歌词
He rolled up, asked him what he was sippin' on
他走到朋友跟前 问他在喝什么
He said lean, You want to hit it, dawg?
朋友答到:"这就是传说中的lean啊，你要不要来一口"
That's the same stuff
他问道"这就是
Weezy's sippin' huh?
小李伟经常提的那东西吧"
And tons of other rappers that be spittin' hard
"其他rapper也是经常在歌里提到来着对吧"
Yup yup five a bone
朋友笑着说:"对啊对啊，就是那玩意"
When he passed him that styrofoam the easter pink, heard it in a rhyme before
他从朋友手里接下那杯饮料 那粉色和歌里描述的毫无差别
Finally got to see what all the hype was on
今天终于让我见识到了!
And then he took a sip, sittin' in the Lincoln thinkin' he was pimpin' as he listen to the system
他小小喝了一口 坐在林肯车里 感觉自己牛逼的如同歌里所说一样
Little did he know that it was just as addictive as base
他认为这玩意能让人多上瘾
Not the kind of hit from the kick drum
但是那种瘾却绝对比音乐可怕
Hot box, let the base bump
音乐响着 车里烟雾弥漫
Take it to the face, gulp
一口口的品尝已经不够过瘾 他干脆一饮而尽
Months later the use went up
几个月后他的服药量越来越大
Every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff
但是真见鬼了
But Goddamn he loved that feelin'
他无法抗拒这美妙的感觉
Purple rain coated in the throat
药水染紫了他的喉咙
Just so healin'
但他感觉棒极了
Medicine alleviate the sickness
完全无药可救的上瘾
Liquid affix and it comes with a cost
依附性无限扩大 随之而来是可怕的代价
Wake up, cold sweat, scratchin', itchin'
惊醒 冷汗 抓挠 钻心的痒
Trying to escape the skin that barely fit him
他甚至想要脱离这幅皮囊
Gone, get another bottle just to get a couple swallows
爽啊 一瓶一瓶不停的往下灌
Headed towards the bottom couldn't get off it
即使舔瓶底都不能满足他的渴望
Didn't even think he had a problem
要命的是他都不觉得有什么异样
Though he couldn't sleep without gettin' nauseous
然而他现在不吐上几回根本睡不着
Room spinnin', thinkin' he might of sipped just a little bit too much of that cough syrup
房间旋转着 他才意识到自己是不是喝的有那么一点点多
His eyelids closed shut
他的眼皮慢慢闭上
Sat back in the chair clutchin' that cup
安详的躺在沙发上 但手里依旧紧攥着杯子
Girlfriend came and a couple hours later said his name shook him but he never got up
女朋友来了之后 试图叫醒他 摇晃他 但他再也没有醒来
He never got up, he never got up
永远的睡了过去 再也没有醒来
We live on the cusp of death thinkin' that it won't be us
我们活在死亡的边缘 却还安慰自己不会是下一个
It won't be us, it won't be us, it won't be us
不会是我 绝不可能!
Nah, it won't be us
这种事不可能发生在我身上!
[01:50.40]
他只是想像自己的偶像一样
Now he just wanted to act like them
像他一样说唱
He just wanted to rap like him
但是作为rapper 我们低估了我们所言所语对听众产生的影响
Us as rappers underestimate the power and the effects that we have on these kids
帅气的吸着大麻 不经意的抖抖烟灰 贩卖毒品 每天过着被警察追捕的刺激生活
Blunt passed, ash in a tin, pack being pushed, harassed by the feds
事实上 唱这些的人 他们根本就没做过这些
The fact of it is most people that rap like this talkin' about some shit they haven't lived
很惊讶吗?我来给你讲讲这一行的规矩
Surprise, you know the drill
他们为了销量什么也做得出来
Trapped in a box, declined record sales
说唱热单的秘诀:暴力 毒品 性交易
Follow the formula violence, drugs, and, sex sells
这样我们听起来就牛逼了不少
So we try to sound like someone else
这可不是电视节目不是态度 更不是儿戏
This is not Californication
这痛苦无论如何都是无法美化的
There's no way to glorify this pavement
天天酷酷的吸着飞着 结局必定是身无分文 老无所依
Syrup, Percocet, and an eighth a day will leave you broke, depressed, and emotionally vacant
我不知道lil wayne是怎么个情况
Despite how Lil Wayne lives
这玩意根本没给我带来过灵感
It's not conducive to being creative
我知道这些因为他是我的最爱
And I know 'cause he's my favorite
同时也正因如此我染上了毒瘾
And I know 'cause I was off that same mix
听了Dedication之后你可能真的会觉得他说的很对
Rationalize the shit that I'd try after I listen to dedication
但他根本不是正常人 我喝了那玩意之后 不是晕倒就是无力创作
But he's an alien, I'd sip that shit, pass out or play Playstation
几个月后我完全没有进步
Months later I'm in the same place
一首歌也没有 被失败的心情折磨
No music made, feeling like a failure
而且相信我 25岁还搬回爹妈家里住一点都不酷
And trust me it's not dope to be 25 and move back to your parent's basement
我亲眼见证毒品毁了挚友的梦想
I've seen my people's dreams die
我亲眼见证毒品让他们受人唾弃
I've seen what they can be denied
大麻不是毒品 这话纯属放屁
And "weeds not a drug" - that's denial
行尸走肉般的人生循环播放
Groundhog Day life repeat each time
奥施康定在我面前亲手夺走三条活生生的人命
I've seen Oxycontin take three lives
他们都是我的发小 我们却一同走上这条邪道
I grew up with them, we used to chief dimes
我亲眼见证吸可卡因的人如同恶魔附身
I've seen cocaine bring out the demons inside
他们出口就是谎言
Cheatin' and lyin'
放弃友谊 心神不宁
Friendship cease, no peace in the mind
偷鸡摸狗以求毒品的慰藉
Stealin' and takin' anything to fix the pieces inside
破产 无助 无依无靠
Broken, hopeless, headed nowhere
唯一的动力就是毒贩子手里的东西
Only motivation for what the dealer's supplying
这些玩意确实曾带给我至高无上的快感
That rush, that drug, that dope
小小的药片 细细的烟丝
Those pills, that crumb, that roach
小时我发誓不会碰这些东西 不会碰毒品
Thinkin' I would never do that, not that drug
长大之后成为一个有出息的人
And growing up nobody ever does
直到有一天 你突然发现你成为了你不想成为的那个人
Until your stuck, lookin' in the mirror like I can't believe what I've become
年轻时的话
Swore I was goin' to be someone
是否说的太早
And growing up everyone always does
我们出卖梦想和未来
We sell our dreams and our potential
试图通过药品来逃避现实
To escape through that buzz
助我向前吧
Just keep me up, keep me up
名望与金钱 我来了
Hollywood here we come
