A hustlers life this is life man
街头混混的生活 这就是人生啊
And a soldiers life parallel
与军旅生涯何其相似
And the one thing they got
他们唯一的共通点
In common is pain forget about me for a second
就是苦难 暂且把我搁在一旁
Picture split screen

On one side we got a hustler getting ready for the block human beings
一边是整装待发的街头斗士
Other side you got the soldier
另一边是整装待发的士兵
Getting ready for boot camp soldiers
新兵们即将踏入训练营
They're both at war this is life
他们都身处战场 这就是人生
Stay with us
请与我们同在
Did you ever notice before you think life goes fast
可曾注意生命转瞬即逝
So don't you worry about what you see it will pass
别为眼前困境过分忧虑 终将云开雾散
You lost him mama the wars calling him

Feel its his duty to fall in line with all of them
他视保家卫国为天职
Hes a soldier

Rose through the ranks as the head of your house hold
从底层崛起 成为家中顶梁柱
Now its time to provide bank
如今该是他撑起这个家的时候
Like hes supposed taht
正如他肩负的使命
Now just remember while hes going to November
当他奔赴远方时 请你记住
There's part of him growing up
他内心也在成长蜕变
His shirts soaks up your tears as he holds yeah
他衣衫浸透你的泪 将你紧拥入怀
Your heart beatin' so fast speeding his pulse up
心跳如鼓 血脉偾张
Yeah I know it sucks life ain't a rose bud
我懂这苦涩 生活并非玫瑰绽放
A couple of speed bumps
几道坎坷颠簸
You gotta take your lumps
你需咽下苦果
Off to boot camp the worlds facing terror
奔赴新兵营 世界正笼罩恐慌
Bin laden been happening in Manhatten
曼哈顿的阴云未散
Crack was anthrax back then back when
当年*品如炭疽蔓延
Police was Alqaeda to black men
警笛对黑人如同恐袭
While I was out there hustling sinning with no religion
当我在街头混迹 沉沦罪恶无信仰
He was off the wall killing for a living
他却在战场厮杀 以杀戮为生
Did you ever notice before you think life goes fast
可曾注意生命转瞬即逝
So don't you worry about what you see it will pass
别为眼前困境过分忧虑 终将云开雾散
Days turn to nights nights turn to years
白昼化作黑夜 黑夜累积成年
Years turn to how the f**k we make it in here
岁月流转 我们竟在此挣扎求生
My barracks average couple fights a day
军营里每日冲突不断
Get you locked in a hole wont see the light of day
将你囚禁暗牢 永不见天光
And I feel like I'm just writing my life away
恍若执笔写尽 此生皆虚妄
I never thought sh*t could end up quite this way
未料命运竟 荒诞至此状
There's a war going on outside no man is safe from
外界战火纷飞 无人得安详
I'm here for the good fight only the fakes run
我为正义而战 懦夫尽逃亡
I'm here for the purple heart if I cant take one
若难获紫心勋章 亦誓死不降
For my team or my siblings whats my reason for living
为手足而活 此即生命之光
I love my niggas more then anything else
手足情深 胜世间万物长
This wars about my family me needing the wealth
这场战争为家人而战 我渴望财富加身
You don't understand how useless as men we felt
你怎懂我们曾多像无用的废人
Till you become a 5 star general
直到你成为五星上将那刻来临
Shout out to my niggas that's locked in jail
向铁窗后我的兄弟们致敬
P o w s that's still in the war for real
那些仍在真实战场搏命的战俘身影
Did you ever notice before you think life goes fast
可曾注意生命转瞬即逝
So don't you worry about what you see it will pass
别为眼前困境过分忧虑 终将云开雾散

这场战争如山姆大叔般压榨着他们
Hear the noise make the right choice understand
在喧嚣中明辨是非 做出正确抉择
Every choice that he make he makes it for his fame
