Oh girl, this boat is sinking,
喔 ~ 女孩，這條船正慢慢往下沉
There’s no sea left for me,
周圍不停湧進海水
And how the sky gets heavy
為何天空漸趨沉重
when you are underneath it
當妳在其覆蓋之下
Oh I want to sail away from here
喔 ~ 我想順著風、隨著浪遠航到別處
And God
上帝啊
He came down down down down down down down down
他就這樣出現在我眼前
And sailed
跟著航行
Nothing
什麼也沒說

He rolled up asked him what he was sipping on
他靠近了朋友，問他在喝什麼？
Said lean, you wanna hit it dawg?
朋友說道：Lean，來一杯嗎兄弟？
hat’s the same stuff Weezy sippin’ huh?
這是 Lil Wayne 常喝的那種嗎？
And tons of other rappers that be spitting hard
很多饒舌歌手也愛喝的飲料
Yup yup five a bone
yes，來個一品脫先
(品脫是一種容量單位)
when he passed him that styrofoam
他遞給他一杯
The easter pink, heard it in a rhyme before
好粉紅的顏色，這配方之前有聽過
finally got to see what all the hype was on
終於可以知道這喝下去有多爽
And then he took a sip sitting in the Lincoln
然後他做在林肯車裡吸了幾口
thinking he was pimping as he listened to the system
聽著車子裡的音響，身體開始飄飄然漸漸癱軟
Little did he know that it was just as addictive as base
飄飄然時，他知道，這段是低音貝斯
not the kind of hit from the kick drum
而不是一種腳踩的大鼓
Hot box let the base bump
悶熱的車子交織出貝斯的旋律
Take it to face, gulp
將杯子拿到臉前，一口氣吞了它
Months later the use went up
幾個月後，開始有點喝過量了
and every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff
各種副作用開始伴隨著那粉紅鬼東西而來
But Goddamn he loved that feeling
天殺的，他卻愛死那剛喝下去的愉悅感覺
Purple rain coated in the throat
反正把咳嗽糖漿喝下去
Just so healing
副作用就沒了啊
Medicine alleviate the sickness
藥物減輕了副作用
liquid to fix and it comes with a cost
雖然減輕了，但上癮後藥只會越服越多才有效用
Wake up, cold sweat, scratching, itching
醒醒吧，開始冒冷汗、發癢、全身都抓痕
Trying to escape the skin that barley fit him
不舒服到想逃離這個殘缺的軀體
Gone, get another bottle just get a couple
swallows headed towards the bottom
藥罐一個個見底，一瓶吞完再換一瓶
couldn’t get off it
無法脫離掌控
Didn’t even think he had a problem
卻還是無法察覺這些問題
Though he couldn’t sleep without getting nauseous
儘管他因為噁心想吐而無法安穩的睡覺
Room spinning
突然，天旋地轉
Thinking he might of sipped just a little bit too much of that cough syrup
他意識到，是不是喝了太多咳嗽糖漿了啊
His eyelids closed shut
他的眼睛慢慢的闔上
Sat back in the chair
身體往後跌坐在沙發
clutching that cup
杯子仍然在手上
Girlfriend came and a couple of hours later said his name
女朋友來了，幾個小時後覺得不對勁，呼喊他的名字
shook him, but he never got up
搖動他的身體，但是他卻一點反應也沒有

Never got up, never got up
一點反應也沒有，一點反應也沒有
We live on the cusp of death thinking that it won’t be us
死神總是突然降臨，我們卻認為死神不會眷顧自己
It won’t be us, it won’t be us, it won’t be us
死神不會眷顧我的，死神不會眷顧我的，死神不會眷顧我的
Nah, it won’t be us
不，死神不會眷顧我的

