I met you in a club in Atlanta Georgia

Said me and my homeboy were coming out with an album
我和我的兄弟准备出一张专辑
You looked at me like yeah n**ga right
你看着我，一脸不屑
But you gave me you number anyway you were on the talcum
但你还是给了我你的号码，你当时在涂粉
Powder how's about them oranges
粉扑，那些橙子怎么样
Moved away from home to school with big plans
离开家去上学，怀揣着大计划
By day studied the history of music
白天学习音乐的历史
By night just to pay for that sh*t you'd dance
晚上为了支付学费，你不得不跳舞
To get your pants was a mission impossible
为了买条裤子，简直是不可能完成的任务
We were both the same age but I
我们年纪相仿 但
Suppose wasn't on the same page but in
似乎并不在同一页 却在
The same book of life so I'd paged you when
同一本生命之书中 所以我会在
I felt you that were getting off of work
感觉你下班时联系你
Or either when you're on your way to school
或者在你上学的路上
We starting hanging like Ernie and Bert
我们开始像厄尼和伯特那样形影不离
And in my idle head I'm thinking cool
在我空闲的脑海中 我觉得很酷
Just when I think I'm going down your shirt
就在我以为我会靠近你时
You're hiking up your skirt now
你撩起裙摆
The events that followed had me volley
随后的事件让我陷入纠结
If your hometown would be heaven or hell
你的家乡会是天堂还是地狱
The angelic nastiness you possessed made you
你那天使般的邪恶让你
By far the best therefore hard to tell
成为最棒的，因此难以判断
You'd dropped me off by the dungeon
你把我丢在地牢旁
Never came in but I knew that you were wondering
从未进来，但我知道你在疑惑
Now are these n**gaz in this house up to something
现在这些家伙在屋里搞什么名堂
Selling crack sack by sacks so they could function
为了生存，我们一袋袋地卖着那些东西
Well yes and no yes we were selling it but no it wasn't blow
嗯，是也不是，我们确实在卖，但那不是毒品
Cook it in the basement then move it at a show
在地下室加工，然后在演出时卖掉
Then grab the microphone and everybody yelled â hoâ
然后拿起麦克风，所有人都欢呼起来
Meanwhile the video starts playing
与此同时，视频开始播放
Bet college radio and a van
打赌大学电台和一辆面包车
Packed full of n**gaz with a blunt in their hand
车里挤满了人，手里拿着烟
And one in their ear you know what I'm saying
耳朵里还听着音乐，你懂我的意思
But I kept your number in my old phone
但我仍把你的号码存在旧手机里
Got a new chip flip with the roam roam
换了新卡，带着它四处漫游
So it took me a minute to retrieve seven digits
花了好一会儿才找回那七位数字
But I promised I would call you when I got home
但我答应过回家后会给你打电话
But when I got home I never did
可回到家后我却从未拨通
By the time I did heard that you had a kid
等到我打过去时，听说你已有了孩子
By some n**ga in Decatur who replied see you later
是和一个在迪凯特的男人，他说了句“再见”
When he got the good news that's life sh*t
当他听到好消息时，生活真是糟透了
Now I'm nineteen with a Cadillac

My n**ga had a lex with the gold pack
我的兄弟有一辆带金色装饰的雷克萨斯
Got a plaque but I'm living with my pop pop

So I got glock and a low jack

That words only f** ked it up more follow me
那些话只会让事情变得更糟，跟着我
Are you starting to gather what I'm getting at

Now if I'm losing you tell me then I'll double back
