歌词
These ideas are nightmares for white parents
这些观念对于白人父母来说无异于噩梦
Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings
他们最怕的就是有一个染着发并喜欢佩带耳环的孩子
Like whatever they say has no bearing
就像他们的言传身教对他不起作用一样
It's so scary in a house that allows no swearing
身于一个不允许说脏话的家庭真是可怕
To see him walkin' around wit his headphones blaring
只见他戴着耳机到处走
Alone in his own zone cold and he don't care
他孑然一身,遭到冷遇,他不在乎
He's a problem child what bothers him all comes out
他是个问题儿童
When he talks about his fuckin' dad walkin' out
当谈到他那该死的出走的父亲时他不吐不快
'Cuz he hates him so bad that he blocks him out
因为他恨他恨到不愿想起他
'Cuz he hates him so bad that he blocks him out
因为他恨他恨到不愿想起他
But if he ever saw him again he'd prolly knock him out
但是如果让他再撞到他,他很可能会将他打翻在地
His thoughts are whacked he's mad so he's talkin' back
他的想法很疯狂,他怒火中烧,所以他开始反击
Talkin' black brainwashed from rock and rap
开始说唱,他被摇滚与说唱洗脑
He sags his pants dew-rags and a stockin' cap
他全身都是嘻哈的打扮,穿着宽松的的裤子,围着头巾,戴着绒线帽
His stepfather hit him so he socked him back
他的继父打了他,他便狠狠地回击
And broke his nose this house is a broken home
打断了他的鼻梁,这是个破碎的家庭
There's no control he just lets his emotions go-
没有约束,他率性而为
C`mon! Sing with me （Sing!） sing for the year （Sing It!）
来吧...与我一起歌唱，歌唱那一年
Sing for the laughter sing for the tear （C`mon!）
歌唱欢笑,歌唱泪水
Sing it with me just for today
与我同唱,歌唱此刻
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
可能明天仁慈的主就会带走你
娱乐界变了,它与黑帮勾结
Entertainment is changin' intertwinin' with gangstas
在一个满是杀手的国度,人们崇拜罪人
In the land of the killers a sinner's mind is a sanctum
要么圣洁要么罪恶,我只有一个朋友
Only ya unholy only have one homey
那就是这把枪,孤独,因为没人了解我
Only this gun lonely 'cuz don't anyone know me
可是每个人都认为他们能理解
But everybody just feels like they can relate
文字真是很混帐,有时可以很棒
I guess words are a motherfucka they can be great
有时却会引人堕落,甚至会教人记恨
Or they can degrade or even worse they can teach hate
孩子们会牢记我说的每一句话
It's like kids hang on every single statement we make
他们崇拜我们,我们的唱片卖到白金销量
Like they worship us plus all the stores ship us platinum
怎么会发生这种蜕变呢?
Now how the fuck did this metamorphosis happen
从街头和门厅前的说唱小子
From standin' on corners and porches just rappin'
到大红大紫,不用再拍人马屁
To havin' a fortune no more kissin' ass
但是然后这些批评家又来抨击你,记者们恨不得要毁了你
But then these critics crucify you journalists try to burn you
歌迷们倒戈相向,律师们让你心惊
Fans turn on you attorneys all wanna turn at you
他们想染指你的每一分钱
To get their hands on every dime you have
每次你一生气,他们都希望你会因此发疯
They want you to lose your mind every time you mad
这样他们就可以将你描述成一个大炮
So they can try to make you out to look like a loose cannon
他们毫不迟疑的说你携带手枪
Any dispute don't hesitate to produce handguns
这就是为什么那些律师要严厉地控告我
Thats why these prosecutors wanna convict me
只是想尽快将我赶离那些街道
Strictly just to get me offa these streets quickly
但是他们的孩子还是会一直虔诚的听着我们的音乐
But all their kids been listen'n to me religiously
所以我一边给CD签名,一边还要按指纹
So I'm signin' CDs while police fingerprint me
是签给法官的女儿,但是他却恨我入骨
They're for the judge's daughter but his grudge is against me
如果我是个威胁,PETE,这一切就太荒谬了
If I'm such a fuckin' menace this shit doesn't make sense B
这一切全是因为政治,如果我在音乐里所说的属实,并且我是个罪犯的话
It's all political if my music is literal and I'm a criminal
我还怎么去抚养我的小女儿
How the FUCK can I raise a little girl
我不能也不适合
你谎话连篇,袭击你的只是我的拳头而已
I couldn't I wouldn't be fit to
来吧，跟我一起唱，歌唱那一年
You're full of shit too Guerrera THAT WAS A FIST THAT HIT YOU!
