"I have heard something, friends:
As I was unlocking the gate of Pallas' Shrine,
For I needed her help today, I heard a voice,
Telling of some new sorrow. And I fainted

Grief and I are no strangers.

yo man i peeped some crazyass shizznit from some homies
i was unlocking the gizzate to Bro Pallas' Shrizzine
To ask a sista for a hand, i peeped a vizzoice
yackin on bout some sad shizz and i blacked out
there in ma crib with some fine dime brizzles
say what you got to; i'm a g
grief andi are soul brothas

The "ghetto" translation would be something like this.

"Yo, this is what I heard,
I was opening the door to Pallas' house
I needed her help today because I heard a voice
Sayin' somethin' deppressing. Yo, but I blacked out and
I woke up wit my girls around me.
But repeat that, Whatever it is I can take it.
Me and misery are thick as thieves."

This should still loosely follow the rhythm. Feel free to ask for anymore help.

The road to hell is often paved with the words "the teacher thought it would be fun if"...man, I hope I don't end up seeing you guys performing this on the national news.
