有哪些歌詞好的英文 Rap？

---

很喜歡那首痞子阿姆寫給自己女兒的《知更鳥》，也就是Mockingbird。

---

怒答。

最近相當愛的一首老歌。

Fort Minor的remember the name。

最開始是被這首歌很燃的旋律給吸引到了，聽得我是那個熊熊烈火焚身啊，後來越來越喜歡高潮時歌詞的那個韻律，就查歌詞，被歌詞那個@#*....+%怎麼說呢?氣勢或美感吧（求漢語達人幫我想個更好的詞）給刺激到了，

Who the hell is he anyway?

他到底是怎樣的人？

He never really talks much

他從來話都不多

Never concerned with status but still leavin" them star struck

也從不關心什麼身份地位 雖然人們都崇拜他

Humbled through opportunities given despite the fact

他謙遜地等待機會的到來

That many misjudge him because he makes a livin" from writin" raps

儘管很多人都誤解他 因為他以創作rap為生

Put it together himself, now the picture connects

他自己把歌曲組合 於是畫面展現

Never askin for someone』s help, or to get some respect

他從不尋求別人的幫助 或者為了獲得什麼尊重

He』s only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach

他只專註於他的創作 他的意志超越了極限

現在一切都呈現出 一個藝術家的技巧

This is twenty percent skill

這是20%的技巧

Eighty percent beer

80%的啤酒

Be a hundred percent clear cause Ryu is ill

100%明顯的Ryu很棒

這一段是我比較喜歡的，塑造了一個不問喧囂，潛心音樂製作的一個酷炫吊炸天的獨行俠的形象，而且那個20%技巧那裡寫的就是一個完全沉醉在音樂中但是製作音樂又輕輕鬆鬆的天才啊！對這種隨性靈動天才算是大愛了。（聽說這歌當年是跟科比有關係?有知道的大神給普及下，個人覺得無論是旋律還是歌詞都很符合渣科的氣質啊！）

然後。。。

This is ten percent luck,

10%的運氣

Twenty percent skill

20%的技巧

Fifteen percent concentrated power of will

15%的集中注意力

Five percent pleasure,

5%的快樂

Fifty percent pain

50%的痛苦

And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

和100%的理由記住這個名字

無論是從氣勢還是韻律，或者是它的哲理性，各個角度顯示。。。

這一段完全可以被稱為一首詩了。

附上歌詞：

You ready?! Lets go!

準備好了？一起來吧！

Yeah, for those of you that want to know what we』re all about

送給那些想知道我們的人

It』s like this y』all (c』mon!)

（我們）就像這樣

[Chorus]

一看奶爸提的這個問題，我就比較有興趣來回答一下，因為我從高中開始，到現在大學畢業，自認為用興趣提高英語水平（尤其是口語）的方法竟然是rap，沒錯，我這幾年多多少少還是聽了一些，而且會比較關注其中一些的歌詞，所以，在此說說我之所見

Eminem

已經看到好多人推薦eminem與2pac為代表的硬核歌詞，尤其是eminem早期的音樂，歌詞充斥著黃頭小子對於世界的憤懣，所以，上乘質量的歌詞比較多見。而在這裡，我卻要推薦前兩年紅極一時的《I Need a Doctor》，此曲的歌詞出彩的原因不在於嚴謹的韻腳，不在於深刻的社會反射，而在於阿姆完全發自內心對於Dr.Dre的感情，尤其是基於Dr.Dre剛剛失去兒子的那種鼓勵「Get up Dre, I』m dying I need you, come back for f-cks sake「，其作為Verse 2的收尾，鏗鏘有力，這種不需辭藻堆砌的情感，簡直了。另外，私認為Dr.Dre在verse 3 中以深沉之音演繹的歌詞，同樣富有一種惺惺相惜之念。

