歌词
Allow me to set the scene first
请允许我先设想这个场景
This little ***** no older than seventeen in a Martin Luther King shirt
这个不超过17岁的小孩子穿着马丁·路德·金的衬衫
Walkin' down the mean murk, where the fiends lurk
孤零零的走在黑暗中,那是恶魔潜伏的地方
And the same dirt’ll find a *****
在同样的脏乱中你会找到另一个黑孩子
Even if you tryna' get that clean work
即使你想得到一份清白的工作
He caught eyes with a bad ***** in a jean skirt
他和穿着牛仔裙的碧池引起了人们的流言蜚语,但他知道,那是他的母亲
She gave him a mean smirk, he smiled back
她狠狠的冲他的笑,他也笑了,并没有抱怨
He remembered this man that hit that s**t a while back
他记得那个人不久前打翻了饭碗
He met her, ****** her, never dialed back
他与她相遇,与她缠绵,之后就再也没有回信
How ****** do, he kept it movin', couldn’t wait to get home
他该怎么办,他不断前行,迫不及待地想回家
Report card for his mother couldn’t wait to get shown
从背后藏着的成绩单拿出向妈妈炫耀
Straight A’s as usual, his momma would smile
他妈妈对他笑了,就像往常一样
Youngest child, college bound
家里的最小辈,考上了大学
Knew his momma was proud
他知道他妈妈为他自豪
Cause he was headed out the hood
因为他是奔着学士帽去的
He promised himself one day he’d get her out for good
他保证他总有一天会出人头地带妈妈一起过上好日子
That made him smile
想到这些,他开心的笑了
The favorite child, but damn, fate is foul
最心爱的孩子,但该死,命运是不公的
Drive by, stray bullets that laid him out
开车经过,流弹飞来,血流成河,他死了
On the pavement fading out
在那逐渐模糊的人行道上
Now he bleeding thinking, God, man, you couldn’t wait a while
血流不止,他在想,天哪,伙计,你等不及了
My momma struggling who gon save her now, huh?
母亲苦命半生,我走了,那谁来救她?
Now he fading out thinking God, you couldn’t wait a while?
他双手举起祈求上帝,祈求再给他一点时间
My momma need me, who gon' save her now, *****? uh
我妈妈需要我,我走了,那谁来救她?
Yeah, he’s fading out, the favorite child
是啊,他渐渐地闭上了眼,最心爱的孩子
He’s fading out (the favorite child)
他渐渐地死去了(最心疼的孩子)
