- I got a story for you all
我有個故事需要你們傾聽 Yeah~ 是的 Listen! 聽好了 I grew up, a **** in' screw up 從小到大,我丫的就是個悲劇 Tie my shoe up, wish they was newer 係緊我的鞋帶,要是它能再新點就好了 Damn, need somethin' newer ,我只是不想再用別人用剩的東西 In love with the baddest girl in the city, 我愛上了個女孩,她在人群中是如此耀眼 I wish I knew her 我多想試著去讀懂她 I wish I weren't so shy, 後悔當初不該那麼害羞 I wish I was a bit more fly 要是那時我能長成她喜歡的樣子結局或許會有所不同 I wish that I, 如果有一天 could tell her how I really feel inside 她真的能走進我的心裡,她就會明白 That I'm the perfect nigga for her, 其實我才是她的那個真命天子 but then maybe that's a lie 雖然我也知道這只是自欺欺人 She like a certain type of nigga, 她早已心有所屬 and it's clear I'm not that guy 我卻不是她那個朝思暮想的人 Ball player, star player, 她喜歡會打球的男生,校隊首發的那種 I'm just watchin' from the side 而我就算拼盡全力頂多也只能混個冷板凳 On the bench, 坐在一旁 cause my lack of confidence won't let me fly 因為我那可笑的自尊心禁錮了振翅高飛的羽翼 I ain't grow up with my father, 我成長過程中沒有父親的陪伴 I ain't thinkin' bout that now 我早已接受了這事實 Fast forward four years or so from now I'll probably cry 四年之後的我萬萬想不到再回想起成功路上的這些坎坷 When I realize what I missed, 還是會默默哭泣(J.Cole四年後發布了首張Mixtape) but as of now my eyes are dry 而現在的我卻早已心如死灰流乾了眼淚 Cause I'm tryna stay alive 大城市中我苟延殘喘 In the city where too many niggas die 多少人只是想得以謀生卻賠上性命 Dream in quiet tryna dodge a suit and tie 還幻想著有天能過上卸下西裝革履約束的生活 Who am I? 那時的我到底算什麼? Aye who am I? (Yeah) 算什麼? Things change, rearrange, or so do I 世事變化,三十年河東,有一天也能輪到我嗎? It ain't always for the better dawg, I can't lie 醒醒!兄弟,好事不一定能輪到每個人頭上 I get high cause the lows can be so cold 我掙扎向上,而誰又說過只有高出不勝寒? I might bend a little bit but I don't fold 現實或許會將我的棱角磨平,但我堅信自己初心不改 One time for my mind and two for yours Nas曾說過:每個人都應該有屬於自己的想法,願你我共勉 I got food for your thoughts to sooth your soul 這一帖慰藉心靈的良藥給你 If you see my tears fall just let me be.. 如果你看到我胸口酸楚,淚打衣裳 Move along, nothing to see 請繼續溫柔前行,一往無前 I always did shit the hard way, 人生的十字路口,我總是選擇更困難的那條走 my niggas slangin' in the hallway 我的兄弟們在走廊裡說著行話 Burnt CD's and trees like this was Broadway 販賣自己刻的CD和植物,好像自己身處百老匯 Times Square, 亦或是在時代廣場 kept the dimes there in the locker 把賺的小錢鎖在箱子裡 Some Reggie Miller 賣的都是些劣質的 With more brown hairs than Chewbaca 它們身上的棕毛比電影裡的Chewbaca還要濃密 Whispers that he got it for the low low sell a 小聲炫耀著自己得了小便宜 Dime for a dub, them white boys ain't know no better 10塊賣20塊坑了個不懂行的白人憨憨 Besides, what's twenty dollars to a nigga like that? 