Who Tells Your Story (feat. Common & Ingrid Michaelson)

歌词
制作人 : !Ilmind
我的思绪闪现,我看见大师们的余烬
混音师 : Mikaelin 'Blue' BlueSpruce
那些启发大众的人,我自问是否会成为其中一员
编程 : !llmind
当我死的时候,天堂是否已筑成?
母带工程师 : Chris Gehringer
我的传奇故事会变成怎样?
人声 : Ahmir Thompson/Tarik Trotter
我将永远保持年轻
My mind flashes I see the asses of the masters
借着在奥德尔的霹雳舞的传说
Who test the masses I ask if I'll ever be one
我的灵魂停在以我命名的街道上
When I die will heaven be done
渴望加入唱诗班,在三一教堂
What will my legend become
我想起了轩尼诗带来的美好回忆
I will forever be young
记忆被感知划分
Through old tales of breakdancing down at Odell's
它会是“水配巧克力”还是“复活”?(都是歌手的专辑名)
Streets named after me is where my soul dwells
通往完美的路很少能走到底
Desires of a church choir trinity united
我朝着那个方向前进,怀着梦想和信心
I think of good memories that Hennessy provided
一个地下歌手的发展超出预期
Memories divided by perception
来自风之城(芝加哥的别称)的我就像风刮过屋檐
在某时某地我发出强音
Will it be water for chocolate or resurrection
但若鹤立鸡群,有时你会被冻僵
The path to perfection is rarely achieved
在严寒中
I head in that direction I dream and believe
谁生
又谁死
An underground dude that overachieve
谁坚守着,为了芸芸众生
From the windy city I was blowing they eaves
时光荏苒又匆匆
Somewhere along the way I aired out MCs
到头来可有人讲你的故事?
But to stand out some days you may freeze
谁生谁死谁叙你平生
哟,随着时间冻结,人们的期待浮现
Degrees
太平间里的无名黑人们
Who lives
因为冲着金发女郎吹口哨而被私刑处死
我闭上眼睛说出祷告
And who dies
当我在贫民窟里给上膛,哟
我一度处于危险边缘(指歌手曾一度考虑自我了结)
Who holds on to all our lives
但作为一个年轻的国王
这可能与你设想的不同
Time and time and time again
我羽毛笔沾满墨水写下的东西
会让你记得我哪怕我死去
Will they tell your story in the end
哟,为年轻的法老唱首颂歌
利维坦巨怪被他一箭毙命(利维坦是圣经中的深海巨怪,也是托马斯霍布斯学书中的意象)
Who lives who dies who tells your story
当我如通过枪膛旋出,只是为了看它炸开
Yo the anticipation arose as time froze
我告诉他们要做有心人,必须远行(找工作的人会自我推销说,have tux, will travel自带家伙且能出差)
The black men in the morgue were John Does
即使我无法活到谢幕时,我的遗存仍然活着
Lynched for whistling at blond-oes
首先要意识到我们努力的方向
I said a prayer with my eyes closed
四下闹事,找到我们正在寻找的东西
As I loaded the Roscoe's at the sink yo
把我的名字用草书写在地球上
I been a bullet on the brink
谁生
But being a young king
又谁死
Probably different than you think though
谁坚守着,为了芸芸众生
The quills that I dip into the ink go to document
时光荏苒又匆匆
And you'll remember me when I'm extinct
到头来可有人讲你的故事?
Yo sing the carol at a young pharaoh
谁生谁死谁叙你平生
Who slew Leviathan with one arrow
谁生
As I revolve through the gun barrel just to watch it unravel
又谁死
I tell them have heart must travel
谁坚守着,为了芸芸众生
Keep my legacy alive even if I don't survive 'til the curtain call
时光荏苒又匆匆
First of all realize what we working towards
到头来可有人讲你的故事?
谁生谁死谁叙你平生
**** around find what we searching for
时间凝固,我无法“放开手”(也指冰雪奇缘中的歌名)
The earth my name written in cursive on
Nat Cole的那首“难以忘怀”令人难以忘怀
而人们给我的高位,就像我最终会加入美联储,
Who lives
只不过您的钱都是用嘻哈记录
我写的一些狗屁东西可能改律
And who dies
从带我们上岸的船到有我们名字的灯箱广告
经历过困难时期,我依然激发思想保持火种
Who holds on to all our lives
我写了很多韵文,仿佛我的时间已所剩无几
实话说,我的秒表是有神力的
Time and time and time again
几个世纪后,他们将放着我的即兴说唱
Will they tell your story in the end
并且说,这是一个美国黑人孩子的光彩
Who lives who dies who tells your story
才华被街头巷尾赋予,芝加哥也为之骄傲(chi,俚语,即芝加哥)
学习到在沉默中的行动也可以闹出声响
Who lives
那些女孩和男孩们发出的喧闹节拍
逐渐形成破坏掉城市的触手
And who dies
我的人生如歌里的和弦,压迫者充耳不闻、
只看到民众齐声歌唱,我的故事归于主的荣耀
Who holds on to our lives
谁生(谁生)
Time and time and time again
又谁死(谁死)
谁坚守着,为了芸芸众生
Will they tell your story in the end
时光荏苒又匆匆
到头来可有人讲你的故事?
Who lives who dies who tells your story
谁生谁死谁叙你平生
Frozen in time I can't let it go
Nat cole unforgettable
The pedestal I'm on I'mma end up on the Federal
Reserve note your money with a hip hop quote
I might change legislation with some ***t that I wrote
From boats that we came on to lights with our name on
Through hard times we spark minds to keep the flame on
I write hard rhymes like I'm running out of time
Truthfully my stopwatch is one with the divine
Centuries from now they'll play my freestyle
And say this is the brilliance of a black American child
Endowed by the streets and the chi proud
Known to move in silence but can be loud
The noise of beat girls and boys
Building to destroy the perception of urban aggression
My life is progression of chords for the oppressors
A chorus my story is the glory of the lord
Who lives who lives
And who dies who dies
Who holds on to all our lives
Time and time and time again
Will they tell your story in the end
Who lives who dies who tells your story
