Heres a tune about this honey named Renee
這首歌是關於一個叫Renee的女孩
That I met one day
一個我曾遇到過的人
On my way back from John Jay
那時我正從John Jay往家裡走
Im peepin shorty as shes walking to the train
我瞥見一個美女正往車站走
I tap her on her shoulders
我拍了拍她的肩
Excuse me Miss, but can I get your name
“抱歉小姐,能請教芳名嗎?”
She said my name is Renee
她說,“我叫Renee ”
I said I got a whole lot to say
我說,我有很多話想跟你聊
So may I walk you to your subway
我能陪你走到地鐵站嗎?
She said if you want
她同意了
So yo, we started talking
於是,我們開始聊天
I brought two franks and two drinks
我還帶著兩份熱狗腸和兩瓶飲料
And we began walking
兩人開始同路
I had to see where that head was at
我不得不跟著她一路走
Because the gear was mad phat
因為她的行頭實在太贊
So we must chat about this and that
所以我們也不得不天南地北地聊著
She told me what she was in school for
她跟我說了她在學校學的啥
She wants to be a lawyer
她想做一名律詩
In other words shorty studies law
也就是說,她是學的法律
Im telling shorty Im a writer
我就告訴她我是寫東西的
And as shes looking for the token
她在進地鐵找硬幣的時候
She drops a package of the EZ Rider
一包EZ Wider掉了出來(捲菸專用的紙)
Covers her mouth with her name ring
她有些局促,用手掩著嘴,我能看到她刻著名字的戒指
I said, yo dont sweat the technique shorty rock
我說,別太驚訝,美人兒(《Dont Sweat The Technique》也是Rakim一首歌)
I do the same thing
我也抽這個
But yet I use Philly Blunts
但是我抽的雪茄牌子是Philly Blunts
She said I never dealt with Philly Blunts
她說我從沒試過PB
Because I heard thats for silly stunts
因為我聽他們說那個太花里胡哨
I said, nah they burn slower
我說,沒有,PB燒起來比較慢
Rightnow I really dont know ya
現在我們還不太熟悉彼此
But maybe later on I can get to show ya
不過或許晚點我可以給你嚐嚐看
[Chorus:]
在貧民區街頭的愛情,是我們命中的法則
A ghetto love is the law that we live by
一天又一天,我都在思索,為什麼遇害的得是我愛的女孩
Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
我懷念著我的街頭公主,日復一日
I reminice over my ghetto princess everyday
向我的女孩致意
Give it up for my shorty

向我的女孩致意
Give it up for my shorty
我倆已經上了地鐵
[Verse Two:]
除了她塗的指甲
Now we sittin on train
她的發行看著也有點彆扭
Besides the fingernails
不過現在我才了解到她的品味
Now shorty got the hairdo of pain
一件很讚的皮夾克,搭配牛仔褲
Now understand she got flava
戴著一條她媽媽給她的鍊子
A tough leather jacket,with some jeans
大概6;34的時候我們下了地鐵
And a chain that her moms gave her
她不確定家裡還有沒有足夠的狗糧所以我們去店裡買了點
Got off the train about 6:34
到了她的住處
She wasnt sure she had grub for the dog so we hit the store
打開燈
Went to the crib
好傢伙,一架子的雜誌
And turned the lights on
有《Essence》(著名黑人群體雜誌) 還有《 Right On!》(流行青少年雜誌)
A crazy magazine stand
房間有一個真皮沙發
From Essence to Right On
一套音響以及好大一堆CD唱片
A leather couch
所以你懂得
Stero system with crazy cds
這姑娘家境不錯
Understand kid
她說,Cheeks(MC的名字),你隨便啊
She got cheese
我先餵一下狗狗
She said cheeks do what you want
我答道,好的,我先抽根煙
She said Im gonna feed the dog
她回來的時候換了件緊身褲,扎著馬尾,套著體恤衫
I said alright well Im gonna roll this blunt
哎呀,這姑娘真的太漂亮
She came back with strech pants and a ponytail, a t-shirt
我倆窩在沙發上聊啊聊
A yo, Fam I got a tender-roni girl
又在她家陽台上抽著煙
Were sitting on the couch chattin
望著遠處的曼哈頓
Were smoking blunts on her balcony
她慢慢靠在我的胸膛
Were stearing at Manhattan
我也感受到她的心房
She started feeling on my chest
剩下的劇情已無需細講
I started feeling on her breasts
我簡直就是人生贏家
And theres no need for me to stress the rest
我們吃東西前吞雲吐霧
A yo, I got myself a winner
晚餐後也吐霧吞雲
We sparked a blunt before we ate
她有個紋身只願親密的人可以看到
And a blunt after we ate dinner
那先得把燈光暗下來,在來點Jodeci的音樂
She had a tattoo she only wanted Bo to see
我覺得你放什麼音樂都行,姑娘
But first dim the lights and turn up the Jodeci
我們可以隨著音樂輕輕搖擺
Im like whatever shorty rock
真真切切,情之所至
We can swing it like that
在貧民區街頭的愛情,是我們命中的法則
Cause on the real this is where its at.
