Got me thinkin bout better days
让我梦想我们更好的明天
Time to question our lifestyle look how we live
看看我们是怎样生活的，是时候质疑这种街头生活方式了
Smokin weed like it ain't no thang so even kids
连孩子们都认为抽麻不是什么大事
Wanna try now they lie down and get ran through
然后他们就会挥霍金钱，不思进取
Nobody watched 'em clockin the evil man do
没有人敢于与黑恶势力作斗争
Faced with the demons addicted to hearin victims screamin
面对着那些沉迷于听到受难者哭喊的恶魔们
Guess we was evil since birth product of cursed semens
大概自出生之日我们就是邪恶的，被诅咒的
Cause even our birthdays is cursed days
因为即使是我们的生日也能变为痛苦的一天
A born thug in the first place the worst ways
我们天生是匪帮，干着劣迹斑斑的脏事儿
I'd love to see the block in peace
我乐于看到街区回归安宁
With no more dealers and crooked cops the only way to stop the beast
让那些毒贩子和腐朽的警察都消失，才是我们唯一的出路
And only we can change
只有我们这些仍心存良知的人才能改变现状
It's up to us to clean up the streets it ain't the same
这已于曾经不同了，我们要肩负起‘清理’街区的职责
Too many murders too many funerals and too many tears
太多的凶杀，太多的死亡，太多的眼泪
Just seen another brother buried plus I knew him for years
我刚刚参加完一个哥们儿的葬礼
Passed by his family but what could I say
经过他的家人们时，我不知应说点什么
Keep yo' head up and try to keep the faith
请大伙们都把头抬起来，心存希望，永怀信仰
And pray for better days
并祈祷着更美明天的到来
Better days better days heyyy

Better days better days better days

Got me thinkin bout better days

Thinkin back as an adolescent who would've guessed
回顾我的青葱岁月【其实2Pac25岁时便被击杀】，谁能想到
That in my future years I'd be stressin
在未来的日子我如此身负重担
Some say the ghetto's sick and corrupted
有人说贫民窟里充满了病态和罪恶
Plus my P O won't let me hang with the brothers I grew up with
我的缓刑官也不让我与之前的兄弟再有交集
Tryin to keep my head up and stay strong
但我仍努力心存希望，坚定着美好的信仰
All my homies slangin llello all day long but they wrong
我的哥们却仍然让毒品在街头肆流，他们真是大错特错
So I'm solo and so broke
所以我开始了一穷二白的单干
Savin up for some Jordan's cause they dope
努力攒钱只为搞到炫酷的Jordan篮鞋
I got a girl and I love her but she broke too and so am I
我爱上了一个同我一样清贫的女孩
I can't take her to the place she wanna go to
因为贫穷，我没法给予她所想要的
So we argue and play fight all day and night
以致我与整日吵架
Makin passionate love 'til the daylight
却整晚充满了激情
Plus we about to get evicted can't pay the rent
记得当时付不起房租，我们就要被赶了出来
Guess it's time to see who really is yo' friend
但也正是此时可以看清哪些是你的真心朋友
Tell me you pregnant and I'm amazed
一天你告诉我你怀孕了，我吃了一惊
So many blessings while we stressin
虽然身负重担，我们似乎仍被上帝眷顾

现在你和我已身居风云，相比之下，那些书呆子的生活依然很差
Since back in high school we was true me and you
回想曾经的高中时代，我们都那么天真坦率
Hardly parted or seperated we stayed faded
我们几乎形影不离，整日寻着乐子
Affiliated with gangbangers and still made it
和匪帮们混在一起，最后依旧成功脱身
Up in the gym mess with me gotta mess with him
在体育馆里，我们并肩战斗
Still dressin like grown men when rollin
即使狂欢也仍穿着正装

我们在公园里抽着烟，玩着游戏
Got a place in my heart homey stay smart
你在我心中仍有一席之地，兄弟，保持清醒
Locked you up in the pen and gave you three to ten

I send you letters with naked flicks of old friends
我也用最真挚的笔触为你写过信
Hopin you well I know it's hell
希望你能在局子里熬过漫长的岁月，虽然我深知那里面日子不好过
Doin time in the cells you need mail when you in jail

我找到了我的伴侣，安定了下来，她在夜校工作
Every once in a while I reminisce
时不时我也会怀念曾经的旧时光
