Till I Get There
I'mma ho, whole word on hold
未完成的專輯,未來得及應對的世界
The crowd is like 'ho!', operator's like 'hold'
台下歌迷已經在鼓譟,主持人已經在提示我
Man, now ain't that cold?
嘿,這樣不是很酷嗎?
I'm just trying to talk to my homie, that's something to hold
我只想對我的伙伴們說,有些信念需要堅持
Homegirl ain't trying to be a hole, even though she on a pole
就算面臨困境,家裡的女孩也不會想著出賣肉體去過活
Can she get a second chance? NO!
她還有第二次機會嗎?不!
Whoa! Like the opposite of gold
等於放棄了光鮮亮麗的奢華生活
That's how it's supposed to be: a butterfly
沒有點石成金,只有化蛹為蝶
For the sake of rhyming let's just say 'butterflyee'
為了押韻,我們可以稱作蝴蝶兒
The truth stings like Muhammad Ali
真相的打擊就像拳王阿里的重拳
I tell 'em tell 'em don't homocide me
我三番四次告訴他們不要抹殺掉我
I just a little old hope with his back against the ropes
我只是個怀揣渺小希望的拳手,背靠著擂台邊索
Fighting for his fans and, fighting for his folks
為他的歌迷,為他要守護的人奮戰到底
But the boo's from the crowd they become so loud
但是場邊觀眾的噓聲震耳欲聾,在耳邊迴盪
If I could block em out then, I could knock em out then
如果我可以阻隔噓聲,我就可以擊倒對手
Dance around the ring, but until then I'll say
在擂台上歡呼起舞,但在勝利之前
I'mma keep it cool, and I'mma do me
我要做好自己,我要堅持自己
It is what it is and that's how it's gon' be
現在如此,將來也是
Until I get there
直到我到達目的地
Until I get there
直到我到達高峰
And yeah I got flaws, I know I'm not perfect
沒錯我知道我有缺點,也不是完美的聖人
But all ups and downs, will soon be worth it
但生命的高低起伏,很快就會得到證明
When I get there
等到我到達目的地
When I get there
等到我攀到高峰
'Doctor doctor please! The fame ain't painless enough'
醫生醫生!快來!誰說人氣是無痛的
That's cause you ain't famous enough
那是因為你還不夠出名
You got a little game, but your name ain't ringing enough
在小圈子你可能是老大,到了外面你的名字是啥?
He said 'take 2 of these and put change in my cup'
他說“拿兩張錢就閃人,記得把零錢放進我的杯子裡”
I said I wasn't poor, he gave me some more
我說“我不窮”他給我更多
Grabbed me a publicist and pointed me to the door
隨手抓來一個發言人來敷衍我,指著那扇門
'Out!' Ouch.. I'm telling you this all from a therapist's couch
滾! ”喔……我躺在心理醫生的沙發上碎碎念
'Tell me about your mother? What she's all about?'
“跟我談談你的母親吧,她是什麼樣的人? ”
Prescribed me an interview and then told me to bounce
給我開張藥方叫“下次再約”然後叫我滾蛋
Damn..geez. The world is so cold, I'm glad I bought these skis
該死的……天啊,這世界真的有夠冷酷的,幸好我有買這些滑雪橇
Went right off of the bunny sloped and right into the trees
穿著它們滑離了兔子斜坡,直徑準確地撞向一棵樹
Went unconscious, they rushed me to a concert
休克著被他們匆忙抬進演唱會
Instead of green jello, they made me chicken soup
沒有給我塗藥膏,他們給我雞湯
They fed me magazine covers and video shoots
餵給我雜誌封面和錄影帶拍攝
I'mma keep it cool, and I' mma do me
我要做出牛B的作品,我要堅持自我
It is what it is and that's how it's gon' be
現在如此,將來如是
Until I get there
直到我到達目的地
Until I get there
直到我到達高峰
And yeah I got flaws, I know I'm not perfect
沒錯我知道我有缺點,也不是完美的聖人
But all ups and downs, will soon be worth it

And when I finally make it, I'mma stunt so hard
當我成功了,我耍的招式和花樣特技一定嚇死你
Evil as Knievel, I'mma jump so far
像Knievel一樣叛逆,像Knievel一樣飛躍(注:Evel knievel,是70年代一名著名的摩托車特技表演者)
Way up in the atmosphere, I ain't coming back
飛到高空中,再也不會回頭
Be a jerk to these jerks, yeah that'll make em hurt
對那些對你殘忍的人殘忍,讓他們嚐嚐受傷的滋味
Huh? Instead of young boy in the mirror

A young version of me, so I started to tear up
年輕時的我,要決心粉碎掉
He said 'you need to cheer up, your mind need to clear up

You're already here, just be yourself in mirror'
你就是你,勇敢做鏡中所看到的自己
Then he disappeared and I felt something familiar
然後他就從鏡子中消失,我感到一種熟悉的感覺
Something I was taught, something I had lost
一些從小就被教過,卻被我遺忘掉的東西
If you are afraid, the fear that you gon' change some

All you gotta do is just remember where you came from
所要做的就是記得自己從哪裡來
I'mma keep it cool, and I'mma do me
