歌词
Ay yo
Ay yo
This that shit you bob your head to
跟着这节奏一起点头
This that brand new instrumental
全新的伴奏
I heard he puts his city on
我听见他为自己的城市代言
That boy Kells so influential
(MGK无论走到哪儿,都自豪地说自己是克里夫兰人)
Success got everybody hating
MGK那小子太具影响力了
Success to me is inspiration
(MGK向人们分享自己的经历,用音乐帮助他们度过人生低谷,所以对歌迷们影响巨大)
Cause how we supposed to know that what we dream is possible
成功让每个人都心生嫉妒
If don't nobody that looks like us makes it?
(一些人不相信MGK会取得现在的成功,但他的确做到了)
You only got one life, don't waste it
成功对于我来说是激励
I mean we only got one night, get wasted
因为如果没有一个像我们这样的人成功的话,我们怎么会意识到梦想是有可能的?
I mean I know you're trying to think it out
(举个例,一个很成功的医生,但你从未想象过看见有纹身的医生,所以有纹身的人认为自己不可能成为医生,因为他们从未看见一个有纹身的)
But go with what you feel cause real problems can't be calculated
生命只有一次,做你想做的,不要让任何人来阻挡你。
It's hard to find the answer when they have no explanation
若只剩下一个夜晚,为何不彻夜狂欢。
It's hard to find where you're headed when there's no destination
(与上一句对称)
It's hard to know when we're going when there's no expiration
我知道你还在思考,还在犹豫。
So until that day, just keep that Kells inside your playlist and
但是去追寻你内心真正想要的东西吧,因为一些问题根本想不通。
Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long
当没有人为你提供线索的时候,很难找到问题的答案。
Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long
当没有目标的时候,很难找到前进的方向。
Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long
当没有计划的时候,很难知道何时出发。
Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long
所以将这首歌存在你的播放列表中,直到你找到了问题的答案,前进的目标,行程的计划。然后,
Drinking whiskey like a desperado
(与前三句相联系)
My bitches drinking Reposado
将音量调到最大,单曲循环一整夜。
Ashing in an empty bottle
将音量调到最大,单曲循环一整夜。
Listening to the songs that put our asses in this empty condo
将音量调到最大,单曲循环一整夜。
Remember ridin' 'round in Ashleigh's car though?
将音量调到最大,单曲循环一整夜。
When the radio first played our song though?
像牛仔一样喝着威士忌
Or at her house when MTV first showed my face
身旁的女孩喝着Reposado(龙舌兰的一种)
That clip was crazy, I swear it felt like we won the lotto
(这里的Reposado听起来很像Right-beside-o,意思是在我旁边,所以MGK同时说明了喝的东西,和在哪里喝。)
But a million bucks can't buy priceless moments
一口接一口地飞着麻
An a million people may not know us
(Ashing,这里指将飞麻器具中抽剩下的灰取出来。Bottle,这里指飞麻的一种器具)
But every one of us wants this gift we own
听着为我们赚来一座奢侈公寓的歌
And that is: how is how to keep it real
(MGK的歌为他赚来了很多钱,同时这也意味着他的成功)
How to never judge somebody by their steering wheel
还记得开着Ashleigh的车到处跑的时光吗?
Cause you know that mother fucker in that Ford Taurus
(Ashleigh是MGK的经纪人,MGK在成名路上与她成为了朋友)
Could be the next mother fucker in that new Porsche
当电台第一次放我们的歌的时候吗?
But like I said it's hard to know where you're headed
或者一起在她的家里一起看我第一次上MTV吗?
When there's no destination
太疯狂了,我发誓那感觉像我们中了彩票一样。
So until that day, just keep that Kells inside your playlist and
再多的钱也买不回那样无价的时光
Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long
也有许多人不知道我们
Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long
但我们中每一个人都拥有一种天赋,这也是我们所追求的。
Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long
那就是:一直保持真实,做自己,
Bring those speakers up on blast, play it all night long
(金钱和名利不能给MGK真正的快乐,所以他依旧像往常一样,和团队一起飞麻,做音乐,享受生活)
This shit right here, man, this shit feels right!
绝不以一个人开什么车而评判他
Aye Dub! Aye Dre! Aye Irv! you know it's all year right?
