歌词
OK, OK
好吧,好吧
Yeah
We live tonight
我们活在当下
Check it, now
看好了,就是现在
I seen pain, I felt the losses
我曾目睹过痛苦也曾对迷失感同身受
Attended funerals and seen coffins
我参加过葬礼看到过灵柩
21 years old, an angel was lost here
年仅二十一 如天使般的灵魂却已消失
Wings clipped by the grip of 80 milligram sniffs of oxycontin
他的双翅被吸入的80毫克奥施康定折断 (P.S 奥施康定是种止痛药)
Everyday through the nostrils
每天通过鼻腔吸入
Never went away, never does it stop there
困在其中 从未停止
Death a line or two away and a couple tall cans
一两条药片碾成的粉末 再加上几罐酒 死亡便如此靠近
Cause you never know when God is gonna call, man
你真的不知道什么时候上帝就会召唤你,伙计
Precious, what we all share
珍重 我们都会如此
I said peace at 5:30, the next time that I saw him was in the hands of the pallbearer
五点半我说了再见,没想到下次再见竟是在他的灵柩边
What if I would've never gone and dropped him off there?
如果我没有走,如果我没有把他放到他家,这一切是不是就不会发生?
Blaming myself, in hysterics, screaming "It's not fair!"
我发了疯地责备自己,愤怒地叫吼世界的不公
21 years old with a book of rhymes he was gonna recite to the globe
二十一岁却才华横溢,他的歌原本将被全世界听见
Only thing to numb the pain besides that shit in his nose
除了那可恶的白粉,唯有这份才华能让他痛苦麻痹
He was gonna quit tomorrow, we're all gonna quit tomorrow
明天他就戒了,明天我们就都戒了
Just get us through the weekend, and then Monday follows
这份决心才让我们熬过周末,周一紧跟着来了
Then it's Wednesday, then it's "fuck it, I'm already feeling hollow"
然后周三到了,才几天,已经感觉“我已经空虚的不行”
Might as well go crack a seal and might as well go chug a bottle
可能会忍不住拆开密封,一口气灌下一瓶酒
Might as well go pop a pill and band-aid that problem
也可能嗑一粒药,给伤口贴个急救绷带
And escape this world, vacate this world
然后,逃离这个世界
Cause I hate myself
因为我痛恨自己
No praying's gonna cure this pain
无论怎么祈祷,都无法愈合我的伤痛
医生,请给我开一剂美国梦
Doctor, please, give me a dose of the American Dream
你放下笔,看着我的眼睛
Put down the pen and look in my eyes
我们在等候室里,感觉有点不对劲
We're in the waiting room and something ain't right
这些都怪你,处方药剂过量了
All this is on you, we're overprescribed
我和Kevin
For me and Kev
他进了监狱,政府部门却视而不见
He went up in jail, institutions are dead
我们这一生,像是在玩着致命的俄罗斯转盘
And with our lives, we play Russian Roulette
试着寻找一种能让我们满意的生活
And try to find a life where we could be content
因为对于我们来说,我们只是在尽量减小活着的恐惧
Cause for us, we're just trying to minimize the fear of being alive
现在我的兄弟Kevin已经溘然长逝
And now my little brother is in the sky
仅仅因为医生开的一颗药丸
From a pill that a doctor prescribed
一颗背后是数十亿美元产业的药丸
That a drug dealing billion dollar industry supplied
警察们从不查处这些致命药物,而是选择在夜色里查处非致命毒品
And the cops never go and profile at night
那些他们卖给你的处方药
Yeah, the, the, the orange plastic with the white top they sell to you
我们一直在寻找解药,却没求助于你
Has us looking for the answers and that instead of you
我们要的是速效药,无论什么代价
Quick fix, whatever'll do
我们只会忽略真相
We just gonna neglect the truth
因为有一个有执照的医生扮演着上帝,信誓旦旦地说着这没问题
Because a doctor with a license played God and said it's cool
扮演着上帝,信誓旦旦地说着这没问题
Played God and said it's cool
而我,我不责怪Kevin,也不责怪他怀着Kevin还吸毒的妈
But me? I don't blame Kev or his mom freebasing while pregnant with him
我责怪那些制药公司
I blame the pharmacy companies
责怪这个花费几万亿来打击毒品却同时从中牟利的国家
And country that spends trillions fighting the war they supplying themselves
政客,交易,监狱
Politicians and business and jail
辩护律师,和不再公正的法官
Public defenders and judges who fail
看看Kevin,看看Kevin吧
Look at Kevin, look at Kevin
现在他已经不在人世了
Now he's wrapped in plastic
他生命中遇见的第一个药贩子,是他妈的药箱
First dealer was his mom's medicine cabinet
焦虑?那来点阿普唑仑(P.S 阿普唑仑是一种抗焦虑药)
Got anxiety, better go and give him a Xanax
想要集中注意力?来点阿得拉(P.S 阿得拉是一种治疗注意力缺失的药)
Focus, give him Adderall, sleep, give him Ambien
直到他像一个橱窗假人一样走在街上
'Til he's walking 'round the city looking like a mannequin
时好时坏,依赖着你给他的处方药
Ups and downs, shooting up prescriptions you're handing him
美利坚?这真的值得么?我在质问你
So America, is it really worth it? I'm asking you
医生,请给我开一剂美国梦
Doctor, please, give me a dose of the American Dream
你放下笔,看着我的眼睛
Put down the pen and look in my eyes
我们在等候室里,感觉有点不对劲
We're in the waiting room and something ain't right
这些都怪你,处方药剂过量了
All this is on you, we're overprescribed
大夫,你的药,你的疗法
Doctor, your medicine and your methods
没能治好我却在扼杀我
Can't cure my disease without killing me
你正在杀死我,你让我丧命
You're killing me, you're killing me
你正在杀死我,你让我丧命
You're killing me, you're killing me
大夫,你的药,你的疗法
Doctor, your medicine and your methods
没能治好我却在扼杀我
Can't cure my disease without killing me
你正在杀死我,你让我丧命
You're killing me, you're killing me
你正在杀死我,你让我丧命
You're killing me, you're killing me