其實，Eminem的歌詞風格我認為在美國rap界，其實不算主流的，所以接下來我還想介紹一些主流黑人rapper因歌詞而在我心中加分 。

1.Lupe Fiasco

此貨陽光向上，寫了很多激勵黑人同胞的歌曲。而他的歌詞以多重韻腳而出名，所以迷戀此feel的同學絕對不能錯過，而且韻腳的運用豐富多彩，基本無重複。以下我貼出他在歌曲《Letting Go》中Verse 2最後的一段歌詞：

Magnify the euphony, alibi the shootin" spree

Amplify the revolution, sanitize the lunacy

Strip away the justice, justify the scrutiny

I can see the lasers shootin" out of you and me

不像我們通常理解的單一韻腳，基本上在每一個分句的第一個單詞，也組成了相似的發音，使得一首一尾互相不斷呼應，極其增強了節奏感。具體為，」Magnify, Alibi, Amplify, Sanitize, Justify「組成第一詞韻，而」Euphony, Spree, Lunacy, Scrutiny, Me「組成每一分句的韻腳。更為出彩的是，有沒有發現，「shootin, revolution, lunacy, scrutiny, shootin」都毫不例外地包含了「u」音，就是這個feel，倍兒爽。。。

這樣的歌詞技巧其實不算罕見，也不算艱深，但Lupe Fiasco在其許多作品中的運用可以說已到爐火純青的地步，怪不得大佬Jay-Z在評價時說道，Lupe Fiasco的文字遊戲令其興奮。。。

再者，Lupe在其韻腳熟練的運用之下，更好地詮釋了他想要表達的比喻，使許多喻體與主題環環相扣，再加上我剛開始說的，這小哥的歌曲有點力量感，所以我喜歡。

2.Jay-Z

既然Lupe Fiasco都得到了Jay-Z的表揚，那說明大佬Jay-Z對歌詞的理解還有有一定見地的。而我呢，則發現Jay-z的歌詞有一個特點，就是--他喜歡與歷史人物齊名！！就好像，李毅大帝「我的護球像亨利」一樣的趕腳，當然這只是純調戲。Jay-z大叔可把這個特點發揮到淋漓盡致，所以加之他本身大佬范兒十足的模樣，足矣hold住本就霸氣十足的歌詞。不多說，以《No Church in the Wild》為例分析一下：

這首歌作為Jay爺與坎爺聯名專輯《Watch the Throne》的開頭篇，完美地詮釋了什麼是穿越歷史，放眼未來的王者之氣。尤其是Jay-z的Verse，更是如此：

Tears on the mauseoleum floor

Blood stains the coliseum doors

Lies of the lips of a priest

Thanksgiving disguised as a feast

Rollin" in the Rolls-Royce Corniche

Only the doctors got this, I"m hidin" from police

Cocaine seats

All white like I got the whole thing bleached

Drug dealer chic

I"m wonderin" if a dove"s prayers reach

It"s pious Pius, the god loves Pius

Socrates asks, "Whose bias do y"all seek?"

Or for Plato, the screech

I"m out chere ballin", I know you hear my sneaks

Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy, he lay beats

Hova flow the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats

Preach

是不是很顯眼地看到了蘇格拉底與柏拉圖呢？我去，這一抬，早已拋去了gangster, woman, money,hustler之輩的炫耀了好么？ 爺玩的是思想！能與古希臘的兩大哲學家平起平坐，甚屌不？

然則這樣的歌詞，只是Jay-z王者之氣的冰山一角，但確實，在rap界並不是所有人都能有這樣的底氣去寫出如此恢宏的辭藻。當你聽慣了歌詞中充斥著女人、槍支、幫派、毒品，再面對Jay-z，何能無動於衷。

所以，極其推薦Jay-z以《No Church in the Wild》為首的恢宏之作。

3.Macklemore

作為新晉格萊美rapper中的最大贏家，我能從他的歌詞中體會到美國說唱界少有的「深思之氣」，略帶著一絲文藝、一絲正義、一絲快樂與悲傷。

以下我拿他那紫的發黑的專輯《The Heist》來簡要分析

首先是開篇曲：《Ten Thousand Hours》

我去，這不是大名鼎鼎的「一萬小時理論」嗎？光從標題我就被震驚了，再一細翻歌詞，果然以動情和充滿正能量的文風描述著自己奮鬥成為一名「true artist」的心愿與決心。

