歌词
They killed my little bro Thomas yesterday
他们昨天毙了我的伙计托马斯
And when you colored you don't really look to the law to investigate
当你作为有色人种 就你会明白 法律只是一纸空文不必正眼看
You just get the drop slide on the ops and replicate the same cycle
你只是在ops经受低谷 日复一日地生活
Now you made rivals
如今你却不经意间处处树敌
And you wonder why we remain spiteful
你想知道我们为何对总对生活报以最大的恶意
I'mma tell you how the government truly put us in this position
那我告诉你 zheng府究竟置我们于何地
They only give assistance under one condition
他们只会在一种情况下施以援手
You gotta make sure that the daddy is missing
你要确认爸爸是不是走丢了
They lower commissions raise up the rent and then handle evictions
他们不断降低佣金的同时提高租金 最后将我们彻底驱逐
Soon as they put drugs in the hood they took away the love in the hood
从他们把粉扔到我们这儿的那一刻 爱也被掠夺
You see it's bad enough when we see cops that gotta frisk and smoke
你们觉得“这已经够糟了”，殊不知条子还会叼着烟无情地搜捕
But then we hear stupid shit like you know black people kill each other the most
反而不久后“黑人乐于自相残杀”的流言层出不穷
As if it ain't human nature to kill or attack whatever is close
仿佛屠杀与袭击靠近者不是人类天性
Whatever comes with a negative approach it's another way to put a rope on our throats
任何来者不善皆为以绳锁喉
It's amazed that we lost in think about what we got tossed in
我们竟迷失在思索“我们究竟被丢弃在何处”这个问题的怪圈
A prisoner couldn't kill a king and lions don't murder dolphins
狱囚永远不可能弑君 就像狮子永远杀不了海豚
You can't kill who you don't see
你没有机会杀死你见不到的人
In other words forcing us in the ghetto was part of plot to put us against
换句话说 在贫民窟的压迫只是诱导我们自相残杀的众多把戏之一
Each other until we rot but we all that we got
直到我们腐烂在泥土之中
They threw us in the slums and took our dreams
他们把我们扔进贫民窟 夺走我们的梦想
Replaced them with a gun it's all a scheme
把他们换成一把手枪 一切都是一个阴谋
Then locked us in a box I hear your screams
把我们锁在密不透风的箱子 我能听到尖叫与呐喊
Caged bird I gotta let you sing
笼中鸟 唱吧
Caged bird I gotta let you
即使竭尽所能
Caged bird I gotta let you sing
我也会让你一吐为快
Caged bird I gotta let you
笼中鸟 唱吧
Caged bird I gotta let you sing
为自由而发声
Flew away and got my dreams had to find my peace
飞翔至天际 承载着我的梦想 为我寻找一方静谧
Moving cautious everywhere soldiers are falling like the leaves
飞到任何地方都要小心谨慎 士兵像树叶一般飘落
Block is calling forcing my movements to be all I can be
这条街正在呼唤 操控我的一举一动 去做我自己
I meditate it's crazy I'm recently learning how to breath
我觉得这很荒唐 我最近甚至还在学习如何在这世间呼吸
Tension always building we pensive they just be by my complexion
不安与思索皆来源于我的肤色
I own my shit I don't rent it
我所拥有的一切 都不是借的
I tell them talk to me nice
我告诉他们 对我说话客气点
**** that talk to us nice
不 是对我们客气点
They beat us over our backs
他们重击我们的脊背
But we still walking upright
但我们仍旧挺直腰板前行
And now it's time to fly away now
如今 是时候放飞自我了
They threw us in the slums and took our dreams
他们把我们扔进贫民窟 夺走我们的梦想
Replaced them with a gun it's all a scheme
把它们换成一把枪 一切皆是一个阴谋罢了
Then locked us in a box I hear your screams
将我们囚于牢笼 尖叫声耳边回荡
Caged bird I gotta let you sing
笼中鸟 放声歌唱吧
Caged bird I gotta let you
即使竭尽所能
Caged bird I gotta let you sing
我也会让你一吐为快
Caged bird I gotta let you
笼中鸟 唱吧
Caged bird I gotta let you sing
为自由而发声
