Mobb Deep - Shook Ones [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Prodigy]
The most violent of the violent-est crimes we give life to
If these Queensbridge kids don't like you
We bring drama of the worst kind to enemies
Your first time will be your last Earth memories
It's only your own fault
I gave you fair warning
Beware of killer kids who don't care
Unaware fools will be dealt with in time
It ain't a mystery how I form the words in rhyme
In nineteen hundred and ninety square
All shook niggas is supposed to have fear
Tryna get a piece of this pie, we don't share
Prepare for the worst cause I been there
Try to, keep a positive mind and walk a straight line don't work
So niggas is forced to do dirt
And God made dirt, so this dirt won't hurt
If I listen to the lessons and the rules I learnt
On these streets for 19 years and not leaving
My first priority's to reach 21 breathing
Forever beef, nobody will ever be even
So I grab the heat before breezing
Lost in this foul mind state I can't keep straight thinkin'
But I keep my eyes on the Earth without blinking
It's hard to be a man in this land of the venom
Any man try to front he get slugs in him
Because...

[Hook]
He ain't a crook son
He just a shook one
We live the life that of diamonds and guns
And numerous ways that we choose to earn funds
Some niggas get shot, locked down and turn nuns
Cowardly hearts and straight up shook ones
He ain't a crook son
He just a shook one

[Verse 2: Havoc]
For every rhyme I write it's 25 to life
To all my peoples in the Bridge know what I'm talking 'bout, right
Ain't no time for hesitation
That only leads to incarceration
You don't know me
There's no relation
Cause Queens niggas don't play
I don't got time for the he say she say
I'm bigger than that
Claiming that you pack a gat but you scared to get locked
Once you get upon the Island
Change your ways and stop
13 years in the projects of hard times I've lived in
Wake up in the morning thank God I'm still living
Sometimes I wonder
Do I deserve to live
Or I am going to burn in hell for all the shit I did
No time to dwell on that cause my brain reacts
Front if you want nigga
Lay on your back
I don't fake jax kid
You know I bring it to you live
Stay in a child's place, kid you outta line
Criminal minds thirsty for recognition mission
I'm strictly sipping E&J like got my mind flippin'
I'm bugging digging my ways out of holes by hustlin'
Get that loot kid
You know my motherfucking function
Cause long as I'm alive I'ma live illegal
And once I get on I'ma put on all my people
React quick, spit lyrics like macs I hit
Your dome up
When I roll up
Don't be caught sleeping cause I'm creeping
You just a shook one

[Hook x2]
