What do you, think this is a game? What?

Oh, kalian kira ini permainan, Bukan, ingat urusanmu, itu saja.

Huh? You don't even know me.

Apa kalian kira ini permainan? Apa?

I'll say something else. Don't call me crazy.

Hah? Kalian bahkan tidak tahu saya.

Do not call me -- Rives, tell 'em don't call me crazy before I go crazy.

Saya cerita lagi. Jangan sebut saya gila.

I'm telling you, now I'm about to go crazy. I'm about to go Tupac Thug Life in here.

Rives, tolong bilang saya tidak gila sebelum saya jadi gila.

Like, "I ain't a killer but don't push me. Revenge is like the sweetest joy --" Woo!

Saya beritahu, saya bisa gila, seperti lagu “Tupac Thug Life”.

Saya akan pilih tipe seperti Biggie Smalls Brooklyn,

Woo! I'm about to go KRS-One

“Wa, dor, dor, wa, dor, dor,

You are dumb. You are really dumb.

Kalian pikir ini permainan?

Do you know how hard it was to find these guns?

Kalian pikir saya ingin ada di sini?

All right, I'm sorry. You understand?

Kalian sadar susahnya mencari senjata?

I'm just trying to get my education. You know what I mean?

Sounds like the rust of shackles locking their way onto my degree.

Cerita ini sangat umum.

Sounds like the Thirteenth Amendment in reverse.

Seperti karat yang membelenggu dan mengunci pada kelulusanku.

Lecture halls shouldn't feel like cotton fields,

Seperti versi terbalik dari Amandemen Ketigabelas.

shouldn't sound like muffled freedom songs trapped

Auditorium kuliah tidak seharusnya seperti ladang kapas,

in the jaws of a generation's dreams. Oho! Oh, it all makes sense.

Give us enough to get by but not enough to provide for ourselves.

for the nooses hanging my GPA by its neck.

There is no other option.
