这首歌送给我的干儿子以利亚和一个叫做科琳的小女孩 [00:10.339]Some say the blacker the berry,
人们说越黑的莓子， [00:12.745]the sweeter the juice，
流出的汁水就越甜 [00:13.839]I say the darker the flesh,
而我说肤色越黑, [00:15.175]then the deeper the roots，
根源越深 [00:16.777]I give a holler to my sisters on welfare，
我向那些靠救济为生的姐妹呼喊着： [00:19.173]Tupac cares if don't nobody else care，
即使没人在乎你们了也还有我在乎 [00:22.389]And uh, I know they like to beat ya down a lot，
还有，我知道他们总喜欢贬低你们 [00:25.323]When you come around the block brothas clown a lot，
走过街头时，也总有群男人戏弄你们 [00:28.015]But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up，
擦擦眼泪不哭了，千万要坚持下去 [00:30.704]Forgive but don't forget, girl keep your head up，
饶恕他们，但别忘记，昂起头来姑娘 [00:34.198]And when he tells you you ain't nothin don't believe him，
当他说你什么也不是的时候，别相信他 [00:36.917]And if he can't learn to love you you should leave him，
如果他连爱你都学不会，趁早离开他 [00:39.860]'cause sista you don't need him，
因为姐妹你根本不需要他 [00:41.736]And I ain't tryin to gas up,
我不是想给你鼓劲， [00:43.324]I just call em how I see em (you don’t need him)
我只是说出我对他们的看法（你不需要他） [00:45.474]You know what makes me unhappy is that，
你懂的，他们让我很不爽的是： [00:47.075]When brothas make babies and leave a young mother to be a pappy，
男人们四处播种，却提裤子走人抛下年轻妈妈们让她们又当爹又当妈 [00:51.089]And since we all came from a woman，
既然女性哺育了我们 [00:53.225]Got our name from a woman
女性为我们起名 [00:54.548]and our game from a woman，
我们以此为起点开启人生 [00:56.698]I wonder why we take from our women，
那我们为什么要从她们身上掠夺 [00:58.597]Why we rape our women,
为什么要玷污她们 [00:59.964]do we hate our women?
是因为我们真的憎恨女性吗？ [01:02.355]I think it's time to kill for our women，
我想是时候为女性而战了 [01:04.245]Time to heal our women,
是时候与她们和解了 [01:05.618]be real to our women，
是时候与她们坦诚相见了 [01:07.758]And if we don't then we'll have a race of babies that hate the ladies that make the babies，
如果我们不这样做，我们的下一代就会继续憎恨为他们赋予生命的女性 [01:13.355]And since a man can't make one
既然男人生不了孩子 [01:15.219]He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one，
那他就无权决定女性在何时何地孕育生命 [01:18.698]So would the real men get up?
真男人们会站出来吗 [01:20.839]I know your fed up ladies,
女士们，我知道你们已经受够了 [01:23.247]but keep your head up，
