Let Nas Down - J. Cole (J. 科尔) // Written by：Jermaine Cole/Elite/Fela Anikulapo-Kuti // Freedom or jail clips inserted A baby's bein' born same time a man is murdered 自由还是进监狱，点击进去 The beginning and end so far as rap goes 一个婴儿诞生的同时，一个罪犯被判死 It's only natural I explain my plateau 开始与结束，隔着如此大的鸿沟 And also what defines my name 这只是自然现象，我解释为我的停滞期 Yeah long live the idols 同时将它作为我的名字 May they never be your rivals 偶像万岁 Pac was like Jesus 希望他们永远都不会成为你的敌人 Nas wrote the Bible Pac就像耶稣一样 Now what you're 'bout to Nas书写着圣经 Hear's a tale of glory and sin 如今你打算 No I.D. my mentor now let the story begin 听那荣耀与罪恶的故事 I used to print out Nas raps and tape 'em up on my wall 不 我的身份是我的良师益友，现在，让我们讲述吧 My *s thought they was words 我通常在墙上指出Nas的说唱和磁带 But it was pictures I saw 我的兄弟们认为那是字迹 And since I wanted to draw 但是我看到的却是鬼画桃符 I used to read 'em in awe 当我想要画画的时候 Then he dropped Stillmatic 我曾经带着敬意读过他的文字 Rocked the cleanest Velour 然而他却陷入了本位主义 Fast forward who thought 晃动着最纯洁的天鹅绒 That I would meet him on tour? 快速前进，谁会想到 I'm earnin' stripes now ni**a 我会与他相遇在旅途 Got Adidas galore 我现在穿着囚衣，兄弟 Backstage I shook his hand 有着很多的Adidas Let him know that he's the man 在后台，我握着他的手 When he said he was a fan 让他明白，他是主角 It was to hard to understand 当他说他是一个粉丝 No time to soak up the moment though 实在是太令人费解了 Cause I was in a jam 然而没有太多时间去回味那些时光 Hov askin' where's the record 因为我在一个监狱里 That the radio could play 他问道，唱片在哪里 And I was strikin' out for months 那样就可以在收音机中播放了 9th inning feeling fear 我已经出局好几个月了 Jeter under pressure 在第九局的时候感到害怕了 Made the biggest hit of my career Jeter在强大的压力之下 But at first that wasn't clear 开启了我事业的最高峰 *s had no idea 但是刚开始的时候，一切都还不太明了 Dion called me when it dropped 兄弟们都不太了解 Sounded sad but sincere Dion呼唤我，当它出现颓势 Told me Nas heard 听上去很悲伤，但是却很亲切 Your single and he hate that sh*t 告诉我Nas听到了 Said you the one yo why you make that sh*t? 你的歌声，他很讨厌那东西 I can't believe I let Nas down 说你就是唯一的，干嘛制造出那种垃圾 Damn my heart sunk to my stomach 我简直不敢相信，我让Nas沮丧 I can't believe I let Nas down 去他的，我的心沉没了 I got defensive on the phone 我简直不敢相信，我让Nas沮丧 Resentment was in my tone f**k it 我对电话有了抵抗情绪 Yeah long live the idols 表现在我的声调上，去他的 May they never be your rivals 偶像万岁 Pac was like Jesus 希望他们永远都不会成为你的敌人 Nas wrote the Bible Pac就像耶稣一样 Now what you're 'bout to Nas书写着圣经 Hear's a tale of glory and sin 如今你打算 No I.D. my mentor now let the story begin 听那荣耀与罪恶的故事 I couldn't help but think 不 我的身份是我的良师益友，现在，让我们讲述吧 That maybe I had made a mistake 我忍不住去想 I mean you made "You Owe Me" dog 也许我犯了一个错误 I thought that you could relate 我的意思是，你说了你欠我的那句话 But while I shot up the charts 我以为你会联系起来 You mean tellin' me 但是当我在排行榜前进时 That I was not up to par 你想要告诉我 When I followed my heart 我没有达到标准 Granted my heart was tainted by my mind 当我跟随我的心时 I kept on sayin' 当然，我的心被我的思想玷污了 Where's the hits? 