Damn take a ride to my block
来吧,随我去我的街区走一遭
My block that's right
我的街区,没错
Hehe
'Round my motherfuckin' way
就在老子该死的地盘上
They got a nigga sheddin' tears reminiscin' on my past fears
兄弟我不禁落泪,追忆往昔的惊惶
'Cause shit was hectic for me last year
因为去年过得实在动荡不安
It appears that I've been marked for death my heartless breath
似乎我已死期已定,呼吸也变得冷酷
The underlying cause of my arrest my life is stressed
这是我被捕的深层缘由,生活压得我喘不过气
And no rest forever weary my eyes stay teary
永无安息,满目疲惫,双眼始终噙着泪
For all the brothers that are buried in the cemetery
为了那些长眠在公墓里的兄弟
Shit is scary how black-on-black crime legendary
同族残杀竟成了“传奇”,这现实令人心惊
But at times unnessecary I'm gettin' worried
可这些无谓的暴力,让我深感不安
Teardrops and closed caskets the three strikes law is drastic
泪水伴着紧闭的棺木,重刑枷锁严酷无情
And certain death for us ghetto bastards
对我们这些贫民窟的苦命人,死局早已注定
What can we do when we're arrested but open fire?
当被捕已成必然,除了开火反抗还能怎样?
Life in the pen' ain't for me 'cause I'd rather die
深牢大狱不适合我,我宁愿慷慨赴死
But don't cry through your despair
但即便身处绝望,也请莫要哭泣
I wonder if the Lord still cares for us niggas on welfare
我怀疑上帝是否还眷顾我们这些领救济金的兄弟
And who cares if we survive?
谁又会在乎我们是否能活下去?
The only time they notice a nigga is when he's clutchin' on a .45
只有当兄弟手里攥着点四五时,他们才会正眼相看
My neighborhood ain't the same
我的邻里街坊早已物是人非
'Cause all these little babies goin' crazy and they sufferin' in the game
孩子们都已陷入疯狂,在残酷的生存法则中挣扎
And I swear it's like a trap
我发誓,这里就像一个令人窒息的陷阱
But I ain't given up on the hood it's all good when I go back
但我从未放弃这片土地,回到家园一切便好
Hoes show me love niggas give me props
姑娘们投来爱意,兄弟们对我满是敬重
Forever hot 'cause it don't stop on my block
喧嚣永不停歇,在我的街区永远热火朝天
Livin' life is but a dream
活着不过是一场虚幻梦境
Hard times is all we seen
苦难才是我们见过的全部
On my block
在我的街区
Every block is kind of mean
每一条街巷都透着股狠劲
But on the block we still pray

Now shit's constantly hot on my block
如今在我的街区,局势始终动荡不安
It never fails to be gunshots
枪声已成为这里永恒的旋律
Can't explain a mother's pain when her son drops
当儿子倒在血泊,母亲的哀恸无法言说
Black males livin' in hell when will we prevail?
黑人兄弟深陷炼狱,何时才能迎来转机?
Fearin' jail but crack sales got me livin' well
虽惧怕牢狱,但毒品交易却让我衣食无忧
And in a sense I'm suicidal with this Thug's Life
某种意义上,这亡命之路无异于自寻死路
Stayin' strapped forever trapped in this drug life
枪不离身,永远被困在这毒烟弥漫的生活里
God help me 'cause I'm starvin' can't get a job
上帝救救我,我饥肠辘辘却找不到工作
So I resort to violent robberies my life is hard
生活所迫,我不得不走上暴力抢劫的歧途
Can't sleep 'cause all the dirt make my heart hurt

Put in work and shed tears for my dead peers

Mislead from childhood where I went astray

'Til this day I still pray for a better way

Can't help but feel hopeless and heartbroke

From the start I felt the racism 'cause I'm dark
从一开始,我便因肤色深沉而感到受尽歧视
Couldn't quit the bullshit make me represent
身陷泥潭无法脱身,却不得不代表这片土地
Hit the bar and played the star everywhere I went
混迹酒吧,所到之处都扮演着虚名的明星
In my heart I felt alone out here on my own
在我内心深处,独自在这街头倍感孤独
I close my eyes and picture home on my block
闭上眼,脑海中浮现的是我街区的家园

And I can't help but wonder why so many young kids had to die
我忍不住追问,为何这么多年轻的生命过早凋零
Caught strays from AK's in a drive-by
在飞车射击中,被AK的流弹夺去了性命

Time changes us as to stone them crack pipes

All up and down the block exterminatin' black life

But I can't blame the dealers

My mama's welfare check has brought the next man chrome wheels
我妈的救济金,却给别人换了副闪亮的轮毂
Shit's real I know you feel my tragedy
这就是血淋淋的现实,你能感受到我的悲剧
A single mother with a problem child daddy free
单亲母亲、问题少年,还有那缺位的父亲
Hangin' out pickin' up game sippin' cheap liquor
混迹街头学习生存伎俩,啜饮着廉价的烈酒
Gamin' the hoochies hopin' I can get to sleep with her
调戏着姑娘,试图在温存中忘却现实
It's a man's world stayin' strapped
在这男人的世界,唯有枪支能带来安全感
Fantasies of a nigga livin' phat but held back

Alcohol will make a lazy nigga slip and fall miss his call

I know the young niggas understand this

Growin' up in this world where everything is scandalous

I reminisce on the fast times past crimes
追忆那些疯狂的岁月与曾经犯下的罪
Tryin' to cop a slice of pizza with my last dime

Can't explain just what attracts me to this dirty game

Gold chains some extra change and the street fame
金链子、零钱,还有那虚无缥缈的街头名声
And what's strange is everybody know my name

Swear they all know me and lots of cash make a nigga change

I hit the green just to maintain feelin' pain
