Back to back rolling up, four in the morning, thinking about my nigga
– Hoki ki muri takai ake, e wha i roto i te ata, whakaaro e pā ana ki toku nigga
Lord knows that I’ma miss you
– E mohio ana te ariki kei te mihi ahau ki a koe
Sometimes my life get super wild and I be wishing I was with you
– I ētahi wā ka tino pōhēhē taku oranga ā e hiahia ana ahau kia noho au ki a koe
But the turtle race continues
– Engari kei te haere tonu te whakataetae turtle
Don’t dot the door without my pistol
– Kaua e tohu i te tatau me te kore o taku patu
Just know whenever they come and get me, it’s gon’ be a bang out
– E mohio ana koe i nga wa katoa ka haere mai ratou ki te tiki i ahau, ka’ kia he pakaru i roto i
Long live Bangout, he was the first to leave on this journey
– Kia ora A Bangout, ko ia te tuatahi ki te wehe i tēnei haerenga
Lord, don’t let me leave this earth so early
– E te ariki, kaua ahau e waiho wawe i tenei whenua
Let me watch my seeds grow and flourish
– Kia kite ahau i aku purapura e tipu ana e tipu ana
Promise to change my ways, I’m going corporate
– Ka huri au i aku huarahi, ka haere au ki te umanga
Mama said this where the thuggin’ ends
– Ka mea a Mama i te mutunga o te thuggin
I wonder who gon’ fix my heart, I wonder who gon’ wipe my tears
– E whakaaro ana ahau ko wai ka’ whakatika i toku ngakau, e whakaaro ana ahau ko wai ka’ whakakore i oku roimata
Wonder why my life hard, I wonder when my pain gon’ heal
– E miharo ana ahau he aha i uaua ai toku ora, e miharo ana ahau ina ora toku mamae
And tell the feds I know they real, don’t want no smoke with ’em
– Ka mea atu ki nga federal e mohio ana ahau he pono ratou, kaua e hiahia kia kaua e paowa ki a ratou
But they had my brother, I had to come and get him
– Engari he teina ta raua, me haere mai ahau ki te tiki i a ia
So many niggas fell a victim, lost off in the system
– He maha nga nigga i hinga hei patunga, i ngaro i roto i te pūnaha
I hit my knees, God came and got me
– I patu ahau i oku turi, ka haere mai Te Atua, ka tiki i ahau
So many court dates and funerals, tribulations and trials
– He maha ngā rā whakawa me ngā tangihanga, ngā whakapawera me ngā whakawakanga
Snakes with handshakes, crossed and crooked smile
– He nakahi me ngā ringaringa, he ataata whakawhiti, he ataata piko
From the streets to the bunk, from the bunk to the streets
– Mai i nga huarahi ki te moenga, mai i te moenga ki nga huarahi
Thug life ain’t dead, believe me
– E kore e mate te ora o te tangata, whakapono mai ki ahau
And for my niggas locked down, at war with the system
– A mo aku negro i herea, i te pakanga ki te pūnaha
I promise to come and get you
– Ka oati ahau ki te haere mai ki te tiki i a koe
And to my niggas dead and gone up in heaven, know I miss you
– A ki aku negro kua mate, kua eke ki te rangi, e mohio ana ahau e mihi ana ahau ki a koe
The turtle race continues, the turtle race continues, nigga
