歌词
Why so sad?
怎么不高兴？
Walking around with them blue faces
板着脸四处晃悠
She said I'm down on my luck
她说算我倒霉
And it's something I gotta have
而我有时还有些东西得学
Blue faces
那就是学忧郁
I hit the bank today and told them color me bad
于是我今天奔向银行，告诉他们给我点打击
Blue faces
让我抑郁点
Get that new money, and it's breaking me down honey
而拿着崭新钞票，实在让我失望而归
Two tears in the bucket I cry with you
我同你哭诉，生活不如意但仍要继续
But I could never lie with you
但我不可能做光靠你的小白脸
I could never afford not to afford
我总会对钱精打细算
I could never put my plans to the side with you
不会为你付诸一切，
I could never see a red light
我时速一百八永不止步
Like a deer with a headlight
永不像车前灯鹿（一种卡牌骰子游戏，转到这个会进程停滞）一样止步
I freeze up when I re-up
再度复出的我焦躁不安
See I barely have patience
我耐心不多——
And you're relating
而你也有责任吧，
Only the moment to complete us
关系到我们两个人的时候
Why you hate to work for it?
为什么你不乐意修复我们的关系？
The reason I never went to work for it
我从未有意先认错是因为
See a nine to five was so jive turkey
我知道朝九晚五生活简直荒唐
But when Thanksgiving came that check didn't hurt me
临近感恩节，我就不计较你的啰哩啰唆啦
You plead the fifth
你沉默应对
I read the Fifth Amendment
我也知道拥有沉默权
We both criminals with bad intentions
我们都故意赌气不说话
They say time heals all
都说时间冲淡一切
But if I can shortcut
但若我先放下身架会更快吧
My success, Corvettes by tomorrow
也许不到明天就能和好如初
Why so sad?
怎么不开心？
Walking around with them blue faces
板着脸晃荡
She said I'm down on my luck
她说我可倒大霉了，
And it's something I gotta have
得学着点
Blue faces
学着点抑郁
I hit the bank today and told them color me bad
于是我今天奔向银行，告诉他们给我点打击
Blue faces
让我忧郁些
Get that new money, and it's breaking me down honey
而我拿着崭新钞票，还真让我有些失望。
My home girl got a credit card scam
我那女票啊，接到信用卡诈骗电话
She got a scholarship to college but she don't give a damn
电话说她得到了大学奖学金，她甚至一点也不在乎，
Intuition she got a broke bitch wishin'
而仅仅因为女人第六感我在和一个穷婊欢愉
She tell me this on the phone with the noodles in the pan
就能丢下锅里的面条打电话查岗
I know you, woman, I console you, woman
我知道你脾性，出好言相慰
You feel like the universe owes you, woman
你感觉全宇宙都欠你的
Oh the anticipation, of hoping you could make it
我心怀希望，你可以做到
Bitches don't prosper chasing education
底层贱婊出于教育失败
But you're talented, and can't handle it
而你才华横溢，连你都应付不来
And your homegirls can't be your manager
你的闺蜜们难道能胜任？
365 times four, plus more
365乘4加N等于多少？
If yan't get it right, tell me, do you got the stamina?
若你算不出来，可有恒心学习？
But shit, ain't no money like fast money
但人人都想赚快钱不愿潜心，
Even today I'm considered a crash dummy
即使今天的我,也考虑过快工赶活赚钱，做没灵魂唱将
A rapper chasing stardom, how can I fast forward?
但我是rapper,追求地位造诣，怎能按下快进了事？
My accolades better than all them
荣誉至高无上。
Why so sad?
怎么不高兴？
Walking around with them blue faces
到处一副忧郁相
She said I'm down on my luck
她说我课不走运
And it's something I gotta have
我得学会
Blue faces
抑郁点
I hit the bank today and told them color me bad
于是我今天奔向银行，告诉他们给我点打击
Blue faces
让我也能板着脸
Get that new money, and it's breaking me down honey
但拿着崭新的钞票，真让我失望呀。
I wrote this song looking at a broke home baby
我写下这首歌，眼前恍现一个家徒四壁的孩子（Kendrick Lamar他自己）
You know the poverty stricken the little broke boy and babies
你可知家贫如洗对这一类孩子打击多致命
Somebody yell "Kendrick American, they sho' is crazy"
有人会对我说“伟大国父Kendrick,你简直无可救药！”
And I said "why?"
我问之为何
Then he looked me in the eye, and said "nigga you fucked up"
他直视我眼，说我搞砸了一切
You're banking on good luck, you wishing for miracles
你希望好运降临，或期盼奇迹出现
You never been through shit, you're crying hysterical
你不曾跌落谷底，却哭得歇斯底里
You settle for everything, complain about everything
好运时安于安乐，背运则抱怨忧患
You say you sold crack, my world amphetamine
你威胁说要爆料，说我依赖兴奋剂
Your projects ain't shit, I live in a hut bitch
算盘可狗屁不通，因为我过着朴素生活。
I'm living to keep warm, you living to pay rent
我活得有所追求，你活得疲于奔命
I paid my way through, praying to Allah
我甘于付出，虔诚祈祷
You played your way through, by living in sci-fi
而你还活在梦里——
Bullshitting yourself, you talking to strangers
自欺欺人，和陌生人搭话时，
Same thing goes for the ones you came with
也满嘴吹着谎言
When y'all came on the boat looking for hope
就算你们都登上诺亚方舟，寻求希望
And all you can say is that you're looking for dope
你的说辞也不过只能是在找毒品
These days ain't no compromise
这些天来我可没浑浑度日
And your pain ain't mines half the time
你所经历的磨难不及我一半
A brand new excuse ain't shit to me
你那些新奇的借口简直好笑
Bitch I made my moves, with shackled feet
我虽脚镣，前行依旧。
Cape Town
Cape Town！到你登场！
In today's day and age we practice the self
如今时代，人人都在为自我
pity of taking the easy way out
实在遗憾，大家都繁文缛节
You wait on them, him and her
不论男女，虚情假意在应付
But when a blessing takes long, that's when you go wrong
但当你都懒得祈祷，就是你误入歧途之时
You selfish motherfucker
懂吗，七彩螺旋自私逼
Why so sad?
怎么不高兴？
Walking around with them blue faces
到处给着脸色
She said I'm down on my luck
说我霉运连连
And it's something I gotta have
得有一副扮相，
Blue faces
最好是板着脸
I hit the bank today and told them color me bad
于是我今天奔向银行，告诉他们给我点打击
Blue faces
让我抑郁点
Get that new money, and it's breaking me down honey
拿着崭新美元，真让我失望。
