Grown Simba-J. Cole

[00:00.00] 作词 : Jermaine Cole [00:01.00] 作曲 : Jermaine Cole [00:20.47]Now I was dreaming bout a deal at the age of thirteen
在我13岁时我就梦想签下一份唱片合约 [00:23.29]I was fiending for the meals; I ain't talking Burger King
我就是装钱的无底洞，而不是饭桶（Cole说老子说的是million不是meal） [00:26.27]Some of my niggas in the Ville all they did was serve fiends
但我的一些同乡，他们却反被贪欲吞噬 [00:28.88]**** scales, I had skills all day rehearsing
去他么的量的秤，我有自己的天赋，整天都在练习 [00:31.55]Them pretty boys had them gals, spent their time flirting
那些“精致男孩”都他们的，浪费时间在调情上 [00:34.32]All they wanted was some waves like they ****in' surfing
他们都想要WAVE头，夸张的就像真有人能在他们头上冲浪（WAVE是一种黑人发型） [00:37.28]Hold up now don’t get it twisted, I ain't hating, do your thing
先等等，别曲解我的意思，我没黑他们，我们井水不犯河水 [00:40.08]I was like a young Simba couldn’t wait to be the King
我就像年轻的辛巴，等不及要登上王位了 [00:42.75]Now, b***h, it’s the Prince
我这样的黑人也可以是王子 [00:44.42]Hopped over the fence, where the grass way greener
我已经跳过了栅栏，让自己的生活更好了 [00:47.09]Look at shorty ass, way meaner
就连我身边的女人的都更丰满了 [00:48.81]Something like Serena mixed with Trina, have you seen her
就像Serena和Trina的结合体，你能想象的来吗（这两位是丰满身材女性的代表人物，Kanye的Gold Digger中也提到了她们） [00:51.85]She fine enough to be Miss Howard, word to Adina
她甚至就跟Adina Howard一样漂亮（一位90年代的黑人女歌手） [00:54.52]My money like a senior, watch it graduate
我的钱包就像个大四学生，越来越成熟，马上就毕业 [00:56.68]Now it's time to eat
现在是大餐时间 [00:58.12]I’m letting all my niggas grab a plate
让我的兄弟们拿好盘子 [00:59.62]Gravitate to real shit , stay away from phonies
保持真实，让假的都靠边 [01:02.42]These niggas heard about me now they acting like they know me
一些人只不过听说过我，却表现得跟我有什么交情似的 [01:05.12]Keep on saying “Where you going b***h”
一直问着“你要去哪儿，老兄” [01:07.37]shit, there ain't no telling
我才不会说 [01:10.62]Ay, where you going b***h
“哎，你到底要去哪儿啊” [01:13.07]Ay, there ain't no telling
我才不会说出来 [01:15.37]They keep on saying where you going b***h going b***h
但他们还是在问“你要去哪儿啊” [01:18.35]There ain't no telling
我不会说的 [01:20.86]Can’t tell you where I’m going, just know I won't stop
你不需要知道我会去哪儿，只要记住我永远不会停下就对了 [01:24.37]Goodbye to the bottom, hello to the top
我已逃离底层，到了更高的境界 [01:27.78]Pardon the interruption
抱歉我得暂停一下 [01:29.52]A proper introduction is necessary when your shit is legendary, man
一个适当的介绍在你的作品全都超神了的时候是很有必要的 [01:33.50]Greedy niggas wouldn’t let me in the cafeteria
以前那些人甚至不让我进自助餐厅 [01:36.30]Cause they ain't believe, suddenly they Pre**yterian
因为他们不信任我，而突然他们虔诚得就像长老教会成员一样 [01:39.14]The hoes is librarians, they looking me up
妹子们也如饥似渴，疯狂地寻找着我 [01:41.46]She got a jones like Marion, she licking me up
就像Marion Jones渴望胜利一样疯狂（女短跑名将，为了冠军在奥运会使用类固醇药物，后亲口承认） [01:44.36]Then we cut, look how she say my name
回到正题，听听这妹子怎么叫我的名字 [01:46.25]I got her moaning J. Cole, they used to say Jermaine