從第一首開始，Macklemore犀利且別具一格的歌詞一發而不可收拾，尤其在「Same Love」中對於同性戀的觀點表達極其政治正確，給你的感覺，是他非常擅長於拿捏文字的均衡，使人的情緒恰到好處。 所以，全碟推薦。

除此之外，Nas作為早已名噪一時的流浪詩人，其歌詞絕對存在出彩的地方。但本人聽的不多，請大神求教。

其他的嘛 暫時想不起來了，其實這幾年聽rap越來越少的一個原因便是，很多歌的歌詞太水，光有好的beat有毛用，無法融合主題的靈魂，則永遠無法達到一首佳作的水準。

Empire State of mind，還有Eminem的Stan也不錯

======================

然後其實我是來關注問題的 ……^ ^

為毛全是阿姆的歌！！！雖然我也很喜歡阿姆，但是其他有好多的我都很喜歡啊啊啊！！！！由於篇幅有限，我只節選我最喜歡的幾句。個人比較喜歡故事性的rap，有些裡面黑幫元素比較多，黑話無數，所有歌詞和解釋來自Rap Genius。 渣翻譯輕噴。

1） Coolio Ft. LV - Gangster"s Paradise

人在江湖，身不由己。這首歌語氣道盡了在黑幫橫行的地方長大的無奈和心酸。前途渺茫，生死無常，就這樣淡淡道出。全曲沒有任何粗口。

歌詞節選：

Look at the situation, they got me facing"

I can"t live a normal life, I was raise by the street

So I gotta be down with the hood team,

Too much television watching got me chasing dreams

I"m an educated fool with money on my mind

Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye

I"m a loc"d out gangster, set tripping banger

and my homie is down, so don"t arouse my anger, fool

Death ain"t nothing but a heartbeat away

I"m living life do-or-die-a , what can I say?

I"m twenty-three will I live to see twenty-four

The way things is going I don"t know.

這是他們逼我面對的現實：

我吃百家飯長大，無法做一個普通人。

所以我只能跟道上的弟兄們一起混。

電視上的種種（黑幫片）讓我盲目地追逐夢想。

我滿腦子都是錢，是一個被教唆的傻子，

拿著我的Mac 10 衝鋒槍，眼冒青光。

我是幫中的一員，幫派火併時的打手。

弟兄們也跟我一樣，所以你別惹毛我。

生與死的距離只差一下心跳。

如果雙手不要沾滿血腥，我將直面死亡，這我又能說什麼呢？

今年我23歲，我會活到24歲么？

以後會怎樣，我不知道。

2) Grandmaster Flesh and the Furious Five - The Message

最最經典的沒有之一，非常有深度。它批判社會，但是沒有極度的憤怒和狂躁，只是用一個普通工薪族的眼光來描述社會的弊端。

歌詞節選：

My son said "Daddy I don"t want to go to school

cause the teacher"s a jerk, he must think I"m a fool

and all the kids smoke reefer, I think it"d be cheaper

If I just got a job learn to be a street sweeper

or dance to the beat, shuffle my feet

and wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps

cause it"s all about money, ain"t a damn thing funny

you got to have a coin in this land of milk and honey.「

我兒子說：「老爸我不想上學了

老師是個蠢材，他肯定覺得我是個扶不起的阿斗

而其他小夥伴們都在抽大麻。還不如省點學費，

我直接去掃大街得了。

要不就循規蹈矩，渾渾噩噩

穿個西裝襯衫跟著大伙兒混。

因為什麼東西都得談錢啊，你說這好不好笑，

你必須要有錢，才能生存在這濃如牛奶甜如蜜的土地上。

3）Geto Boys－Mind Playing Tricks on me

角度非常新穎，歌詞主旨就是：做了虧心事，就怕鬼叫門。這指的當然是心鬼了。

歌詞節選：

I make big money

I drive big cars

Everybody know me

It"s like I"m a movie star

But late at night something ain"t right

I feel I"m being tailed by the same sucker"s headlights

Is it that fool that I ran off the block

Or is it that nigga last week that I shot

Or is it the one I beat for five thousand dollars

Thought he had caine but it was Gold Medal Flour.