一天又一天,我都在思索,為什麼遇害的得是我愛的女孩
[Chorus]
我懷念著我的街頭公主,日復一日

Day by day I wonder why my shorty had to die
第二天我從軟軟的水床上醒來
I reminice over my ghetto princess everyday
枕頭上留著一張信紙
Give it up for my shorty
上面她寫著
[Verse Three: ]
Cheeks,我大概2點鐘回來
I woke up the next day on the waterbed
你睡好香
A letters on the pillow
所以我不想打擾你
And this what the lettersaid
我留下了電話號碼這樣她以後好聯繫
It said cheeks, Ill be home around two
我穿好衣服
You was deep in your sleep
抽支煙
So I didnt want to bother you
然後就進了電梯下樓了
I left a number for shorty to call me later
大概三點的時候電話響了(也有可能是BP機)
Got dressed
我問她一切好嗎
Smoked a blunt
她也問候了我
Then I bounced to the elevator
而今我們就在一起幾週了
I got a beep around three
帶著我的妞去燭光晚餐
Im asking shorty whats up with you
和其他的浪兒就喝喝酒而已
Shes asking whats up with me
伙計,我從未愛上過別人
And now we been together for weeks
每次我穿梭於城市之間
Candlelight dinner with my shorty
我心裡想的只有她一人
Crack a 40 with my naughty freaks
那是我正和一幫朋友在外面
A man, I never been in love
收到了Renee的尋呼
But everytime Im burstin in and outta state
因為Renee她也用call機
Its shorty that Im thinking of
但是找我的卻是她的老媽
Im hanging out with my crew
她說Renee中槍了
I get a beep from Renee
Cheeks,來St. Lukes醫院找我
Because Renee uses code two
我趕緊開著Van Wyck出發
But yet Im chattin with her mom dukes
火急火燎
She said Renee has been shot
唉,這破事簡直讓人發瘋
So cheeks, meet me up at St. Lukes
都沒考慮過警察
I jumps on the Van Wyck
車都開到了100碼
I gotta make it there quick
誰TM在乎
A yo , this **** is gettin mad thick
我車開得飛起,用了最快的速度
Not even thinking about the po nine
我必須得看看人究竟怎麼樣了
Im doing a buck
我剛到醫院
Who gives a ****
他們告訴我,Cheeks先生
Im smokin boom and the whole nine
Renee已經不在了
I gotta see whats going on
我灑下一些酒,敬我已經離去的姑娘
But by the time I reach the hospital
我來自貧民窟,來自街頭
They tell me Mr. Cheeks
聽好了
Renee is gone
這就是我傷心落淚的往事
Im pouring beer out for my shorty who aint here
在貧民區街頭的愛情,是我們命中的法則
Im from the ghetto
一天又一天,我都在思索,為什麼遇害的得是我愛的女孩
So listen
我懷念著我的街頭公主,日復一日
This is how I shed my tears
向我的女孩致意
