Yeah,
yeah,
Space Age forever;
Niggas and hos better recognize
Eightball and MJG, been ten toes down in this game
第三句歌词Since we were two young playas in a one-horse town
Then hopped to a mutha****in' grasshopper
Nigga, my life would have been done got cut off
If my dues weren't paid
It's a thinnin' line between wrong and right
Trapped in a trap till the mornin' light
Ghetto ain't left me no choices; I had to fight
My mama and daddy was too young to raise me right
Maybe I been made a man from all the mistakes I made
Niggas dead, niggas gone; I still ain't afraid
Ain't too grown to get back on with ghetto games I played
My life would have been done got cut off if the dues weren't paid
In the middle of doin' crime; it never stopped me from writin' rhymes
It never stopped me from playin' music
God, but it didn't mean I had to use it
It was obvious: I had to give up the streets for the beats
Not knowin', but havin' faith on just how long that it would be
Before I made it, before somebody picked up my tape and played it
With a remark like, "Hey, played that instrumental, you cat's got potential."
In the process of doing talent shows, parties, and mix tapes
We even put it down on some of our homeboys jail release dates
I can remember in the past closin' down at fast foods
Strictly stickin' to my dreams, but feelin' like I'd be the last dude
Who can make it in this rap; I thought that they ain't gon' see me in Memphis
It was like a time they looked over Tennessee
And didn't know hip-hop was in us
To all my vets in the game, I got love; stay on your toes
'Cause back in the days, I used to use your 4-5 instrumental to do my shows
And, look, I was seventeen when I signed my first contract
And about eighteen and a half when I signed my worst contract; we hurt from that
And till this day they still distributin' our first tape
Before Comin' Out Hard, now can you feel it?
Be humble and patient with whatever you should choose
'Cause to get to where I am right now, I done paid my dues
It's a thinnin' line between wrong and right
Trapped in a trap till the mornin' light
Ghetto ain't left me no choices; I had to fight
My mama and daddy was too young to raise me right
Maybe I been made a man from all the mistakes I made
Niggas dead, niggas gone; I still ain't afraid
Ain't too grown to get back on with ghetto games I played
My life would have been done got cut off if the dues weren't paid
A c-note for a concert; I know that sounds preposterous
Nigga, we didn't have a pot to piss
So we got on stage, and we rocked the bitch
**** the cheese; I love to see my niggas in the front row
Get buck wild, start a fight; the police make a nigga stop the show
Niggas all in the parkin' lot, bustin' shots, ****in' with hos
Box Chevy with the spokes and vogues
Niggas didn't know shit about a twenty inch Mo-Mo
Hard head, young nigga don't believe that shit till I see that shit
See them heavyweight niggas; one day, I'm gonna be that shit
Okay, everybody know everybody done sold dope, ran with a gang
Pimp some hos and snorted a little coke, but, uh
I'm space again, and we'll forever be
Eightball, the fat mack, and M-J-****in'-G
Turn the page from then to now, and we still grindin'
Small clubs and small towns think they bouncin', and we find them
Put them on the guest list, make them pump their fist and get buck to this
Make one of them weed smokin', gangsta bitches get ****ed to this
Expand, give all my true fans what they demand
Do my part again and, uh, come out hard again, and, uh
Keep space again, and we'll forever be
Eightball, the fat mack, and M-J-****in'-G
It's a thinnin' line between wrong and right
Trapped in a trap till the mornin' light
Ghetto ain't left me no choices; I had to fight
My mama and daddy was too young to raise me right
Maybe I been made a man from all the mistakes I made
Niggas dead, niggas gone; I still ain't afraid
Ain't too grown to get back on with ghetto games I played
My life would have been done got cut off if the dues weren't paid

🌍 纯翻译歌词

是的,
没错,
太空时代永恒;
混球和荡妇最好认清现实
八球与MJG,在这行当里始终脚踏实地
第三句歌词
从我们在这小镇当小混混开始
兄弟,我这条命早该被斩断
若非债已偿清
善恶界限细如发丝
困在牢笼直到晨光微亮
贫民窟没给我选择余地,唯有战斗
父母太年轻未能正确引导我成长
或许所有过错让我成为真男人
兄弟死去兄弟离开,我依然无所畏惧
从未因年长而放弃街头把戏
若非偿清宿债,我生命早该终结
犯罪途中从未停止创作韵脚
从未停止玩转音乐
上帝啊,但未必非要利用它
显而易见:我必须为节奏放弃街头
虽不知要等多久,但始终怀抱信念
直到成功那天,直到有人播放我的磁带
赞叹道:"嘿,这段伴奏真带劲,你小子有潜力"
辗转于才艺秀、派对和混音带之间
甚至为兄弟出狱庆祝时也不忘表演
记得过去在快餐店打烊后
紧握梦想却自觉会是最后那个
能在说唱界出头的人,以为孟菲斯不会记住我
就像田纳西曾被世人忽视
不知嘻哈精神就在我们血液里
致敬业界前辈,保持警惕
当年我用你们45转伴奏带撑场
十七岁签下首份合约
十八岁半签了最坑那份,至今伤痛未愈
他们仍在发行我们的出道磁带
在《强势出击》之前,现在能感受吗?
无论选择什么都要谦卑耐心
因我走到今天,全凭偿清宿债
善恶界限细如发丝
困在牢笼直到晨光微亮
贫民窟没给我选择余地,唯有战斗
父母太年轻未能正确引导我成长
或许所有过错让我成为真男人
兄弟死去兄弟离开,我依然无所畏惧
从未因年长而放弃街头把戏
若非偿清宿债,我生命早该终结
百元看演出?听着荒谬
但当年我们穷得叮当响
照样登台炸翻全场
去他妈的钱,最爱看兄弟前排狂欢
引发骚动,警察逼停演出
停车场里混球们开枪泡妞
老爷车装着镀铬轮毂
那时谁懂20寸轮辋是啥
倔强少年非要亲眼见证才信
看着大佬们心想终有一天
谁没卖过粉混过帮派
拉过皮条吸过可卡因?但
我重返太空时代,永恒不灭
八球这个胖皮条客与M-J-他妈的-G
翻过篇章至今仍在拼搏
小俱乐部小城镇自以为能拦我们
把他们列入嘉宾名单,跟着节奏挥拳狂欢
让那些飞叶子的大姐头随节拍高潮
扩张版图,给真粉丝想要的一切
再次全力以赴,再次强势出击
重返太空时代,永恒不灭
八球这个胖皮条客与M-J-他妈的-G
善恶界限细如发丝
困在牢笼直到晨光微亮
贫民窟没给我选择余地,唯有战斗
父母太年轻未能正确引导我成长
或许所有过错让我成为真男人
兄弟死去兄弟离开,我依然无所畏惧
从未因年长而放弃街头把戏
若非偿清宿债,我生命早该终结
