歌词
I want you to close your eyes
请你闭上你的眼睛
And vision the most beautiful place in the world
想象出这个世界上最美的地方
If you in the hood on the ghetto street corner
如果你正在贫民窟的街头
Come on this journey
请加入这趟旅程
The best journey
最美好的旅程
Acres of land and swimming pools and all that
土地和泳池，一切的一切
Check it out
Check it out
我无所不能，想象力给予我翅膀
飞在街头上空，一切映入眼中
I'm capable of anything, my imagination can give me wings
放学回家的孩子走进毒品泛滥的街区
To fly like does over the streets watchin' many things
传教士们分发着的传单上写着:热爱上帝
Kids walkin' home from school on drug block
我看见许多面孔，,案件，一次次审判，伤痛，目击者，还有律师和警察
Missionaries pass out papers that read: Love God
我看见，是因为每张暴徒的脸庞就像是我的镜子
I see faces, cases, judges, juries, masons, lawyers and cops
但这却是个例外
I watch because every thugs face is my mirror
这孩子是个世故的老手
But this was one in particular
16岁，满刑施放，没有地方可去
This kid he was the vintage stick em up pro
每天早上叫来他的“同志”一起吸大 麻
16 years old, did his jail sentence, nowhere to go
他已经疯了，彻彻底底疯了
Every mornin calls his comrad to come and get him to smoke
为自己的失败责怪自己
He insane, already gone mad
坐在充满危险的街头
Blames himself for his setbacks
从早到晚骂着脏话，警探们疯了一样
Dangerous street corners where his sets at
追捕着他，他像是屁股着火一样逃着
Slang from dust to dawn, detectives act like they maniacs
像个老烟枪一样抽着，当然，他自己毫不介意
Chasin' him, his ass was flarin'
他需要一个能让他尽情想象的地方
Smokin' like a chimney, on really, of course he not carin'
我帮了他一把，把他带到了匪帮乐土
He need a place to go to keep his mind expandin'
每个街角，每座城市
I give him a helpin' hand, bring him out to Thugz Mansion
都有一个让生活轻松的地方
来一点轩尼诗，躺下来冷静一下
每分每秒都是那么的美好
Every corner, every city
把所有烦恼抛开
There's a place where life's a little busy
所有事都会好起来
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
只有爱与和平
Every hour, cause it's all good
以及街头的热情，每个贫民都需要一个匪帮乐土
Leave all the stress from the world outside
亲爱的妈妈请你不要哭泣，你的宝贝儿子已经尽力
Every wrong done will be alright
告诉兄弟们我住在天堂里并且这里没有帮派斗争
Nothin but peace, love
昨晚我与Marvin Gray看了场电影，震撼了我
And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion
和Jackie Wilson还有Sam Cooke喝着薄荷杜松子酒
还有那个名叫Billie Holiday的女士
座在那里和Malcolm一起喝酒唱歌直到天亮
Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good
小Latasha长大了
Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods
告诉白酒铺里的那位女士她被原谅了，所以回家吧
Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook
或许到时候你才会明白只有上帝能拯救我们
Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke
当Miles Davis和他的乐队断绝关系的时候
Then some lady named Billie Holiday
去想一下你过去认识的所有人
Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm, 'til the day came
他们都离世了，在天堂里他们最终找到了和平
Little LaTasha sho' grown
想象一下他们一同所在的地方
Tell the lady in the liquor store that she's forgiven, so come home
一定有个地方比这里更好，在天堂之中
Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us
所以在我睡觉之前，我向亲爱的神乞求到
When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band
请记住我的脸，并在匪帮乐土中留给我一席之地
Just think of all the people that you knew in the past
每个街角，每座城市
that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last
都有一个让生活轻松的地方
Picture a place that they exist, together
来一点轩尼诗，躺下来冷静一下
There has to be a place better than this, in heaven
每分每秒都是那么的美好
So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin
把所有烦恼抛开
Remember this face, save me a place, in thug's mansion
所有事都会好起来
只有爱与和平
以及街头的热情，每个贫民都需要一个匪帮乐土
Every corner, every city
一个死亡不驻足的地方，只有匪帮之间的冲突
There's a place where life's a little busy
没有怨言引起的恩怨，只有一片树荫，没有警车经过
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
没有警察，没有谋杀，也没有在街上留下的白粉笔
Every hour, cause it's all good
没有理由让无名氏的妈妈哭泣
Leave all the stress from the world outside
你看，我是一个好人，我正在支持着我的女儿
Every wrong done will be alright
但如果我死了，我知道我的专辑会继续支持着她
Nothin but peace, love
这一整年都很疯狂，我请求圣灵救救我
And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion
我和Ossie Davis唯一的区别大概就是灰色的头发了吧
因为我的眼睛见过太多的苦难
我只有二十来岁，已经失去了我的母亲
A place where death doesn't reside, just thugs who collide
而我现在喜极而泣，我知道她对着她的儿子微笑
Not to start beef but spark trees, no cops rollin by
我愈来愈发梦见你，我的爱给了 Afeni Shakur (2Pac的母亲)
No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on the streets
因为象Ann Jones一样，她在战争中养育了一个贫民窟的国王
No reason, for nobody's momma to cry
如果仅仅是因为孤单，她大可不必再感到痛苦
See I'm a good guy, I'm tryin to stick around for my daughter
因为终有一天我们会聚在一起，尽情地喝着香槟
But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her
在天使们注视下，伴随着金色的翅膀，在匪帮乐土里面
This whole year's been crazy, asked the Holy Spirit to save me
每个街角，每座城市
Only difference from me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe
都有一个让生活轻松的地方
Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin
来一点轩尼诗，躺下来冷静一下
I'm just twenty-some-odd years, I done lost my mother
每分每秒都是那么的美好
And I cried tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy
把所有烦恼抛开
I dream of you more, my love goes to Afeni Shakur
所有事都会好起来
Cause like Ann Jones, she raised a ghetto king in a war
只有爱与和平
And just for that alone she shouldn't feel no pain no more
以及街头的热情，每个贫民都需要一个匪帮乐土
Cause one day we'll all be together, sippin heavnly champagne
What angels saw, with golden wings in thug's mansion
Every corner, every city
There's a place where life's a little busy
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
Every hour, cause it's all good
Leave all the stress from the world outside
Every wrong done will be alright
Nothin but peace, love
And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion
