Back in the day they used to call me a criminal
************
Running from the police, hanging with the homies
躲著警察和兄弟們在外閒逛
Gun in my waist, getting high off the chemicals
*******************
I was only 16, kicked out on the streets
我年僅16 卻以街頭為家
My mama told me, 'If you wanna make it
我的母親告訴我如果你想成功
You better figure out your life before they take it'
就要在擁抱生活之前看清生活的本質
Yeah, my mama told me, 'You gotta get smarter
我的母親還告訴我你要變得更機靈些
Or youre gonna end up in a cell just like your father'
否則你就會走你父親的老路坐穿牢底
Ooh, lord knows I try so hard
哦主啊我如此努力的變成優秀的模樣
Ooh, lord know Ive come so far
哦主啊我已經走瞭如此之遠
Ooh-oh, each time I touch the stars
我感覺漫天星河近在眼前
Something always brings me back to earth
一瞬間卻又遠在天邊
And Im back digging in the dirt
於是我遍再次落寞沉寂
...
...
And Im back digging in the dirt
在原地徘徊
Im coming of age and they call it a miracle
不知不覺我長大了人們都說時間過得真快啊
Im alive and breathing, theres gotta be a reason, Im still here
我還能好好地活著一定是有一個原因的
So I pick up the pace, tryna make me some money, oh
於是我加快了步伐想要掙些錢
Come up with a scheme now, a dirty or a clean now, yeah
我想到了一些手段去賺錢或許骯髒或許乾淨
Cause my mama tells me, 'You better make it
只因我的母親告訴我你最好有點出息
If not for yourself, then you should do it for your lady'
就算不是為了你也要想想靠什麼照顧那個她
Yeah, my mama tells me, 'You gotta get smarter
我的母親還告訴我你要變得更機靈些
Youve got a son and in a month youll have a daughter'
你或許已經有了兒子不久的未來你還會有個女兒
Ooh, lord knows I tryso hard (Yeah)
哦天哪我已經傾盡所有
Ooh, lord know Ive come so far
哦主啊我沒有回頭路了
Ooh-oh, each time I touch the stars
這燦爛星河好似為我而閃亮
Something always brings me back to earth
可低頭看看腳下的路
And Im back digging in the dirt
我遍再次落寞沉寂
...
...
And Im back digging in the dirt
熱鬧是他們的
And Im back digging in the dirt
我什麼都沒有
