Well I've been around a long time

I really have paid my dues
尝尽世间苦楚
When I first got the blues
初尝这蓝调滋味时
They brought me over on a ship
他们用船将我运来
Men were standing over me
众人居高临下将我围困
And a lot more with a whip
鞭影重重抽打在我身
And everybody wanna know

I've laid in a ghetto flat
蜷缩在贫民窟的陋室
Cold and numb
寒意刺骨 麻木不仁
I heard the rats tell the bedbugs

To give the roaches some

Gonna grow up to be a fool
