So Hard to Breathe - B.o.B

Since day 1 I said f-ck the fame and everything it dealt

自从说了去他的名声，一切却循序渐进着

But the fame is really here just to facilitate the wealth

但名利却真的降临让我腰缠万贯

But the wealth attracts you haters like you mosquitoes to a well

但我的财富招引来仇恨者,你们无法坦诚我的成就

And the waters getting deeper so I'm well set out to sail

水越陷越深,所以我必须扬帆远航

Someone called my cell and left a voicemail

某人打给我电话,语音信箱留言一封

That said congratulations on the million record sales

他们都在祝贺我的唱片销量过百万

As I'm flipping over furniture knocking sh-t off the shelf

而我正越过那些家具 踢开该死的隔板

I told myself I'll never get too deep not to take a breathe

我告诉自己永不潜的那么深以至于窒息

But I'm sinking

但我正沉沦着

And it's so hard to breathe yeah

是的 实在艰于呼吸

And even more so to sleep when no one cares

没人在乎你的时候,同样夜夜难寐

It was all I can eat

这些曾是我该需要的

But now I'm sinking

但现在我在沉沦

So deep I can't come up for air

沉的好深,我无法浮出换气

Yeah I've seen the valley of the shadow of death

是的,我曾经目睹过死亡七夕笼罩的阴脉之谷

I've seen the mountains the wild childhood

我曾一览众山 见证狂野的童年

Thats why I sing about it

这就是我歌词的由来

I just try to move on and keep my peace about it

我仅是努力继续唱下去 心无旁骛的唱下去

But Come to think about it I can't even count the days that I've spent starving tryna find some decent housing

但是请想想 我甚至无法算计那些日子，那些饥荒度日,试图找一个陋室遮风避雨

That's why I'm always smiling but on this beat I seem so violent

因此我时常微笑,但这首歌里我却表现的心浮气躁

So ask me 'bout the music scene and what the f-ck I think about it

所以问我是怎样看待乐坛这个圈子的

Time flies I guess thats why I'm bugging

时间飞逝我猜这就是我沮丧的原因

Just yesterday I was rapping with my brother and my cousin

就在昨天我还在与弟弟和堂兄弟们说唱

If you had the stove or toaster on you couldn't use the oven

要是你早有炉灶或者烤面包机那烤箱还有何用武之地

We knew that we were struggling we just acted like we wasn't

大家心知肚明人人都在挣扎求生却又装的大相径庭

It's either make it rapping if not that than hustlin'

这同样应用于说唱如果不是就奋斗下去

So all I see is magazine covers in this game

满眼都是这个圈子的杂志封面

You either surface or you plummet

你或许春风得意或已是昨日黄花

It's a thin line and I'm just tryna keep my head above it

这是条狭窄的细缝我只是试图让头伸出来

Damn...

擦

And it's so hard to breathe

是的,实在艰于呼吸

And even more so to sleep when no-one cares

没人在乎你的时候同样夜夜难寐

It was all I can eat

这些曾是我该需要的

But now I'm sinking so deep I can't come up for air

但我正沉沦着,沉的好深,我无法浮出换气

Air I-I-I

空气我我我

I sink away cause I sink away

我正沉沦我正沉沦

I sink away

我正沉沦

I sink away I sink away

我正沉沦

Get carried away get carried away

快脱离这里

And it's so hard to breathe

实在艰于呼吸

And even more so to sleep when no-one cares

没人在乎你的时候,同样夜夜难寐

It was all I can eat

实在艰于呼吸

But now I'm sinking so deep

沉的好深

Damn it's never in the plans but hey it's a long way than beating pots and pans (x3)

该是这些从没纳入计划中，但是听着，与贫困抗争之路还漫长着呢

But now I'm sinking so deep I can't come up for air ai

但我正沉沦着，沉的好深，我无法浮出换气