我賺大錢

我開豪車

誰都認識我

我就像個電影明星一樣

但是夜幕降臨時，始終有什麼不對勁

（開車時）我覺得有人跟蹤我

是不是我搶他生意的那個白痴呢？

還是上星期我用槍打傷的那個人呢？

抑或是那個被我騙了5000塊的人？

他以為他買的是可卡因，但是我用金牌麵粉冒充了

4） Immortal Technique - Dance with the devil

我聽過最黑暗的歌之一，比起上面提到的the message 的最後一節還要黑暗。這不是說一個男孩子如何從光明走向墮落，而是講他如何從墮落走向毀滅。聽到最後一節的某一句有種「我他X的剛剛聽到什麼？」 的感受。絕對刷新這首rap的黑暗度。

歌詞節選：

He was fascinated by material objects

But he understood money never brought respect

He built a reputation cause he can hustle and steal

But got locked once and didn"t hesitate to squeal

So criminals he chilled with didn"t think he was real

You see, me and niggeas like this have never been equal

i don"t project my insecurities in other people

he fiended for props like addicts with pipes and needles

so he felt he had to prove to everyone he was evil

他追求各種物質上的東西

但他明白，錢不能買到尊重

他的販毒和搶劫行徑，已經在幫中為他贏得一定地位

但被警察拉進去蹲過一次牢，為了減刑，毫不猶豫地出賣兄弟。

跟他混的都不覺得他有義氣

你看，我就和他們不同

我不會把我的不安全感投射在他人身上

他渴望地位和尊重就像癮君子渴望毒品一樣

所以他覺得他不得不向所有人證明他是邪惡的

好吧，答主懶，先寫到這裡

我非常非常喜歡Eminem,他對韻腳很講究，白人rap裡面算是很拔尖了，不輸黑人。只推薦一首的話，我推薦《When I"m Gone》,情感很充沛，不造作，鼓點和提琴都很契合。

奶爸英文屌，我就直接貼歌詞好了：

《When I"m Gone》 by Eminem

It s my life

In my own words I guess

Have you ever loved someone so much you d give an arm for

Not the expression no literally give an arm for

When they know they are your heart

And you know you are their armour

And you will destroy anyone who will try to harm her

But what happens when karma turns right around and bites you

And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you

What happens when you become the main source of her pain

Daddy look what I made

Dad s gotta go catch a plane

Daddy where s mummy I can t find mummy where is she

I don t know go play Hailie baby your daddy s busy

Daddy s writin this song this song ain t gon write itself

I ll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself

Then to write a rhyme in a song and tell her you love her

And put hands on her mother who s a spittin image of her

That s Slim Shady yeah baby Slim Shady s crazy

Shady made me but tonight Shady s rockaby baby

And when I m gone just carry on don t mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I m lookin down on you smiling

And I didn t feel a thing so baby don t feel no pain just smile back

And when I m gone just carry on don t mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I m lookin down on you smiling

And I didn t feel a thing so baby don t feel no pain just smile back

I keep havin this dream – I m pushin Hailie on the swings

she keeps screamin

She don t want me to sing

You re makin mummy cry why why s mummy crying

Baby Daddy ain t leavin no more

Daddy you re lying

You always say that you always say this is the last time

but you ain t leavin no more Daddy you re mine!

She s piling boxes in front of the door tryin to block it

Daddy please daddy don t leave daddy --no stop it!

