I wanna destroy something I helped build

It wasn't my intentions, my intentions was good

I went through my whole career without ever mentionin'

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

If I die young bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song
