Testify
当我醒来，一切都已支离破碎，即使这样也没有击垮我
我不守规矩的过去历历在目，因为已经没人让我敬仰
I remember wakin' up, bein' broke but still it wasn't breakin' us
我逃课，做坏事，因为其他小孩拥有一切，我却一无所有
I remember why I broke the rules, cause I ain't really have nobody to look up to
我多么希望知道我的亲生父亲是谁，并且让他回到我的身边
I remember cuttin' class, bein' bad, cause I ain't have what them other kids had
为了那些他告诉我会出现，最终还是我一个人的孤单夜晚；为了妈妈捉襟见肘的生活；
I remember wishin' that I knew my dad, then I remember wishin' I could get him back
为了那些我渴望得到，却不能拥有的东西，我不得不接受我的爸爸已经吸毒成瘾的事实
For every night that he told me he was comin' and he didn't, for every single dollar that my mama 'nem was missin'
成长并非易事，妈妈把我赤裸裸地暴露在真实的生活面前
For every thing I wanted and was told I couldn't get it, and that I had to face it that my daddy was addicted (damn)
这不是好的经历，但好在我熬了过去。我情绪低落，流离失所，睡在兄弟的沙发上
That's right it wasn't easy growin' up, mama was exposin' us to life as she knew it
卷入麻烦，然后解决麻烦，周而复始，自从妈妈把我扫地出门，这就是我的生活状态
So we all went through it, I remember bein' down and out, sleepin, on my homie's couch
生活越来越真实，越来越真实
In & outta trouble ever since my mama put me out
没能顺利完成学业，我不得不去贩毒
Damn it's gettin real, Damn it's gettin real
为了填饱肚子，我成了一个毒贩子
Didn't graduate, I'm thinkin damn I gotta deal
拿起我的半自动手枪，上膛……好在没有什么大风大浪
So I hit da block, sellin rocks just to eat a meal
我和兄弟们在皮条客和妓女云集的地方卖大麻
So I grabbed da Glock, kept it cocked..Peace is being STILL
如果有人看起来凶神恶煞，我的兄弟也不是吃素的，掏出家伙，对付他
In da back of da tracks, my nigga's stayed wit da packs
我们每天都待在毒品交易的地方
And if a nigga was schemin', my brotha stayed with tha gat
浪女们像老鼠追着奶酪一样追着钱跑，我们就守着这群拜金婊
Yea, yea we stayed in da trap, yea everyday in da trap
我卑躬屈膝，放下一切身段，生活在光明背后的黑暗里
These ho's was chasin' da cheese, so we would stay wit da rat's
在豪车X5里，我们无所适从
And we was ridin down, dippin low, I stayed in da back
当挥霍已成无度，再多的钱我们也能挣回来
In the X5 stuntin, we ain't know how to act
和这种大胸尤物在一起，我17岁的时候想都不敢想。翻云覆雨，终究只是南柯一梦
Spendin' money like it's nothin, cuz we gone get it back
Mel说我会出人头地，我却不以为然，但是他说试一试也无妨
17 never thought that I'd be gettin dem racks, had a dream but I said I wasn't fuckin' wit that
在新奥尔良最艰难的事情就是活到25岁
Mel told me I would make it, I ain't fuckin wit that.. but he told me that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try
我醒来，一无所有，我告诉兄弟得摆脱这种困境。搬到高档的住所，一切都激励着我，灵感从未枯竭
Hardest thing out in New Orleans never see 25
听说我的兄弟被枪击，我的心都碎了，所以我一直贩毒，一直强迫自己，因为他曾告诉我让我逃离地狱一般的生活
Right then I woke up, broke out, told my nigga's had to roll out, moved to the A and got motivated,that inspiration don't run out
我不会停止奋斗，直到我有了豪宅，有了豪车，把每一天都当做最后一天去努力
Heard my brother got gunned down and it hurt me to my heart, So I kept grindin', I kept pushin', he told me to go far
所以每一天我都无所畏惧，直到让人无话可说，直到没有人挡住我的去路，我要给兄弟们指一条明路
So I can't stop at no crib, can't stop at no car, Gotta. Keep. Goin. Like there ain't no tomorrow
让真相大白天下，因为我没有必要撒谎
So I'm goin hard everyday, til I got nothin' to say, nothin' can stand in my way, I gotta stay, to show my nigga's a different way (waaayyy)
也没有必要掖着藏着，所以我要澄清
I'mma tell da truth and da whole truth, Cuz there ain't no need to lie
为了你和我，我要去澄清
And I ain't tryna keep it all inside, So I gotta TESTIFY