(Steering wheel 方向盘)
Hah! I'm sitting here in the middle of New York City, the night before I gotta turn my second album in, higher than a motherfucka, drunker than a motherfucka, with my boys, and I'm thinking, damn, man 5 years ago, we were dead broke chilling in Cleveland everyday, and the next thing you know, people are calling us about record deals.
因为一个开福特的人通过努力奋斗能够开上保时捷。
And you know, the crazy part is, Ashleigh rented this white Nissan Altima for me and Slim so we could drive out to New York. I think she had to some work some shit or something, so she couldn't go so we were gonna go out there and see what these labels were talking about. And I'm driving us there, but my license's suspended so I tell Slim, I'm like “Yo, I gotta pull up before we get to New York and switch, so you can drive in case we get pulled over" cause we got pulled over the last time we went there. But you know, he had a license so it made sense for him to drive so cut to like 7 and a half hours later, I'm pulling over in this emergency lane and right as I'm opening the door to switch with Slim, boom!
(Ford Taurus福特的一款车型,Porsche保时捷。即使是穷人也能通过刻苦工作,不懈奋斗成为富人)
This fucking car going full speed on the highway swerves off the road and smashed into us. Yo, I swear to God I woke up half my body's laying outside the car in the ditch, like 15-20 feet away from where we just were. The car was totalled, the windows were smashed, it was cold as fuck, it was raining outside, but we were actually okay. I mean, my boy had to go the hospital you know the ambulance came and shit, he ended up being alright, but our meeting's with the record label started at 2 and we didn't have no car, and now we were stuck in a fucking hospital in New Jersey. So this dude that, I ended up partnering with later on, his name's James McMillan, he comes and gets us to these meetings and shit, somehow, someway.
就像我之前说的那样,
I don't know if it was just because we just got into a crazy car crash and could've died a couple of hours ago but I'm in there and like you know I'm not feeling this shit man I'm not feeling this record label shit and we drove back to Cleveland.
当没有目标的时候,很难找到前进的方向。
Now I'm back in Ashleigh's mom's basement, I'm thinking about life, you know, I'm on a shit ton of vicodin cause the doctors at the hospital you know gave us something cause we got into that car accident and Ashleigh runs downstairs and she's like “Yo, yo, Kells, Kells, you're not gonna believe who wants to talk to you right now." I'm like, "who?” She's like “He's gonna call you in 30 seconds."
所以将这首歌存在你的播放列表中,直到你成功的那一天。然后,
Now I guess, when I was in New York, I had made some kinda noise cause this dude named Byron who ended up becoming my manager later on took this video I had called “Chip off the Block” over to Bad Boy and showed Harve Pierre and Harve Pierre went and showed that vid to a guy named Puff, so I answer my phone, depressed, down, fucked up on vicodin and I hear: “Please hold, I have Mister Sean Combs for you." I said, god damn, life's about to change, man, I felt it. And sometimes thats all it takes, it's just that feeling you know what I mean.
将音量调到最大,单曲循环一整夜。
I knew I was gonna be here, and now I'm here
将音量调到最大,单曲循环一整夜。
Feel that, uh
将音量调到最大,单曲循环一整夜。
Lace up, Kells
将音量调到最大,单曲循环一整夜。
Lace up, Kells
兄弟,这感觉太他妈棒了。
Farewell, yeah
Dub,Dre,Irv!一年又过去了。
This that shit you bob your head to
哈!我现在在纽约市中心,和兄弟们一起嗨成狗,醉成狗,明天就要发第二张专辑了。然后我就在想,唉,兄弟,五年前,我们还一无所有,每天在克里夫兰闲逛。紧接着就有人给我们打电话,谈唱片合同。
This that brand new instrumental
更疯狂的是,Ashleigh为我和Slim租了一辆尼桑Altima,让我们开车去纽约。她当时要工作或者有其他事,所以不能和我们一起来。所以我们俩打算去纽约和这些公司谈一谈。
I heard he puts his city on
操,一辆开的飞快的车驶离了主道撞到了我们的车。Yo ,我向上帝发誓,醒过来的时候,我一半的身体都在车外的沟里,离我们原来所在的位置大概有15到20英尺远。车子报废了,车窗全碎了。外面下着雨,冷成狗。
That boy, Kells
我不知道是因为我们差点死在几小时前发生的车祸还是其他原因,总之,谈合同的时候,感觉不对,对这家唱片没有好感,所以我们开车回到了克里夫兰。
