作曲 : Chancelor Bennett, Peter Wilkins, Lolly
This Chicago, ****
Surprise, it's the boy who lived
It's the West Chatham Santa with some toys to give
A .38 Special I call Noisy Cricket
I got a chain on now called Roy G. Biv
It's the new New Edition like Poison, Biv Bell DeVoe
It's time to make that noise again
Lauryn Hill say she seen me on The Voice again
But this the end of the road like Boyz II Men
You better use your pen, baby, use your heart, child
Where's your viewpoint? Where's your art style?
Sometimes a teardrop can make your heart smile
Looking for a sign and He sends a star shower
Fresh off surviving the coup d'état
The music stop, you just might lose your spot
No fairytale endings if you lose the plot
It's written in the notebook if you forgot
It's a love letter
I used to hate math, used to love letters
They had me in the class with the dumb ****
This **** come to class with an umbrella
Ditch school, daywalker, I'm a sun dweller
Until I met a Brother Mike, he said, "Young fella
Everybody dies, some write poems"
So I raised my right arm and I said, "Right on"
Put my name on that don't give no **** list
America's own **** you can't trust list
I got a SIG Sauer called MC Hammer
I got a chain on now called You Can't Touch This
I said I gotta figure out a huh?
Gotta figure out a way to get this money by tomorrow
If you know me, it ain't funny anymore
If you owe me, ain't no running anymore
Oh, life will be
Just you believe in you
Put on that full armor
Learned that from my mama, she said
Oh, life will be (Life will be)
Just you believe in you (Just you believe in)
Separate the waters
It's a fleet of ocean liners star-side
Shake it for Star Line
Work it for Star Line
Shake it for Star Line
Work it for Star Line
Shake it for Star Line
Work it for Star Line
Work it for Star Line
And we back
Look, Mama, I seen a star
Big and pretty and it ain't that far
Bright and bold and Black like me
And it's right in the mirror, I'm shining hard
The last time that my check got commas
My whips got horses, my chains got blinders
Teachers got laptops, the kids got binders
Celebrity barber, my stars all lined up
Three went platinum, the one went diamond
I had a F-minus, but that's behind us
My pen on paper worth millions of dollars
Shout out to the fact that they still ain't signed us
No contract, no fine print
No lease, no co-signment
I emptied the safe for a case, I ain't never been broken
But you don't know how broke I been
Tell me how can you now afford to file divorce?
The child support, the back door, take the trial to court
Either I'm the best or these times is good
There's only two reasons this shit could rhyme this good
Heavy is the crown, I'm ahead my time
I left breadcrumbs when I read my rhymes
So if I catch a red dot to the dome
They'll find me with a note on my head saying, "You read my mind"
The pen gon' flow, God, I'm your vessel
Now bless my soul, God, we gon' wrestle
The writings on the wall, baby, it's a fresco
It's a death note, it's a manifesto
Oh, life will be (And we back)
Just you believe in you
Put on that full armor
Learned that from my mama, she said
Oh, life will be (Life will be)
Just you believe in you (Just you believe in)
Separate the waters
It's a fleet of ocean liners star-side
Life will be
Just you believe in you
Oh, life will be
All of us have something to say
But some are never heard
Over seven years ago, the people of Watts stood together and demanded to be heard
For over six hours, the audience heard, felt, sang, danced, and shouted the living word
In a soulful expression of the Black experience

这是芝加哥
惊喜吧,我就是那个“活下来的男孩”
我是西查塔姆区的圣诞老人,带着“礼物”来分发
我有一把.38 特殊型左轮,我叫它“吵闹蟋蟀”
我戴着的项链叫“Roy G. Biv”
这是新版的 New Edition,就像 Biv Bell DeVoe 的《Poison》
是时候再次掀起声浪了
Lauryn Hill 说她又在《The Voice》上看到我
但这就像 Boyz II Men 的《End of the Road》一样走到尽头
你最好用好你的笔,宝贝,用你的心去写,孩子
你的观点呢?你的艺术风格呢?
有时一滴眼泪能让你的心微笑
你在找征兆,而上帝给你降下流星雨
刚刚躲过一场政变般的劫难
音乐一停,你就可能失去位置
如果你失去了主线,就没有童话般的结局
如果你忘了,那都写在笔记本里
这是一封情书
我曾经讨厌数学,却热爱文字
他们把我分到“笨蛋班”里
这家伙居然打着伞来上课
逃学的“日行者”,我是阳光的居民
直到我遇到 Brother Mike,他对我说:“年轻人,
人人都会死,但有人会写诗
于是我举起右手,说:“没错!”
把我的名字写进“不在乎一切”的名单里
这是美国本土的“你不能信任”的名单
我有一把 SIG Sauer 手枪,我叫它 MC Hammer
我戴着的项链叫《你碰不得》
我说我得想个…嗯?
得想办法明天之前把这笔钱弄到手
如果你了解我,这可一点都不好笑
如果你欠我钱,那你再也跑不掉了
哦,生活会变成这样
只要你相信你自己
披上那副全副武装
这是我妈教我的,她说——
哦,生活会是这样(生活会是这样)
只要你相信你自己(只要你相信)
分开那片水域
那是一支停靠在星辰一侧的巨轮舰队
为 Star Line 摇摆起来
为 Star Line 卖力舞动
为 Star Line 摇摆起来
为 Star Line 卖力舞动
为 Star Line 摇摆起来
为 Star Line 卖力舞动
为 Star Line 卖力舞动
我们回来了
看啊,妈妈,我看见了一颗星星
又大又美,而且并不远
它明亮、大胆,和我一样有着黑色皮肤
它就在镜子里——我自己正闪耀着光芒
上一次我的支票上多了几个逗号
我的车子有“马力”,我的项链有“眼罩”
老师们有了笔记本电脑,孩子们有了文件夹(暗示他回馈社区、支持教育)
有明星理发师,我的“星星”全都排成行
三张唱片白金认证,一张钻石认证
我以前成绩只有 F-,但那都过去了
我用笔写在纸上的东西价值数百万美元
值得骄傲的是——他们到现在还没签下我们(保持独立音乐人的身份)
没有合同,没有隐藏条款
没有租赁,没有联名担保
我为一个案子清空了保险箱,但我从未真正破产过
但你并不知道我曾有多穷
告诉我,你现在怎么负担得起离婚?
抚养费、背后的勾当、把案件带上法庭
要么我是最棒的,要么是这个时代太好了
能押出这么好的韵,原因只有这两个
王冠沉重,我走在时代之前
我读我的韵脚时留下了面包屑
所以如果我的脑门上出现红点
他们会发现我头上贴着一张纸写着:“你看穿了我的心思”
我的笔会继续流淌,上帝啊,我是你的器皿
现在保佑我的灵魂吧,上帝,我们要来一场较量
预兆已经写在墙上,宝贝,那是一幅壁画
它是死亡笔记,也是宣言
哦,生活会是这样(我们又回来了)
只要你相信你自己
披上那副全副武装
这是我妈教我的,她说——
生活会是这样(生活会是这样)
只要你相信你自己(只要你相信)
分开那片水域
那是一支停靠在星辰一侧的巨轮舰队
生活会是这样
只要你相信你自己
哦,生活会是这样
我们每个人都有想说的话
但有些人从未被听到过
七年多前,沃茨社区的人们站在一起,要求自己的声音被听见(Watts 是洛杉矶的一个非裔聚居区,曾有重要的民权抗议历史)
六个多小时里,观众倾听、感受、歌唱、舞动、呐喊着活生生的言语
那是对黑人经历发自灵魂的表达
