歌词与翻译

[中文]

噢，噢（噢）

哇，噢

耶，耶

耶，耶

耶（哎哟），嗯

曼德拉的灵魂，希望我的说唱能将其传递

让这些词句成为你的地球与月亮，你汲取每一条讯息

当我带领这支大军，为错误与抑郁留出余地

话虽如此，兄弟，让我问这个问题

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

当烂摊子砸下来时（1-2, 1-2, 1-2），嗯

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

曼德拉的灵魂，希望我的说唱能持续推进

让这些词句成为你的地球与月亮，你汲取每一条讯息

当我带领这支大军，为错误与抑郁留出余地

话虽如此，兄弟，让我问这个问题

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

何不看看你的左边和右边？确保你问问你的朋友们

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

你相信我吗？你在欺骗我吗？

我会轻易让你失望吗？你的心还在该在的位置吗？

你的微笑是永恒的吗？你的誓言是一辈子的吗？

如果我死在下一行歌词里，你知道布道场在哪吗？

如果我在法庭受审，如果业界将我抛弃

如果政府想要我的命，在我的车里塞进可卡因

你会断定我是个瘾君子，还是视我为K. Lamar？

或是质疑我的人格，在每个博客上贬低我？

想要你像爱纳尔逊那样爱我，像拥抱纳尔逊那样拥抱我

我将你从精神奴役中解放，不用谢

你告诉我我的歌不仅是首歌，它确实是一种恩赐

但先知在问你这个问题之前，算不上先知

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

何不看看你的左边和右边？确保你问问你的朋友们

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

曼德拉的灵魂，希望我的说唱能持续推进

让我的词句成为你的地球与月亮，你汲取每一条讯息

当我带领这支大军，为错误与抑郁留出余地

而这些——

你相信我吗？你有多相信她？

你觉得如果那25年的刑期降临，她会留下来吗？

你觉得当你在铁窗后痛苦受难时，他能支撑你吗？

如果你承诺做第一个，你觉得你们立场一致吗？

能在生命未终结前实现不朽吗？

即使流着相同的血，这值得花费时间吗？

比如，谁最为你着想？

比如，你有多依赖别人？

那些说爱你的人到底有多靠谱？又有谁在伪装？

当他们出卖你时，你的脸皮有多厚？

你会表现出宽恕吗？

当你因受冒犯而拍掉肩上的灰尘时，你用的是哪种刷子？

当狮子开始嘶吼时，他们把你关进了什么样的兽穴？

他们烧毁了什么样的桥梁？

当被提及此事时，你心里是否满是复仇？

你想像纳尔逊那样去爱，想像纳尔逊那样为人

你想追随他的脚步，但你却鲜少和平处世

你想被铭记为传递讯息的人

一个顾及众人福分的人

这是给所有人的教训，说吧

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

何不看看你的左边和右边？确保你问问你的朋友们

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

纳尔逊的声音，希望这段节奏能持续推进

让我的词句成为你的地球与月亮，你汲取每一条讯息

当我带领这支大军，为错误与抑郁留出余地

如果你愿意追随我，伙计

我曾被人否定过，我有被抛弃的创伤

我像糟糕的法官一样记仇，别让我怨恨你

那可不像纳尔逊——我想要你像爱纳尔逊那样爱我

我去了罗本岛进行剖析，那是他的囚室所在

这样我才能找到清醒——比如，你有多珍视我？

这段关系是虚假的，还是像天堂般真实？

你看，我必须质疑一切；家人、朋友、粉丝、猫、狗

树木、植物、草丛，风的走向，墨菲定律

X世代，我会成为你们的前任吗？

蹒跚学步的瑕疵，被比特犬的嘴撕咬

将我置于压力下，爬到岩石下，躲避你们所有人

这叫尊重，但到了明天，又会将我逼向绝境

你口口声声说需要多少领袖，然后又弃之如敝履？

是摩西？是休伊·牛顿还是底特律红？

是马丁·路德？肯尼迪？那个刺杀你的凶手？

是杰基？是杰西？哦，我知道是迈克尔·杰克逊，哦

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

那家伙给了我们《Billie Jean》，你却说他猥亵了那些孩子？

当烂摊子砸下来时，你还是个铁粉吗？

曼德拉的灵魂，希望我的说唱能持续推进

让我的词句成为你的地球与月亮，你汲取每一条讯息

当我带领这支大军，为错误与抑郁留出余地

如果你愿意追随我，伙计，让我问这个问题，伙计

...

