Перевод песни DMX - No Sunshine*

[Intro:]
It's dark, and hell is hot.

[Chorus:]
Ain't no sunshine when it's on,
Only darkness every day,
Ain't no sunshine when it's on, ‘cause when it's on,
Ya niggas know to be gone, every time ‘cause we don't play.

[Verse 1:]
‘Who turned out the lights?' is what niggas be sayin',
Now you don't wanna fight, but y'all niggas be playin',
Thinkin' it's alright, keep playin' with that role,
And you gonna know the night, when you layin' in that hole,
Dirt gettin' tossed in yo grave, now it's all over,
Preacher said you was brave, but now it's all over,
You just one of the many, plenty, I done gave it to.
Boom! Ain't no savin' you,
No matter how many tears your moms cried,
Ain't gon bring yo ass back, plus, in hell you gon' fry.
Why? But now the only two relative questions
Is ‘Do we bury him or burn? Any suggestions?'
Either way, you up outta here for good,
Now when niggas mention your name, they knockin' on wood,
Did I get my point across?
Another body on the shottie, another joint I toss.

[Chorus:]
Ain't no sunshine when it's on,
Only darkness every day,
Ain't no sunshine when it's on, ‘cause when it's on,
Ya niggas know to be gone, everytime ‘cause we don't play,
Every time ‘cause we don't play, every time ‘cause we don't play.

[Verse 2:]
It ain't no sunshine when the Darkman comes out,
And I want mine, so I plan to keep my gun out,
We got four 9's, so niggas run in and run out,
But I bust mine, ‘cause I'd like to hear some shouts.
Get at me, dog, niggas know how it's goin' dizzy,
When it comes to that flow, I gets busy.
Who is he? Darkman of the unknown,
Grr, arf! One dog, one bone!
Now who ain't goin' home? Looks like you,
You hear, strike one, talkin' shit, strike two,
Won't be a strike three, ‘cause I don't play fair,
I'ma look you in your eye while he hit you from the rear.
Be like, yeah, holdin' you up ‘cause you fallin',
The Lord ain't comin' ‘til niggas stop callin',
You was ballin' a minute ago, in it for dough,
‘Til it was, ‘Yo, I swear to God, I didn't know!'

[Chorus:]
Ain't no sunshine when it's on,
Only darkness every day,
Ain't no sunshine when it's on, ‘cause when it's on,
Ya niggas know to be gone, everytime ‘cause we don't play,
Every time ‘cause we don't play, every time ‘cause we don't play.

[Verse 3:]
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
Whatchu think you gon' get, fuck around with my dough?
Just so, it ain't no mistakes, this is my show,
One, two, three, here I go!
Your shit is quick, and your shit is slick, but this shit is thick,
Ain't you hear this shit? Damn right, I can finish shit.
If you caught that verse without a rewind, you can see mine,
But you be blind, I'll do it 360 and come up from behind,
Tap you on your shoulder, have you turnin' around,
Hit you with something that'll have you burnin' the ground,
Be like, ‘Damn, ain't nuthin' left of money, but a pile of ash!'
Life is good, so, please, enjoy it while it lasts,
‘Cause you know, ain't got much longer to go.
The quicker you go, depends on the stronger the flow,
And niggas know, I don't give a fuck, right or wrong,
There ain't no sunshine when it's on.

[Chorus:]
Ain't no sunshine when it's on,
Only darkness every day,
Ain't no sunshine when it's on, ‘cause when it's on,
Ya niggas know to be gone, everytime ‘cause we don't play,
Every time ‘cause we don't play, every time ‘cause we don't play.