歌唱欢笑,歌唱泪水
C`mon! Sing with me （Sing!） sing for the year （Sing It!）
与我同唱,歌唱此刻
Sing for the laughter sing for the tear （C`mon!）
可能明天仁慈的主就会带走你
Sing it with me just for today
他们说音乐能改变人的心智，能传达信息
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
但是它能将枪上膛，并扣动扳机
好啊，如果它可以的话，下次你袭击了一个家伙
They say music can alter moods and talk to you
尽管告诉法官那是我的错，然后便等着我被起诉吧
But can it load a gun for you and cock it too
看看孩子们会怎么样呢，那就是听说我携带枪支
Well if it can then the next time you assault a dude
然后他们也想要一把，因为他们认为这样东西很酷
Just tell the judge it was my fault and I'll get sued
但是他们却并不知道我们只是出于自卫
See what these kids do is hear about us totin' pistols
作为艺人，这样的事当然会影响到我们的销量
And they wanna get one 'cuz they think the shit's cool
真是无知．音乐能反映一个人
Not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves
我们刚这么说，然后就收到寄来的支票
We entertainas of course this shit's affectin' our sales
这很荒谬，不是吗？
You ignoramus but music is reflection of self
我们是如何从一无所有到要什么有什么呢？
We just explain it and then we get our checks in the mail
这就是我为什么要为那些孩子唱歌的原因
It's fucked up ain't it how we can come from practically nothin'
那些除了梦想和一本说唱杂志之外什么都没有的孩子
To bein' able to have any fuckin' thing that we wanted
他们老是往墙上贴些招贴画
That's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing
崇拜着他们最喜欢的RAPPER并熟悉他们的每一首歌
Except for a dream and a fuckin' rap magazine
或是为那些生活中有过不幸经历的人们歌唱
Who post pin-up pictures on their walls all day long
他们会在夜深的时候哭泣，希望一死了之
Idolize their favorite rappers and know all they songs
直到他们找到一张说唱唱片作为支柱，然后他们开始欣赏音乐
Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in they lives
对于你们，我们什么都不是，但是在他们眼里，我们就是最棒的
So they sit and they cry at night wishin they die
所以我们要抓住那个时刻，尽力拥有它
Till they throw on a rap record and they sit and they vibe
抓牢他，因为我们认为那样的时刻很宝贵
We're nothin' to you but we the fuckin' shit in they eyes
可能等我们都死去的时候，他们才会才会承认这一点
That's why we sieze the moment try to freeze it and own it
我们的精神是不朽的，你们会通过我们歌曲中的歌词明白这一点
Squeeze it and hold it 'cuz we consider these minutes golden
我们便可以
And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone
跟我一起唱，歌唱那一年
Just let our spirits live on through our lyrics that you hear in our songs
歌唱欢笑,歌唱泪水
And we can-
与我同唱,歌唱此刻
C`mon! Sing with me （Sing!） sing for the year （Sing It!）
可能明天仁慈的主就会带走你
Sing for the laughter sing for the tear （C`mon!）
跟我一起唱，歌唱那一年
Sing it with me just for today
歌唱欢笑,歌唱泪水
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
与我同唱,歌唱此刻
C`mon! Sing with me （Sing!） sing for the year （Sing It!）
可能明天仁慈的主就会带走你
Sing for the laughter sing for the tear （C`mon!）
Sing it with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
