讓你失望--J.Cole
Let （0,171）Nas Down - J Cole
自由還是禁錮往往只在一念之間
Freedom or jail, clips inserted
一個寶貝的新生的同時會有人因為被謀殺從此消失不見
A babys bein born same time a man is murdered
“周而復始”這個主題在說唱裡屢見不鮮
The beginning and end, so far as rap goes
最自然的流露我得以坐穩一線
only Its natural, I explain my plateau
最重要的還是能讓“我”之定義最佳上演
And also what defines my name
耶，你(Nas)一直是我的偶像
希望你永遠世界最強
Yeah, long live the idols
都說2Pac和耶穌最像
may they never be your rivals
那麼會有誰懂得你撰寫聖經時的憂傷
Pac was like Jesus
即將登場
Nas wrote the Bible
是一篇衡量罪惡與榮耀的文章
Now what youre bout to
對了我的導師名為'No I.D.'，故事送上
hears a tale of glory and sin
記得很小的時候就開始聽你的歌然後把你的歌詞抄在牆上
No I.D. my mentor now let the story begin
我的伙伴們都笑我一個文字遊戲便放在心上
他們不知道那是我童年所能看到最美好的景象
I used to print out Nas raps and tape em up on my wall
懂事後便有了成為歌手的夢想
My niggas thought they was words
時常望著牆上發誓將來一定要像你一樣
but it was pictures I saw
還記得你發行'Stillmatic“那一張
And since I wanted to draw
掀開了說唱歷史的偉大一章
I used to read em in awe
歲月如梭誰曾想
Then he dropped Stillmatic
若干年後你會出現在我的巡演現場
rocked the cleanest Velour
那時的我事業剛剛開始蒸蒸日上
Fast forward, who thought
家裡成為了阿迪達斯的殿堂
that I would meet him on tour?
表演結束後我激動地緊緊握住你的手
Im earnin stripes now nigga
始終不敢相信一直不肯鬆手
got Adidas galore
你卻笑著說你成為我的粉絲已經很久
我的天吶感覺我的魂魄在四處遊走
Backstage I shook his hand
之後有段時間一直在為首專發愁
let him know that hes the man
這種困境前所未有
When he said he was a fan
Jay-Z也在不停地催促我準備好了沒有
it was to hard to understand
他說他的電台可以讓我大展身手
No time to soak up the moment though
數月後我成功發行了我的首張專輯
cause I was in a jam
心裡卻像九局下半時的焦急
Hov askin wheres the record
似乎就是德里克.傑特完成一次本壘打之前的壓力
that the radio could play
但好在我順利完成了職業生涯最重要的一擊
And I was strikin out for months
然而我並未想到
9th inning feeling fear
也根本不會料到
Jeter under pressure
迪昂給我打了電話我才知道
made the biggest hit of my career
說來悲傷但是從此我不會在驕傲
But at first, that wasnt clear
迪昂告訴我你聽了我的主打歌'Work Out'
niggas had no idea
你很不喜歡然後罵這首歌是傻屌
Dion called me when it dropped
還說沒想到我怎麼會製作的這麼傻屌
sounded sad but sincere
我不敢相信我會讓你失望
Told me Nas heard
我去，感覺瞬間我的心壓在了胃之上
your single and he hate that shit
還是不敢相信我會讓你失望
Said you the one, yo why you make that shit?
電話這頭我早已火冒三丈
I cant believe I let Nas down
憤怒的我甚至帶著哭腔，我真他媽的爛泥扶不上牆
耶，你(Nas)一直是我的偶像
Damn, my heart sunk to my stomach
希望你永遠世界最強
I cant believe I let Nas down
都說2Pac和耶穌最像
那麼會有誰懂得你撰寫聖經時的憂傷
I got defensive on the phone
即將登場
resentment was in my tone, fuck it
是一篇衡量罪惡與榮耀的文章
對了我的導師名為'No I.D.'，故事送上
Yeah, long live the idols
思緒平定後我想了好多
may they never be your rivals
也許你說的是對的是我的錯
Pac was like Jesus
我猜你一定是想到了”You Owe Me'那次創作
Nas wrote the Bible
因為那是你為數不多的失敗之作
Now what youre bout to
所以即便“Work Out'首周打榜不錯
hears a tale of glory and sin
你卻不屑地說
No I.D. my mentor now let the story begin
這樣的歌真心令人作嘔
I couldnt help but think
其實一開始我也很不爽
that maybe I had made a mistake
腦子裡一直惡補著和自己的偶像beef一場會怎樣
I mean, you made 'You Owe Me' dog
那麼我的第一句話是這樣
I thought that you could relate
你當年甚至都沒打榜
But while I shot up the charts
你這樣說我是想怎樣
you mean tellin me
再來說說你的心傷
That I was not up to par
Jay-Z一直把你的專輯視如臭翔
when I followed my heart
你也曉得為什麼會這樣
Granted, my heart was tainted by my mind
可是一想到如今的音樂市場我便不再胡思亂想
I kept on sayin
這些唱片公司心裡只有銷量
Wheres the hits?
