歌词
Shiloh Young & Cordae:
Alright, look, I said, I said
OK，听我说
When I was nine, that's my first time I held a 9
我九岁的时候，第一次拿起了枪
Put it on God, man, that must’ve been a sign
向上帝真诚祈祷，那一定是个征兆
'Cause my mother, she was strippin', she was always on his mind
我妈是个脱衣舞娘，她的影子总在我脑海里浮现
While her boyfriend, he was pimpin’, he ain't have a lot of time
而她新交的男朋友也是拉皮条的，忙的要死
So he showed me where it was and showed me how to work it
他指给我看在那里，又指给我怎样使用枪支
Just in case a n!gga run up in this b!tch, gotta murk him
万一有人闯进来，就得干掉他
Thirteen, I was servin', n!gga, fifteen persons
当我十三岁时，我就干掉了十五个对手
N!gga, tryna be a coca!ne cowboy, Michael Irvin
你想当个富强粉牛仔是吗？就像Micheal Irvin那样？（前NFL接球手，因卷进coca1ne丑闻而被捕）
N!gga, sixteen, I was deep up in the trenches, hoppin' fences
十六岁混迹街头，穿越层层障碍
'Round that time they gave my boy a life sentence
那时候法院判了我同伴无期徒刑
But I still ain't learn, n!gga, I was tryna burn n!ggas
但我还是不懂这一切，熊熊怒火在我胸腔燃烧
Tryna put somеbody in the grave or a urn, n!gga
想把某人打入坟墓或者骨灰瓮里
Sevеnteen, police whooped my ass just for bein' Black
十七岁的时候，条子故意刁难我——只因我是黑人
No talkin' silent, guys give up, where’s the free in at?
此刻一片死寂，伙计们开始放弃，他们看不到自由在何方
Seen my uncle in the prison, sh!t, now it’s me and that
曾在监狱里见过我叔叔，现在我也进了监狱
Couldn't break the cycle, like recycle, they wan’ see us back
你不能打破循环，就像回收一样，他们想看到我们回来
Eighteen, lions, tigers, bears, I was livin' with 'em (Mm)
18岁的时候，我和狮子老虎熊一样凶恶的人物生活在一起
Went to prison with 'em, doin’ business with 'em
跟他们一起进监狱，跟他们做生意
I'm twenty-one, my cellmate been down for thirty-five
我今年21岁，而我的狱友已经35岁了
He just tryna see the sun before he gotta die
他只是想在死前看到太阳
So why would I go and cry? Got another passion (B!tch)
那我为什么要痛哭？我只是拥有另一种激情
You don't know the struggle, so you wouldn't understand
你不懂这种垂死挣扎的感受，所以你不会明白
'Cause in my book, my mama raised a man
因为在我心里的那本书里，我妈妈含辛茹苦把我抚养成人
'Cause I could've snitched on the beat to get me out the can
因为我可以向警方告密，把自己弄出监狱
But I could tell you what I seen or what I lived, it's up to you
但我可以告诉你我看到了什么，我的生活经历过什么，这取决于你
Or let my brother tell the story from a bird's-eye view
或者让我兄弟从鸟瞰的角度来讲述这个故事（专辑《From a Birds Eye View》）
