Here to stay
Even when I'm gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die

I can hear the drummer drumming
And the trumpets, someone's tryna summon someone, I know somethin's coming
But I'm runnin' from it to be standing at the summit
And plummet, how come it wasn't what I thought it was
Was it, too good to be true?
Have nothin', get it all but too much of it
Then lose it again, did I swallow hallucinogens
Cause if not, where the hell did it go?
Cause here I sit in Lucifer's den by the dutch oven
Just choosing to sin
Even if it means I'm sellin' my soul, just to be the undisputed again
Do whatever I gotta do just to win
Cause I got this mother****in' cloud over my head
Crown around it, thorns on it
Cracks in it, bet you morons didn't think I'd be back, did ya?
How 'bout that, I'm somehow now back to the underdog
But no matter how loud that I bark, this sport is somethin' I never bow-out at
I complain about the game, I shout and I pout, it's a love-hate
But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt
Even when you b*****s are countin' me out, and I appear to be down for the count
Only time I ever been out and about
Is drivin' around town with my mother****in' whereabouts in a doubt
Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here but I'm not a quitter
Gotta get up, give it all I got or give up
Spit on, **** on, stepped on, but kept goin'
I'm tryna be headstrong but it feels like I slept on my neck wrong
Cause you're moving onto the next, but is the respect gone?
Cause someone told me that
(Kings never die)
Don't give me that sob story liar, don't preach to the choir
You ain't never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep
Nobody ever handed me shit in life, not even a flyer
Wouldn't even take shit into consideration
Obliterate anyone in the way
I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features and try to show out on a track with me
But it'd actually have to be a ****ing blow-out to get me to re-tire
Tell these new artists that kings never die
Did it just say I've been upstaged?
Why am I online? It's driving me crazy
I'm ridin' shotgun tryna get a gauge
On what's hot, but I'm not one to conform
But as days pass in this shit
And opinions sway, I can hear 'em say
If I stay passionate maybe I can stage a miraculous
Comeback as if I went away
But detractors just say so much for the Renegade
Someone's gonna make me blow my composure
Here I go again, center stage and I feel like I'm in a cage
They so want a champion to fall
It's no wonder why I laugh at 'em, cause why can't we win 'em all?
So **** what these cynics say
(It) just goes ta show that when my back's against the wall
And I'm under a tack again, that I'll act as if I'm 'posed ta
With this pent up rage, cause all these plaques in my office
On the floor stacked against the door
Are they just metaphors for the odds of me comin' back again?
Cause all the accomplishments, accolades, awards
And trophies just don't mean jack anymore
If I'm here today and gone tomorrow
And I'm not gonna be
Here to stay
Even when I'm gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die
I want it, I'm comin' to get it
So you son of a b***h don't duck you're gonna get ****ing Bowe'd
Critics'll end up in critical, think your shit is shit all you're gonna get is smoked
And I'm not stopping 'til I'm on top again, all alone and on a throne
Like a token of respect, or a homage poem, or an ode I've been owed
Tossed in the air by my own arm, and launched so hard it broke my collarbone
And when it's my time to go, I'm still not leaving
Stop for no one, I don't know but I've been told an obstacle that
Blocks your road, knock it over, time to go for that pot of gold, cause
They say kings never die
Just ask Jam Master Jay
They just grow wings and they fly
So, hands up, reach for the sky
Try to hold and prolong these moments
Cause in a blink of an eye
They'll be over
Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur
And ensure nobody's ever gonna be what you were
So before you're leavin' this Earth
You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral berserk
Deacon of words, syllable genius at work
Plus I'm thinkin' that they're mistakin' my kindness for weakness, kill 'em with meanness
I went from powdered milk and Farina
To flippin' burgers on the grill for some pean**s
From Gilbert's to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas, still appeal to the dreamers
I made it to the silverscreen but Rocky's still what the theme is
Khalil on the beat cause makin' the beat ain't the same feelin' to me as killin' the beat is
Or fulfillin' to me is what fillin' a seat is
It's that "Sound Bombing" Thirstin' Howl
Common, underground, Diamond D, Outsidaz
Stomach growl, throbbin' hunger, out-rhymin' everyone
God just give me one shot, I swear that I won't let you down
I'ma be around forever-and-a-day, even in the ground
You ain't never ever gonna hear 'em say I ain't
Here to stay
Even when I'm gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die

🌍 纯翻译歌词

我仍立于此地
即便我已离开
当我合拢双眼
淌过流逝的时间
王者永生
我能听见鼓手在敲鼓
还有喇叭声,有人在试图召唤什么人,我知道有什么东西即将到来
但我正在试图逃离,只为了能够站在顶峰
然后却骤然跌落:它怎么会不是我想象的那样?
