[00:13.60] I was born, raised in a ghetto
[00:19.46] I was born and raised in a ghetto, a haha
[00:26.33] I'm a woman, of the ghetto
[00:32.41] Won't you listen, won't you listen to me, legislator

[00:43.76] How do you raise your kids in a ghetto
[00:49.75] How do you raise your kids in a ghetto
[00:55.76] Do you feed one child and starve another
[01:02.04] Won't you tell me, legislator
[01:06.28] Enthralled through
[01:09.11] I know that my eyes ain't blue
[01:13.64] But you see I'm a woman
[01:18.00] Of the ghetto
[01:21.03] I'm proud, free,
[01:24.49] Black that is me
[01:27.91] Yeah I'm a woman of the ghetto
[01:31.95] (ging, gi-gi-gi-gi-ging...)
[01:38.64] How does your heart feel late at night
[01:44.83] How does your heart feel late at night
[01:50.04] Does it beat with shame, a haha
[01:54.67] And does it beat with pride
[01:57.65] Won't you tell me, tell me, legislator

[02:16.89] come and cross the water
[02:19.78] In a boat a ha
[02:22.58] Chained, tied, together
[02:26.79] They said, no, no, they're really not man, and women
[02:32.48] just chain 'em up, tie 'em up, chain 'em up, tie 'em up
[02:37.49] chain 'em up, tie 'em up, work, work, work
[02:41.07] There's where the movement came from
[02:44.20] Say no, no
[02:46.90] My children learned just the same as yours
[02:50.77] As long as nobody tries to close the door
[02:54.55] They cry with pain when the knife cuts deep
[02:58.33] They even close their eyes when they wanna sleep
[03:02.10] Now peace, you say
[03:05.17] is all that you ask
[03:07.72] But self-respect is a separate task
[03:11.76] You may be sitting up there
[03:15.17] in your ivory tower
[03:18.42] 60 stories tall
[03:22.28] I know that you may have checked out at least one ghetto
[03:27.70] But I wonder have you lived there at all
[03:31.42] Places like Watts,
[03:34.90] ah, Holland, tell me
[03:38.54] Chicago, ah tell me

[03:45.86] I have been up on the mountains, I
[03:50.04] And I'm free at last
[03:53.30] I say I'm free at last
[03:56.63] I've seen
[03:59.20] The children dying
[04:02.26] And I've been one of the mothers who was crying
[04:06.18] (ging, gi-gi-gi-gi-ging...)

[00:00.00]
[00:06.00]
[00:13.60] 我生于贫民窟 长于贫民窟
[00:19.46] 我在贫民窟出生成长 啊哈哈
[00:26.33] 我是贫民窟的女人
[00:32.41] 请听我说 立法者大人 请听我说
[00:38.25]
[00:43.76] 如何在贫民窟养育孩子
[00:49.75] 如何在肮脏街区抚养后代
[00:55.76] 难道要饿着一个 喂饱另一个
[01:02.04] 请回答我 立法者大人
[01:06.28] 沉迷其中
[01:09.11] 我知道我的眼睛不是蓝色
[01:13.64] 但你看 我是贫民窟的
[01:18.00] 女人
[01:21.03] 我骄傲 自由
[01:24.49] 黑皮肤就是我
[01:27.91] 是的 我是贫民窟的女人
[01:31.95]
[01:38.64] 深夜时你的心作何感受
[01:44.83] 午夜梦回时你良心可安
[01:50.04] 是否在羞愧中跳动 啊哈哈
[01:54.67] 还是因骄傲而震颤
[01:57.65] 告诉我 告诉我 立法者大人
[02:02.82]
[02:08.56] ging 啊哈哈
[02:11.75]
[02:14.39] 这让我想起
[02:16.89] 渡海而来的那些人
[02:19.78] 在船上 啊
[02:22.58] 被铁链锁在一起
[02:26.79] 他们说 不 这些不是真正的人类
[02:32.48] 只管锁住他们 捆住他们 强迫劳作
[02:37.49] 锁链加身 日夜不停 干活 干活
[02:41.07] 反抗的火焰由此点燃
[02:44.20] 说不 不
[02:46.90] 我的孩子与你的同样聪慧
[02:50.77] 只要没人试图关上机会之门
[02:54.55] 利刃割伤时也会痛哭
[02:58.33] 困倦时同样需要安睡
[03:02.10] 你说你只想要
[03:05.17] 和平
[03:07.72] 但自尊是另一回事
[03:11.76] 也许你高坐在
[03:15.17] 象牙塔顶端
[03:18.42] 六十层楼之上
[03:22.28] 或许你曾视察过贫民窟
[03:27.70] 但你可曾真正在那里生活
[03:31.42] 像瓦茨区
[03:34.90] 啊 荷兰区 告诉我
[03:38.54] 芝加哥 啊 告诉我
[03:42.17] 华盛顿也有同样苦难
[03:45.86] 我曾登上山巅
[03:50.04] 终于获得自由
[03:53.30] 我说我终于自由
[03:56.63] 我目睹
[03:59.20] 孩子们死去
[04:02.26] 也曾是哭泣母亲中的一员
[04:06.18]
[04:10.59] 我是个女人
[04:14.07] 我是个女人
[04:17.39] 我是个女人 是的我
[04:21.09] 我说我是
[04:24.41] 我确定我是
[04:27.69] 我就是
[04:30.93] 我就是
[04:34.19] 贫民窟的女人
[04:37.49] 坚强 真实
[04:40.85] 一个女人
[04:44.09] 一个女人
[04:46.40] 你可曾在深夜走过贫民窟街道
[04:50.15] 有美丽风景
[04:52.59] 更多丑陋现实
[04:55.33] 豪华轿车缓缓驶来
[04:58.58] 说宝贝我有十块钱
[05:01.38] 看我多体面
[05:03.54] 于是她妥协一点
[05:06.18] 见鬼 谁都要生存
[05:09.11] 我有孩子
[05:12.16] 我有孩子
[05:15.39] 我有孩子要喂养 不会彻底出卖自己
[05:20.17] 只为那一两枚硬币
[05:23.51] 啊 黑人女性
[05:26.33] 但不会再替你养育后代
[05:29.83] 我自己也有几个要养
[05:33.27] 我要继续前行
[05:36.00] 我说我是个女人
[05:39.52] gi-gi-gi-gi-ging 我是
[05:42.59]
[05:44.97] 我是
[05:47.38] 我是
[05:49.19] 记住我
[05:51.69] 我就是为你生儿育女的人
[05:55.77] gi-gi-gi-gi-ging 我是
[05:58.94] 我是
[06:01.27] 我是个女人
[06:04.28] 贫民窟的
[06:06.77] 女人
[06:09.91] 我是个女人 耶耶耶
[06:13.56] 只是个女人
