歌词
Uhh, Hit them with a lil' ghetto gospel
就让我用这贫民窟福音书,来拯救那些在生活中迷失自我的黑人
Those who wish to follow me (My ghetto gospel)
那些想要追随我的人们啊(接受我的贫民窟福音书吧)
I welcome with my hands
我将会伸出双手迎接你们
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
红日西沉,终入金色山峦
And peace to this young warrior without the sound of guns
安息吧,这年轻的勇士,愿枪声离你远去
If I could recelect before my hood dayz
若我能重回那些迷失自我之前的美好时光
I'd sit and reminisce, ***** and bliss on that good dayz
我会坐下来,回忆那些逝去的朋友和一去不返快乐
i stop and stare at the younger, my heart goes to'em
我停下脚步,注视着那些年轻黑人,我的内心和他们没有什么区别
They tested, it was stressed that fate under
他们受到了更多的教育,可仍受着命运的压迫
In our days, things changed
如今,时过境迁
Everyone's ashamed to the youth cuz the truth looks strange
人们都认为那些年轻黑人是社会的耻辱,但真相很奇怪,完全不是他们认为的那样
And for me it's the worst, we left of a world that's cursed, and it hurts
对于我来说这是最坏的时代,因为我们留给年轻人的是一个充斥着诅咒和伤害的世界
cause any day they'll push the button
若年轻人在这样的世界里做出了恶行
and yall condemned like Malcolm x and Bobby Hunton, died for nothin
那些被上流社会定罪的黑人民权斗士,比如Malcolm X和Bobby Hunton,都将毫无疑义地死去
Don't them let me get teary, the world looks dreary
他们(指Malcolm X和Bobby Hunton,二人都是20世纪黑人民权运动的领袖)的经历令我感动流泪,这世界在他们去世后变得更加凄凉
but when you wipe your eyes, see it clearly
但是,当你擦亮双眼,看清世间这一切
there's no need for you to fear me
你会发现你没有必要害怕我
if you take the time to hear me, maybe you can learn to cheer me
如果你可以花时间倾听我们的故事,也许你可以学着像别人一样为我欢呼
it aint about black or white, cuz we're human
世界的改变与黑人还是白人无关,因为人人生而平等
I hope you see the light before its ruined
我希望你可以在世界变为一片废墟之前看见希望的光芒
my ghetto gospel
倾听我的贫民窟福音书吧
Tell me do you see that old lady aint it sad
告诉我,你是否看见了那个老妇人?她是不是很伤心?
Living out a bag, plus she's glad for the little things she has
她穷困潦倒,把她活下去的希望寄托在她拥有的那些不值钱的小东西上
And over there there's a lady, crack got her crazy
那边有一位女士,毒品使她精神扭曲
Guess she's given birth to a baby
她会不会将毒品的不良影响传给她的孩子?
I don't trip and let it fade me, from outta the frying pan
我不会漠不关心地匆忙走过,也不会坐视这一切在我眼前消失不见
We're jumping to another form of slavery
我们虽然在法律上获得了自由,却受到了另一种形式的奴役
Even now I keep discouraged
现在甚至连我都失去了勇气
Wonder if they take it all back while I still keep the courage
想像一下,如果之前的那些苦难又重新回到我们身边,还有谁会依旧保持勇敢?
I refuse to be a role model
我拒绝成为别人的榜样
I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottle
我只是制定目标,控制自我,饮完我瓶中的酒
I make mistakes, I learn from everyone
我也像常人一样犯错误,但我会在犯错误之后向他人请教,吸取教训
And when its said and done
如果人们都像我一样做的话
I bet this Brotha be a better one
我确信那些黑人们会变得更好
If I'm upset, you don't stress
如果我对你感到失望,你也不要感到紧张
Never forget, that God hasn't finished with me yet
不要忘了,上帝还没有和我完成他的计划
I feel his hand on my brain
我感受到祂用双手感知我的头脑中思想
When I write rhymes, I go blind, and let the lord do his thang
当我写下这些旋律,我会闭上双眼,让上帝通过我来做祂所做的事情
But am I less holy
但人非圣贤,孰能无过?
Cuz I choose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homies
我有时也会自高自大,与朋友一起饮酒作乐
Before we find world peace
在我们实现世界和平之前
We gotta find peace in that war on the streets
我们还是先停止街头的争斗吧
My ghetto gospel
聆听我的贫民窟福音书吧
Lord can you hear me speak!!
上帝啊,您可以听到我的话语吗!!!
To pay the price of being hell bound...
那些作恶多端的人必将为自己的行为付出代价
