- J. Cole Immortal 歌詞
- J. Cole
- Ohhhh
在我不滿17歲的時候
Now I was barely seventeen
曾經滿懷希望
with a pocket full of hope
儘管當時家裡一貧如洗
Screamin' dollar and a dream
卻還大嚷著要賺大錢
with my closet lookin' broke
我哥們儿看起來一本正經
And my nigga's lookin' clean
卻在販毒的時候條子抓了個正著
gettin' caught up with that dope
你經歷過
Have you ever served a fiend
一切希望落空的夢魘麼？
with a pocket full of soap
小子讓我來告訴你
Nigga I can tell you things
一些你本不該知道的事吧
that you probably shouldn't know
你是否曾聽過那些
Have you ever heard the screams
你聽過兇殺現場撕心裂肺的尖叫嗎？
when the body hit the floor
這份痛苦讓你無數次帶著冷汗從夢中驚醒
Flashbacks to the pain wakin' up cold sweats
只能一大早就得健身來發洩
Six o'clock in the mornin' gotta hit the BoFlex
在道上混可不能是弱雞
Get my weight up on the block
在道上混可不能是弱雞時時刻刻得提防著條子
keep watch for the cops
那些天殺的條子就愛拷上黑人再開三槍
God they love to serve a nigga three hots and a cot
現如今犯罪掙的錢還不如臨時兼職多
Nowadays crime pays like a part time job
窮困潦倒的日子裡我只能祈禱就像卡爾托馬斯在歌裡唱的那樣（Carl Thomas是90年代的R&B歌手）
And the drought got me prayin' for a car time vibe
及時雨快來吧（summer rain是Thomas一首歌的歌名）
Summer Rain come again numb the pain
洗去我作為罪人的痛苦
'cause it's hard for a felon
我明知販毒是條無盡的深淵
In my mind I been cryin' know it's wrong
卻依然掙扎著陷了進去
but I'm sellin'
拭去眼淚
Eyes wellin' up with tears thinkin'
每當想起我那九泉之下的兄弟
'bout my niggas dead in the dirt
他永遠印在我的T恤上
Immortalized on this shirt
兄弟永垂不朽
Real niggas don't die
延續傳奇
Form with the plot
17: 45（可能是死亡時間）
One-Seven-Forty-Five
你的故事繼續

兄弟你精神永存
Real niggas don't die
成為道上的信條
Form onthe plot
兄弟之間永不背棄
Hood niggas don't lie
傳奇繼續

你是道上的精神支柱
Form on the plot
兄弟永垂不朽
Real niggas don't die
兄弟永垂不朽
Real niggas don't die
你見過被海羅銀（和諧）侵蝕頭腦的人嗎？
Have you ever seen a fiend cook crack on the spoon
你見過毒癮發作變得像狼人一樣狂暴的人嗎？
Have you ever seen a nigga that was black on the moon
當你的兄弟進監獄
Have you ever seen your brother go to prison
你看過自己哭泣的樣子嗎？
as you cried
你他媽見過天上色彩斑斕的彩虹嗎？
Have you ever seen a motherfuckin' ribbon in the sky
都沒有！老子眼裡只有綠色的百元大鈔
Nope all I see is that C.R.E.A.M nigga that green
老子就是坐擁美人的王者
I'm a black king black jeans on my black queen
我馬子的美臀大到大屏電視都裝不下
And her ass fat too fat for a flat screen
老子就是毒品王國的國王
I'm the type of nigga make the whole fuckin' trap lean
老子的毒品有翅膀
Kingpin nigga put wings on a crack fiend
想抓老子
If they want a nigga
得派海軍陸戰隊來
they gon' have to send a SWAT team
但老子依舊像《疤面煞星》裡最後一幕那樣逃出生天
And I'm goin' out like Scarface in his last scene
知道啥叫傳奇人物了嗎？
A legend what that mean
兄弟永垂不朽
Real niggas don't die
延續傳奇

Form on the plot
兄弟永垂不朽
Real niggas don't die
兄弟永垂不朽
Real niggas don't die
要當一秒鍾英雄
To die a young legend
還是要抱憾終身你自己選
or live a long life unfulfilled
你想改變世界
'Cause you wanna change the world
但你活著的話是永遠不可能的
but while alive you never will
我聽說
'Cause they only feel you after you gone
人們只有在你死了才能關注到你
or I've been told
現在聲名大噪和安然終兩種思想老在我腦海裡盤旋
And now I'm caught between bein' heard and gettin' old
該死有時候我真想一死了之
Damn death creepin' in my thoughts lately
要我死的話我只有一個願望
My one wish in this bitch make it quick
“媽的下手痛快點”
if the Lord take me
我知道誰都不會永世長存
I know nobody meant to live forever anyway
所以我也像家鄉的人一樣努力奮鬥著（Virgini-A應該是北卡的一個地名Cole是北卡人）
And so I hustle like my niggas in Virgini-A
黑人們總是口口相傳：
They tellin' niggas sell dope rap or go to NBA
“只有販毒或者去NBA打球才能功成名就”
In that order
正是這種觀念禁錮了黑人的思想
It's that sort of thinkin' that been keepin' niggas chained
令他們不得不身陷社會底層
at the bottom and hanged
你們從來沒見過的那顆成功果實是飽含痛苦的
The strangest fruit that you ever seen ripe with pain
聽好了……