還有,你知道20美元對於一個黑人孩子來說意味著什麼嗎 He tell his pops he need some lunch and he gon' get it right back 他必須騙他父親說自己中午想吃頓好的才能得到 I peep game, 我把一切看在眼裡 got home snatched my mama keychain 偷偷拿走了母親的車鑰匙 Took her whip, 開走了她那台小破車 the appeal, to ill to refrain 除了喇叭不響其他都響的那種 I hit the boulevard pull up to my nigga front door 我開著它在大街上兜風,把車停在了我哥們家門口 His mama at home, 她媽媽在家 she still let em' hit the blunt though 竟然還能肆無忌憚地呼植物 I told her hello and sat with my nigga and laughed 我打了招呼,然後和兄弟們坐在一起談笑風生 And talked about how we gon' smash all the bitches in class 聊著我們要如何捉弄班上的女同學 I complimentedhow I see him out here getting his cash, 我奉承著他生財有道 and just asked 然後問道 'What a nigga gotta do to get that?! 我要怎麼做才能像你一樣賺到錢 Put me on' 下次算我一個唄 He just laughed when he seen I was sure 他看我一臉認真的樣子笑出了聲 17 Years breathing his demeanor said more 當時17歲的他的形像在我心目中如此高大 He told me, 他對我說 'Nigga you know how you sound right now? 兄弟,你知道自現在有多可笑嗎? You won't my mans, I would think that you a clown right now.' 我沒有你這樣的兄弟,你現在看起來就像是一個小丑 listen! 你給我聽好了 'You everything I wanna be that's why I ****s with you 那你也給我聽好了:“從小到大你一直是我的偶像,所以我才一直跟著你鬼混 So how you looking up to me, when I look up to you?' 當我抬頭仰望你的時候你怎麼還羨慕起我來了? 'You bout to go get a degree, I'm bout to be stuck with two choices: 他說:“你馬上就要拿到你的學位了,而我呢? Either graduate to weight or sell a number two 畢業後只能被迫走上歧途 For what? A hundred bucks or two a week? 你還問我為了什麼?不就是一星期能掙個一兩百塊錢嗎? Do you think that you would know what to do if you was me? 如果角色互換,你知道我會怎麼做嗎? I got, four brothers, one mother that don't love us 我有四個兄弟姐妹和一個根本不愛我們的母親 If they ain't never want us why the *** * they never wore rubbers?' 如果他們嫌我們是個累贅又何必當初 I felt ashamed to have ever complained about my lack of gear 我為自己從前總抱怨自己缺乏前進動力而感到羞愧 And thought about how far we done came 回想一路走來所發生的一切 From trailer park to a front yard with trees in the sky 從住在拖車裡到現在面朝大海,春暖花開 Thank you mama dry your eyes, there ain't no reason to cry 謝謝你媽媽,擦乾眼淚,我們再也不用為生活奔波勞碌 You made a genius and I , 是你給了我天賦 ain't gon' take it for granted 我不會理所當然 I ain't gon' settle for lesser, 不會安於現狀 I ain't gon' take what they handed 更不會接受別人的施捨 Nah I'm gon' take what they owe me and show you that I can fly 現在我要拿回曾經屬於我的一切,向你證明總有一天我會出人頭地 And show ol' girl what she missing 告訴那個曾深愛的她錯過了我 The illest nigga alive 從前那個瘦骨嶙峋的少年現在活生生站在她面前,功成名就 Aye who am I? 可現在的我又算什麼呢? Things change, rearrange, or so do I, (Aye who am I?) 時過境遷,皺紋悄現眼角處 It ain't always for the better dawg, I can't lie (Aye who am I?) 世事無常,看似輝煌難言痛 I get high cause the lows can be so cold 世態炎涼,人們說低處心易寒 I might bend a little bit but I don't fold 事與願違,卑躬屈膝也只為個成王敗寇 One time for my mind and two for yours 只願你,心之所向,心有所屬 I got food for your thoughts to sooth your soul 食我所言,也能不悔夢歸處 If you see my tears fall just let me be 若見我胸口酸楚,淚打衣裳 Move along, nothing to see 請給我溫柔雙目
