听好了，混乱充斥着我的成长历程 [00:51.00]Got introduced to the game, got a ounce and f****n' blew up

彻夜加工着，Biggie Smalls想要平步青云，成为黑人中的Frank White 【Biggie Smalls和Frank White都是The Notorious B.I.G.的别名】 [01:00.22]We had to grow dreads to change our description
我们需要通过改变外观来改变警察对我们的印象 【dreads指dreadlocks 雷鬼音乐的象征式发型】 [01:03.37]Two cops is on the milk box missin'
因为我们让两个警察失踪了 【美国人通常会在牛奶盒上印寻人启事】 [01:06.29]Show they toes, you know they got stepped on
很明显，那两个警察被我们杀死 [01:09.04]A fistful of bullets, a chest full of Teflon

那些爱慕虚荣之人亡我之心不死 [02:18.56]A couple of movies, now the whole world's tryna to screw me
我拍摄了很多部电影，现在整个世界都要把我的内心扭曲 【'A couple of movies"指Tupac从1991年起参与拍摄了几部电影】 [02:21.00]Even the cops tried to sue me, so what can I do?
甚至连警察都要找个理由把我告上法庭，所以我应该怎么办？ [02:24.20]But stay true, sippin' 22's of brew
只能保持真实，饮酒度日 [02:26.58]And now media is trying to test me

我的朋友已经二进宫了，这次又被逮捕 【加利福尼亚州是美国第一个实行“三振出局法”的州，一个人三次犯罪之后一般都会被判处无期徒刑】 [02:40.81]He screamed "Thug Life!" and emptied the clip
他高喊着“Thug Life”，跟警察拼尽全力 [02:43.32]Got tired of runnin' from the police
对于逃离警察追捕，我们已力不从心 [02:44.88] [02:45.00]And I wonder if they'll laugh when I'm dead?
我想知道当我离去之时，他们是否会为此而感到开怀？ [02:49.21]Why am I fighting to live if I'm just living to fight?
为何我依旧为生存而奋斗，如果生存的意义只在于奋力拼搏？ [02:55.49]Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
为何我依旧竭力远眺，尽管视线中空无一物？ [03:01.01]Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?(They wanted a new regime.)
为何我依旧尝试着给予，尽管没有人会给我机会？ （Tupac:他们想要一个新的政权） [03:06.53]Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?(And my regime includes East coast, includes West coast.)
为何我依旧向死而生，如果我活在世上只是为了等待死亡？ （我的统治遍及东西海岸） [03:12.28] [03:12.48]The Notorious B.I.G. [03:13.00]I was more shocked than anything, you know what I'm saying?
（Tupac出事之后）我比任何人都惊讶，你知道吗？ 【以下内容出自1996年Tupac逝世之后The Notorious B.I.G.接受的采访】 [03:16.13]But I wasn't more shocked of him dying
但是我最初对此并不惊讶 [03:19.75]I was more shocked of him... Pac is a strong dude, yo
我对于他的死更加惊讶，因为Pac是一个强壮的人 [03:24.00]I know dude, you know what I'm saying? Real strong
我了解他，你知道吗？他真的很强壮 [03:27.00]So when they was like he got shot, I was just more like, "Again?" you know what I'm sayin'?
所以说当我听到他们说Tupac遭到枪击的时候，我的反应是“怎么又有这种传闻？”【Tupac在此前曾几次遭到枪击】 [03:31.20]He always getting shot, or shot at
他总是被枪击，或者枪击别人 [03:33.16]He going to pull through this one again
我觉得他这次能像以前一样活下来 [03:34.88]Make a few records about it, and it's going to be over
对于这件事的记录很少，然后一切都结束了 【Tupac的死因至今未清楚】 [03:37.20]You know what I'm saying? But when he, when he died
你知道吗？但是当他去世的时候 [03:39.10]I was just like, "whoa", you know what I'm saying?
我说“Whoa!”你明白我的意思吗？ 【Biggie对此也感到很惊讶】 [03:42.00]Kinda took me by
这件事对我打击很大 [03:43.76]I mean even though we was going through our drama
我的观点是，尽管我们此前恩怨难了 [03:45.54]I would never wish death on nobody, you know what I'm sayin'
我不希望任何人死亡，你知道吗？ [03:47.42]Because there ain't no coming back from that
因为死亡之路一去不复返
