[00:01.000] 作曲 : Polo G/Jahmere Tylon
[00:20.76] Spittin' verses, I'm desperate,
[00:22.71] I need a mansion and a coupe
[00:24.03] You done signed over your life
[00:25.30] And now you slavin' in the booth
[00:26.72] Now we hang ourself with chains,
[00:28.14] They used to make us rock a noose
[00:29.49] Shorties hoppin' off the porch
[00:30.71] 'Cause it ain't s**t else to do
[00:32.19] Nothin' but trouble in the hood,
[00:33.54] Normal sentence for the youth
[00:35.00] You a king, you not a gangster,
[00:36.43] I'm just tellin' you the truth
[00:37.79] Please just take my word,
[00:38.88] 'Cause they done scrambled all the proof
[00:40.76] His big bro ain't tryna warn him,
[00:42.16] He just taught him how to shoot
[00:43.52] Out there warrin' with each other,
[00:44.82] Will there ever be a truce?
[00:46.12] Why the **** we into it?
[00:47.33] I'm going through oppression too
[00:49.03] Feel death in the air,
[00:50.24] It's like a nightmare, this s**t is scary
[00:52.21] Riding for gang, now your casket is gettin' carried
[00:54.87] Mama break down, you gettin' put in that cemetery
[00:57.47] S**t ****** up my mental, seen too many obituaries
[01:00.17] These bodies keep dropping,
[01:01.50] Summer cold like it's January
[01:02.88] When you die, they gon' praise you,
[01:04.36] Now they see that you legendary
[01:05.85] Just another cold case, look what they did to Kenneka
[01:08.39] Hear them screams after that chopper sing like Aretha
[01:11.21] Homicide puddles, I got blood stains on my sneakers
[01:14.08] Out here playing life or death,
[01:15.45] Tryna run from the reaper
[01:16.88] S**t been ****** up at the crib,
[01:18.17] Lashin' out on the teacher
[01:19.63] Grandma taking me to church,
[01:21.02] I fell asleep on that preacher
[01:22.36] Chains, clothes, hit the block, hard-headed and eager
[01:25.25] We just tryna stay afloat but this s**t gettin' deeper
[01:28.01] I'm just tryna talk to you
[01:29.27] And tell my life through these speakers
[01:30.88] Yeah, I conquered them struggles,
[01:32.29] I just had to stay focused
[01:33.61] Told myself that I'm the greatest,
[01:35.00] I won't wait 'til they notice
[01:36.48] Wouldn't nobody help me up when I was down at my lowest
[01:39.15] I'm the only one believe when everybody was hopeless
[01:42.00] I done got so used to funerals, can't show no emotion
[01:44.88] Man, this lifestyle crazy,
[01:46.05] Swear this s**t get atrocious
[01:47.59] Like one minute on that block,
[01:48.90] You just laughing and joking
[01:50.46] Now your mans shot up on that ground,
[01:52.27] Gasping and choking
[01:53.25] In them streets deep, we was mobbin',
[01:54.61] Went from innocent to goblins
[01:56.07] Had to take, we started robbin',
[01:57.50] Catchin' white folks while they joggin
[01:58.99] Battle scars, we hate the rain,
[02:00.31] Bullet wounds steady throbbin'
[02:01.73] Fiends lookin' like zombies,
[02:03.00] Half-dead, they just noddin'
[02:04.58] That peer pressure comin' at you
[02:06.12] And it's too hard to dodge it
[02:07.29] Got dreams to make the league,
[02:08.51] Late night plans, might sabotage it
[02:09.83] My homie made the news, he 'posed to be on ESPN
[02:12.54] Came and left the same day, RIP to the twins
[02:15.44] Doctor said he could make it but his chances was thin
[02:18.19] My homie just came home, did three in the pen'
[02:20.95] Back in them streets few weeks later,
[02:22.31] Now he locked up again
[02:23.74] I wonder one day will we wake up? Is the cycle gon' end?
[02:29.04] I wonder one day will we wake up? Is the cycle gon' end?
