Gangsta's Paradise

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
正如我穿行過滿是死亡陰影的山谷
I take a look at my life and realise there's nuthin' left
我回顧以往生活發覺什麼也沒有留下
'Cuz I've been blasting and laughing so long, that
因為我在葉子和鬼笑中沉迷太久
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
甚至我媽都覺得我早都瘋了
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
但是我從不為一個沒種的人祈禱
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
被當作廢物一樣對待你可能從未聽說
You better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking
你最好注意說話的方式走路上時候長點眼
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
你和你的伙計們可能會橫屍街頭
I really hate to trip but i gotta loc
我真的討厭出行，但又不得不去
As I Grow I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
當我長大時我出現在打槍後的煙霧裡，好傻
I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
我是那種黑幫頭目小弟想成為的樣子
on my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight.
晚上在街頭燈光下跪著祈禱
