Control (feat. Kendrick Lamar & Jay Electronica)

歌词
[Verse 1: Big Sean]
我抬头看上帝
[Bridge: Kendrick Lamar]
不着急,不着急
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
我会用好我的时间 (一般rap battle都会30秒准备时间,而这首歌就是从第30s开始的)
[Verse 3: Jay Electronica]
现在是搞大动作的时候了
I look up
Boy,我正忙着为生意而奔波
Yeah and I take my time
我用烈酒下酒
I'mma take my time, woah
我的妞叠在另一个妞身上
Power moves only
就像上下铺一样
Boy I'm 'bout my business on business
我的人生比80岁的老头经历的还要多,却仍旧动力十足
I drink liquor on liquor
他们只是在某些时刻活着,而我为生存而活
I had women on women
但是这首歌是给那些连一垒都不给我上的女孩们的
Yeah that's bunk bed bitches
就像地滚球一样 (一垒俚语指亲热,而在棒球中地滚球是指击打后在地上滚,这种球很难上一垒)
I've done lived more than an eighty year old man still kickin'
我现在统治我的城市(底特律)就像我在市政厅办公
Cause they live for some moments, and I live for a livin'
他们都祈祷我会落败,才思枯竭,不过
But this for the girls that barely let me get to first base
等待你的是一场五月天气般的倾盆大雨(三关:一层是下雨本意,一层是make it rain把钱洒在那些曾经瞧不起他的女人身上,还有一层是rain谐音reign,may weather=拳击手maywea
On some ground ball shit
G.O.O.D 音乐,kanye west的气候到来了 (G.O.O.D是sean的厂牌,kanye是老板)
Cause now I run my city on some town hall shit
连香槟都比原来更好喝了
They prayin' on my motherfuckin' downfall bitch like a drought but
他们告诉我,我永远都成功不了,我告诉他们永远不要说永远
You gon' get this rain like it's May weather
发誓flow像是婴儿第一步一样特殊
G.O.O.D. Music, Ye weather
我赚钱逆转了我的债务
Champagne just tastes better
我也终于找到了我的女孩逆转了原来的压力
They told me I never boy, never say never
所以现在我要跟死神说让他逆转死亡
Swear flow special like an infant's first steps
这样我就可以和我爷爷一起,带他兜兜风
I got paid to reverse debts
给他展示我终于做到了些什么,并不是试试就算了
Then I finally found a girl that reverse stress
让他看看我的新家,让他在里面环游一番 (突出房子确实很大)
So now I'm talkin' to the reaper to reverse death
无论我有多领先,我总是觉得我还在落后
So I can kick it with my granddad, take him for a ride
不过去他妈的试试而不去做
Show him I made somethin' out myself and not just tried
因为不去做不是一个男人做的事
Show him the house I bought the fam, let him tour inside
我说去他妈的试试而不做
No matter how far ahead I get, I always feel behind
因为什么都不做可不是男人会去做的事
In my mind, but fuck tryin' and not doin'
我听着eminem,biggie,2pac的歌长大,之后完全不能自已
Cause not doin' is somethin' a nigga not doin'
所以直到我搞到big在juicy mv里面那个别墅之前
I said fuck tryin' and not doin'
婊子们,我是不会停下我的脚步的
Cause not doin' is somethin' a nigga not doin'
和我作对,你只会输个不停
I grew up to Em, B.I.G., and Pac bitch, and got ruined
我来自的城市每个月在家都有求救
So until I got the same crib B.I.G. had in that Juicy vid
打光子弹 (wordplay,may-day又指求救信号)
I can't motherfuckin' stop movin'
Ak的子弹洒在人们身上像是洒古龙水一样平常,无非是一些账单,借钱的事情