他們迷失了方向
You aint got none
他們就只會打榜
You know Jay would never
我呢一心顧著表演
put your album out without none
卻忽視了歌迷們正在隨著他們在改變
And dog, you know how come
現在我才發現
Labels are archaic
我們的音樂已經很難回到從前
formulaic with their outcomes
想要改變？
They dont know
那就他媽的撕掉這些虛偽的標籤
they just study the charts
還有盡量少去綜藝節目去表演
Me, I study the shows
你要記住喜歡去那裡的人都是二線
the fans, study their hearts
所以真相在慢慢浮現
I had a feelin I was killin
你說的話全部得到了實現
and this music we were spillin out
可是他們依舊執迷不悟我任重道遠
Would change lives forever
但願他們不要喪心病狂
fuck the label, put it out
古奇總是要我成為嘻哈之王
Friday Night Lights blew
修改嘻哈法則可是如今半路上
that was classic number 2
我卻讓你失望，只能記在自己頭上
Now it seemed as if
因為我真的無比羞愧會讓你失望
the Nas comparisons was comin true
這也許是冥冥之中，後悔永遠別想
Still no release date from the label
無比的懊惱，我真他媽的爛泥扶不上牆
are they insane?
耶，你(Nas)一直是我的偶像
Gooch told me play the game
希望你永遠世界最強
to change the game but on the way
都說2Pac和耶穌最像
I let Nas down, I got noone to blame
那麼會有誰懂得你撰寫聖經時的憂傷
Im ashamed I let Nas down
即將登場
是一篇衡量罪惡與榮耀的文章
But this is God's plan
對了我的導師名為'No I.D.'，故事送上
you could never understand, fuck it
現在我有一個很棒的想法要給你們說
Yeah , long live the idols
如果我能讓這些拜金狗
may they never be your rivals
來聽聽哥的獨家講座
Pac was like Jesus
哥會開門見山從不囉嗦
Nas wrote the Bible
最重要的誠實待人，哥會教他們如何做
Now what youre bout to
沒有最多只有更多
hears a tale of glory and sin
你們都不想成為路人皆知的司馬昭吧？
No I.D. my mentor now let the story begin
那就爭取成為下一個Kendrick.Lamar
I always believed in the bigger picture
哪怕我是上帝之子，犯了罪也難逃被繩之以法
If I could get them niggas
我毫無辦法
to listen outside my core
和你們這些虛偽的傢伙共事還不如讓我跳樓自殺
then I can open a door
過去這十幾年不是哥瞎BB
Reintroduce em to honesty
一旦我有半點虛偽我保證此歌是我的絕筆
show em that they need more
畢竟我是發自內心裡
The difference between
為了我的發展做出了犧牲對不起了我的好兄弟OG
the pretenders and the Kendrick Lamars
但是此刻我有一個超好的動機
And so, I took the fall like the son of the Lord
我曉得做回原來的自己還來得及
On the cross
要做到心中將所有愛我的人深深牢記
dyin for that fake shit you niggas bought
不能高高在上要學會平坐平起
For the past decade
這些真的不太容易
if I should pass please let this be my last essay
就像遊戲裡我正在和惡魔練級
Therefore I write from the heart
母親請別為我哭泣
Apologies to OGs for sacrificin my art
自己選擇的人生就要硬闖到底
But Im here for a greater purpose
漫漫長路不能大意
I knew right from the start
更不能迷失了自己
Im just a man of the people
有些人到現在還在質疑
not above but equal
說什麼嘻哈已死，真他媽的歇斯底里
And for the greater good
現在我就下地獄去救出嘻哈，看好了你
I walk amongst the evil
以後再敢出言不遜，小心哥廢了你
Dont cry mama
讓你失望
this the life I choose myself
電話依舊在手上
Just pray along the way
如同一條啞巴狗添了新傷
that I dont lose myself
讓你失望
This is for the nigga
耶，想開點也許經過這一仗
that said that hip-hop was dead
我再也不會失去方向，我不再他媽的爛泥扶不上牆
I went to Hell to resurrect it
耶，你(Nas)一直是我的偶像
how could you fail to respect it?
希望你永遠世界最強
Lettin Nas down
都說2Pac和耶穌最像
那麼會有誰懂得你撰寫聖經時的憂傷
I got the phone call
即將登場
quietly I mourned dog
是一篇衡量罪惡與榮耀的文章
I let Nas down
對了我的導師名為'No I.D.'，故事送上
Yeah, and on this flight
may I never lose sight, fuck it
Yeah, long live the idols
may they never be your rivals
Pac was like Jesus
Nas wrote the Bible
Now what youre bout to
hears a tale of glory and sin
No I.D. my mentor now let the story begin
