[中文]

外面有点冷。

我无法理解你怎么能站在那里。

...

所有那些“让我们只是朋友”的人，现在都不是我的朋友了。

当事情出错时，你怎么会不关心我？

我想我应该更努力地与家人保持更紧密的联系。

更紧密。

所有那些“让我们只是朋友”的人，现在都不是我的朋友了。

我想这就是他们说你需要家人的原因吧。

因为我再也无法依赖你了。

...

我总是看到你本可以成为的样子。

自从你遇到我之后。

就像克莱斯勒制造的那款看起来像宾利的车一样。

我总是看到你本可以成为的样子。

即使是和你谈生意，也会再次变得私人化。

我在你开始赚钱之前就认识你，现在我们却走到了尽头。

这一切都因为你选择了立场。

你应该放下你的骄傲，支持我。

我想时候未到。

当然，你选择了与我不同的立场。

...

你太容易被预测了，我讨厌像你这样的人。

肯尼迪路教会我不要信任像你这样的人。

你又怎么能理解我正在经历什么？

你甚至都搞不清楚自己发生了什么。

你在认识我之前就评判我，果然如此。

我为真正的兄弟们创作所有玩家的赞歌。

和我的父亲在田纳西州才是我该待的地方。

在洛杉矶，我不知道发生了什么。

我不知道发生了什么。

这一切都因为你选择了立场。

你应该放下你的骄傲，支持我。

我想时候未到。

当然，你选择了与我不同的立场。

...

你坐着祈祷，希望星星能连成一线。

我的好运是必然的，因为我活得很正直。

当我需要你的时候，你给不了我任何建议。

但你总是在其他时候有话说。

我在路上遇到的每个人都试图阻碍我。

我像拿着最低工资一样，为他们提供食物和服务。

上面的人一定很喜欢考验我的耐心。

上面的人一定需要一些娱乐。

原谅你的所作所为。

如果我曾经爱过你，我将永远爱你，我就是这样被教导的。

就像我仍然在这里感受着浪潮一样。

就像我每天都在意识到一样。

所有那些“让我们只是朋友”的人，现在都不是我的朋友了。

当事情出错时，你怎么会不关心我？

我想我应该更努力地与家人保持更紧密的联系。

更紧密。

所有那些“让我们只是朋友”的人，现在都不是我的朋友了。

我想这就是他们说你需要家人的原因吧。

因为我再也无法依赖你了。

更紧密。

...

任何时候有人想惹麻烦。

真的，你结束了吗？

你知道我们是谁。

我不害怕任何女人。

我也不害怕任何泼妇。

我也不害怕任何废物。

所以任何人想要都可以得到。

这就是事实。

...

[英语]

It's a little chilly out there

How you can stand there is beyond me

All of my "let's just be friends" are friends I don't have anymore

How do you not check on me when things go wrong

Guess I should've tried to keep my family closer

Much closer

All of my "let's just be friends" are friends I don't have anymore

Guess that's what they say you need family for

Cause I can't depend on you anymore

Always saw you for what you could've been

Ever since you met me

Like when Chrysler made that one car that looked just like the Bentley

I always saw you for what you could've been

And even when it's business with you it's personal again

I knew you before you made ends meet now were meeting our ends

And its all because you chose a side

You're supposed to put your pride aside and ride for me

Guess it wasn't time

And of course you went and chose a side that wasn't mine

You're so predictable I hate people like you

Kennedy Road taught me not to trust people like you

How you supposed to figure what I'm going through

You can't even figure out what's going on with you

You judge 'fore you met me yeah it figures

I make all the player's anthems for the real niggas

With my dad out in Tennessee is where I belong

Out here in L.A. I don't know what's going on

I don't know what's going on

And its all because you chose a side

You're supposed to put your pride aside and ride for me

Guess it wasn't time

And of course you went and chose a side that wasn't mine

You sit and you pray hoping that the stars align

My luck is a sure thing cause I'm living right

When I needed you, you couldn't give me any advice

But you always had something to say every other time

Everybody that I met on the way tries to get in the way

I'm fooding and serving them all like I'm working for minimum wage

Someone up there must just love testing my patience

Someone up there must be in need of some entertainment

Forgiveness for your ways

If I ever loved ya, I'll always love ya that's how I was raised

Same way I'm right here still feeling the wave

Same way I'm realizing on a day to day

All of my "let's just be friends" are friends I don't have anymore

How do you not check on me when things go wrong

Guess I should've tried to keep my family closer

Much closer

All of my "let's just be friends" are friends I don't have anymore

Guess that's what they say you need family for

Cause I can't depend on you anymore

Much closer

Anytime people want to start problems

For real are you done

You know who mans are

I'm not afraid no gyal heart man

And I'm not afraid of no catty

And I'm not afraid of no waste neither

So anybody who want it can get it

Its that fact

重点语法结构

• How you *can stand* there is beyond me

  ➔ 倒装以强调/文体效果

  ➔ 通常，句子是“How you *can stand* there…”。倒装（将“can stand”放在主语“you”之前）用于强调短语“beyond me”。

• Guess I *should've tried* to keep my family closer

  ➔ 后悔的情态动词 (should have + 过去分词)

  ➔ "Should've tried" (should have tried) 表达了说话者没有更加努力地保持家人亲密的遗憾。

• Always saw you *for what you could've been*

  ➔ 表达未实现潜力的虚拟语气完成时 (could have + 过去分词)

  ➔ "Could've been" 意味着说话者相信这个人有比他们实际实现的更大的潜力。它表达了一种失望或未实现的期望。

• Kennedy Road taught me *not to trust* people like you

  ➔ 不定式否定形式

  ➔ 使用 “not to trust” 否定了不定式 “to trust” 的动作。

• You sit and you pray *hoping that the stars align*

  ➔ 现在分词作为简化的关系从句 (hoping = 希望的人)

  ➔ "Hoping that the stars align" 用作简化的关系从句，修饰 "You"。它等同于 "You sit and you pray, who hope that the stars align"。

• If I ever loved ya, I'll always love ya that's *how I was raised*

  ➔ 被动语态 (was raised)

  ➔ 被动语态 "was raised" 表明说话者以特定的方式或特定的价值观长大。它着重于*对*说话者执行的动作。

• I'm fooding and serving them all *like I'm working* for minimum wage

  ➔ 'as if/as though' 从句中的虚拟语气 (like I were working...)

  ➔ 尽管 "like I'm working" 在非正式口语中在语法上是可以接受的，但在 "like"（或 "as if/as though"）之后表达假设或不真实情况的更符合语法的形式是虚拟语气。在这种情况下，应该是 "like I *were* working"。*were* 的使用在正式写作中或强调情况的假设性质时很常见。它暗示他工作很努力（为每个人服务），但实际上并没有获得最低工资。
