American Dream - August Alsina

American Dream - August Alsina
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Ever since day one
从最初的那天起
Somebody probably say you wouldn't be nothin'
就有人断言你终将一事无成
I bet they told you this over
我打赌这些话你听了
And over again on repeat like a re-run
一遍又一遍 像循环播放的旧电影
Nobody ever told you you could live up
从未有人告诉你 你能实现
To anything you want don't give up
任何梦想 别轻言放弃
They rather tell you you're destined for failure
他们只会说你注定失败
That's what they tell you
这就是他们的陈词滥调
But you just say
但你只是说
What about martin
马丁·路德·金呢
What about garvey
马库斯·加维呢
What about rosa
罗莎·帕克斯呢
What about malcolm
马尔科姆·X呢
What if somebody told 'em they would never be nothin'
若有人告诉他们永远一事无成
And they believed this think about the outcome
而他们信以为真 想想会是怎样
Would we even be the way we are today
我们还能成为今天的模样吗
Even if it weren't could have been a harder way
纵使前路荆棘遍布
Even though we lost a lot of people on the way
虽曾失去众多挚友
Had to sacrifice to get us in a better place
唯有牺牲方能抵达理想彼岸
I hope you listen to these wizzords
愿你聆听这智慧箴言
All they want us thinking about is sipping on some sizzurp
他们只想让我们沉溺迷幻
And they got us thinking something better we don't deserve
让我们自认不配更好人生
And that we shouldn't try it's no use
劝我们放弃尝试
But that couldn't be further from the truth
但这绝非事实真相
Don't believe it that's what they told me too
别相信那些人对我说过的话
When I was growing up they told me
在我成长路上他们总这样讲
They told me that I wouldn't make it too far
他们说我永远都走不到远方
And when I got a little older
当我渐渐长大成熟些的时候
They told me they told me yeah
他们还是这样对我说
That I wouldn't be anything
说我注定一事无成
That's what they told me they told me
这就是他们反复对我说的话
When we were little ones
当我们都还年少时
That's what they told me they told me
这就是他们反复对我说的话
We're supposed to be kings and queens
我们本该成为王者与女王
That's what they told me they told me they told me
这就是他们告诉我的 他们反复这样说
When we don't believe them
当我们不再相信这些谎言
That's what they told me they told me
这就是他们反复对我说的话
Trying to live the american dream
追逐着所谓的美国梦
They see the ballers and celebrities
他们眼中只有球星和名人
As a reminder of the people they would never be
却永远成为不了那样的人
Jealousy got them sick without a remedy
嫉妒让他们病入膏肓却无药可医
Thinking when I die nobody's gonna remember me
以为我死后终将被世人遗忘
I was told that nobody care
曾被告知无人会在意
So the dreams that I had turned to nightmares
于是我的美梦都化作梦魇
Cause this thing called life really ain't fair
因为这所谓人生本就不公
Need help but it ain't there
渴求援手却无人应答
See you know it's really hard to stay dedicated
要知道保持专注谈何容易
When the bottom screaming they was never educated
当底层嘶吼着从未受过教化
On the come up getting high just to medicate it
在成长路上借云雾麻痹伤痛
Cause the teachers just told him he would never make it
只因师长断言他永无出头之日
Now he feeling like he made it cause he stuck in paper
如今困在钞票堆里自以为成功
But probably won't let him spend the money later
却不知未来能否真正支配这些财富
Nobody ever told us we could be greater
从未有人告诉我们能超越平凡
To everybody on the ground in the paper chasers
致所有匍匐追逐铜臭的众生
I hope you listen to these wizzords
愿你聆听这智慧箴言
All they want us thinking about is sipping on some sizzurp
他们只想让我们沉溺迷幻
And they got us thinking something better we don't deserve
让我们自认不配更好人生
And that we shouldn't try it's no use
劝我们放弃尝试
But that couldn't be further from the truth
但这绝非事实真相

They'd rather see me in jail you're never gonna be s**t
他们想看我锒铛入狱 断言我终将庸碌
Everybody die you ain't s**t
众生终有一死 你也不过尘埃
But not everybody lives but not that somehow
但并非所有人都真正活过 而我们终将不同
We gotta get out of this
我们必须挣脱这困境

你何时对我说过那些*话
You just gotta tell yourself
你只需对自己说
That somehow I'mma make it
无论如何我终将成功
