[00:00.660] Open the fukking pit, yeah
[00:07.301] R.A.P. presidin', word
[00:09.552] Verse 1
[00:10.238] A so called negro stood there, spitting
[00:12.884] Ten thousand lines of poetry
[00:15.110] In conclusion, if I'm younger, you still not as old as me
[00:18.391] This ain't my first time, this ain't my first time
[00:20.889] Brown seed, brown pores, like molasses bread
[00:23.572] Slow breathin' through the scary shit
[00:25.406] Neophyte gambler, blue light dancer
[00:27.443] Aquarius, walkin' with my angels
[00:29.129] No need to measure the obtuse angle
[00:30.997] Clanger of loose bangles
[00:32.447] Measurin' stars with the space between my fingers
[00:35.366] Truth is power, speakin' only to the little flower stalk lingers
[00:39.318] A warrior don't need to test their meddle, stay blessed
[00:42.020] And then he kissed every petal
[00:43.580] Empty make a better vessel, ya know what I mean?
[00:45.772] And our color shall be green, as we tend to grow
[00:48.115] Tend to matters of hope, tend to be tender
[00:50.317] Gardener of letters, king hat pretender
[00:52.600] Benevolence lender, no interest rate
[00:54.572] Ruby yacht ain't met a crest we couldn't break
[00:56.606] Needless to say, the cipher's secure
[00:58.687] However, your processor need a reboot to update
[01:00.544] (which, the boys in blue investigate)
[01:04.338] Verse 2
[01:04.538] What's poppin', uh, cipher rotten
[01:06.850] Newport smoked down to the cotton
[01:09.445] It's simple mathematics, refracted madness
[01:11.461] Wrote the rhyme with fridge magnets
[01:13.604] Daydreamin' the whole lunch
[01:15.299] Under an (Anita Low?) bowl cut
[01:17.352] Eddie Jefferson singin', "so what?"
[01:18.858] This is music for quitters and dropouts
[01:20.839] This is music for the flophouse
[01:22.588] "Gimme my props now", I say clanging my briefcase
[01:25.920] Can you believe the nerve of these cheapskates?
[01:28.400] Hogging sunlight and the technology behind photosynthesis
[01:32.220] Let's measure rhythms in distances
[01:34.389] The speed goes twenty-nine million miles before movin'
[01:37.302] I think I'm improving, but who can say?
[01:39.442] Since no point is fixed, more or less
[01:41.736] I think my point is missed
[01:42.956] I've decided to embrace what differentiates me from the anointed clique
[01:46.904] Ruby yacht land ownership
[01:48.707] Let's build a monument, and stand over it
[01:51.529] Hand in hand, off-sides, odd pride
[01:54.072] Like watching your kid's first tantrum
[01:56.031] A relevant dataset
[01:57.522] Lost alpha, now pay the bet
[01:59.248] Beta, hepcat see ya later
[02:02.863] (Walk up in the building like I'm sposed to be here)
[02:05.385]
[02:08.476] But anyway
[02:10.714] What did you have for lunch today?
[02:15.620] I had some daydreams myself,
[02:18.765] Mmm. Yes and after all that rough sledding, that heavy lifting,
[02:24.399] A clear vista opened before me and a profound wave of understanding washed over me.
[02:30.260] And, and you know, the blues, the blues will fade.
[02:35.066] And the greens, the greens, they, they rush over you.
