原歌词
[00:20.38] First off say peace to Pine Ridge
[00:22.26] Shame at all the damage the white man wine did
[00:24.26] Ghost dance, Trail of Tears, 5 million beers a year
[00:26.94] And all that other crime did
[00:28.63]
[00:29.13] More peace to the teachers of blind kids
[00:31.13] To rebels in small cells keeping their mind big
[00:33.81] Say everything's hostile
[00:34.51] Suicide bombers and prosperity gospels, emaciated models
[00:38.50] With cocaine and blood pouring out their nostrils, they got to
[00:41.94] Just to stay awake on the catwalk of life where everybody watch you
[00:45.69] Straight hair, high heels and a handbag
[00:48.13] Crucifixes, racism and a land grab
[00:50.56] Katrina, FEMA trailers, human body sandbags
[00:52.31] A peace sign and a pants sag
[00:55.26] A money toss cause a 9 stripper mad dash
[00:57.57] A friend request following a hash tag
[00:59.88] Now everybody want it like the last laugh
[01:02.38] A Michael Jackson jacket or a daft mask
[01:04.50] Purple Jordans or the mixed girl in your math class
[01:06.88] Stable is when the Ba'ath had Baghdad
[01:08.50] But corporate jets really had to have that gas bad
[01:11.32] War and they hope they all fall from the ratatat
[01:13.88] Cause that's just more dinosaur for the Cadillac
[01:15.69]
[01:16.31] Live from the other side what you see
[01:18.12] A bunch of nonsense on my TV
[01:20.37] Heaven on Earth is what I need
[01:22.68] But I feel I'm in hell every time I breathe
[01:25.12] Reporting live from the other side what you hear
[01:27.44] A bunch of nonsense all in my ear
[01:29.31]
[01:29.82] Rich man, poor man, we all gotta pay
[01:32.19] Cause freedom ain't free, especially 'round my way
[01:34.51]
[01:35.10] And we marvel at the state of Ottoman
[01:37.53] Then turn around and treat Ghana like a garbage can
[01:39.73] America's a big motherfuckin' garbageman
[01:41.97] If you ain't know, you're part and parcel of the problem
[01:44.48] You say no you ain't, and I say yes you is
[01:46.54] Soon as you find out what planned obsolescence is
[01:48.91] You say no they didn't, and I say yes they did
[01:51.35] The definition of unnecessary-ness
[01:53.29] Manifested
[01:56.04] Say that we should protest just to get arrested
[01:58.10] That goes against all my hustling ethics
[01:59.79]
[02:00.29] A bunch of jail niggas say its highly ineffective
[02:02.85] Depart from Martin, connect on Malcolm X tip
[02:05.16] Insert Baldwin to similar the separate
[02:07.48] To me, the truth is more fulfilling than a meth hit
[02:09.87] Or finding really fast internet to have some sex with
[02:12.49] It's all one song short of a set list
[02:14.37] Couple croissants shy of a continental breakfast
[02:16.74] Or blowing out your birthday candles just to make a death wish
[02:19.19] So absurd word to Chief Bone Necklace
[02:20.88] Down at the Lakota Sioux Casino
[02:23.76] A whole culture boiled down to giving you paquino
[02:26.00] I go as left as a heart in the chest
[02:28.26] Cause the Horn of Africa is now starving to death
[02:31.00] Live from the other side what you see
[02:32.94] A bunch of nonsense on my TV
[02:35.26] Heaven on Earth is what I need
[02:37.63] But I feel I'm in hell every time I breathe
[02:40.07] Reporting live from the other side what you hear
[02:42.38] A bunch of nonsense all in my ear
[02:44.63] Rich man, poor man, we all gotta pay
[02:47.01] Cause freedom ain't free, especially 'round my way
[02:49.52] An all white Los Angeles, the dream of Mr. Chandler
[02:51.84] Hope and pray they take Columbus day up off the calendar
[02:54.27] South Central an example of God's gifts
[02:56.46] So shout to all the mothers raising babies in spa 6
