Do U Really Know? - Big Daddy Kane

Here's a little food for thought
且听我娓娓道来
As I tell it cause if it happened to this cat
这只猫的遭遇或许
Then it can happen to you
也会降临在你身上
Do the knowledge
请细思量
I was sittin' outside double parked after dark
夜幕低垂时我违停路边
I think it was the corner of Nostrand and St Mark
就在诺斯特兰与圣马可街角
That's when this stray cat walked up to me
忽有流浪猫向我走来
Now I was sure he would be
我确信它必将
But you woulda thought he'd know me
但他本该认出我的模样
Tellin' his life story to me
向我倾诉他的人生过往
He said 'Yo Kane' since way back in his life
他说"嘿Kane" 从说唱黄金年代开始
Days of Rappers Delight yo he was after the hype
追逐名利就是他的毕生志向
He rocked the Kangols Adidas when Run and them had that spot
他戴着Kangol帽 踩着阿迪鞋 在Run的地盘混迹
When I came out he had a flat-top
当我出道时 他还留着平头发型
And when Naughty came out a couple years ago
当Naughty乐队走红 就在几年前
He even tried the braids up in his hair but they ain't hear him tho
他连脏辫都尝试过 却无人问津
Vexed and down you know next he found
心烦意乱时 他遇见了那只猫
Heavy D was blowing up so then he tried to gain extra pounds
Heavy D正当红 于是他拼命增肥求关注
No thanks to that they ranked him wack
可惜适得其反 众人骂他太差劲
Only thing that's left to do was to go gangsta rap
最后只能转型 玩起匪帮说唱
So now he rhyme about the keys being sold
如今他唱着毒品交易
The G's being fold the trees being rolled
钞票成堆 **卷起
Now sure he should he started acting like he from the hood
明知不该 却开始伪装街头出身
Talking thug game and had his record sales doing good
满口黑话 唱片销量倒是不错
And so now you on the road to riches
如今你踏上追逐名利的道路
Referring to the womankind as hoes and b**ches
用轻蔑字眼称呼女性群体
Yeah you the man now because you rap is for
是啊 你现在是风云人物 因为你的说唱风格
But you got your 7 year old daughter listenin'
