I'm tired of jobs startin off at five fifty an hour
then this boss wanders why I'm smartin off

If I had a magic wand, I'd make the world suck my dick
without a condom on, while I'm on the john

[Jens14]

Translate to what language?

I wouldn't bother if I were you because there are so many obvious ones you're asking that I don't think it will work out.

I'll give it a go though:

Money'll make them same friends come back around
swearing that they was always down

what means "hey was always down"?

Basically that if you get alot of money that these so called friends will come back and say they were always your friend eventhough they're just friends for the money.

Tired of always giving in when this bottle of Henny wins

what means these expression?

Henny is liquor/booze, and he talks about starting to drink Henny when tempted.


Tired of having skinny friends hooked on crack and mini-thins

what means these expression?

That he's tried of having skinny friends hooked on crack (drugs) and mini-thins (chips).

I'm tired of jobs startin off at five fifty an hour
then this boss wanders why I'm smartin off

know whats smarting means but i cant get what means "smartin off"

That's he's not paying attention to his job.

If I had a magic wand, I'd make the world suck my dick
without a condom on, while I'm on the john

john?

Toilet.

Tired of not having a home to have one in if I did have it on

i dont understand these whole sentence

He's tired of not having a home I guess?

Tired of not driving a BM

whats bm?some kind of car?BMW?

A car, not sure which brand.

Tired of not working at GM, tired of wanting to be him

whats gm?

I think General Motors, a large car maker.

Tired of being stared at

That people look at him intensively.

I'm tired of radio stations telling fibs

whats fibs?something like lies?

Not sure on this one.

Tired of all this player hating that's going on in my own city
Can't get no airplay,

i understand all words but cant get a sense whole sentence

There alot of people hating on one each other in his own city, and he can't his songs played on the radio.

I'm tired of faking knots with a stack of ones

knots?i guess something like suckers but im not sure."a stack of ones"??

Knots are stacks of money.

Tired of having to deal with the bullshit without grabbing the steel

whole sentence...

Tired of handling trouble without using a pistol to solve it.

[grabdat]

mini thins are ephedrin / caffeine pills not chips, you are thinking of wheat thins rofl.

and smarting off means talking back like coppin' an attitude with his boss

car is bmw

fibs are lies

np.

[teedotgurl]

"mini-thins (chips)."

Tired of not having a home to have one in if I did have it on

i dont understand these whole sentence

He's tired of not having a phone, but even if he did have one turned on, he has no home to operate it from.

He mentions he's tired of not having a phone in the previous line which runs on to the that line.

380 is a pistol so I think Everlast tried to shoot someone from the Shady camp? (buck is like shooting)
