歌词
Now this is how it is
这就是事实
To wake up with your pockets tapped out, you're ass out
身无分文、鹑衣鹄面地醒来
It's nowhere to turn, you get burned
无枝可依，你心急如焚
You wanna see the sun but all you get is rainy weather
想见风和日丽但都是乌云万里
Word life kid, things can only get better
这就是生活，年轻人，事物总是向好发展
You're fresh out the beast, no peace on your earth
你的世界已无安宁，对可憎之人也熟视无睹
Searching for the end of the rainbow it gets worse
寻觅霓虹之末，每况愈下
No occupation without an education
不学无术只会无业可从
You're facing expiration in a six-foot location
六尺之躯无奈合同到期
Life is building stress on your brain
生活对汝之意志施压
Every other day you find it harder to maintain
日复一日，你觉得人困马乏
But you gotta for your seeds' sake don't break
年轻人，但为了你的孩子，要废寝忘食
Stay strong for your queen, kid, it won't be long
为了你的妻子，坚强起来
Till you overcome to obstacles stopping you from prospering
直到克服阻碍你幸福发展的困难，马上就会好起来的
No more five to ten bids up at Sing Sing
在新新（美国地名）不会再有廉价商品
And life gets no easier, you gotta see your way to resist temptation
千淘万漉虽辛苦
Cause soon there'll be a better day
吹尽狂沙始到金
纵使前路灰暗
Even though the skies is grey around your way
若你心向光明
You're looking for a better day
光明定如期而至
In due time the sun will shine around your way
心向光明
Yeah, you're looking for a better day
纵使前路灰暗
Even though the skies is grey around your way
你一定要心向光明
You're looking for a better day
光明定如期而至
In due time the sun will shine around your way
你要心向光明，一定
You're looking for a better day
再一次地，我天真地认为我看透了
难以置信的，我成为父亲还有九个月
Once again I think I can see
但这就是这疯狂世界中的现实
That would be nine months down the line, it's hard to believe
你的猫都想纵欲生子
But that's what's going on in this crazy world today
但此时真为人父
You got cats who wanna lay back and make babies
为父却歇斯底里，临阵脱逃，恬不知耻地站在一旁不愿被打扰
But when it comes time to be a father
一息尚存，一子嗷嗷待哺
Dad just flips the script screaming that he don't wanna be bothered
我教授他们知识而非诡诈之道
You're left with one breath and a starving seed
现你深陷大梦泥沼
I feed em knowledge instead of the devil's trickery
再见！梦想！我对你的需要感到同情
Now you fall into a section with eight dreams
家徒四壁，妻离子散
Farewell to your goals, I'm sympathetic to your needs
他们告诫过你，他奸诈贪婪
No roof over your head, no family
现在你要付出（不听）的代价
They warned you about the *****, he was mad sneaky
我有何可奉告
Now there's a pretty price to pay
误入贫民之列，万念俱灰
What can I say? It hits me in my heart that way
但谁照顾你的妻儿
You're down and out in the ghetto contemplating letting go of life
要坚强，振作，继往开来
But who's gonna take care of you know?
我保证光明必至
Stay strong yo, try to get yourself together
纵使前路灰暗
I promise you there will be days that's much better
若你心向光明
光明必如期而至
Even though the skies is grey around your way
你定要心向光明
You're looking for a better day
纵使前路灰暗
In due time the sun will shine around your way
若你心向光明
Yeah, you're looking for a better day
光明定会如期而至
Even though the skies is grey around your way
你一定要心向光明，一定
You're looking for a better day
说在最后，我的生活
In due time the sun will shine around your way
赤手空拳，一事无成，痴人说梦
Yeah, you're looking for a better day
自身难保，何谈奉献
珍惜你的生活，我就是血的教训
Last but not least is the story of my life
为何信我？因我有病，恃强凌弱
Straight zero, a loser who wants to be a hero
酗酒成瘾，追大胸女
I gotta save myself before I can sacrifice
和朋友在教养院鬼混
Saving your life cause I ain't living right
我二十多了还孑然一身
Why trust me? I got problems, abusing substances
在我到AA抗癌前
Alcoholism, I'm chasing girls with big breastesess
我应该停止沉湎于答案
Hanging with them kids down the hall in the group home
但黑人社会的痛一览无余
I'm twenty deep but yet I still feel alone
乍一看，统一并不存在
I gotta stop depending on the bottle for the answers
玩弄枪支，草菅人命
Before I end up in AA battling cancer
天真之小人终成无情之杀手
But now my eyes can see the pain in the black community
今之光景又该赖谁？
It seems though there ain't no unity
振作起来同志们！光明定会造访！
Gun play today results in thoughtless killings
纵使前路黑暗
Innocent little shorties turning into ruthless villains
若你心向光明
Now who's to blame for the game that we play?
光明定如期而至
Tighten up y'all, tomorrow is a better day
你一定要心向光明，一定
纵使前路黑暗
Even though the skies is grey around your way
若你心向光明
You're looking for a better day
光明定如期而至
In due time the sun will shine around your way
你定要心向光明
Yeah, you're looking for a better day
你定要心向光明
Even though the skies is grey around your way
你定要心向光明
You're looking for a better day
你定要心向光明
In due time the sun will shine around your way
You're looking for a better day
You're looking for a better day
You're looking for a better day
You're looking for a better day
