Written by:Wu Tang Clan/The RZA
I grew up on a crime side the New York times side
我在纽约犯罪区长大 那里充满黑暗时光
Staying alive was no jive
生存绝非儿戏 每一天都在挣扎
Had secondhands mom's bounced on old man
穿着二手衣服 母亲离开酗酒的父亲
So then we moved to Shaolin land
于是我们搬到了少林区谋生
A young youth yo rocking the gold tooth 'Lo goose
年少轻狂的我 戴着金牙 穿着鹅绒外套
Only way I be gettin' the G off was ** loot
唯一能搞到钱的方式就是*非法勾当*
And let's start it
现在让我们开始
Like this son rolling with this one and that one
就像这样 跟着这帮兄弟混迹街头
Pulling out Gats for fun
年少轻狂把玩枪械只为消遣
But it was just a dream for the teen
但这不过是少年痴妄的幻想
Who was a fiend
沉溺毒海难以自拔
Started smoking woolas at 16
十六岁便染上毒瘾
And running up in gates and doing hits for high stakes
铤而走险入室行窃 为巨额赌注卖命
Making my way on fire escapes
在消防梯上仓皇逃窜
No question I would speed for cracks and **
为求快感不惜以身试法
The combination made my eyes bleed
致命组合让我双眼渗血
No question I would flow off
毫无疑问我会铤而走险
And try to get the dough all
只为获取那些不义之财
Sticking up white boys in ball courts
在球场边劫掠那些白人小子
My life got no better same d**n 'Lo sweater
生活从未好转 依旧穿着破旧毛衣
Times is rough and tough like leather
岁月如皮革般粗粝坚硬
Figured out I went the wrong route
终于明白自己误入歧途
So I got with a sick ass clique and went all out
于是加入亡命团伙彻底沉沦
Catching keys from across seas
跨洋走私钥匙到手
Rolling in MPV's every week we made forty G's
每周开着MPV狂赚四万美金
Yo bro respect mine or here go the TEC 9
兄弟敬我三分 否则TEC9伺候
Ch chick POW move from the gate now
咔嚓砰响 速速撤离现场
It's been twenty two long hard years of still struggling
二十二载艰难岁月仍在挣扎求存
Survival got me bugging but I'm alive on arrival
生存逼我疯狂 但至少活着出狱
I peep at the shape of the streets
我窥探街头暗涌
Stay awake to the ways of the world
彻夜不眠洞察世道险恶
Deep
深陷其中
A man with a dream with plans to make cream
怀揣梦想 渴望翻身致富
Which failed I went to jail at the age of fifteen
却在十五岁锒铛入狱 梦想破碎
A young buck selling *** and such who never had much
年少轻狂贩卖** 身无长物
Trying to get a clutch at what I could not touch
拼命追逐 却始终遥不可及
The court played me short now I face incarceration
法庭无情 如今面临铁窗生涯
Pacin' going upstate's my destination
辗转北上 监狱将是我归宿
Handcuffed in the back of a bus forty of us
四十人挤在警车后座 手铐紧锁
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough
童年本不该如此残酷
But as the world turned I learned life is hell
世事变迁让我明白 人间即炼狱
Living in the world no different from a cell
活在世上 与囚笼无异
Every day I escape from Jakes giving chase selling base
每日逃避追捕 在楼梯间贩卖**
Smoking bones in the staircase
在台阶上吞云吐雾
Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess
虽不知为何选择沉溺**
I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed
或许只有那时才能暂忘忧愁
But I'm still depressed and I ask what's it worth
但我仍深陷抑郁 不知这一切有何意义
Ready to give up so I seek the old earth
几欲放弃时 我向故土寻求慰藉
Who explained working hard may help you maintain
有人曾说勤奋或许能助你坚守阵地
To learn to overcome the heartaches and pain
学着战胜那些心痛与苦难的侵袭
We got stickup kids corrupt cops and crack rocks and
街角充斥着劫匪 腐败警察与*毒*品
Stray shots all on the block that stays hot
流弹横飞的街区永远躁动不安宁
Leave it up to me while I be living proof
且看我如何成为活生生的例证
To kick the truth to the young black youth
向黑人青年传递这血泪的真相
But shorty's running wild smoking sess drinking beer
但那小子放纵沉沦 吞云吐雾酗酒度日
And ain't trying to hear what I'm kicking in his ear
对我苦口婆心的劝诫充耳不闻
Neglected for now but yo it gots to be accepted
虽被暂时忽视 但你必须认清现实
That what
要知道
That life is hectic
这生活本就疯狂残酷