Goes in her pocket pulls out a tiny necklace locket it s got a picture

This ll keep you safe daddy take it with you

I look up it s just me standin in the mirror

these fuckin" walls must be talkin coz man I can hear em

They sayin you got one more chance to do right and it s tonight

Now go out there and show em that you love em fore it s too late

And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door

it turns to a stage they re gone

And the spotlight is on and I m singing

And when I m gone just carry on don t mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I m lookin down on you smiling

And I didn t feel a thing so baby don t feel no pain just smile back

And when I m gone just carry on don t mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I m lookin down on you smiling

And I didn t feel a thing so baby don t feel no pain just smile back

Sixty thousand people all jumpin out their seat

The curtain closes they re throwing roses at my feet

I take a bow and thank you all for comin out

They re screamin so loud I take one last look at the crowd

I glance down I don t believe what I m seein

Daddy it s me! Help mummy her wrists are bleedin

But baby we re in Sweden how did you get to Sweden !

I followed you daddy you told me that you wern t leavin

You lied to me dad and now you make mummy sad

And I bought you this coin

It says number 1 dad that s all I wanted

I just wanna give you this coin

I get the point fine me and mummy are goin

But baby wait-

Its too late dad you made your choice

Now go out there and show em you love em more than us

That s what they want

They want you Marshall they keep

screamin your name it s no wonder you can t go to sleep

Just take another pill yeah I bet ya you will

You rap about it Yeah word ke-keep it real

I hear applause all this time I couldn t see

How could it be that the curtain is closing on me

I turn around find a gun on the ground cock it

put it to my brain scream Die Shady! and pop it

The sky darkens my life flashes

The plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes

That s when I wake up alarm clock"s ringin"

There s birds singin it s spring and

Hailie s out side swingin

I walk right up to Kim and kiss her tell her I miss her

Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister almost as if to say-

And when I m gone just carry on don t mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I m lookin down on you smiling

And I didn t feel a thing so baby don t feel no pain just smile back

And when I m gone just carry on don t mourn

Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice

Just know that I m lookin down on you smiling

And I didn t feel a thing so baby don t feel no pain just smile back

奶爸，你這個問題其實應該召喚 @卓人羽 的。他不僅僅能夠推薦那個rap他覺得填詞填的好，而且能夠推薦一些他覺得好的關於 rap的podcasts以及 推薦 能夠推薦能夠回答「哪個rap填詞好」的人以及能夠回答推薦「誰對rap比較擅長能夠推薦哪個rap填詞好」以及回答『誰對rap推薦比較了解於是能夠回答「誰對rap比較擅長能夠推薦哪個rap填詞好」』以及......

（注釋：上面的省略號指的是GPL式遞歸）

以我有限的經歷，我想推薦(An) Englishman in New York的，但是這貨不是rap

以我有限的經歷.........我只聽過非常少的rap，所以

推薦被 卓人羽 認為是 帶上 南部說唱之王的桂冠也不會不當 的 Chamillionaire （在卓人語『背不完的單詞書』中有推薦）的 Evening News

下面是歌詞， 黑了政治家，新聞媒體以及黑了黑了hiphap的人

http://rapgenius.com/Chamillionaire-evening-news-lyrics

然後，答題時發現自己沒話可說不知道怎麼寫賞析而且翻譯是渣的時候只需要戰略轉進就行

啊呀，goodreaders上面沒有Chamillionaire的quotes

啊呀，New Yorker也沒有Chamillionaire的訪談

啊呀，想要上nytimes被打臉了

只好找點歌詞中有趣的並且我不會翻得太爛的翻譯看看吧

Gas prices raises, the money keeps burning

Dropout rate rising, so what are they learning?

