Written by：Vinia Mojica/L. Fernandez

We all got to have a place where we come from
每个人心中都有个来处
This place that we come from is called home
那个来处 我们称之为家
We set out on our travels we do the best we can
踏上旅途 我们尽力前行
We travel this big earth as we roam
在这广袤世界漂泊漫游
We all got to have a place where we come from
每个人心中都有个来处
This place that we come from is called home
那个来处 我们称之为家
And even though we may love this place on the map
纵使深爱地图上的某处风景
Said it ain't where you from it's where you at
重要的不是出身 而是你此刻驻足何方
I come up in the street around some real wild brothers
我混迹街头 与狂野兄弟为伍
With more than one name and more than one baby mother
多重身份 儿女绕膝非一人
More than one chase been on more than one run
数度逃亡 历经追捕无数
Got more than one enemy and more than one gun
仇敌环伺 枪械随身
While these cats that's less privileged is just more raw
那些贫民窟的孩子更显野性
Less space cause the projects laced with more flaws
狭小空间 破败社区处处缺陷
Less sleep cause the nights ain't peace it's more war
彻夜难眠 黑夜如战场不休
The can is raw like thirsty rainy season thunder claps
渴望如旱季惊雷般原始强烈
On the block with your old pop pleading number act
街头巷尾 与老父亲低声恳求着生计
To the spot with the red top fiends is huddled at
转角处 红顶屋前瘾君子们蜷缩聚集
To the crib where the little kids spend their summers trapped
破旧房屋里 孩童们被困在夏日牢笼
With the jungle cats lions and tigers leopards and cheetahs
如同丛林中的猎豹 狮虎与花豹环伺
For gazelle you get chased like a zebra they blaze cheerer cheerer
羚羊般被追逐 斑马般被围猎 欢呼声四起
And dominate the weaker on the street
弱肉强食的街头法则
Hungry bellies only love what they eat and it's hard to compete
饥肠辘辘者只在乎眼前温饱 生存如此艰难
When they smile with your heart in they teeth
当他们笑着将你的真心撕咬
And the odds is stacked high beyond and beneath
命运的重担压得人喘不过气
Son I been plenty places in my life and time
孩子 我这一生走过太多地方
And regardless where home is son home is mine
但无论身在何处 家永远属于我
We all got to have a place where we come from
每个人心中都有个来处
This place that we come from is called home
那个来处 我们称之为家
We set out on our travels we do the best we can
踏上旅途 我们尽力前行
We travel this big earth as we roam
在这广袤世界漂泊漫游
We all got to have a place where we come from
每个人心中都有个来处
This place that we come from is called home
那个来处 我们称之为家
We all got to have a place where we come from
每个人心中都有个来处
And even though we may love this place on the map
纵使深爱地图上的某处风景
Said it ain't where you from it's where you at
重要的不是出身 而是你此刻驻足何方
Some people live out in New York city
有人在纽约城安家
Some people live out in Atlanta
有人在亚特兰大落脚
Some people got to live Chicago
也有人终其一生在芝加哥
Some people do live Miami
有人生活在迈阿密
All my people at California
我的亲友都在加利福尼亚
And other people got to live London
还有人定居伦敦
And everybody got to live in the whole big world
而每个人都生活在这广袤世界
Together just you and me
只有你我相伴相依
When I think of home my remembrance of my beginning
每当想起家 就浮现最初的记忆
Laundromat helping ma dukes fold the bed linen
在洗衣店帮母亲叠床单的往昔
Chilling in front my building with my brother and them
和兄弟们在大楼前闲晃的时光
Spending nights in bush wick with my cousins and them
与表亲们在布什维克共度夜晚
Wise town and beat street federal relief
智慧小镇与节拍街道 联邦救济相伴
Slowly melting in the morning grits we used to eat
晨光中慢慢融化的粗玉米粥 我们曾经的早餐
Sticking to your teeth and teeth is hard to keep
黏在齿间 牙齿却难以保全
With every flavor nowlater only a dime apiece
每种滋味如今只值一角钱
Old timers on the bench playing cards and thanks
长椅上的老者们玩牌感恩
Telling tales about they used to be involved in things
讲述着他们曾参与的往事风云
Start to drinking talking loud cussing up and showing out
开始畅饮 高声谈笑 言语粗鲁 尽情放纵
On the phone call the cops pick them up move them out
电话里警察将他们带走 驱逐出门
And it's all too common to start Wilde
这种荒诞故事总在街头巷尾上演
I'm a pirate on an island seeking treasure known as silence
我像孤岛上的海盗 寻找名为宁静的宝藏
And it's hard to find
却总是遍寻不着
Block parties in dark lobbies
黑暗门廊里的街区派对
Funeral homes packed but only dark bodies
殡仪馆挤满的只有黑色躯体
I can't sleep hardly stirred up like bob Farley
辗转难眠如沸腾的鲍勃·法利
Marley marl played the symphony remember we recall
马尔利演奏交响曲的夜晚仍历历在目
Son I been to many places in my space and time
孩子 我已走过这世间的千山万水
And whatever my home is son home is mine
但无论身在何方 家永远属于我
We all got to have a place where we come from
每个人心中都有个来处
This place that we come from is called home
那个来处 我们称之为家
We set out on our travels we do the best we can
踏上旅途 我们尽力前行
We travel this big earth as we roam
在这广袤世界漂泊漫游
We all got to have a place where we come from
每个人心中都有个来处
This place that we come from is called home
那个来处 我们称之为家
And even though we may love this place on the map
纵使深爱地图上的某处风景
Said it ain't where you from it's where you at
重要的不是出身 而是你此刻驻足何方
Said it ain't where you from it's where you at