“我记得你曾有过矛盾

误用了你的影响力

有时候我也一样

滥用我的权力，满怀怨恨

怨恨转化成了深深的抑郁

我发现自己在酒店房间里尖叫

我不想自我毁灭

露西（魔鬼）的邪恶环绕着我

所以我奔走寻求答案

直到我回到家

但这没能停止幸存者的内疚

反反复复试图说服自己，我赢得的勋章

又或者是我的基础有多扎实

但当我在城里的挚爱们还在打那场没完没了的仗时

我正在进入另一场

一场基于种族隔离与歧视的战争

这让我想要回到城里，告诉兄弟们我所学到的

那个词就是尊重

仅仅因为你穿的帮派颜色与我不同

并不意味着我不能作为一个黑人尊重你

忘掉我们在这些街头给彼此造成的所有痛苦与伤害

如果我们相互尊重，我们就能团结，阻止敌人杀害我们

但我不知道，我不是凡人

也许我只是又一个普通人”

该死，这就是我写的一切

我原本打算叫它《又一个普通人》，但它其实算不上诗

我只是觉得这是你可能会产生共鸣的东西

除此以外，既然我终于有机会和你交谈

我一直想问你关于某个情境——

关于一个隐喻，实际上，嗯，你提到过‘地面’

你那话是什么意思？地面代表什么？

地面会裂开，吞噬邪恶

没错

我就是这么看的，我一言九鼎

我明白了——地面是穷人的象征

没错

穷人将会撬开这整个世界

吞噬掉富人

因为富人将会变得如此肥胖（嗯哼）

他们会变得如此令人垂涎（嗯哼）

你明白我的意思吗，富有（没错），令人垂涎（饥饿）

穷人将会变得如此贫穷，如此饥饿

没错

你明白我的意思吗，它将会是……

你明白我的意思，它将会是……

可能会，可能会有些同类相食，在这个该死的……

他们可能会吃掉富人，你明白我的意思吗？

行，那让我问你这个

你认为自己是一个富人

还是一个充分利用了自己机会的人？

我视自己为一个天生的奋斗者

一个名副其实的奋斗者

我从一无所有做起，我抓住了机会

我做过最琐碎、最卑微的工作

并将自己建立起来，直到我拥有了这一切

我——我从被人管理

变成了我雇佣管理我的人（没错）

我改变了一切，我实现了我的命运

在五年之内，你明白我的意思吗？

我让自己成为了百万富翁（没错），我为很多人创造了数百万

现在是时候为我自己创造数百万了，你明白我的意思吗？

我为唱片公司赚了数百万（嗯哼）

我为电影公司赚了数百万（嗯哼）

现在我为我们赚钱（嗯）

通过你那多样的成功途径

你认为你是如何保持理智水平的？

通过我对上帝的信仰，通过我对游戏的信仰

以及我对“好人会有好报”的信仰

没错

你明白我的意思吗？

这发生在我身上是有原因的

你明白我的意思吗，我注意到了，该死

我做出了正确的决策，而它就这么发生了

所以，这没问题，你知道

我是说，这是个问题，但我不会让他们知道（嗯）

我要直接挺过去

你会认为自己本质上是个斗士，还是一个

只有在背水一战时才会反抗的人？

该死，我喜欢认为每一次我曾经

呃，受到威胁与抵抗的时候，我都回以了抵抗

不仅仅是我，这贯穿了我的整个家族树

你明白我的意思吗，反击已经在我的血脉里了

行，那么，你觉得还要多久，兄弟们才会说

“我们正在打一场仗，我正在打一场赢不了的仗

我想放下一切”

