PROM/KING-Saba

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Saba/John Walt/Dylan Frank/Daoud Anthony [00:00.32]This remind me of before we had insomnia
这让我回想起当年不会失眠的日子 [00:02.91]Sleepin' peacefully, never needed a pile of drugs
安稳的睡不需要靠那一堆安眠药 [00:05.96]Everybody was college-bound, no dollar amounts
所有人都准备去上大学，不为钱苦恼 [00:08.75]In God we trust, senior year my prom ain't had no party bus
高三那年我的毕业舞会甚至没有排队巴士 [00:11.58]My cousin hit me on Facebook, like "What shorty you takin'?"
我表哥在脸书上找我：“你要带哪个小妞去舞会” [00:14.60]I'm lyin', I'm playin', I'm sayin',
我开始撒谎，我开始伪装，我说 [00:16.26]"I got one to take," and I'm waitin' on her response
“我找到了一个”其实我在等她的回复 [00:18.86]Wrote her a 3 page letter, it's 3 days later,
给她写了个3页的情书，3天后 [00:21.49]Never hit me back, she broke my heart
她仍未回复，伤透了我的心 [00:23.10]So now he IM'ing me shit like, "Yo' is shorty bad?"
现在表哥私信问“长得漂亮吗？“ [00:25.96]I pretend not to be depressed, she never wrote me back
我假装自己并不伤心，但她没有回复我 [00:28.94]I hit him back like 'Yo', well **** her, it's on to the next
我答道”不管了，反正后面还有更好地“ [00:31.89]I wrote that message thinkin' I'm awkward,
我写着这条信息心里贼尴尬 [00:33.61]Prolly would never have sex
可能这辈子都不会有机会了吧 [00:35.00]You know in high school, 16 you prolly late
你知道在高中，16岁都算晚了 [00:37.53]My cousin hit me back, "Don't trip, bro. I got you a date."
我表哥回复“别担心兄弟，我给你找了个美女” [00:40.62]So he sent me this link to some girl I had never seen
然后他给我发了个没见过的女孩的脸书 [00:43.38]He said to call and tell her "Walter sent you, you with me."
他说“告诉她是walter介绍的” [00:46.47]I think about it for a minute, like what's his intentions?
我想了想表哥的动机 [00:49.33]I mean, we never really got along or used to kick it
因为我们从来都没有关系很好，甚至有时疏远 [00:52.25]In fact, if I remember vividly, he picked on me
事实上，假如我记得没错的话，他曾经针对我 [00:54.97]He used to beat me up and take my sneakers every family visit
打我，甚至在每次家庭聚会的时候偷我的球鞋 [00:57.99]I'm skeptical to let her know I'm Walter little cousin
我有点不愿意让那个女孩知道我是walter的表弟 [01:00.79]What if this shit all a joke, then again, what if it wasn't?
这一切都是恶作剧吧，但假如不是呢？ [01:03.76]Would I really risk the chance of me potentially ****ing
我真能放弃一个可能上了 [01:06.59]On some stranger daughter
不认识的小妞的机会吗？ [01:07.70]'Cause I barely know if I can trust him?
就只是因为我不知道自己能不能相信表哥？ [01:09.58]Prolly not
可能不会，我要抓住机会 [01:12.30]I finally called her, tell her Walter sent me, "My name Tahj"
终于我打给了她，告诉她我和walter的关系，“我叫Tahj” [01:15.05]She asked me what's the color scheme that we gon' wear to prom
她问我“我们应该穿什么颜色的衣服去舞会？” [01:17.74]I'm actin' like I'm not excited, tryna play it off
我假装自己不兴奋，强装镇定 [01:20.61]"So what's the car we're takin'?"
“所以我们开什么车去呢？” [01:22.11]"Worst come worst, my mom can take us"
“实在不行的话，我妈可以带我们” [01:24.02]I'll call Walter, thank him,
我告诉walter，感谢了他 [01:25.11]He said don't trip and just wear black
他说“别紧张，黑色的衣服挺好的” [01:26.76]He said she cool and they go back,
“她是个好人，我们很早之前就认识了” [01:28.20]If any problems, send him back
“假如有任何问题，和我联系就好” [01:29.49]I never had to, but now we're in tune
我并没有联系walter关于任何问题，但是我们仍保持联系 [01:32.51]He Facebook messaged me like, "Sorry not to be a nuisance..."
他脸书上问我“不想让你扫兴” [01:35.77]But he like 30 dollars short on all his prom suit shit
但是我准备舞会还需要大概30刀 [01:38.58]I'm like, "I got you, cuz. That's the least that I can do."
我说“没问题老哥，这是我能做的” [01:41.19]He tell me send him the addy and he'll slide after school
他让我给了他个地址，下课他就来 [01:44.15]I'm like, "Ok, bet," never knew where he stayed at
我说“没问题”，但我从来不知道他平时住哪儿 [01:46.78]He walked down the street, hella surprised,
他从街道走来，很震惊 [01:48.57]"This where y'all place at?"
“原来表弟你们住这儿？” [01:49.70]Uncle Carl, Auntie Deborah, my cousin Rena
Carl叔叔，Deborah阿姨还有表妹Rena [01:52.47]And I'm surprised too, my family knew, kept this a secret
我也很震惊，原来我的父母并没有告诉walter我们家在哪儿 [01:55.53]Me and cuz stay down the street, living different lives

他每天只能搭巴士，我有人能开车送我 [02:01.55]I gave him 30 on the porch, he never went inside
在门廊前给了他30刀，他并没有进我的家门 [02:04.46]He tell me, "Thank you," then he walked back home with a smile
他说“谢谢”，然后笑着走回家了 [02:07.38]He tryna hide it, but I see his dimple