我不停地说着 You ain't got none 哪里有什么轰动一时的音乐 You know Jay would never 竟没有一个 Put your album out without none 你知道Jay从来都不会 And dog you know how come 让你的唱片不会轰动一时 Labels are archaic 还有那愚蠢的人，你知道怎么一回事 Formulaic with their outcomes 唱片公司已经有一些年头 They don't know 墨守陈规 得出了他们结论 They just study the charts 他们不明白 Me I study the shows 他们只是在研究排行榜 The fans study their hearts 我在研究着那演出 I had a feelin' I was killin' 那些粉丝，在研究着他们的偶像 And this music we were spillin' out 我有一种被杀死的感觉 Would change lives forever 这种音乐已经够多了 F**k the label put it out 能够永久地改变生活 Friday Night Lights blew 去他的唱片公司，不管了 That was classic number 2 星期五的夜晚，灯光闪耀 Now it seemed as if 那是经典歌曲排名第2 The Nas comparisons was comin' true 如今好像 Still no release date from the label Nas变得比较现实了 Are they insane? 依然没有来自唱片公司的发行日期 Gooch told me play the game 他们都疯了吗 To change the game but on the way Gooch告诉我好好玩游戏 I let Nas down I got noone to blame 来改变游戏，但是计划破产了 I'm ashamed I let Nas down 我让Nas失望了，我没有权利去指责任何一个人 But this is God's plan 我很羞愧，我让Nas失望了 You could never understand f**k it 但是这是上帝的指示 Yeah long live the idols 你永远也不会懂，去他的 May they never be your rivals 偶像万岁 Pac was like Jesus 希望他们永远也不要成为你的对手 Nas wrote the Bible Pac就像耶稣 Now what you're 'bout to Nas书写圣经 Hear's a tale of glory and sin 如今你将要 No I.D. my mentor now let the story begin 听那荣耀与罪恶的故事 I always believed in the bigger picture 不 我的身份是我的良师益友，现在，让我们讲述吧 If I could get them *s 我总是很相信那些大幅的照片 To listen outside my core 如果我可以得到他们，兄弟 Then I can open a door 出来聆听我的心声 Reintroduce 'em to honesty 那么我会打开一扇门 Show 'em that they need more 以真诚待他们 The difference between 给他们更多需要的 The pretenders and the Kendrick Lamars 他们的差别 And so I took the fall like the son of the Lord 虚伪者与 Kendrick Lamars之间 On the cross 同时我会像上帝的儿子一样替人受过 Dyin' for that fake sh*t you *s bought 在那十字架上 For the past decade 为那些虚假的东西 If I should pass please let this be my last essay 你几十年前所买的 Therefore I write from the heart 如果我必须传递快乐，让这一切成为最后的讲述 Apologies to OG's for sacrificin' my art 那是从我的心中抒发出来的 But I'm here for a greater purpose 向OG's说抱歉，对我的艺术做的贡献 I knew right from the start 但是我来这里，是有更大的目的 I'm just a man of the people 我知道这仅仅是开始而已 Not above but equal 我只是许多人中的一个 And for the greater good 没有高高在上，都是平等的 I walk amongst the evil 为了更加美好的事情 Don't cry mama 我混迹于恶魔当中 This the life I choose myself 不要哭泣，妈妈 Just pray along the way 这样的生活，是我自己选择的 That I don't lose myself 就在路边进行祈祷吧 This is for the ni**a 祈祷我不会迷失自己 That said that hip-hop was dead 这是为了我的兄弟 I went to Hell to resurrect it 那些说hip-hop已经死亡的兄弟 How could you fail to respect it?
