[00:00:10] So we all got children products of the ghetto

[00:00:13] Momma cooked us soup daddy did the yelling

[00:00:15] 母亲为我们准备食物 父亲经常大吼大叫

[00:00:15] Uncle was a drunk cousin was a felon

[00:00:18] 叔叔是个酒鬼 整日烂醉如泥 表兄是个街头恶棍 游手好闲

[00:00:18] When he got pitched he told them he wasn't tellin'

[00:00:20] 当他遇到麻烦 他告诉他们他什么也没说

[00:00:20] Auntie was a cook her husband was a crook

[00:00:23] 姨妈爱多管闲事 她丈夫满腹谎言

[00:00:23] Cause every job he had they be payin' him off the books

[00:00:26] 因为他找的每份工作都不是什么正经工作

[00:00:26] Ghetto university knowledge is all it took

[00:00:28] 在贫民区的大学里 只有空洞的知识

[00:00:28] In a tenement I was listenin' to the hook

[00:00:31] 周围的环境无比恶劣 站在屋外能听见屋内缠绵的声音

[00:00:31] Change gon' come the spirit of sam cook

[00:00:33] 山姆的声音回荡在耳旁 我们的处境一定会改变

[00:00:33] When the feds comin' everybody get shook

[00:00:36] 当联邦调查局前来调查 所有人都屏息凝视

[00:00:36] Now we doin' life like eddie murphy and martin

[00:00:38] 如今我们就像电影里的艾迪·墨菲和马丁 重获新生

[00:00:38] On the chain gang I was singing into the coffin

[00:00:41] 一直被牢牢束缚 我曾以为一辈子就只能这样 通过歌声表达自己的苦难

[00:00:41] The roaches and the rats h****n and the cracks

[00:00:43] 生活环境无比恶劣 **泛滥 房屋破旧不堪

[00:00:43] Couldn't blame me I'm just giving the facts

[00:00:46] 别指责我 我只是实话实说

[00:00:46] Tryna hit the top the bottom ain't where it's at

[00:00:49] 竭尽全力走出困境 因为痛苦的日子没有尽头

[00:00:49] Everybody got a past but you can never go back

[00:00:51] 每个人都有美好的回忆 但是你再也回不去了

[00:01:19] I know it sound wrong but the door will be what it is

[00:01:22] Survival of the fittest this poor girl the illest

[00:01:25] Broke parents and black cats give me heebie geebies

[00:01:27] Life seems hard but nothin' ever comes easy

[00:01:30] 人生本就举步维艰 天上永远不会掉馅饼

[00:01:30] Whatever's in the dark can always become the light

[00:01:32] If you ain't in a battle how you gon' win the fight

[00:01:37] The streets be flyin' birds but they don't be on the roof

[00:01:40] 我们拥有同样的生命 抛开种族歧视

[00:01:40] Poverty is a pain like you pullin' a tooth

[00:01:42] 贫困会带来巨大的伤痛

[00:01:42] Told the streets don't let me go like I'm bishop in juice
