The Gospel - Alicia Keys (艾莉西亚·凯斯)
Written by:Alicia Keys
So we all got children products of the ghetto
我们都有自己的孩子 他们也生活在贫民区
Momma cooked us soup daddy did the yelling
母亲为我们准备食物 父亲经常大吼大叫
Uncle was a drunk cousin was a felon
叔叔是个酒鬼 整日烂醉如泥 表兄是个街头恶棍 游手好闲
When he got pitched he told them he wasn't tellin'
当他遇到麻烦 他告诉他们他什么也没说
Auntie was a cook her husband was a crook
姨妈爱多管闲事 她丈夫满腹谎言
Cause every job he had they be payin' him off the books
因为他找的每份工作都不是什么正经工作
Ghetto university knowledge is all it took
在贫民区的大学里 只有空洞的知识
In a tenement I was listenin' to the hook
周围的环境无比恶劣 站在屋外能听见屋内缠绵的声音
Change gon' come the spirit of sam cook
山姆的声音回荡在耳旁 我们的处境一定会改变
When the feds comin' everybody get shook
当联邦调查局前来调查 所有人都屏息凝视
Now we doin' life like eddie murphy and martin
如今我们就像电影里的艾迪·墨菲和马丁 重获新生
On the chain gang I was singing into the coffin
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
The roaches and the rats h****n and the cracks
生活环境无比恶劣 **泛滥 房屋破旧不堪
Couldn't blame me I'm just giving the facts
别指责我 我只是实话实说
Tryna hit the top the bottom ain't where it's at
竭尽全力走出困境 因为痛苦的日子没有尽头
Everybody got a past but you can never go back
每个人都有美好的回忆 但是你再也回不去了
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Yeah yeah yeah yeah sing

Tellin' you like it is how we ever gon' live
我说的就是这些 我们该如何继续生存
If we ain't gettin' money how we feedin' the kids
如果我们没有钱 拿什么喂养孩子
It's a revolving door where brothers be doin' bids
我们要努力谋生 与贫困斗争到底
I know it sound wrong but the door will be what it is
我知道这听起来很荒谬 但现实就是如此 你无能为力
Survival of the fittest this poor girl the illest
适者生存 不适者亡
Broke parents and black cats give me heebie geebies
无尽的争吵 残破的景象 让我心神不宁
Life seems hard but nothin' ever comes easy
人生本就举步维艰 天上永远不会掉馅饼
Whatever's in the dark can always become the light
黑暗终有尽头 光明总会到来
If you ain't in a battle how you gon' win the fight
如果你不去努力斗争 怎会赢得胜利
Gotta speak the truth when I'm up in the booth
当时机成熟 我会大声说出真相
The streets be flyin' birds but they don't be on the roof
我们拥有同样的生命 抛开种族歧视
Poverty is a pain like you pullin' a tooth
贫困会带来巨大的伤痛
Told the streets don't let me go like I'm bishop in juice
告诉人们 不要让我离开 就像电影里的毕夏普
The roaches and the rats h****n and the cracks
生活环境无比恶劣 **泛滥 房屋破旧不堪
Couldn't blame me I'm just giving the facts
别指责我 我只是实话实说
Tryna hit the top the bottom ain't where it's at
竭尽全力走出困境 因为痛苦的日子没有尽头
Everybody got a past but you can never go back
每个人都有美好的回忆 但是你再也回不去了