是否是,因为太过于美好而无法实现?
什么都没有的我,得到了一切,但那些又太多了
转眼我就再次失去了所有,难道我嗑了什么吗
因为如果不是,见鬼的它去哪儿了
而路西法的巢穴里,我正坐在荷兰烤箱旁
只为了选择成为
即便这意味着我在出卖我的灵魂,但我只想再次成为权威
我会为了获得胜利不择手段
因为现在特么的有片乌云罩在我头上
而皇冠就在那儿,在荆棘之上
它已然出现裂痕,而你们这群蠢货却从没想过我会卷土重来,不是么
那么现在呢,我通过我的方式回到了落魄人群中
然而不管我喊叫得多么大声,这是个我永远都不会退出的竞争
我抱怨这个游戏,我咆哮,我愤怒,这都是因爱生恨
但我发现我能解除成堆的质疑
即便你们这些已经判我出局,但我却开始了倒数计数
只有时间能让我感到释然
开着车在城市里乱晃,不知道能去到什么地方
因为我已经不再想我为到达这里都付出了些什么,但我不会退出
必须振作起来,要么付出一切,要么放弃
唾弃它,贬低它,踩着它,但持续前进
我试着做一个刚愎的人,然而好像用错了方式
因为你正在离开,你也不再关注我了吗
因为有人曾经告诉过我
王者永不死
别跟我讲那些悲伤的假故事,你不必白费口舌
你压根不必为了挖掘真相而把自己卷进来
生活中没人给我过任何垃圾,连传单都没有
不过我也不会关注任何事情
除掉我路上的所有障碍
我觉得我现在明白为啥这么多说唱歌手都喜欢炫技,都想和我同台表演来为他们自己添光加彩
但是这实际上只是一场烂到能让我想退休的表演
告诉这些新艺术家们,王者永在
这刚刚是在说我抢镜了吗
为什么我会出现在网上,这简直要令人崩溃
我拿着把枪试图搞清这些玩意儿
到底现在什么东西这么流行,但我并不会去做这些
但是随着这些破烂的日子
流言纷纷绕绕,我听到他们说
如果我仍然这样四射,没准我能维持住这个奇迹
卷土重来就像我离开的时候
但是贬低者为了那些叛徒说了太多话
总有人想让我失去理智
现在我又来了,站在舞台,但却感觉像是站在笼子里
他们是这样想看到一个冠军的惨败
所以我在放肆地嘲笑他们,因为我知道我们会战胜他们所有
所以让这些愤世嫉俗的人说的话都见鬼去吧
于是我踏上了舞台向他们展示我的不屈服
即使我再次深陷困境,但我仍然勇敢面对
我在努力压抑着我的怒火,因为成堆的徽章堆在我办公室里
堆在地上,卡住了门
难道它们也只是希望我能卷土重来的隐喻吗
因为所有的这些成就,这些表扬,这些嘉奖
还有这些奖杯,现在已经没有了任何意义
如果我今天还在这儿,而明天却不得不离开
那么我就现在就不会
仍然站立在这里
就算我已经离开
当我合上我双眼
时间静悄悄流过
而王者永垂不朽
我想要的,我就会来争取
所以你们这些别以为你们能做到拳皇一样
用你们自己的方式停止批判吧,你们的那些破烂玩意儿都将随风飘逝
而且不会停止,除非我重返巅峰,一个人站立在王座之上
像一个尊重的标识,或者一章效忠的诗篇,再或者一首属于我的赞歌
我挥舞着我的双臂,用力得仿佛要打碎我的锁骨
即便我的时间已经到来,但我仍然不会离开
没人能阻止我,我并不知晓但有人曾经告知我
如果你的路上有障碍,那么清除掉它,这是向着胜利进发的时间了
因为他们说过,王者永不死
去问问Jam Master Jay吧(Hip-Hop传奇,2002年遇害,享年37岁)
他们才生出双翼,踏上胜利
所以,举起手来,触摸天空
试着抓住这些瞬间,并且拖延它们
因为你不经意的一眨眼
它们就会消失不见
保护好你的传奇,就像Shakur一样(Hip-Hop传奇,1996年遇害,享年25岁)
并且确保没人能到达你的水平
所以在你离开这里之前
你想让人们感受属于一个邪恶思想狂暴的怒火
话语的执事,音节的天才正在工作
再说我觉得他们误解了我的善意,把它们当成弱点,那就不用在意这些了
我为了奶粉和香水而来
为了在汉堡上涂上花生酱
我在斗兽场徘徊,叫我Gilbert Arenas(NBA球员),这对那些追梦者仍然有着吸引力
