Песня: 7 Deadly Sins
Gluttony, baby,
To me it's what I see.
Gluttony, baby,
Is us, it's hard to see.

[Common:]
It sit deep in my chest, so let me express,
Grew up on 868, oh, y'all don't need the address.
It was ‘round CVS, we were so devious,
The city never sleeps, it be needin' some rest.
The streets was a mess, and they still are,
Feel our pain, the bigger picture, we was all framed,
But the game is the game, so let it begin
In these streets, these are the seven deadly sins.

Now, the first is pride, though some call it vanity,
A hustler's insanity can break up the family,
Pride can have a man stuck in his ways, not subject to change,
Knowin' that he'll end up in a grave,
It's the arrogance, they say, in us Americans,
Messes up marriages, many sins pride is parentin'.

Like the second is something we all have
Or felt, than Cain or Khan, it's called wrath.
I seen a boss take it out on his staff,
Seen a crip take it out on a blood causin' a bath,
Never seen a man makin' money while he mad,
So hustle plus wrath? Y'all do the math.

Now the third, you probably heard from M.O.P.,
They say, use them rocks to make 'em envy.
Envy, the cousin of jealousy, on the streets it's a felony,
When niggas fuckin' wit' you, rock a nigga fidelity,
They hate it to see you celebrated,
Countin' my paper, nigga, you could have made it.

Let me stay with that thought, takes us to the fourth,
Where niggas is lazy, that's what we call sloth.
Want you to break ‘em off gettin' money, it costs
For you to be a boss, ain't no takin' off.

Now the myth about the fifth: it only happens when we eat,
It's gluttony, this is how it happens on the street,
It's a dude that's gettin' paid in full, cars and jewels,
So his plate is full, but the way this nigga move,
He is never full and he gon' want your food,
Don't overdo it, that's an underrated rule.

The sixth is a fix that's in all of us,
When I get drunk and want to bust, this is what we call lust,
When the drawers go down, the guards go down,
‘Cause a pussy is somebody gettin' robbed right now.

Okay, the seventh is a seed that many believe
Is the cause of ‘em all, this is what we call greed.
Knew some cousins that was hustlin', one of ‘em ended up bustin' the other,
Greed is a mother, it's greedy mothafuckas like Madoff,
Cops gettin' paid off, greedy companies got my people gettin' laid off.

Before I sign off, in the sins we livin',
The good thing is we can be forgiven.
Seven deadly sins.

Перевод песни:
7 смертных грехов

Чревоугодие, малыш,
Для меня — это то, что я вижу.
Чревоугодие, малыш,
И есть мы, это сложно разглядеть.

[Common:]
Это засело у меня глубоко в душе, дайте мне выговориться,
Вырос на 868-й улице, вам не нужен адрес...... [открыть перевод]