她地喊着J. Cole, 以前她们叫我Jermaine [01:49.23]I never change, I'm like a corpse in a coffin, six feet shit 's deep
我永远不会改变，就像棺材里的尸体，深埋地下，颇有深度 [01:53.02]I was low just a dolla and some hope fixed me
我以前穷困潦倒，一块钱和一点希望就是我的一切 [01:55.52]Cause I was broke plus the shit that I would smoke would make it worser
因为我快破产了，而且该死的瘾让情况更加糟糕 [01:58.19]Lord, please let my problems disappear like Ron Mercer
上帝啊，请让我的烦恼都消失吧，就像Ron Mercer（前NBA波士顿凯尔特人球员，突然离开联盟，没有任何原因） [02:00.93]I’m a star, Converses
我就想匡威的logo一样是个明星（star） [02:02.54]Conversin' with them girls with them curves like cursive
可以每天和身材火辣的妹子聊得火热 [02:05.41]They open like curtains because my shit is unheard of
“打开”她们就像拉开窗帘一样容易 [02:08.23]Like curses on the radio
因为我的作品人们可没有在收音机里听过 [02:09.43]Same niggas used to play me though
那些以前只是玩弄我却看不上我的女人，现在喊着 [02:11.46]And now they yelling “Where you going b***h”
“你要去哪儿呢？帅哥” [02:13.84]shit, there ain't no telling
我不说话 [02:17.19]Ay, where you going b***h
“哎，帅哥你去哪儿呢？” [02:19.74]shit, there ain't no telling
我不会说的 [02:22.26]They keep on saying where you going b***h going b***h
她们还是在问“你到底要去哪儿啊” [02:25.28]There ain't no telling
我还是不说 [02:27.60]Can’t tell you where I’m going, just know I won't stop
我不会告诉你们我的目的地，你们只需要知道我不会停下来就对了 [02:31.06]Goodbye to the bottom, hello to the top
再见了贫民窟生活，美好的未来在向我招手 [02:33.72]I left the city for a minute but it's still on my back
我虽然背井离乡在外发展，但家乡永远是我坚实的后盾 [02:36.37]Told my niggas, aye I'm finna put the Ville on the map
骄傲的告诉我的兄弟们“嘿，Ville终于被标上地图了！（因为Cole的成功，更多的人知道他的家乡Fayetteville） [02:39.30]I'll be back, and I'm coming with a deal and a plaque
我会回来的，带着我的大合同还有荣誉”（Cole在纽约与Jay-Z的Roc Nation签下了合约，而且他首张录音室专辑就拿到了白金认证） [02:42.05]Cause I'm ill b***h, they couldn’t make a pill for the rap
因为我就是最强大的存在，那些弱子都没有什么能耐 [02:44.78]Pouring liquor for my niggas that was killed, send em back
缅怀我遇害的兄弟们，让他们回来吧 [02:47.48]Came home shit is real niggas still in the trap
回到家乡，现实依然残酷，黑人的生活仍然挣扎 [02:50.35]Hold up now don’t get it twisted if you slang do your thang
别着急，别把自己绕晕了，如果你和我在一边，你知道该做什么 [02:53.06]Me I'm like a young Simba I can't wait to be the King
我，就像年轻的辛巴，已经等不及要登上王位了 [02:55.90]Witness the dream
等不及亲眼看到梦想的实现 [02:57.18]Straight out that Carolina water I was brought up
在卡罗来纳州长大，现在我闯了出来 [02:59.33]In the city where the skinny niggas tryna be the ballas
在我的城市，有无数黑人想出人头地 [03:02.12]Ain't no fathers but the skinny niggas tryna hit their daughters
他们连爸爸都没有，却想上别人的女儿 [03:04.87]Sneaking in her crib but her momma never caught us
只能在她的闺房里偷偷摸摸，她妈妈却从来没有发现 [03:07.59]What they taught us men them bad b*****s only want the ballas
这说明了什么道理：那些火辣的妹子只看得上打篮球的（baller也泛指挣大钱的，下面也全都在双关） [03:10.25]The starters, we hooping now the hoes wanna guard us
我们打着篮球，那些妹子就想贴身防守我们（我们挣了大钱，妹子们就主动接近） [03:13.16]Okay, so play D, know what I mean
好好好，你好好防守吧（D：①defense防守②） [03:16.00]And I put you on the team