[02:58.96] The projects of Oakland city, Detroit ghost towns
[03:01.15] Monopolies on poverty where D-boy coke bound
[03:03.40] It's parts of Manilla like the video for Thriller
[03:05.77] But the US Embassy is reminiscent of a villa
[03:08.34] If poverty is chocolate and privilege vanilla
[03:09.84] Then what's the flavor of the Sunday preacher's pedophilia
[03:12.09]
[03:12.93] Cash rules everything around these niggas
[03:15.06] As classrooms everywhere around me wither
[03:17.49] Hither you can be Mr. Burns or Mr. Smithers
[03:19.93] The tyrant or the slave but nowhere in the middle
[03:22.43] Of the extremes of America's dream
[03:24.43] Freud fighting Neo, Freddy Krueger refereeing, naaa,
[03:27.18] Live from the other side what you see
[03:29.12] A bunch of nonsense on my TV
[03:30.87]
[03:31.43] Heaven on Earth is what I need
[03:33.40]
[03:33.90] But I feel I'm in hell every time I breathe
[03:36.21] Reporting live from the other side what you hear
[03:38.52] A bunch of nonsense all in my ear
[03:40.84] Rich man, poor man, we all gotta pay
[03:43.21] Cause freedom ain't free, especially 'round my way
[03:45.77]
歌词翻译
[00:20.38] 先让我们说说青松岭印第安人的和平问题
[00:22.26] 你们这帮白人殖民者的暴行真是可耻
[00:24.26] 泪水之径上鬼魂哀嚎(1803年北美印第安人被驱赶的路线,迁徙过程中有四千余人死亡)
[00:26.94] 还有那些罪犯的恶行数不胜数
[00:29.13] 向身处迷茫的孩子的老师们致敬
[00:31.13] 再向胸怀天下却身陷囹囫的反叛者们致敬
[00:33.81] 整个世界混乱不堪
[00:34.51] *****袭击,福音里的繁华世界,还有骨瘦如柴的模特们
[00:38.50] *****和血液从她们鼻孔中流出,却不得不这样
[00:41.94] 小心翼翼地于别人注视下走在人生的T台上
[00:45.69] 靓丽的长发,高高的鞋跟,还有奢华的手提包
[00:48.13] 信仰混乱,种族歧视还有土地掠夺充斥在身边
[00:50.56] FEMA(美国联邦应急管理署)挡不住卡崔娜飓风,遍地尸都堆得大沙袋一样
[00:52.31] 签了个和平协议就像是在********
[00:55.26] 扔点钱就能让一群***女打起来
[00:57.57] 朋友之间情谊全被金钱所衡量
[00:59.88] 每个人都想自己笑到最后
[01:02.38] 迈克尔杰克逊的夹克,小丑的面具
[01:04.50] 紫色的AJ还有数学课上各种肤色的女生
[01:06.88] 美军入侵伊拉克前的巴格达多么稳固
[01:08.50] 但美国人的战斗机就是要抢他们的油田来加燃料
[01:11.32] 想要靠战争让伊拉克人沦为*****
[01:13.88] 因为他们要给自己的凯迪拉克加油啊
[01:16.31] 世界另一端的人们看看我们的生活
[01:18.12] 电视上全是扯淡的垃圾
[01:20.37] 我想要的是天堂般的世界
[01:22.68] 但却随时感到自己身处炼狱
[01:25.12] 我给世界另一端的人们报道一下我们的生活
[01:27.44] 胡说八道的废话充斥我的耳边
[01:29.82] 穷人富人竟然都要交税
[01:32.19] 因为自由从不免费,尤其是我身处的世界
[01:35.10] 我们对奥斯曼帝国的陨落感到震惊
[01:37.53] 却紧接着就把加纳当做我们的垃圾站
[01:39.73] 美国就是个*****垃圾制造者
[01:41.97] 你自己并不知道,因为你就是产生问题的一份子
[01:44.48] 你说你很无辜,但我说你没法狡辩
[01:46.54] 很快你就会发现破烂们是被有计划生产出的
[01:48.91] 你说这不可能,但我说这就是事实
[01:51.35] 无用品的定义就是这样
[01:53.29] 早就被证实了
[01:56.04] 我们去**********,结果却是被捕入狱
[01:58.10] 这怎么跟我从小接受的伦理教育不一样啊
[02:00.29] 牢里的兄弟们都说*****根本不靠谱
[02:02.85] 从呼吁和平马丁路德金再到诉诸暴力的马尔科姆.X
[02:05.16] 作家詹姆斯鲍德温已经区分了这两人的理念
[02:07.48] 对我来说,真相比兴奋剂更刺激
[02:09.87] 寻求的过程也比网上*****更让我兴奋
[02:12.49] 一首歌的内容实在涵盖不全
[02:14.37] 两个牛角面包就能对付一顿早饭
[02:16.74] 或者在*****生日蜡烛时祝你去死吧
[02:19.19] 拿印第安首领的做的人骨项链多么荒谬
[02:20.88] 还把拉科塔地区苏族人的娱乐视为野蛮
[02:23.76] 一个文化就这样被毁灭,仅仅为了满足贪欲
[02:26.00] 只要我心脏还在跳动,我就会坚持走下去
[02:28.26] 因为非洲之角的人们还在面临饥饿带来的死亡威胁
[02:31.00] 世界另一端的人们看看我们的生活
[02:32.94] 电视上全是扯淡的垃圾
[02:35.26] 我想要的是天堂般的世界
[02:37.63] 但却随时感到身处炼狱
[02:40.07] 我给世界另一端的人们报道一下我们的生活
[02:42.38] 胡说八道的废话充斥我的耳边
[02:44.63] 穷人富人竟然都要交税
[02:47.01] 因为自由从不免费,尤其是我身处的世界
[02:49.52] MR.CHANDLER梦想着洛杉矶全是白人
[02:51.84] 我却还在祈祷取消殖民*****
[02:54.27] 南部中心是天赐的礼物
[02:56.46] 向所有辛苦哺育孩子的伟大母亲喝彩
[02:58.96] 从繁华的奥克兰,再到衰败的底特律
[03:01.15] 权力的腐败滋生在毒贩贩卖*****的地方
[03:03.40] 这就是马尼拉的一部分,如同MJ在THRILLER那MV里一样荒诞
[03:05.77] 但美国的大使馆却骄奢淫逸,富丽堂皇
[03:08.34] 如果贫穷是巧克力味,特权是香草味
[03:09.84] 那么患有*****的变态牧师圣代是什么口味(SUNDAE同音SUNDAY,意为圣代)
[03:12.93] 金钱统治一切的理念灌输在这些家伙脑子里
[03:15.06] 我看到学校课堂越来越完蛋
[03:17.49] 只教你们如何不择手段成为百万富翁
[03:19.93] 无论暴君还是*****都无法存活
[03:22.43] 在现在这极端的美国梦下
[03:24.43] 研究精神病的弗洛伊德在跟黑客帝国的尼奥打架,猛鬼街里的鬼王也死而复生了,天啊
[03:27.18] 世界另一端的人们看看我们的生活
[03:29.12] 电视上全是扯淡的垃圾
[03:31.43] 我想要的是天堂般的世界
[03:33.90] 但却随时感到身处炼狱
[03:36.21] 我给世界另一端的人们报道一下我们的生活
[03:38.52] 胡说八道的废话充斥我的耳边
[03:40.84] 穷人富人竟然都要交税
[03:43.21] 因为自由从不免费,尤其是我身处的世界啊