Sending the troops in the war so I turn it

To today"s evening news

油價升著，錢在燒著

輟學率漲著，什麼東西他們在學著？

他們派送軍隊，我去看看電視上的

今天的晚間新聞

No time to trip don"t be confused

Cause this type of news - opinions and views

Got no time for no interviews

沒時間犯錯沒時間犯渾

因為這種新聞需要的就是觀念和觀點

沒時間，沒訪談

Anyways, there"s way more important stuff that we can discuss

George Bush is playing golf, everybody hush, he"s about to putt

不過我們還有更重要的事情去討論

布希在打高爾夫，大家別出聲，下桿就要進洞

Well, now my cue card says the price of gas isn"t really high
But I"m not going to read that, cause we all know that that"s a lie

我的提詞板說現在油價適宜，但是我不準備讀這條，畢竟咱們都知道這是謊言

Hip-Hop is sweeping the nation, but the contents seem so degrading

Most rappers got new albums that white kids are anticipating

HipHop全國流行，但是這些東西內容夠遜

大部分歌手的新東西只有白小子才喜歡

謝謝 卓人羽 的指正

我最喜歡的三個rapper都是白人（無種族主義，純屬巧合）：Eminem, Mike Shinoda (林肯公園成員之一）, Macklemore

推薦的歌：

Eminem: 太多了，Stan, lose yourself, mockingbird, when I"m gone是最經典的，基本都可以跟著唱（shuo）下來, 最近寫給母親的Headlights也不錯

Mike Shinoda (or Fort Minor)，印象中只出過一張專輯，但是每首都好聽，我個人覺得每首都能打榜！

Macklemore: 就不用說了，在rap界很難看到這麼謙遜的小伙兒！can"t hold us百聽不厭，same love 溫情綿綿，感人至深

Eminem母親節給他媽寫的headlights

Luv (Sic) Pt2

Once again, now where do I start, dear love

重逢於千萬人之間，如何說竟一時語塞

Dumbstruck with the pure luck to find you here

幸運如我能與你相遇在此地此刻

Every morn" I awake from a cavernous night,

每天清晨陽光將虛無黑夜覆蓋，我醒來

Sometimes still pondering the previous plight,

卻從未敢忘卻那曾經的誓約，吾愛

Seems life done changed long time no speak,

生活悄然改變

Nowadays I often forget the day of the week

我也早沒了日期的概念

Taking it by stride if you know what I mean,

大步向前如果你懂我說的

No harm done, no offense taken by me

不會有什麼壞處的，我並無惡意

So let"s rap, we"ll catch up to par, what"s the haps?

所以來吧，讓我們說說吧，我們就能更加了解彼此

Perhaps we"re even closer now after all things considered on this side of the planet,

從詩詞歌賦聊到人生哲學讓我們更親近些

Couldn"t pick a better time even if we planned it!

哈，還有比這更好的時機嗎？

To come clean and candid if I have to

白馬輕裘我攤開我所有

Oh what I wouldn"t trade for your laughter

在我詩中融化的日月繁星

Sweet and sour spice in my poetry pot melting,

卻依然不能換取

Even better than the real thing!

你一笑傾心

It"s like the God in me saw the Devil in you

神性如我遇見惡魔如你

I wanted to break myself in the worst way when I met you

吞下魚鉤我自願入網

Who would have thought, conversate by the river, celebrate birth,

誰曾想，在河邊慶生的談話

Sit and delivered the lines that would prove to be the seeds of trust

只是靜靜坐著兩人互相遞出信託

Unsigned, yeah but destined to grow with sunshine

未曾署名，但必定在陽光中生長

Self-assigned task piled on the desk of good works,

因愛的責任不斷提升自己

Knowing hardship appreciate the best of both worlds!

才知克服困難才是對愛最好的證明！

C"est la vie, as they say L.O.V.E evidently, see every song has a sequel

生活如是，當他們說出如此鮮明的愛，就像每首歌曲還

Never same, everything but the name, all fresh just like back then, how we do everyday

有續曲永遠不同，但他們所有的名是愛，如此鮮活如同當初你我

C"est la vie, as they say L.O.V.E eloquently, see every dream has a part two

生活如是，當他們說出如此鮮活的愛，就像每個夢總

Never same, you got to keep it tight, always just like back then, now hear me out...

