Then and Now (Explicit) - Chipmunk
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
From the age of 10 I used to do a paper round
十岁起我就开始送报谋生
Just so I could see the paper round
只为能亲手触摸报纸油墨香
So I could splash in the porna shop
攒下的硬币在糖果店叮当响
And buy sweets till my teeth would rot
甜到蛀牙也笑得坦荡
I used to play football I used to like dancing
踢足球时像风 跳舞时似火
Man I tried everything- even karate
空手道练了五年最终放手
After 5 years I had to pull it
人生百味总要亲自尝透
Caah blackbelt can't teach you how to dodge bullets
黑带也教不会你如何躲避子弹
I never knew what I wanted to be
我从未明确自己究竟想成为什么人
But I knew what the man above wanted for me
但我清楚上天对我的期许
They said Jehmal your smart enough to be a doctor or a lawyer
他们说杰马尔 你的聪明足够当医生或律师
But f**k that them jobs are boring
但去他的 那些工作无聊透顶
And footie's getting dry like raving
足球训练像狂欢后般枯燥
But shout out to craig hes some other kind that made it
不过要向克雷格致敬 他走通了另一条路
I don't know my profession yet- quite
我的天命职业至今仍未显现
But one day I'm gunna get signed
终有一日我会签约成名

I'm out here spending money so I gotta make it
此刻挥金如土 只为搏得前程

Things are different so

莫将这一切视作理所当然
When the money's in your hand yeaah

I might have to try this out
或许我也该试试这条路
And Dizzee Rascal's on tv now
电视上正播着迪兹·拉斯卡尔的节目

天啊 这可能是我的出路
Good at English but I hate reading

Good grades just a few exclusions
成绩优异 只是偶尔缺席
My story's inspirational
我的故事充满励志色彩
And with the right help I can execute this out to the nations
若有贵人相助 定能将这故事传遍四方
Or my words can lock down the pavement
我的词句能震撼整条街道
Skip jammas basement eskimo dance aside
跳过地下室派对 甩开寒舞人群
Winding take it straight to the big stages- That'll be amazing
一路直奔大舞台——那才叫精彩绝伦