Go against me, you won't stop losin'
是的,我知道这不公平
From the city where every month is May-
他们说底特律根本没有机会,我说我们连市长都没有
Day at home, spray your dome
你用记号笔记下你的名字,我的名字已经刻在石头上 (意为sean会比他们影响更深远)
Niggas get sprayed up like AK was cologne for a paycheck or loan
我知道这世界我马上就能予取予求,而且不会太久
Yeah I know that shit ain't fair
游戏开始,超过所有那些称自己已经好过所有人的人
They say that Detroit ain't got a chance, we ain't even got a mayor
代表底特律的所有人,底特律对抗剩下所有人
You write your name with a Sharpie, I write mine in stone
我是如此一流,我可以跟每个飞行员交谈 (first class双关:头等舱)
I knew that the world was for the taking and it wouldn't take long
底特律就是我的大都会,感觉到了吗,是新老交替的时候了 (把底特律比作大都会,其实就是把自己比作超人)
We on, tryna be better than everybody that's better than everybody
我已经厌烦了那些人说自己是最火的
Rep Detroit, everybody, Detroit versus everybody
然后就跑去和真正最火的人合作来保持热度
I'm so fuckin' first class I could spit up on every pilot
我就是最火的之一,只是因为我的词够燥
The city's my Metropolis, feel it, it's metabolic
不是因为我在这点名
And I'm over niggas sayin' they're the hottest niggas
只因为“Hall of Fame”发售 (big sean 新专)
Then run to the hottest niggas just to stay hot
我不会随便说那些老炮的坏话 (OG=original gangsta)
I'm one of the hottest because I flame drop
因为那不是一个老炮的做法
Drop fire, and not because I'm name droppin'
所以我要去赚更多的钱 (这句中拆开G-O和用G代表钱都是呼应上句OG)
Hall of Fame droppin'
从未改变,我只是翻新的过去的自己
And I ain't takin' shit from nobody unless they're OG's
永远火爆,永不失去进取心 (cold feet指失去贪欲,不敢争取的状态)
Cause that ain't the way of an OG
在这场游戏中继续向上,不再回头看自己的老位置
So I GO collect more G's, every dollar
我的帮派阵容深厚占领了整个街道 (双关“Clique”这首歌席卷了整个市场)
Never changed though, I'm just the new version of old me
我需要一个女人能让我一周乐不思蜀,大佬sean(双关sean done sean搞定了,指这段verse结束)
Forever hot headed but never got cold feet
每个人都不愿意解释他们真正在想的是什么
Got up in the game won't look back at my old seats
对那些别名外星人的人而且想要回应的人报以恶魔的微笑 (别名,外星人两个一起用只是为了押韵,共同特点是都是虚假的,不存在的。意指fake rapper)
Clique so deep we take up the whole street
传播邪恶,等你老了你会发现 (peddling sin一般指贩毒,老了之后都会死亡或者转让自己的生意)
I need a bitch so bad that she take up my whole week, Sean Don
我不会屈服或者死去 (双关自己的rap生涯也不会随时间消失)
Miscellaneous minds are never explainin' their minds
我不吸毒,傻逼,我是贩毒的
Devilish grin for my alias aliens to respond
所有我rap的东西都像可卡因一样让你的大脑high翻 (quarter piece=7克可卡因)
Peddlin' sin, thinkin' maybe when you get old you realize
所以如果你要是毒瘾犯了,只要放松把我的专辑弹入光驱(连续用了三个pop分别表示不同的意思,光盘弹入,嗑药,开枪)
I'm not gonna fold or demise
你要敢让我嗑什么小药片,我就一枪崩了你然后给你这一段歌词 (k.Dot是强烈反对嗑药的,这里不仅仅指嗑药,还指的是kendrick对现在所谓hip-hop的“主流文化”的不屑)
(I don't smoke crack, motherfucker I sell it!)
