歌词
Back in the day they used to call me a criminal
************
Running from the police, hanging with the homies
躲着警察 和兄弟们在外闲逛
Gun in my waist, getting high off the chemicals
*******************
I was only 16, kicked out on the streets
我年仅16 却以街头为家
My mama told me, "If you wanna make it
我的母亲告诉我 如果你想成功
You better figure out your life before they take it"
就要在拥抱生活之前 看清生活的本质
Yeah, my mama told me, "You gotta get smarter
我的母亲还告诉我 你要变得更机灵些
Or you're gonna end up in a cell just like your father"
否则你就会走你父亲的老路 坐穿牢底
Ooh, lord knows I try so hard
哦 主啊 我如此努力的变成优秀的模样
Ooh, lord know I've come so far
哦 主啊 我已经走了如此之远
Ooh-oh, each time I touch the stars
我感觉漫天星河近在眼前
Something always brings me back to earth
一瞬间 却又远在天边
And I'm back digging in the dirt
于是我遍再次落寞沉寂
...
...
And I'm back digging in the dirt
在原地徘徊
I'm coming of age and they call it a miracle
不知不觉我长大了 人们都说 时间过得真快啊
I'm alive and breathing, there's gotta be a reason, I'm still here
我还能好好地活着 一定是有一个原因的
So I pick up the pace, tryna make me some money, oh
于是我加快了步伐 想要挣些钱
Come up with a scheme now, a dirty or a clean now, yeah
我想到了一些手段去赚钱 或许肮脏 或许干净
'Cause my mama tells me, "You better make it
只因我的母亲告诉我 你最好有点出息
If not for yourself, then you should do it for your lady"
就算不是为了你 也要想想靠什么照顾那个她
Yeah, my mama tells me, "You gotta get smarter
我的母亲还告诉我 你要变得更机灵些
You've got a son and in a month you'll have a daughter"
你或许已经有了儿子 不久的未来你还会有个女儿
Ooh, lord knows I try so hard (Yeah)
哦 天哪 我已经倾尽所有
Ooh, lord know I've come so far
哦 主啊 我没有回头路了
Ooh-oh, each time I touch the stars
这灿烂星河好似为我而闪亮
Something always brings me back to earth
可低头看看脚下的路
And I'm back digging in the dirt
我遍再次落寞沉寂
...
...
And I'm back digging in the dirt
热闹是他们的
And I'm back digging in the dirt
我什么都没有