我将这些搬上银幕,但是Rocky们仍然想要让Khalil演奏出那些节拍(电影《洛奇》与R&B歌手、作曲者)
因为创作节拍和破坏节拍对我来说完全是两码子事儿
你觉得打败我就能获得一席之地了吗
你以为是“声音”Thirstin' Howl吗(Hip-Hop歌手)
Common, Underground, Diamond D, Outsidaz (均为Hip-Hop界内人物)
欲望在胃袋里翻滚,咆哮,想把所有的人都踢出节奏
上帝只给我一次机会,我发誓我不会让你失望
我会成为永远,即便只是在地面上
你将永远不会听到他们说我没法
一直矗立在这儿
就算我已经离开
但我闭上我双眼
时间默默流淌过
而王者永垂不朽

[03:51.270]为了在汉堡上涂上花生酱
[03:52.780]我在斗兽场徘徊,叫我Gilbert Arenas(NBA球员),这对那些追梦者仍然有着吸引力
[03:55.270]我将这些搬上银幕,但是Rocky们仍然想要让Khalil演奏出那些节拍(电影《洛奇》与R&B歌手、作曲者)
[03:57.710]因为创作节拍和破坏节拍对我来说完全是两码子事儿
[04:00.320]你觉得打败我就能获得一席之地了吗
[04:01.040]你以为是“声音”Thirstin' Howl吗(Hip-Hop歌手)
[04:04.370]Common, Underground, Diamond D, Outsidaz (均为Hip-Hop界内人物)
[04:05.330]欲望在胃袋里翻滚,咆哮,想把所有的人都踢出节奏
[04:06.770]上帝只给我一次机会,我发誓我不会让你失望
[04:11.640]我会成为永远,即便只是在地面上
[04:14.580]你将永远不会听到他们说我没法
[04:16.100]一直矗立在这儿
[04:18.100]就算我已经离开
[04:21.180]但我闭上我双眼
[04:24.170]时间默默流淌过
[04:28.460]而王者永垂不朽

Here to stay
Even when I'm gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die

I can hear the drummer drumming
And the trumpets, someone's tryna summon someone, I know somethin's coming
But I'm runnin' from it to be standing at the summit
And plummet, how come it wasn't what I thought it was
Was it, too good to be true?
Have nothin', get it all but too much of it
Then lose it again, did I swallow hallucinogens
Cause if not, where the hell did it go?
Cause here I sit in Lucifer's den by the dutch oven
Just choosing to sin
Even if it means I'm sellin' my soul, just to be the undisputed again
Do whatever I gotta do just to win
Cause I got this mother****in' cloud over my head
Crown around it, thorns on it
Cracks in it, bet you morons didn't think I'd be back, did ya?
