How many days we gonna live our life struggling on the streets 多少天，我们要过我们的生活挣扎，在街道上

How many days we gotta live our life searching for a way to eat 我们有多少天得活我们的生活寻找一种吃

You gotta stay down stay down just to see a brighter day 你得停留下来停留下来正好看到一个更光明的一天

Stay down stay down just to live a better way 停留下来停留下来只是为了过上更好的办法

Stay down stay down just to live a brighter day 停留下来停留下来只是为了过上更美好的世界

Stay down stay down just to live a better way 停留下来停留下来只是为了过上更好的办法

   

[Verse 1: Flashy] [诗歌1 ：华而不实]

How many blacks gotta die by the hands of another 有多少黑人被他人手中得模

Don't you understand that man's the same color so that man is your brother 难道你不知道那个人是相同的颜色，这样的男人是你的兄弟

That's what happens when that man is from the gutter 这时候，这名男子是从阴沟里发生了什么

And that man is a hustler trying to survive, moving grams of that butter 那人是骗子想生存，移动克的黄油

See, his momma was a dope fiend, poppa was a rolling stone 你看，他的妈妈是一个吸毒者，波帕是一个滚动的石头

he never knew what family was he grew up in a broken home 他从来不知道他是在一个破碎的家庭长大的家庭是什么了

Ever since twelve years old he was known as grown 自从十二岁那年，他被称为成年

'cause ever since twelve years old he was on his own “引起自从十二岁的他是在他自己的

And even though it seemed like school was the best plan 即使它看起来就像学校是最好的计划

his only choice was distributing the rock like Def-jam 他唯一的选择是像分发DEF-果酱岩

While everybody else was getting diplomas 而其他人是越来越文凭

he graduated from the middle of the strip to the corner 他从带材的中间刻度对角

But I don't knock him cause he tryin to bubble 但我不敲他的事业，他试着泡

there's no food on the table, the rents past due and that's why he hustles 还有桌上没有食物，逾期租金，这就是为什么他催促

and I ain't sayin that its right to be dealin 我是不是在说，它的权利是戏份

All I'm sayin is I feel him I guess 所有我在说的，我觉得他，我猜

I just see eye 2 eye wit his struggle you know 我刚看到眼睛2眼他机智的斗争，你知道

Now baby girl's got a promising future 现在，女婴的得到了一个充满希望的未来

But her moms passed away while she was younger and her father's a loser 但她的母亲去世了，而她年轻，她的父亲是个失败者

He'd always abused her but what else you expect from a coward 他总是虐待她，但什么你是个懦夫期待

He wasn't even proud when she got accepted to Howard 他甚至不是骄傲的时候，她被录取了霍华德

And even though she loves college everyday it would stress her 而且即使她喜欢的大学每天会强调她

but it wasn't cause of exams or she hate her professor 但它不会造成考试或她恨她的教授

it was her financial situation here she couldn't pay a semester 正是在这里她的财务状况，她无法支付一个学期

And the only means of making it better was totally reversing the role 更好地使其成为唯一的手段是完全颠倒的角色

lap dancing working that pole even though deep down its hurting her soul 脱衣舞的工作是极即使在内心深处的伤害，她的灵魂

And even if it meant taking off her clothes 而且即使这意味着脱她的衣服

she was down for what ever to help her accomplish her personal goals 她是倒了什么都帮她完成她的个人目标

And I ain't trippin off a-how shortie livin 而我的脚步并不轻松掀起，如何shortie活着

She gotta pay her tuiton put food in the kitchen and that's why she strippin 她必须付出她的tuiton把食物在厨房里，这就是为什么她strippin

and I ain't sayin I agree with her job but shit times is hard 我是不是在说我同意她的工作，但大便次数为硬

I guess I just see eye to eye with her vision you know 我想我只是看见眼睛注视她的眼光，你知道

Now see the moral of the story is this 现在看到这个故事的寓意是这

if you ain't tryin to help stop our troubles then don't knock our hustle 如果你不试着帮助阻止我们的麻烦那就不要敲我们的喧嚣

but you always got something to say 但你总是有话要说

Yeah that's right I'm talking to you come try to sleep in our beds 是的这是正确的，我跟你说话快来试试我们的床睡

eat off our plates, take a walk in our shoes 吃了我们的盘子，把我们的鞋散步

look at the world from our view try to live by our rules 看看我们的世界观试图通过我们的规则生活

drink the same water we do, put your kids in our schools 喝同样的水，我们做什么，把你的孩子在我们学校

I guarantee you won't maintain your health you'll probably try to end it all 我保证你不会保持你的健康，你可能会试图结束这一切

and hang yourself or bang yourself 并挂自己或自己的一声

You couldn't possibly understand all pain we felt 你不可能理解我们觉得所有的痛苦

and without folding your hands play the games we dealt 和不折手打，我们处理的游戏

I'm being real I ain't tryin to be evil 我是真正的我是不是试着以恶

Look how we live, look how ya'll live 你看我们如何生活，看看你们大家怎么活

c'mon be serious how is we equal 拜托，是多么严重的是，我们等于

Matter fact I feel I'm wasting my time 其实我觉得我在浪费我的时间

Ya'll never gonna see eye to eye with my people you know 使你们永远不会看到的看法与我的人，你知道