在这个国家，一个黑人只有大约

五年的时间可以发挥最大的力量

那就是现在，当你还是个青少年，当你还强壮的时候

当你还想健身，当你还想反击的时候

因为一旦你到了三十岁，就像是

他们从一个男人身上抽走了心和灵魂

从这个国家的黑人身上

你就再也不想战斗了

如果你不信，你可以看看周围

你再也看不到什么大吵大闹的三十岁混蛋了（嗯哼）

这太疯狂了，因为我，作为你所留下遗产的后裔之一

我可以真切地告诉你，现在只有动荡在发生，所以我想问你

你觉得我和我这一代人的未来会怎样？

我觉得伙计们已经厌倦了从商店里抢东西了

下一次暴乱的时候，那将会是——呃，真正的流血事件

我觉得美国不知道这一点

我觉得美国以为我们只是在玩耍

确实还会有些玩闹

但那将不再是玩闹

那将会是谋杀，你明白我的意思吗？

就像1831年的纳特·特纳（嗯哼），在这个混蛋国家里

你明白我的意思吗，这会发生的（嗯）

太疯狂了，伙计，依我看

我们唯一剩下的希望就是音乐和振动

很多人不明白这有多重要，你知道

有时候我站在麦克风前，我都不知道会产生什么样的能量

我会迸发出什么，或者它从哪里来

有时候这让我感到震撼

因为那是灵魂，我们甚至不是真的在说唱

我们只是让死去的兄弟们为我们讲述故事（该死）

我想最后为你读点东西

这实际上是一个好朋友写的

描述我的世界

上面写着

“毛毛虫是囚禁在孕育它的街道上的囚犯

它唯一的任务就是吞噬周围的一切

为了保护自己免受这个疯狂城市的伤害

在消耗周围环境的同时

毛毛虫开始寻找生存之道

它注意到的第一件事是这个世界有多排斥它

却赞美蝴蝶

蝴蝶代表了毛毛虫内心深处的才华、深思与美丽

但由于对生活有着严苛的看法，毛毛虫视蝴蝶为弱者

并想出办法利用它来获取自身利益

在这座疯狂城市包围下

毛毛虫开始在茧中工作

这让他制度化了

他再也看不透自己的思想，他被困住了

当被困在这些墙内时，某些想法扎了根，比如

回家，并将新的概念带回到这座疯狂的城市

结果呢？

翅膀开始显露，打破了停滞不前的循环

最终自由了，蝴蝶照亮了那些

毛毛虫从未考虑过的情况

结束了内在的挣扎

尽管蝴蝶和毛毛虫完全不同

它们本质上是同一种生命”

你对此有什么看法？

Pac？Pac？Pac？

[英语]

Oh, oh (ooh)

Whoa, oh

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah (ow), uh

The ghost of Mandela, hope my flows they propel it

Let these words be your Earth and moon, you consume every message

As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

And with that being said, my nigga, let me ask this question

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

When shit hit the fan (1-2, 1-2, 1-2), uh

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

The ghost of Mandela, hope my flows stay propellin'

Let these words be your Earth and moon, you consume every message

As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

And with that being said, my nigga, let me ask this question

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

Won't you look to your left and right? Make sure you ask your friends

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

Do you believe in me? Are you deceiving me?

Could I let you down easily? Is your heart where it need to be?

Is your smile on permanent? Is your vow on lifetime?

Would you know where the sermon is if I died in this next line?

If I'm tried in a court of law, if the industry cut me off

If the government want me dead, plant cocaine in my car

Would you judge me a drug-head or see me as K. Lamar?

Or question my character and degrade me on every blog?

Want you to love me like Nelson, want you to hug me like Nelson

I freed you from being a slave in your mind, you're very welcome

You tell me my song is more than a song, it's surely a blessing

But a prophet ain't a prophet 'til they ask you this question

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

Won't you look to your left and right? Make sure you ask your friends

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

The ghost of Mandela, hope my flows stay propellin'

Let my words be your Earth and moon, you consume every message

As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

And with that

Do you believe in me? How much you believe in her?

