歌词
A body of water inside me
身体中流淌的是家乡的湖水
Reminds me of oceans, though I've never known one
提醒我这水域就是我的海洋 尽管没见过大海的形状
I'm born by a cold one
出生在冰冷的湖水旁
It's only a small one compared
其他的水域比较 它们都微不足道
To the coast, I prefer it to most
但和海岸比较 我还是钟爱我出生的地方
I like water that don't burn my eyes when they open
我钟爱的水不会在我睁眼时将它灼烧
I won't let you criticize
我不允许你对它的批判
My city like my skin, it's so pretty
我的故乡和我的皮肤一样惹人喜爱
If you don't like it, just leave it alone
如果你不喜欢它 请你离开
You gotta love me like I love the lake
你对我的爱和我对这湖的爱必须保持一致
You wanna love me, better love the lake
也必须比我爱我的家乡 爱的更用力
You gotta love me like I love the lake
你对我的爱和我对这湖的爱必须保持一致
You wanna love me, better love the lake
也必须比我爱我的家乡 爱的更用力
You didn't think I really had it like that
你怀疑过我们的爱
You ain't think we really had it like that
你否定过我们的爱
You didn't think I really had it like that
你过去总质疑我们的爱
Matter fact, we can swim in it
事实上 我们无法在爱琴海遨游
I know you wanna get in it
我知道了此心愿你焦急万分
Get on the highway, highway, baby
那就一起开上湖边的高速路
Look at it my way, my way, baby
好好欣赏我的魅力
See, we can fly away, fly away, baby
幻想着能一起飞上天空
And we don't ever leave the ground
可我们丢不掉对这片土地的爱
No, no, no
丢不掉
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
丢不掉
This here ain't for no Vice doc
Vice歌颂这片土地
This here ain't for no Spike op
Spike宣扬它到远方
But since I was one like a cyclops
后来我独自一人 像独眼人的眼睛
I run up some stairs on a bike cop
骑上几层台阶
I shake up some hands on the right block
在我自己的街区和伙计们耍骚
Block club president, night watch
身为团体CEO以及维持秩序的保镖 不敢有丝毫大意
My ****** was real when the mic dropped
麦克风举到嘴边 我的伙计是这个世界上最真实的人
I put 'em in my wheel like a bike lock
载他们出街的我很是骄傲
Got family in Gary and STL, I got cousins in Milwaukee
我有家人在Gary和STL 我有兄弟姐妹在密尔沃基
I got family in Detroit and ATL, I got an auntie that steal our ****
我有家人在底特律和ATL 我也有亲戚偷抽
We the number one gentrified
我们白手起家
Run inside, gimme my land, the new Chi t**s' perky
我们突破重重阻碍 带来一个全新的芝加哥
Face lift and makeshift spaces
迎接挑战灵活变通
Invest the rest in a number 25 Knicks jersey
将剩下的投资给了尼克斯的新25号罗斯
Grass is greener in Pasadena or Catalina by the water
帕萨迪纳市更绿湖边的卡特琳娜更美丽
Where the overlap between bullet holes and backpacks couldn't be farther
孩子们的背包和单孔重叠的悲剧不会再延续
And I'm supposed to father my daughter?
我应该会好好教育我的孩子
She the princess in the dragon's lair
她是我的公主
I'm a dragon slayer, I can't fly away
我是屠龙者 我不能远行
To some hideaway, I gotta find a way
那些艰难险阻 我需要找一条路
Get on the highway, highway, baby
那就一起开上湖边的高速路
Look at it my way, my way, baby
好好欣赏我的魅力
See, we can fly away, fly away, baby
幻想着能一起飞上天空
And we don't ever leave the ground
可我们丢不掉对这片土地的爱
No, no, no
丢不掉
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
丢不掉
I will never leave you

In the midst of tragedy, in the midst of injustice
在不断地悲剧中 在不断地不公下
In the midst of pain, life goes on all of the sudden
在不断地痛苦中学习 生活一如既往
Because what else can we do but move forward

You know, the bucket boys are still playing on 87th

The CD man is still walking up and down 79th

The kids are still going to school, the kids are still playing outside

That just shows our resilience
我们是如此顽强
