[00:09:03] 让黑人用来养精蓄锐

[00:09:03] And that's right now while you a teenager'

[00:09:05] 现在当你作为一个青少年

[00:09:05] While you still strong

[00:09:06] 当你还身强体壮

[00:09:06] Or while you still wanna lift weights'

[00:09:07] 仍有力气

[00:09:07] While you still wanna shoot back'

[00:09:09] 当你依旧想要做出反击之时就该行动起来

[00:09:09] Cause once you turn 30

[00:09:10] 因为一旦你上了30岁后

[00:09:10] It's like they take the heart and soul out of a man'

[00:09:12] 那些发自内心和灵魂的意念就不存在了

[00:09:12] Out of a black man in this country'

[00:09:14] 特别是生存在这个国家之中的黑人

[00:09:14] And you don't wanna fight no more'

[00:09:15] 然后你就再也不想抗争下去

[00:09:15] And if you don't believe me you can look around'

[00:09:17] 如果你不信我所说的你可以看看你身边的例子

[00:09:17] You don't see no loud mouth 30-year old muthaf**kas

[00:09:20] 你根本看不到上了三十岁的人还像我们一样的心存斗志

[00:09:20] That's crazy' because me being one of your offspring of the legacy you left behind

[00:09:25] 这太疯狂了 因为对我来说作为继承您意志的一员

[00:09:25] I can truly tell you

[00:09:26] 我能负责任的告诉你

[00:09:26] That there's nothing but turmoil goin'

[00:09:29] 现在除了混乱和焦虑真的什么都没了

[00:09:29] On so I wanted to ask you

[00:09:32] 所以我想问问你

[00:09:32] What you think is the future for me and my generation today

[00:09:36] 对于我们这一代的未来你如何看待？

[00:09:36] I think that niggas is tired of grabbin'

[00:09:37] 我认为人们已经

[00:09:37] Sh*t out the stores and next time

[00:09:39] 懒得去打砸**

[00:09:39] It's a riot there's gonna be'

[00:09:40] 以后肯定是会引发暴乱挥洒鲜血的

[00:09:40] Like'

[00:09:40] 我是说

[00:09:40] Uh' bloodshed for real' I don't think America know that'

[00:09:44] 真的 我并不觉得美国已经有所意识

[00:09:44] I think American think we was just playing

[00:09:46] 我觉得他们以为我们只是在玩玩把戏

[00:09:46] And it's gonna be some more playing

[00:09:47] 并且继续玩下去

[00:09:47] But it ain't gonna be no playing'

[00:09:49] 其实不然

[00:09:49] It's gonna be murder' you know

[00:09:50] 这将演变成** 你知道吗

[00:09:50] What I'm saying' it's gonna be like Nat Turner'

[00:09:52] 这会变得像1831年

[00:09:52] 1831' up in this muthaf**ka'

[00:09:55] 纳特特纳事件一样

[00:09:55] You know what I'm saying' it's gonna happen

[00:09:59] 你知道我想说什么 这终将发生

[00:09:59] That's crazy man' In my opinion' only hope

[00:10:02] That we kinda have left is music and vibrations'

[00:10:07] Lotta people don't understand how important it is'

[00:10:10] Sometimes I be like'

[00:10:12] Get behind a mic and

[00:10:13] I don't know what type of energy I'mma push out'

[00:10:16] Or where it comes from'

[00:10:19] Trip me out sometimes

[00:10:20] Because the spirits' we ain't even really rappin''

[00:10:23] We just letting our dead homies tell stories for us

[00:10:25] Damn

[00:10:28] I wanted to read one last thing to you'

[00:10:31] It's actually something a good friend

[00:10:33] Had wrote describing my world' It says

[00:10:40] The caterpillar is a prisoner to the streets

[00:10:42] That conceived it

[00:10:45] It's only job is to eat or consume everything around it'

[00:10:49] In order to protect itself from this mad city

[00:10:52] While consuming its environment the caterpillar begins to notice ways to survive

[00:10:57] One thing it noticed is how much the world shuns him' but praises the butterfly

[00:11:02] The butterfly represents the talent' the thoughtfulness' and the beauty within the caterpillar

[00:11:08] But having a harsh outlook on life

[00:11:10] The caterpillar sees the butterfly

[00:11:11] As weak and figures out a way to pimp it to his own benefits

[00:11:17] Already surrounded by this mad city

[00:11:18] The caterpillar goes to work on the cocoon

[00:11:21] Which institutionalizes him

[00:11:24] He can no longer see past his own thoughts

[00:11:26] He's trapped

[00:11:28] When trapped inside these walls certain ideas

[00:11:30] Start to take roots' such as going home'

[00:11:32] And bringing back new concepts to this mad city

[00:11:36] The result

[00:11:37] Wings begin to emerge' breaking the cycle of feeling stagnant

[00:11:42] Finally free' the butterfly sheds light on situations that the caterpillar never considered'

[00:11:48] Ending the internal struggle

[00:11:51] Although the butterfly and caterpillar are completely different'

[00:11:55] They are one and the same'

[00:11:58] What's your perspective on that