You think she gon' stick around if them 25 years occur?

You think he can hold you down when you down behind bars, hurt?

You think y'all on common ground if you promise to be the first?

Can you be immortalized without your life being expired?

Even though you share the same blood, is it worth the time?

Like, who got your best interest?

Like, how much are you dependent?

How clutch are the people that say they love you? And who pretending?

How tough is your skin when they turn you in?

Do you show forgiveness?

What brush do you bend when dusting your shoulders from being offended?

What kind of den did they put you in when the lions start hissing?

What kind of bridge did they burn?

Revenge on your mind when it's mentioned

You wanna love like Nelson, you wanna be like Nelson

You wanna walk in his shoes, but your peacemaking seldom

You wanna be remembered that delivered the message

That considered the blessing of everyone

This your lesson for everyone, say

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

Won't you look to your left and right? Make sure you ask your friends

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

The voice of Mandela, hope this flow stay propellin'

Let my word be your Earth and moon, you consume every message

As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

And if you riding with me, nigga

I been wrote off before, I got abandonment issues

I hold grudges like bad judges, don't let me resent you

That's not Nelson-likewant you to love me like Nelson

I went to Robben's Island analysing; that's where his cell is

So I could find claritylike, how much you cherish me?

Is this relationship a fake, or real as the heavens be?

See, I got to question it all; family, friends, fans, cats, dogs

Trees, plants, grass, how the wind blow, Murphy's Law

Generation X, will I ever be your ex?

Flaws of a baby step', mauled by the mouth of Pit bulls

Put me under stress, crawled under rocks, duckin' y'all

It's respect but then tomorrow, put my back against the wall

How many leaders you said you needed then left 'em for dead?

Is it Moses? Is it Huey Newton or Detroit Red?

Is it Martin Luther? JFK? Shooter you assassin

Is it Jackie? Is it Jesse? Oh, I know it's Michael Jackson, oh

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

That nigga gave us "Billie Jean," you say he touched those kids?

When shit hit the fan, is you still a fan?

The ghost of Mandela, hope my flows stay propelling

Let my word be your Earth and moon, you consume every message

As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

And if you riding with me, nigga, let me ask this question, nigga

"I remember you was conflicted

Misusing your influence

Sometimes I did the same

Abusing my power, full of resentment

Resentment that turned into a deep depression

Found myself screaming in the hotel room

I didn't wanna self-destruct

The evils of Lucy was all around me

So I went running for answers

Until I came home

But that didn't stop survivor's guilt

Going back and forth trying to convince myself the stripes I earned

Or maybe how A-1 my foundation was

But while my loved ones was fighting the continuous war back in the city

I was entering a new one

A war that was based on apartheid and discrimination

Made me wanna go back to the city and tell the homies what I learned

The word was respect

Just because you wore a different gang color than mine's

Doesn't mean I can't respect you as a black man

Forgetting all the pain and hurt we caused each other in these streets

If I respect you, we unify and stop the enemy from killing us

But I don't know, I'm no mortal man

Maybe I'm just another nigga"

Shit and that's all I wrote

I was gonna call it "Another Nigga," but it ain't really a poem

I just felt like it's something you probably could relate to

Other than that, now that I finally got a chance to holla at you

I always wanted to ask you about a certain situa-

About a metaphor, actually, uh, you spoke on the ground

What you mean by that? What the ground represent?

The ground is gonna open up and swallow the evil

Right

That's how I see it, my word is bond

I seeand the ground is the symbol for the poor people

Right

The poor people is gonna open up this whole world

And swallow up the rich people

'Cause the rich people gonna be so fat (mhm)

And they gonna be so appetizing (mhm)

You know what I'm saying, wealthy (right), appetizing (hungry)

The poor gonna be so poor, and hungry

Right

You know what I'm saying, it's gonna be like

You know what I'm saying, it's gonna be

There might, there might be some cannibalism out this muhfu-

They might eat the rich, you know what I'm saying?