[02:39.118] The lush beautiful green, filled everything from the periphery to the center
歌词翻译
[00:00.660]
[00:07.301]
[00:09.552]
[00:10.238] 一个所谓的黑人站在那儿,不停说着话
[00:12.884] 一万行的诗篇
[00:15.110] 总之,就算我更年轻,你也没我成熟
[00:18.391] 这可不是我头一遭
[00:20.889] 棕色的肤色,棕色的毛孔,就像糖蜜面包(brown seed指的是黑人,molasses bread糖蜜面包是常见的黑人传统食物)
[00:23.572] 在吓人的事儿面前缓缓呼吸
[00:25.406] 新手赌徒,蓝光舞者(gambler赌徒有时象征着敢于冒险的人)
[00:27.443] 水瓶座,与我的天使同行(水瓶座常指独特的,自由的人)
[00:29.129] 没必要去量钝角(暗示不必纠结于复杂、无意义的事物)
[00:30.997] 松垮手镯的叮当声
[00:32.447] 用手指间的空隙丈量星辰(对自我能力和看待世界视角的自信)
[00:35.366] 真理就是力量,只对小花小草吐露自己的心声
[00:39.318] 勇士不需要试探自己的勇气,保持好自己受祝福的姿态就行啦
[00:42.020] 然后亲吻了每一片花瓣
[00:43.580] 空的容器更好用,你懂我意思吧(我记得李小龙也有过类似的表达,在给朋友曹珍珠的信中)
[00:45.772] 随着我们成长,我们的颜色将是绿色(绿色象征着生机希望)
[00:48.115] 关注一些自己所希望的事儿,保持住内心的善良
[00:50.317] 文字的园丁,觊觎王冠者
[00:52.600] 仁慈的放贷者,坚决不收利息
[00:54.572] 红宝石游艇,没有我们破不了的浪头(Ruby yacht象征奢华高端)
[00:56.606] 不用说,密码很安全(cipher常指一段说唱,也有密码的意思,这里暗示自己的创作或信息保护得很好,不会被轻易破解或模仿)
[00:58.687] 然而,你的处理器得重启更新(跟上一句相呼应)
[01:00.544] (这事儿,那些条子会调查)
[01:04.338]
[01:04.538] 不知道怎么了,说唱内容像狗屎了
[01:06.850] 新港烟抽到只剩过滤嘴(Newport是一种常见香烟品牌,黑人社区中很多人抽)
[01:09.445] 这就是简单的数学,折射出的疯狂(可能跟上面的钝角相呼应)
[01:11.461] 时常用冰箱贴来写韵脚
[01:13.604] 整个午饭时间都在做着梦
[01:15.299] ...
[01:17.352] Eddie Jefferson唱着“那又怎样?”(Eddie Jefferson是一位著名的爵士歌手,这里引用他的歌)
[01:18.858] 这是给半途而废者和辍学者的音乐(与上一首的给虚无主义者的歌一样,相呼应)
[01:20.839] 这是给廉价旅馆的音乐(说明milo的歌曲虽然很深刻但也很适合底层思考)
[01:22.588] “现在就给我应得的认可”,我一边说着一边敲着我的公文包(props即proper respect,表示要求得到应有的尊重和认可)
[01:25.920] 你能相信这些小气鬼的胆子吗?
[01:28.400] 霸占着阳光和光合作用背后的技术
[01:32.220] 咱们用距离来衡量节奏
[01:34.389] 在移动之前速度就达到2900万英里
[01:37.302] 我觉得我在进步,但谁又说得准呢?(自我怀疑?)
[01:39.442] 因为或多或少,没有什么点是固定的(事物是不断变化)
[01:41.736] 我觉得我的观点没被理解
[01:42.956] 我决定拥抱那些将我与所谓精英团体区分开的特质
[01:46.904] 红宝石游艇与土地所有权
[01:48.707] 咱们建座纪念碑,然后站在上面
[01:51.529] 手牵手,不合常规,奇怪的骄傲
[01:54.072] 就像看着你孩子第一次发脾气
[01:56.031] 一组相关数据集
[01:57.522] 失去了最初的优势,现在该下注了
[01:59.248] 贝塔,行家,回头再见吧(hepcat是对行家老手的称呼)
[02:02.863] (大摇大摆走进大楼,就像我本该在这儿)
[02:05.385]
[02:08.476] 但不管怎样
[02:10.714] 你今天午饭吃了啥?
[02:15.620] 我自己也做了些白日梦
[02:18.765] 在经历了那些艰难困苦,那些繁重负担之后
[02:24.399] 眼前出现了一片清晰的视野,一股深刻的领悟浪潮向我袭来
[02:30.260] 你知道吧,那些忧郁终将都会消散
[02:35.066] 而那些绿色,它们都会向你涌来
[02:39.118] 那美丽绿色,会从边缘到中心填满这一切
