Ghetto to ghetto, backyard to yard 贫民窟到贫民窟，后院子里

We tear it up y'all, bless the mic with the gods (come on) 我们撕开了你们，祝福与神的MIC（来吧）

Precious metals round our necks and arms (yea) 圆我们的脖子和手臂贵金属（是啊）

We tear it up y'all, bless the mic with the gods 我们撕开了你们，祝福与神麦克风

Ghetto to ghetto, backyard to yard 贫民窟到贫民窟，后院子里

We tear it up y'all, bless the mic with the gods (come on) 我们撕开了你们，祝福与神的MIC（来吧）

Precious metals round our necks and arms (yea) 圆我们的脖子和手臂贵金属（是啊）

We tear it up y'all, bless the mic with the gods 我们撕开了你们，祝福与神麦克风

   

[Hook: Anthony Hamilton] [钩：安东尼·汉密尔顿]

Whatever in your heart is where you want to be 无论在你的心脏，你想成为

My hood is the ghetto 我的引擎盖是贫民区

Even when you look 即使你看

Its never what you see 它从来没有你所看到的

My hood is the ghetto 我的引擎盖是贫民区

I've been down before up is just a reach 我已经失望过了仅仅是一个范围

Cause my hood is the ghetto 因为我的引擎盖是贫民窟

Catch a second wind 赶上第二个风

Then begin again 然后重新开始

My hood is the ghetto 我的引擎盖是贫民区

   

[Verse 1: Common] [诗歌1 ：通用]

Black magic in the hood, its tragic but understood 黑魔法罩，其悲惨的，但理解

Crack addicts, crack windows, crack wood 打击吸毒，裂纹窗，木裂

Even whats bad becomes good, status becomes stood 即使什么坏变好，状态变为站

Upon the pedestal welcome to the ghetto show 在底座欢迎贫民窟秀

Federal buildings, pissy hallways filled with children pushing children 联邦大厦， pissy走廊洋溢着孩子们推儿童

Fiends lips peeling, shit seems real and 恶魔嘴唇脱皮，狗屎似乎真实的，

What's real is the estate of mind that we're in 什么是真正的是一种精神的遗产，我们是在

The situation feels great 这种情况感觉好极了

My man peels weight, so he can fill plates 我的男人皮的重量，这样他就可以填补片

You might get love but you still feel hate 你可能会得到爱，但你还是觉得讨厌

Through and chain plates, we communicate 通过与链板，我们沟通

Chicago to brooklyn nigga real ones do relate 芝加哥布鲁克林黑人以假乱真不涉及

   

[Verse 2: Talib Kweli] [诗2：利布Kweli ]

If lyrics sold then truth be told 如果歌词卖那么说实话

I'll probably be just as rich and famous as jay-z 我可能只是因为富人和名人的Jay-Z的

Truthfully I wanna rhyme like common sense 说实话我想把韵像是常识

Next best thing I do a record with common sense 退而求其次，我有常识的纪录

Cause its the music, its blues, its jazz, its acoustics 造成其乐，其蓝调，爵士乐，它的音响效果

Soul, rock and roll the hip hop we be producing yea 灵魂，摇滚嘻哈，我们可以生产啊

It's the gear, it's the flare, it's the stare 它的齿轮，它的闪耀，它的凝视

Nowadays they'll shot you where they used to shoot the fair 如今，他们会开枪打你，他们用来拍摄的公允

Remember the lost soldiers, pour a beer, shoot the air 记住失去的士兵，倒啤酒，拍摄空中

We got our own elected officials, no matter who the mayor 我们有我们自己的民选官员，不管是谁的市长

I know you know what I'm talking about 我知道你知道我在说什么

From New York to the South, take off your shoes when you walk in the house 从纽约到南方，脱鞋，当你走在房子

[Verse 3: Talib Kweli] [第3节：利布Kweli ]

Yo 哟

I grew up where they're playing skele in the parking lot 我长大了，他们正在玩skele在停车场

And sell paintings of Aaliyah, BIG and Pac up in the barbershop 卖艾莉雅，大，小精灵画了在理发店

Buildings too big so you don't really see the stars a lot 建筑物太大了，所以你真的没有看到星星了很多

But rapping, drinking, and going to prison you see them bars a lot 但是，说唱，喝酒，会看到他们的监狱酒吧很多

I feel the spirit in the dark and hear it in my heart 我觉得精神在黑暗中听到它在我的心脏

And always keep my ears to the block till I dearly depart 并始终保持自己的耳朵来块，直到我离开高昂

Hip hop is really the art 嘻哈是真正的艺术

We have to express the part of ourselves that make us want to martyr ourselves 我们要表达自己，让我们想要烈士自己的一部分

It ain't harder to tell when somebody stick you up and put the hammer to you 这不是很难告诉别人的时候，你坚持了，把锤子给你

They want them dead presidents like Stickman and Mutulu 他们希望他们死了的总统像火柴和Mutulu

With a gun to your jaw, these kids don't run anymore 有枪你的下巴，这些孩子不跑了

Kicks is a hundred or more 踢是百人以上

   

[Verse 4: Common] [第4节：通用]

A man in front of the store, begging for money and mercy 一个人在店门口，乞讨和怜悯

I told him say a prayer under his breath, he cursed me 我告诉他说，在他的呼吸祈祷，他诅咒我

Niggaz is thirsty, I heard it's a drought 兄弟们渴了，我听说这是一个干旱

Up early, serving from their grandmother's house 起个大早，从他们的祖母的房子供应

Sometime the ghetto feels desolate, yo the eyes of the hood yo is desperate 有时贫民窟感觉凄凉，引擎盖哟溜溜的眼睛是绝望

Effected by the deficit, times and lessons get hard 受赤字影响，时间和经验很难得

Either get by or get god, but but you try to get by 要么通过或获得上帝，但却试图通过获得

It's like the block keep blocking 这就像块继续阻止

You try to make moves, its like the car just keep stopping 您尝试出招，其状如车刚停守

We shorties in the court, need cochran yea 我们矮仔在球场上，需要科克伦啊

I tell them why the weed seeds popping, in the game you need options 我告诉他们为什么杂草种子弹出，在游戏中你需要的选项

No time for feet watching, me and kwe keep rocking for the ghetto 没有时间看脚，我和KWE不断摇摆的贫民窟