有兩面永遠不同，你該像當初那樣緊握的那個夢想，就聽我慢慢訴說

Once together, now where do we go, dear divine

再次相遇，我們又該前往何方？上蒼

I pray that you keep watching over us,

只是卑微祈願著您能將羊群守望

From the heavens where light is the nucleus

光從天堂中心向四周散發

To this space filled with darkness and negative matter

穿破黑暗抵擋將真理播灑

Anti-gravity pull is what I would rather feel when I leave this shell eventually

當上升力終將我從軀殼中抽離

Ties to the mother earth ground me mentally,

精神卻仍然被大地所牽引

Real vibes will keep me alive spiritually

感受著一切，我與弦音融為一體，不破不滅

Imagination brings bliss at no cost, when I blink blink I receive at no loss

想像力如星辰跳躍，我將所有福祉收下分毫不差

Victory comes in small packages like a leaf of an olive tree brought back by a dove

那被緊緊包裹的勝利，如同白鴿從空中銜回的橄欖葉

【「到了晚上，鴿子回到他那裡，嘴裡叼著一個新擰下來的橄欖葉子「--《創世紀》8:11/這句私以為shing02是用來表達上帝對人之罪的寬恕和愛，而人也獲得信仰和愛】

From above, then I"m gonna rhyme love,

我要為愛賦詩

Well you saw that one coming ever since the beginning of the end

哦，是的，當你看到那人最終走來堅如磐石一如開始

Well anyways, I am not a perfect being, yes I am a man full of S-I-N

哦，不，金無足赤，我帶著自身的原罪從一開始

It"s like the Devil in me saw the God in you,

惡魔如我遇見你如神祇

You epitomize the etymology of enthusiasm!

你是蘇格拉底岩壁中的火炬【enthusiasm起源於古希臘語的entheo，字面意為「神在心中」，意為靈媒】

Look it up there lies the clouds that form the rain

看吶，那些降落為雨的雲

That came from the ocean that flowed from the river

是來自跋涉千里奔流入海的河流和小溪

I"m a believer, firm with the first words, lyrical transceiver of our ancient roots

當第一個詞被說出，我就註定是那古老根源的傳語者和信徒

Science plus Arts multiply by Faith，and divide by the number of our Ethnic Race!

科學和藝術由同一個信仰所締結，卻又因不同的種族而分裂！

Let me mention what I"ve been thinking

讓我來講述我過去思路

How to save the children, when the ship is sinking

如何將孩子救助當我們失去救贖

So I"m singing, no lip syncing to slogans,

所以我開始歌唱將自己的聲音發出，絕不是空喊口號和諧之路

Political hooligans with tanks, missiles and guns!

那些政治流氓用坦克導彈槍將我們捆綁

Everything is relative when it"s all in the family of man,

時間變遷可血脈相連我們都是一家人！

Understand the time has finally come to realize the great power of 1,

恍然大悟，吾神！

All formulas equalize under the Sun, Amen!

一切標準在陽光下平等，阿門！

The rhymes will heal "cause I believe in music,

韻律能治癒一切，因為我堅信音樂

In times of need they won"t be leaving you sick

他們會在你無助時給你關切

The beat plus the melody"s the recipe,

節奏加上旋律就是解藥

Your vibe surely brings out the best in me!

伯牙子期你我無需多言

The rhymes will heal "cause I believe in music,

韻律能治癒一切，因為我堅信音樂

In times of need they won"t be leaving you sick

他們會在你無助時給你關切

The beat plus the melody"s the recipe,

節奏加上旋律就是解藥

All good souls lost may they rest in peace!

迷失故魂唯願汝眾安好

(repeat)

Hiphop worldwide we got to live in peace, like that!

hiphop無處不在，我們生活自由和睦

【彼此和睦(peace)──不敵視任何人 聖經新約哥林多後書13章11節：還有末了的話：願弟兄們都喜樂。要作完全人；要受安慰；要同心合意；要彼此和睦(live in peace)。】

Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
This is Stan
----eminem &
聽起來入耳的很，只有eminem！

D"you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can"t trust freedom
When it"s not in your hands
When everybody"s fightin"
For their promised land
----GunsRose&
不是嚴格的Rap，只是比Rap好聽
