STREET LIVIN' (Explicit) - Black Eyed Peas
Written by:will.i.am/apl.de.ap/Taboo/Joshua Alverez
Streets streets
街头 街头
Livin' in the streets
生活在街头
Street livin' caught in a trap
街头生活 仿佛掉入一个永远无法走出的陷阱之中
Guns or books sell crack or rap
是拿起枪支还是拿起课本 是贩卖白粉还是尽情说唱
Be like kings or be like pawns
是像国王一样称霸一方还是像无名小卒受尽欺压
They called us coons now they call us cons
曾经他们称我们为黑人 如今他们称我们是骗子
Street niggas be packing pistols
街头黑人就像子弹上膛的枪支
Terrorists be blasting missles
恐怖分子就像随时爆炸的导弹
Crips and Bloods and retail thugs
街头到处是势不两立的帮派和暴徒
CIA planes bring Colombian drugs
中情局飞机却带来了哥伦比亚**
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to hell
别逼我了 我的生活早已如炼狱一般
The teachers in my neighborhood can hardly spell
我家附近的老师几乎不会拼写
And compare to them prison guards get payed well
和他们相比 狱警却得到了丰厚的报酬
Ten years no bail is 4 years at Yale
黑人过着十年没有保释的监狱生活 白人却在耶鲁进修4年
So forget about the statue of General Lee
所以忘掉李将军的雕像吧
Because the status of blacks are generally
因为一般而言 黑人最终都会在
Gonna end up in some penitentiary
监狱里度过一生
Systematically that's how they made it to be
有条不紊地一点一点走到这一步
Listen they derailed the soul train
听着 他们出卖了自己的灵魂
And put a nightmare into every Martin Luther King
把每一个像马丁路德金一样的年轻黑人推入黑暗的深渊
And privatized prisons are owned by the same
私有化的监狱被那些
Slave masters that owned the slave trade game
操纵黑人交易市场的大佬控制
And racists no longer have to be racist
种族主义者不必再抱有种族歧视的观念
'Cause niggas kill more niggas than the KKK did
因为黑人之间互相残杀 比三K党杀死的黑人还要多
Now every time I hear a new def jam
现在每当我听到一首新专辑
Niggas killing niggas like they Ku Klux Klan
黑人就像三K党一样残杀黑人
I understand what's a ni**a to choose
我明白他们根本没有什么选择
Be the killer or be the dead dude in the news
要么自己做杀手 要么成为受害者登上新闻
I get it what's a ni**a to do
我了解他们的处境 他们还能怎么办
No education in the hood got a ni**a confused
从小接受不到良好的教育 人生处处充满困惑
Street livin' tough conditions
街头生活非常艰难
Brainwashed by the television
思想被电视侵害
We lost in the war we live in
我们的生活仿佛就是一场战争
Double cross love lost no religion
受到双重的迫害 没有爱 没有宗教信仰
Street livin' oh my gosh
街头生活 我的上帝啊
Another brother got shot by the searg'
另一个兄弟又被枪杀
Another cop got off with no charge
又一个警察没有受到任何指控就被放走了
If you black in the hood you at large
如果你是黑人
You're guilty until we prove you're innocent
很有可能你会被判有罪 直到白人证明你是无辜的
If you're ivory they treat you different
如果你是白人 他们对你的态度就会好很多
If you're ebony they assume you're temperament
如果你是黑人 人们就会认定你脾气暴躁
Well be vigilant and they call you militant
请保持警惕 因为他们会称你为好战分子
You'll get shot and they'll say the incident
你会被枪击 他们会说这是因为你好斗
Is 'cause you're beligerent
才导致这件事发生
What a coincidence
怎么会这么巧
Born and bred but you're still an immigrant
在这里出生 在这里长大 却受到移民一样的待遇
If you ain't dead you can see imprisonment
就算你侥幸活了下来 很有可能要面对无尽的监禁
There's more niggas in the prisons than there ever slaves cotton picking
如今 监狱里关押的黑人比奴隶制时期还要多
There's more niggas that's rotting in the prisons
被终生被监禁在监狱里的黑人
Than there ever slaves cotton picking
比奴隶制时期还要多
So how we gon' get out the trap
所以我们该如何走出这个困境
Guns or books sell crack or rap
是拿起枪支还是拿起课本 是贩卖白粉还是尽情说唱
Street livin' hustle or hoops
街头生活 是忙忙碌碌还是被监禁起来
Guns or books get shot or shoot
是拿起枪支还是拿起课本 被枪杀还是枪杀别人
Street livin' ain't no rules
街头生活一片混乱
Break the law make the breakin' news
违反法律 到处是令人心碎的消息
The life you choose could be the life you lose
你选择的生活可能葬送你的生命
Niggas getting stuck for the Nike shoes
黑人的生活陷入暴力恐怖之中
Street livin' ain't no joke
街头生活 不是开玩笑
It's a cold world better bring your coat
这是一个冷血无情的世界 最好做好一切防护
Revoke 'cause the streets are broke
废除法律 因为街头生活已经处于崩溃的边缘
And now they wanna take away our dreams and hopes
现在他们想带走我们最后的梦想和希望
Street livin' no economics
街头生活 毫无经济来源
No way out of the Reaganomics
里根经济改革之后我们仍无出路
Infected by the black plague new bubonic
黑人在疾病 鼠疫之间垂死挣扎
No comprende we speak ebonics
没人能听懂我们的语言
Street livin' what's your position

You can take action or take a dick
你可以采取行动 或者随便谈论一番
Listen you can get f**ked by the system
听着 你要么被这个制度摧残
Or you can say f**k the system
要么打破这个制度