告诉flex把那个炸弹爆炸声放出来 (funkmaster flex在电台上首次播放一些歌曲时会放一些炸弹爆炸声作为其标志)
Bitch, everything I rap is a quarter piece to your melon
炸弹要多到,警铃响起来像是越南战争又来了
So if you have a relapse, just relax and pop in my disc
炸弹要多到,让Farrakhan以为萨达姆在这里面(这个人是个伊斯兰国家的人权主义者,多次会面萨达姆)
Don't pop me no fucking pill, I'mma a pop you and give you this
一次一个,让这些虚伪的rapper在他们妈妈面前排队站好
Tell Flex to drop a bomb on this shit
在他们妈妈面前把他们揭穿他们真正是什么样子的
So many bombs, ring the alarm like Vietnam in this shit
只要还有人买我的歌,我就处在毁灭模式
So many bombs, make Farrakhan think Saddam in this bitch
我就像教皇一样重要,我是一个吃猪肉的穆斯林
One at a time, I line 'em up and bomb on they mom
我是pac的子孙,我是纽约之王 (所以真正听了这首歌的人应该知道,后面这句实际上是指big,对应前半句的pac。单独拿出来这句话是断章取义的,这句词实际上讲的是kendrick要成为pac和big一样
While she watchin' the kids
海岸之王,我一只手掌握两岸
I'm in a destruction mode if the gold exists
主宰你的命运,别当我开玩笑 (jegular指的是脑子回血到心脏的血管,这里等同与生命)
I'm important like the pope, I'm a muslim on pork
生活在地下室,只有教堂长凳和一张丧气脸 (实际上是讲kendrick仍旧属于underground)
I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the king of New York
我所有的女性朋友都有卡地亚手镯,我在拉斯维加斯
King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both
你们还以为会怎么样?(双关你们以为会是谁? 引用自espn一个记者的话,原句是回答下一个篮球传奇会是谁,这句话其实是回答“下一个hip-hop传奇会是谁?”这个问题)
The juggernaut's all in your jugular, you take me for jokes
即使是菲尔杰克逊回来了也教不了我 (因为上一句引用的答案是科比,引出这句菲尔杰克逊也教不了他)
Live in the basement, church pews and funeral faces
我无法被调教,我不会社交
Cartier bracelets for my women friends I'm in Vegas
去你妈的夜店,去你妈的这些照片,这些instagram去他妈的
Who the fuck y'all thought it's supposed to be?
让他们吃老二吃到打嗝,我的好兄弟kurupt (前半句最早出自kurupt的歌词)
If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin' me
这就是把rap圈搅成一团的flow
I'm uncoachable, I'm unsociable
我看到一些哥们变得快得像变形金刚
Fuck y'all cubs, fuck y'all pictures, your Instagram can gobble these nuts
这些白粉让这些人很可能去干林赛罗韩 (lindsy的父亲曾指责kendrick,molly还谐音miley,指miley cyrus)
Gobble dick up 'til you hiccup, my big homie Kurupt
一帮白人富家女到处找派对
This the same flow that put the rap game on a crutch
天天就像在玩芭比娃娃,在你给她们钥匙前就把保时捷弄坏了
I've seen niggas transform like villain Decepticons
现在还怀疑这个独裁的到来吗,祝福保罗麦卡特尼
Mollies'll prolly turn these niggas to fuckin' Lindsay Lohan
你说我是黑人甲壳虫,我也许是或者是bob marley更好
A bunch of rich ass white girls lookin' for parties
我不吸毒,傻逼,我贩毒
Playin with Barbies, wreck the Porsche before you give 'em the car key
我全身都是黑衣,这可不是为了猫王粉丝
Judgement to the monarchy, blessings to Paul McCartney
我的直接目标是你的骨盆,你根本承受不住我 (如果人不能消化,食物会从肛门其实就是“骨盆位置”排出)
You called me a black Beatle, I'm either that or a Marley
你想要杀我?在你用枪指着我之前我早就跳开
(I don't smoke crack motherfucker I sell it)
用一把枪指着你了,我是肖恩康奈利 (007扮演者,经常上演夺枪反杀)
I'm dressed in all black, this is not for the fan of Elvis
不再和你们这些人有交情,继续努力拿下我的一亿美金。 (james bond双关上一句,bonding with双关这一句
I'm aimin' straight for your pelvis, you can't stomach me
即使你在我面前当着我也阻止不了我
You plan on stumpin' me? Bitch I've been jumped before you put a gun on me
而且如果你挡着我,你最好也快给我滚
Bitch I put one on yours, I'm Sean Connery
我听到坊间都一直在讨论
James Bonding with none of you niggas, climbing 100 mil in front of me
谁是最好的mc?kendrick,jay和nas
And I'm gonna get it even if you're in the way
Eminem,andre 3000,剩下的这些
And if you're in it, better run for Pete's sake
新人就是新人,根本算不上
I heard the barbershops spittin' great debates all the time
我从不搞什么设计的玩意
Bout who's the best MC? Kendrick, Jigga and Nas
白色t恤和nike cortez,这辆红色雪弗兰级就够了
Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y'all
我平时就是一起玩说唱的普通人
New niggas just new niggas, don't get involved
但是这是hiop-hop,那些人应该知道现在是什么时候了
