Be Alive
歌词:
[English]
It feels so good to be alive
Got all my family by my side
Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried
That's why I lift my head with pride
...
I got a million miles on me
They want to see how far I'll go
The path was never paved with gold (gold)
We worked and built this on our own (own)
...
And, and can't nobody knock it if they tried (no)
This is hustle personified
Look how we've been fighting to stay alive
So when we win, we will have pride
Do you know how much we have cried?
How hard we had to fight?
(It feels so good to be alive) it feels so, so, so good
(Got all my sisters by my side) uh-huh, I got all my sisters by my side
(Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried) oh, black off if I tried
(That's why I lift my head with pride)
Uh-huh, now we're sitting on top of the world again, huh
I got a million miles on me (me)
They want to see how far I'll go (they want to see how far I'll go)
The path was never paved with gold (gold)
We fought and built this on our own
(We fought and built this on our own, own)
And, and can't nobody knock it if they tried (no)
This is hustle personified
Look how we've been fighting to stay alive
So when we win, we will have pride
Do you know how much we have cried?
How hard we had to fight?
...
(It feels so good to be alive) it feels so good, so good
(Got all my family by my side)
And we gon' sit on top of the world again
(Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried) and I wouldn't trade nothing
And I wouldn't trade nothing (that's why I lift my head with pride)
So baby, lift your head, yeah
(It feels so good to be alive)
Darling, it's a celebration for you, yeah
(I got the tribe all by my side)
You're doing everything they said you couldn't do
(Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried)
(That's why I lift my head with pride) lift your head, yeah
Ooh
(Ooh, I tried, oh)
...

It feels so good to be alive
➔ 形容词后的目的不定式

-
Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried
➔ 第二条件句 (混合)
➔ 虽然这句话在语法上并不完美，但它暗示了第二条件句的结构。 如果我尝试了，我就无法抹去这种“黑”。 "if I tried" 表示现在/将来的假设情况，而 "Couldn't wipe" 表示结果。
-
They want to see how far I'll go
➔ 间接疑问句
➔ "How far I'll go" 是一个间接疑问句，充当动词 "see" 的宾语。 词序是陈述句式的（主语 + 动词），而不是疑问句式的。
-

-
can't nobody knock it if they tried
➔ 双重否定 (非正式)
➔ 短语 "can't nobody" 是双重否定。 在标准英语中，它应该是 "can't anybody" 或 "nobody can"。 这在某些方言中很常见，并增加了强调。
-
This is hustle personified
