歌词
I'm a livin' little good thing
我活脱一介自在美好的小生灵
It's like you never lived for me
为自己而活 因为好像未曾有人为我而活
Mama said you was a good thing, uh
妈妈曾说 你也是心地善良的家伙
Good, good, good
Yeah
We came a long way, man, we done came a long way
“回望过去 我们一路走来”
And we sittin' on top of this shit
“如今悠然坐在这行业的顶峰”
This shit can go one or two ways
“干这行会有两条走向”
This shit can go up, it can go down
“要么蒸蒸日上 要么一落千丈”
Either way, nigga, I'm prepared
“不论怎样 我已做好万全准备”
Feel me? Yeah
“懂？”
抱以沉着平和的心态返场 但别触怒我
I be comin' in peace, but **** me
最好留意
Best beware of the others
那些旁人
This shit deep, undercovers creep
南部的高温招致了一场炙热难忍的盛夏
This Southern heat make unbearable summers
就在上周 眼看着你的母亲落泪
Just last week, seen your mama weep
泪流不止 因为她不愿葬下你冤死的兄弟
Crying 'cause she don't wan' bury your brother
当急救车带走她血如泉涌的孩子时
The blood leaks while the EMTs
急救人员像代孕母亲那样担走她心爱的孩子
Gotta carry her baby like surrogate mothers
感激上帝 我们能在恐怖分子的枪口下幸存
Woah, thank God we survived around where the terrorists hovered
尽管满身伤疤 但哪怕煎熬也并非毫无收获
Though traumatized, wouldn't trade it for nothin'
历经磨难 我自那时奋发谋生
Through hard times, it was there I discovered a hustle
在泥沼险境中创造佳作
And makin' the best out the struggle
一直卖力拼搏 升至如今的高度
I kept grindin' 'til this day, up a level
我自重自爱 谨言慎行
Respect mine, gotta stay out of trouble
因为每次扣响AR都会引来TEC-9的回击
'Cause TEC-9's like the AR rebuttals
步入我的世界 这般造诣无人不知
Cole World, niggas knowin' what it is
以防有人并不了解 这次我再向世人展示
Just in case they don't, I show 'em what it is
接下来的夏季 我将揽获绝佳数据
Then in summer, I do real numbers
他们用双碟销量堆成绩 那我可不敢比
Couldn't dare touch it if they sold the double disc
热浪席卷街区 灼人枪火在四处绽放
Block hot, niggas burnin' up the street
街头巷尾每天都有枪响
Shots poppin' and we heard it up the street
好似战争 有人丧命 有人“得分”
It's a war, niggas runnin' up the score
耶稣曾说被打了一边脸 就要坚毅地亮出另一边
Jesus said that you should turn the other cheek
每周都有无力发声的底层同胞罹难街头
Voiceless niggas gettin' murdered every week
尸横遍地 腐臭和腥味弥散在街道
Dead bodies, smell the odor in the street
兄弟终于迎来假释
My homie' homie got out on parole
那时他贩售的狠货比可口可乐还畅销
He sold more Coca-Cola than the soda industry
炎炎盛夏 却感到寒意刺骨
Summertime bring the coldest winter breeze
冰蓝冬日 蓝得好似瘸帮六十年代的扮相
Hella blues like the Rollin' 60's
耶稣基督享年三十三
Christ went to Heaven aged thirty-three
而传奇的PimpC和Nipsey亦是如此
And so did Pimp C and so did Nipsey
“早就说了 我早就说过”
“这条道有人起 有人落 但我毫不在乎”
I told you, I told you
“我见惯了高处的景致”
This shit can go up, it can go down, I don't give a ****
“不止一次”
Nigga, I done seen the highest heights
“我也见过最深的谷底”
I done seen it twice
“依然崛起”
And I've seen them lowest of the lows
“现在我已经扼住你的咽喉”
And still I rose
Now I'm at your neck, nigga, yeah
