歌词
Melodiq, Pat D, Lady P sounding sweet
我们三个 绝佳组合
The UK and the USA
席卷欧美 跨越大西洋的阻隔
Paradox and Melodiq, poetic like sonnets
念出你我名字 胜过十四行诗
Words come alive, these lyrics keep flowing
我嘴说活文字 说唱永不停止
我们一展歌喉 哎呦 不错呦
Melodiq, Pat D, Lady P sounding sweet
燃爆不列颠 嗨翻美利坚
The UK and the USA
说唱天王天后 今日在此聚首
Paradox and Melodiq, poetic like sonnets
高音枪击低音炮轰 gogogo
Go together like treble and bass
所谓良心音乐 不光歌词更要感觉
灵魂热情不灭 创作直到深夜
Music’s meaning is more than the words, it’s the feeling
鲜活的唱片 余音绕梁的体验
The passion, the soul, writing late in the evenings
我们讴歌梦想 也不忘掉信仰
It breathes in the records like turn to the ceiling
歌词深入人心 贯穿脉络无尽
Motivated dreaming, back to what believing
但凡水陆所及 我们大名鼎鼎
It’s been in hearts, on tracks in vain
媒体天天哔哔 黑得不够过瘾
It’s seen in awe on graff on trains
敢讲不图好听 说唱才受欢迎
The media try to attack its name
不过我算老几 下啥说唱定义
But the realness can’t be attached to fame
投胎不够争气 痛失绝佳先机
But who am I to say what hip-hop is?
说唱红遍电视 我们还未面世
Hip-hop was before Paradox lived
那时说唱出奇 灵魂写手执笔
Before Yo! MTV Raps got big
DJ干完苦力 晚上照样嗨皮
When the soul and the words was what made hop hits
现在这个年代 节奏混乱错拍
DJs rock kicks after digging in the crates
物欲迷乱人眼 说唱刷新下限
Now we’re living in an age where the rhythm is misplaced
不如默默吃瓜 幻想名嘴在家
It’s all about the chains, the millions you make
无病呻吟之词 有人奉为圭臬
So I sit back, imagine as I listen to the greats
这是真说唱没毛病
一派胡言之作 有人信以为真
Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
有什么意义吗
It’s real hip-hop
陈词滥调之说 有人不厌其烦
Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
这就是真说唱
What’s it worth?
乌合之众 我无一苟同
商业垃圾 岂能同日而语
Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
正宗说唱数不胜数 情真意切发自肺腑
It’s real hip-hop
说可启迪民众 唱有韵律万种
Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
高举手中酒杯 致敬敞开心扉
Some say it’s still the same, it ain’t that
绝不低估行动的力量
时刻聆听身边的声响
It’s the authentic, all the time prolific, lyrical extraordinaire
说唱鼻祖不搞混音
Got rhymes to share, to educate the masses
照样凭此款款精品
Toasting the realness, raise your glasses
不玩邮箱 出口成章
Never underestimate the movement
今日嘻哈 江河日下
Always keeping my ear to the pavement
从来不乏闲言碎语 断言说唱不会延续
That’s what the pioneers did back then
然而经年累月 商机不断发掘
Before they had two 12s making the blend
只是火候过头
No emails to send, only word of mouth
早衰源于早熟
Seems that real hip-hop is in a drought
现在该我出镜 完成未竟使命
Critics kept saying that it wouldn’t last
直面恶意风评 唤起心底共鸣
Through the years it persevered and made cash
泥沙俱下 难辨真伪
Somehow it grew up too fast
这说唱厉害
Matured incorrectly, evidently
鱼目混珠 不明觉厉
Now it’s time to do my thing
可价值何在
With ill flows and vibes that I bring no doubt
所谓嘻哈 还一如既往吗
如假包换
Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
所谓嘻哈 别无二致吗
It’s real hip-hop
那你不妨想想他们
Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
Gang Starr
What’s it worth?
Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
Large Professor
It’s real hip-hop
上帝之子
Hip-hop, some say it’s still the same
Now let’s take a sec to think back
A Tribe Called Quest
KRS-One
Gangstarr
光是这样说
JD
已经够让我自惭形秽了
Common Sense
你们看到的这些鼻祖的唱片
Large Pro
某种程度上可以说是他们平生梦想碎片的堆砌
Nas
以上提到的这些嘻哈名嘴 可以说
Pete Rock
职业生涯基本都结束了 真的
Tribe Called Quest
十年后嘻哈新人们也都会是这样
KRS was number one
所以到那个时候 就这样想吧：
“没错 我的说唱无人可敌 而且我还是
Just being in here
我还是全世界最好的嘻哈歌手 管他呢
Is a humbling experience to me
反正喜欢我的爵士乐迷也都这么觉着 这就够了”
Because you’re looking through all these records
And it’s sort of like a big pile of broken dreams in a way
Almost none of these artists still have a
A career, really
Ten years down the line you’ll be in here
So keep that in mind when you start thinking like
“Oh yeah, I’m invincible and I’m the
I’m the world’s best or whatever
Because that’s what all these cats thought
