To Live And Die In L.A. Feat. Val Young

歌词
“Street Science, you’re on the air. What do you feel when you hear a record like Tupac’s new one?”“
你现在收听到的是街头电台。让我们来接听观众热线,你对2Pac的新歌有什么的感觉呢?”
“I love Tupac’s new record”“
我喜欢那首新歌”
“Right, but don’t you feel like that creates - ahh- tension between East and West?
好的,但是你不觉得这让东西两岸的关系更加紧张了吗?
I mean, he’s talking about killing people, ‘I had sex with your wife’ - and not in those words.
我的意思是,他在歌里说会干掉一些人,以及对Biggie的挑衅‘我睡了你的老婆’而这些都不是重点。
But he’s talking about, ‘I wanna see you deceased’…”
而是他说的是‘我想看见你永远沉睡’
To live and die in L.A., where everyday we try to fatten our pockets
生是洛城的人,死愿做洛城的魂,天使之城 ,就是一个让人努力奋斗的地方
Us niggas hustle for the cash so it’s hard to knock it
人们都在为了生计努力拼搏着
Everybody got they own thang, currency chasin’
三百六十行行行出状元
Worldwide through the hard times, worrying faces
世界上到处都有为了生计的愁眉苦脸
Shed tears as we bury niggas close to heart
有的人英年早逝
Who was a friend is now a ghost in the dark
成为一个孤魂野鬼
Cold hearted bout it, nigga got smoked by a fiend
而人们对此冷漠无比 有的人却染上毒瘾
Trying to floss on him blind to a broken man’s dream
搞得倾家荡产生不如死
A hard lesson
多么沉痛的教训呀
Court cases keep me guessin
法律似乎专为我修订的
Plea bargain ain’t an option now, so I’m stressin
面对指控我已经非常烦躁了
Cost me more to be free than a life in the pen
花在官司上的时间甚至比我写歌的时间还多
Making money off of cuss words, writing again
祸从口出,但我还是得继续写歌
Learn how to think ahead, so I fight with my pen
学会了三思而后行所以我又拿起了笔
Late night down sunset liking the scene
看着“日落大道”那样醉人的美景
What’s the worst they could do to a nigga?
人们可以对一个平常人作出怎样过分的事情
Got me lost in hell