How 'bout that, I'm somehow now back to the underdog
But no matter how loud that I bark, this sport is somethin' I never bow-out at
I complain about the game, I shout and I pout, it's a love-hate
But I found out that I can move a mountain of doubt
Even when you b*****s are countin' me out, and I appear to be down for the count
Only time I ever been out and about
Is drivin' around town with my mother****in' whereabouts in a doubt
Cause I been lost tryna think of what I did to get here but I'm not a quitter
Gotta get up, give it all I got or give up
Spit on, **** on, stepped on, but kept goin'
I'm tryna be headstrong but it feels like I slept on my neck wrong
Cause you're moving onto the next, but is the respect gone?
Cause someone told me that
(Kings never die)
Don't give me that sob story liar, don't preach to the choir
You ain't never even had to reach in the fire to dig deep
Nobody ever handed me shit in life, not even a flyer
Wouldn't even take shit into consideration
Obliterate anyone in the way
I think I see why a lot of rappers get on these features and try to show out on a track with me
But it'd actually have to be a ****ing blow-out to get me to re-tire
Tell these new artists that kings never die
Did it just say I've been upstaged?
Why am I online? It's driving me crazy
I'm ridin' shotgun tryna get a gauge
On what's hot, but I'm not one to conform
But as days pass in this shit
And opinions sway, I can hear 'em say
If I stay passionate maybe I can stage a miraculous
Comeback as if I went away
But detractors just say so much for the Renegade
Someone's gonna make me blow my composure
Here I go again, center stage and I feel like I'm in a cage
They so want a champion to fall
It's no wonder why I laugh at 'em, cause why can't we win 'em all?
So **** what these cynics say
(It) just goes ta show that when my back's against the wall
And I'm under a tack again, that I'll act as if I'm 'posed ta
With this pent up rage, cause all these plaques in my office
On the floor stacked against the door
Are they just metaphors for the odds of me comin' back again?
Cause all the accomplishments, accolades, awards
And trophies just don't mean jack anymore
If I'm here today and gone tomorrow
And I'm not gonna be
Here to stay
Even when I'm gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die
I want it, I'm comin' to get it
So you son of a b***h don't duck you're gonna get ****ing Bowe'd
Critics'll end up in critical, think your shit is shit all you're gonna get is smoked
And I'm not stopping 'til I'm on top again, all alone and on a throne
Like a token of respect, or a homage poem, or an ode I've been owed
Tossed in the air by my own arm, and launched so hard it broke my collarbone
And when it's my time to go, I'm still not leaving
Stop for no one, I don't know but I've been told an obstacle that
Blocks your road, knock it over, time to go for that pot of gold, cause
They say kings never die
Just ask Jam Master Jay
They just grow wings and they fly
So, hands up, reach for the sky
Try to hold and prolong these moments
Cause in a blink of an eye
They'll be over
Tryna secure your legacy like Shakur
And ensure nobody's ever gonna be what you were
So before you're leavin' this Earth
You want people to feel the fury of a pure evil cerebral berserk
Deacon of words, syllable genius at work
Plus I'm thinkin' that they're mistakin' my kindness for weakness, kill 'em with meanness
I went from powdered milk and Farina
To flippin' burgers on the grill for some pean**s
From Gilbert's to arenas, call me Gilbert Arenas, still appeal to the dreamers
I made it to the silverscreen but Rocky's still what the theme is
Khalil on the beat cause makin' the beat ain't the same feelin' to me as killin' the beat is
Or fulfillin' to me is what fillin' a seat is
It's that "Sound Bombing" Thirstin' Howl
Common, underground, Diamond D, Outsidaz
Stomach growl, throbbin' hunger, out-rhymin' everyone
God just give me one shot, I swear that I won't let you down
I'ma be around forever-and-a-day, even in the ground
You ain't never ever gonna hear 'em say I ain't
Here to stay
Even when I'm gone
When I close my eyes
Through the passage of time
Kings never die