And I ain't rockin no more designer shit
那就是J.Cole,Big KRIT,Wale
White T's and Nike Cortez, this is red Corvettes anonymous
Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky和 Drake
I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin' with
Big Sean, Jay Electron’, Tyler还有 Mac Miller
But this is hip hop and them niggas should know what time it is
我对你们都有敬意,但是我要杀了你们
And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale
让你们的粉丝再也不听你们的歌了
Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake
让他们一个词也不想听你们唱了
Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller
什么是竞争?我这是在提高门槛
I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you niggas
是谁想跳起来得到它?你最好试试高空速降
Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas
从5架G5飞机带着5000美金速降 (正反用5G,和第一段OG正反用呼应)
They dont wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas
你爷爷喝大了当的飞行员还在尝试迫降
What is competition? I'm tryna raise the bar high
他手上有关节炎,还有一个腿是假肢
Who tryna jump and get it? You better off tryna skydive
机舱放的全是pac的歌,所以他脑子里
Out the exit window of 5 G5's with 5 grand
全是暴力的方法,而且听空乘说
With your granddad as the pilot he drunk as fuck tryna land
你的降落伞就是一个安全套连根绳子 (暗喻别人来找他对抗就是找死)
With the hand full of arthritis and popping prosthetic leg
你可以在书上查到我的名字
Bumpin Pac in the cockpit so the shit that pops in his head
我像上帝一样创造了这些押韵,然后如下雨般狂写 (之后的歌词一直一神话故事的方式叙述)
Is an option of violence, someone heard the stewardess said
传奇记录了奶奶把我从卡特琳娜飓风时的屋顶上救下
That your parachute is a latex condom up to a dread
童话诉说了伟大国王来自
You could check my name on the books
全是木兰的角落,众多士兵的母亲 (木兰双关救济房,这里其实是说国王来自街头,又双关来自祖母的保佑)
I Earth, Wind, and Fire'd the verse, then rained on the hook
我们遵循她说的每一个字 (其实这个国王就是来自街头的经验)
The legend of Dorothy Flowers proclaimed from the roof
注意你的肩膀
The tale of magnificent king who came from the nooks
并在天气转冷的时候保存过冬的豆子 (赚钱度过困难的日子)
Of the wild magnolia, mother of many soldiers
上帝是我们的导师,我们心中充满希望
We live by every single word she ever told us
把你的全身心交给主,不过管好你的座驾 (引用自穆罕穆德“信任真主,但是管好你的骆驼”)
Watch over your shoulders
我用这句词结束这场游戏 (既指这首歌他是最后一段verse,又指他要结束这rap game)
And keep a tin of beans for when the weather turns the coldest
上帝就是我的证人,你可去找jay-z证实 (jehova耶和华就是jay hova这个名字的来历,把jay比作上帝)
The Lord is our shepherd, so our cup runneth over
警告你们所有这些耍蛇的魔术师 (双关那些评论家小心反毒了自己)
Put your trust in the Lord but tether your Chevy Nova
我安静得像石头,因为我从石头而来 (谐音iraq,一说古黑人发源地)
I'm spittin' this shit for closure
这就是为什么我生来就有这个范,然后签约了roc nation (两句4个rock,与上一段kendrick的pop很好呼应)
And God is my witness, so you could get it from Hova
在土上画一条线,写上名字声明这是我的地盘
For all you magicians that's fidgeting with the cobra
因为我为我得到的东西承受了太多的痛苦 (卡特琳娜飓风)
I'm silent as a rock, 'cause I came from a rock
当心在下雨的时候,睫毛像是雨伞一样 (借代手法,说了哭泣的样子)
That's why I came with a rock, then signed my name on the Roc
纸巾就像在黑暗中亲吻的你天使
Draw a line around some Earth, then put my name on the plot
你从无知到回头看看有所领悟,从愤怒
Cause I endured a lot of pain for everything that I got
到平静下来相信上帝,正确的观念需要时间 (passion of the christ引用自2004电影)
The eyelashes like umbrellas when it rains from the heart
Jay Electricity, 另一个未解之谜 (这个节目经常播未解之谜)
And the tissue is like an angel kissin you in the dark
在一个崇高的位置与自己的撒旦搏斗
You go from blind sight to hindsight, passion of the Christ
你无法反驳我 – 阿拉 (阿拉伯语中的上帝)
Right, to baskin' in the limelight, it take time to get your mind right
只有信仰才让我们走了如此之远
Jay Electricity, PBS mysteries
In a lofty place, tangling with Satan over history
You can't say shit to me - Alhamdulillah
It's strictly by faith that we made it this far