[02:32.75]
歌词翻译
[00:20.76] 艰难吐出这些歌词,近乎绝望
[00:22.71] 渴望大豪宅和豪车
[00:24.03] 脑子一热拿一生为代价签下合约
[00:25.30] 在录音棚里像个奴隶一样日夜工作
[00:26.72] 而我们如今戴上了大金链子
[00:28.14] 它们曾让我们苦苦挣扎
[00:29.49] 女人们游荡出走廊
[00:30.71] 因为无事可做
[00:32.19] 街区里只有大大小小各种麻烦
[00:33.54] 年纪轻轻就被判决
[00:35.00] 你是个高傲的王,而不是一个卑微的匪徒
[00:36.43] 我只是在陈述事实
[00:37.79] 请相信我
[00:38.88] 他们会搜罗你的所有罪证
[00:40.76] 他的大兄弟不曾去警告制止他
[00:42.16] 他只教会了他如何扣下扳机
[00:43.52] 他们在外面火拼
[00:44.82] 是否还会有停战的和平?
[00:46.12] 我们为什么陷入其中?
[00:47.33] 我也一样在经历消沉苦痛
[00:49.03] 空气中弥漫着死亡的气息
[00:50.24] 这像是一场吓人的噩梦
[00:52.21] 为帮派卖命,如今你躺在棺材里离去
[00:54.87] 妈妈崩溃了,看着你一点点埋进墓地里
[00:57.47] 脑里一片麻木混乱,我已经见过太多讣告
[01:00.17] 尸体一具具倒下
[01:01.50] 夏日却冰冷得如同一月寒天
[01:02.88] 当你死去,他们会歌颂你
[01:04.36] 如今他们见证了你的传奇
[01:05.85] 情况却一样冷酷,看他们对Kenneka做了什么(Kenneka Jenkins离奇命案,尸体被发现在酒店冷冻柜,双关cold case)
[01:08.39] 枪声响起如Aretha的歌声,伴着尖叫与恐惧(Aretha Franklin,“灵魂乐女王”,第一位进入摇滚名人堂的女性艺人)
[01:11.21] 血流成河,我的鞋子上沾满血污
[01:14.08] 在外面要么玩命要么死
[01:15.45] 试图逃离死神的无情镰刀
[01:16.88] 房间里一团乱糟
[01:18.17] 对老师大肆抨击
[01:19.63] 祖母带我去教堂
[01:21.02] 我却当着牧师的面呼呼大睡
[01:22.36] 金链,衣服,横扫街区,顽固而渴望
[01:25.25] 我们试图远离却又越陷越深
[01:28.01] 我只是想告诉你
[01:29.27] 通过音乐叙说我的人生
[01:30.88] 是的,我战胜了这些斗争
[01:32.29] 我要保持专注
[01:33.61] 相信自己是最伟大的
[01:35.00] 我不会傻傻等待
[01:36.48] 当我处在最低谷时没有人帮我一把
[01:39.15] 我是那唯一仍然坚信希望的人
[01:42.00] 我已经习惯了一场场的葬礼,不再流露伤感
[01:44.88] 这种生活简直疯狂
[01:46.05] 这将变得更残暴
[01:47.59] 就好像街区上的那血腥一分钟
[01:48.90] 你只是在嘲笑与挖苦
[01:50.46] 现在你的人被击倒在地
[01:52.27] 喘气、哽咽
[01:53.25] 深陷街区,我们沦为暴徒
[01:54.61] 从清白无辜变成哥布林(一种传说中的类人邪恶生物)
[01:56.07] 迫不得已,我们开始掠夺
[01:57.50] 追抢那些慢跑的白人路人
[01:58.99] 我们讨厌雨水滴落在身上的伤疤上
[02:00.31] 子弹伤口持续痛苦地抽动
[02:01.73] 恶魔看着就像僵尸一样
[02:03.00] 半死不活,还在那点头
[02:04.58] 同辈的压力就来到你的身上
[02:06.12] 无法逃避
[02:07.29] 梦想创建一个同盟
[02:08.51] 深夜做的计划不靠谱
[02:09.83] 我的伙计出现在ESPN的头条上(时代华纳旗下有线体育频道)
[02:12.54] 刚出生便死亡,安息吧双胞胎
[02:15.44] 医生也无能为力
[02:18.19] 我的伙计只是回到家,再三思索
[02:20.95] 几周后又重回到街区
[02:22.31] 如今他再一次被监禁
[02:23.74] 我想知道是否有一天我们会醒悟,还是无止境的循环?
[02:29.04] 我想知道是否有一天我们会醒悟,还是无止境的循环?