A'ight, so let me ask you this, then

Do you see yourself as somebody that's rich

Or somebody that made the best of they own opportunities?

I see myself as a natural-born hustler

A true hustler in every sense of the word

I took nothin', I took the opportunities

I worked at the m-most menial and degrading job

And built myself up so I could get it to where I owned it

I-I went from having somebody managing me

To me hiring the person that works my management company (right)

I changed everything, I realized my destiny

In a matter of five years, you know what I'm saying?

I made myself a millionaire (right), I made, I made millions for a lot of people

Now it's time to make millions for myself, you know what I'm saying?

I made millions for the record companies (mhm)

I made millions for these movie companies (mhm)

Now I make millions for, for us (mmm)

And through your different avenues of success

How would you say you managed to keep a level of sanity?

By my faith in God, by my faith in the game

And by my faith in "all good, all good things come to those that stay true"

Right

You know what I'm saying?

And it was happening to me for a reason

You know what I'm saying, I was noticing, shit

I was punching the right buttons and it was happening

So, it's no problem, you know

I mean, it's a problem, but I'm not finna let them know (hmm)

I'm finna go straight through

Would you consider yourself a fighter at heart or somebody that

Somebody that only reacts when they back is against the wall?

Shit, I like to think that at every opportunity I've ever been

Uh, threatened with resistance, it's been met with resistance

And not only me, but it goes down my family tree

You know what I'm saying, it's in my veins to fight back

A'ight, well, how long will you think it take before niggas be like

"We fighting a war, I'm fighting a war I can't win

And I wanna lay it all down"

In this country, a Black man only have like

Five years we can exhibit maximum strength

And that's right now while you a teenager, while you still strong

While you still wanna lift weights, while you still wanna shoot back

'Cause once you turn thirty it's like

They take the heart and soul out of a man

Out of a Black man in this country

And you don't wanna fight no more

And if you don't believe me, you can look around

You don't see no loud mouth thirty-year old motherfuckers (mhm)

That's crazy, because me, being one of your offsprings of the legacy you left behind

I can truly tell you that there's nothing but turmoil goin' on so, I want to ask you

What you think is the future for me and my generation today?

I think that niggas is tired of grabbin' shit out the stores

And next time it's a riot it's gonna be like, uh, bloodshed, for real

I don't think America know that

I think America think we was just playing

And it's gonna be some more playing but

It ain't gonna be no playing

It's gonna be murder, you know what I'm saying?

It's gonna be like Nat Turner, 1831 (mhm), up in this motherfucker

You know what I'm saying, it's gonna happen (mmm)

That's crazy, man, in my opinion

Only hope that we kinda have left is music and vibrations

A lot of people don't understand how important it is, you know

Sometimes I can like, get behind a mic and I don't know what type of energy

I'ma push out or where it comes from

Trip me out sometimes

Because it's spirits, we ain't even really rappin'

We just letting our dead homies tell stories for us (damn)

I wanted to read one last thing to you

It's actually something a good friend had wrote

Describing my world

It says

"The caterpillar is a prisoner to the streets that conceived it

Its only job is to eat or consume everything around it

In order to protect itself from this mad city

While consuming its environment

The caterpillar begins to notice ways to survive

One thing it noticed is how much the world shuns him

But praises the butterfly

The butterfly represents the talent, the thoughtfulness and the beauty within the caterpillar

But having a harsh outlook on life, the caterpillar sees the butterfly as weak

And figures out a way to pimp it to his own benefits

Already surrounded by this mad city

The caterpillar goes to work on the cocoon

Which institutionalizes him

He can no longer see past his own thoughts, he's trapped

When trapped inside these walls certain ideas take root, such as

Going home, and bringing back new concepts to this mad city

The result?

Wings begin to emerge, breaking the cycle of feeling stagnant

Finally free, the butterfly sheds light on situations

That the caterpillar never considered

Ending the internal struggle

Although the butterfly and caterpillar are completely different

They are one and the same"

What's your perspective on that?

Pac? Pac? Pac?
