Coming To America
来到美国
This K'naan
这是knaan
This goes out to anybody that's ever had to leave their home
这首歌献给那些被迫漂泊异乡的人们
I came out of a killer, neighborhood called River
我以杀手自称,临河而居
Where life expectancy is shorter than a caterpillar
生活如行尸走肉,希望渺茫
I was once a guerrilla, Mogadishu was my cage
我曾是黑帮小子,Mogadishu是我的家乡
My trainer was the gauge, AK was my baby sitter
不用大脑思考,用暴力代替言行
While we be out and looting, the whole city wasshooting
我们外出抢掠,城镇鸡犬不宁
I know it's fucked up but somehow, that sound becamesoothing
这毫无人性,我懂,但我却沉醉如此,不能自拔
Niggas heard African rappers and thought about them umfufu
黑兄弟们听说非洲说唱的那一套
You superman, tell the real soldier boy come to shootyou
你好大胆子,让条子来教训你
Sexual intercourse with your ear nigga
黑鬼们你们最好听着
F**k what you heard, yeah nigga
忘了你的听闻,老兄
Come walk in the dark no fear nigga
来吧,往黑暗深处走吧
It's a drought in my eyes no tear nigga
我的眼里不再常含泪水
Working inmalaria, your hood can't really compare here
在Malaria,工作苦不堪言
Got cheese,they rally love daily yeah
带好钞票,他们爱拦路打劫
Come near here, I'm daring ya
到这来,我会恐惧
I'll shoot you not being afraid
我会毫不留情地杀掉你
Life gave me a rock and a lemonade
生活让我尝遍酸甜苦辣
Blew up my school in the 8th grade while playing catchwith a hand grenade
8年级时,我用手榴弹炸毁了校园
Yeap, that's a true story, this ain't Hollywood glory
对,这是真实的故事,不是好莱坞金奖
I ain't the prince of Zamunda dog, my life is too gory
我不是Zamunda的王子,我的生活充满血腥
I'm tired of always going through barriers
厌倦了道路上的机关算计
I just wanna live a good life
只求平静生活

Now my second home city, what can I say
我落户城市,无言以对
It took my f**king heart from me
它带走了我的心
I played the judge part pardon if I'm larceny
在法庭上戏弄法官
Oh yeah, that mean it never got no bars from me
对,那意味着我不再逍遥法外
T-dot O to the motherf**kering dot B
And the Rexdale project
那些在Rexdale(赌城名)的勾当
Fuck puck but it ain't no hockey
并非儿戏

I know, everyone in the world, got his problems
每人难免都有困难
Everybody got a dream, of the green, to dollars
也都有梦想,或为金钱
But some of us are dying in the streets can you figureout
但总有人在追梦途中折翼,你得知道
Even in America the hoods need a ticket out
即使在物欲横流的美国也如此