Now he just wanted to act like them
這行為就是一個學一個
He just wanted to rap like him
他只是想跟 Lil Wayne 一樣厲害
(是不是學他吸毒過量，饒舌就可以跟他一樣)
Us as rappers underestimate the power and the effects we have on these kids
饒舌歌手們不要低估你們的影響力，你們做的任何事都會影響把你們當偶像的青少年
(像是毒品、性愛、暴力、語言)
Blunt passed,ash in a tin, pack being pushed, harassed by the feds
吸著大麻，抖著菸灰，賣著毒品，都會被警察抓
The fact of it is most people that rap like this talking about some shit they haven’t lived
事實上，就是有一堆不入流的饒舌歌手，真實生活沒靈感可寫就隨便找個主題來寫
Surprise, you know the drill
驚喜的是，你也知道這些淺規則
Trapped in a box to climb record sales
寫某些主題很容易可以騙到唱片銷售
Follow the formula
只要照著暢銷主題公式
violence, drugs and sex sells
暴力、毒品還有性交易
So we try to sound like someone else
我們也可以學他們一起暢銷
This is not Californication
但這不是 Californication
(Californication:電視節目，暴力性愛與毒品是節目的三大主題)
There’s no way to glorify this pavement
我沒辦法證明我的人生道路就是對的
Syrup, percocet, and an eighth day will leave you broke, depressed and emotionally vacant
但感冒糖漿、止痛藥等，這些會上癮的藥物，不只耗費你的金錢，讓你變的消沉，思想空洞生活空虛

Despite how Lil Wayne lives
不管 Lil Wayne 因為毒品寫出多少歌
It’s not conducive to be creative
對於創意絕對不是一個好的途徑
And I know cause he’s my favorite
而我知道是因為他是我的偶像
And I know cause I was off that same mix
而我知道是因為我也一樣
Rationalize the shit that I try after I listen to dedication
因為我聽了他的歌之後，我也去嚐了 Lean

But he’s an alien
但他是個外星人，至少和我不一樣
I sip that shit pass out or play playstation
我喝了那狗屁飲料後，呈現半昏迷且什麼都不想做
Months later I’m in the same place
幾個月後我也上癮了
No music made, feeling like a failure
但我沒有創造任何音樂，整個人就像個廢物
And trust me it’s not dope to be 25 and move back to your parents basement
相信我別像個25歲的笨蛋，無所事事只能靠父母
I’ve seen my peoples dreams die
我已經看了太多身邊的人失去夢想
I see what they can be denied
他們的潛力都被毒品殘害
And “weeds not a drug” that’s denial
認為大麻不是毒品就是殘害的開始
Groundhog day life repeat each time
重複吸著大麻每一天
I’ve seen oxycontin take 3 lives
我已經看到止痛藥奪走了三條人命
I grew up with them, we used to chief dimes
我和他們一起長大，我們以前常常賺了錢就買大麻
I’ve seen cocaine bring out the demons inside
我曾經看到魔鬼手上拿著一包可卡因
Cheating and lying
伴隨欺騙與撒謊
Friendship cease, no peace in the mind
友誼消失殆盡，內心不再平靜
Stealing and taking anything to fix the pieces inside
偷竊與變賣東西就為了填補沒有大麻的空虛感
Broken, hopeless, headed no where
破碎，無可救藥，生活沒有目標
only motivation for what the dealer’s supplying
唯一的動力只有藥頭手上的那些東西
That rush, that drug, that dope
為了藥物給你的興奮與愉悅，笨蛋
Those pills, that crumb, that roach
止痛藥，可卡因，大麻菸蒂
Thinking I would never do that
那些事我以為我絕對不會做
Not that drug
不會吸食毒品
Growing up nobody ever does
沒人想過長大後會學壞
Until your stuck looking in the mirror
直到你看著鏡中的自己
like I can’t believe what I’ve become
像我一樣，我無法相信我竟然做了那些蠢事
Swore I was gonna be someone
小時候發誓我要像某人一樣有名
And growing up everyone always does
而長大後發現卻是
We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz
我們出賣了曾經的夢想與潛能，只為了逃避現實殘酷的一切
Just keep me up, keep me up
請我繼續前進而不再吸毒，請我繼續前進而不再吸毒
Hollywood here we come
好萊烏，我們這就來了~
(反諷，Hollywood不就充斥著這些東西嗎)
