kids can be so stupid

I was walking down the path, I was walking it
我走在路上
Wind was biting at my back, it was biting me
风拍打在我的脊背
Mind slipped back into the past
心绪追忆着过去
All my childhood bruises in a rush back to me
幼时的伤害涌上心头

每当到一个新环境
New kid in every class
总有一阵寂静
There was always a silence
然后他们会问
Then they'd ask
我的皮肤怎么了
What was wrong with my skin
接着他们大笑起来
And then they'd laugh
就好像这是我能选择
As if I would choose this
噢 孩子是多么愚蠢
Oh kids can be so stupid
孩子是多么愚蠢

孩子是多么
Kids can be so stupid
不是完整的我自己 却也不够充分
Kids can be so
我的口音如此闪耀

但我想要的只是一个朋友
Wasn't myself, but it wasn't enough
我需要的只是一个机会
My foreign tongue shone through too strong
一个证明我与平常人无异的机会
All that I wanted was a friend
别害怕 我只是有点不一样
All that I needed was a chance
带我去你的俱乐部吧 好吗
A chance to show that I was just like them
让我证明我足够好了 可以吗
Don't be scared that I'm a little different
我走在路上
Won't you let me into your club
风拍打在我的脊背
Won't you let me prove I'm enough
心绪追忆着过去

幼时的伤害涌上心头
I was walking down the path, I was walking it
每当到一个新环境
Wind was biting at my back, it was biting me
总有一阵寂静
Mind slipped back into the past
然后他们会问
All my childhood bruises in a rush back to me
我的皮肤怎么了

接着他们大笑起来
New kid in every class
就好像这是我能选择
There was always a silence
噢 孩子是多么愚蠢
Then they'd ask
有时候孩子是多么残忍
What was wrong with my skin
很多时候我努力想要成为一个与众不同的人
And then they'd laugh
若你也曾困于我的牢笼 你会做出同样的选择
As if I would choose this
我甚至无法休息 兄弟 他们真的厌恶我的肤色
Oh kids can be so
黑莓越黑 暴力越甚 而视野也更清晰
Kids are just ****ing cruel sometimes, you know?

你看见了吧 这既定条件
There's many times that I tried to be someone different
孩子们指指点点地嬉皮笑脸
You would do the same if you stuck inside of my prison
父母们从不倾听
I couldn't catch a break, man, they really hated my pigment
他们与那些从没爱过我的女人们争吵打闹
The blacker the berry, sweeter the violence, clearer the vision
把他们的愤恨变成了伟大
Yeah
如今再也没有能触动我的灵魂
You can see it, the pre-existing condition
他们因为我来自南方的黝黑肤色而攻击我
The kids are pointing and laughing
无论是停车场枪杀事件还是此刻像条狗一般对着我狂吠
The parents that never listen
从没想过我的移民队伍越来越庞大
From dissin', fussin' and fightin' with bitches that never loved me
你也许还是个种族主义者
Turned their hatred to greatness
那么到底是谁愚蠢？
Now ain't a soul that can touch me
我走在路上
They were beating on my ass for being darker from the south
风拍打在我的脊背
From parking-lot abuse to barking at me like a lout
心绪追忆着过去
Never thought they'd see me immigrate, initiate a crowd
幼时的伤害涌上心头
And you probably still a racist
每当到一个新环境
Who the **** is stupid now?
总有一阵寂静

然后他们会问
I was walking down the path, I was walking it
我的皮肤怎么了
Wind was biting at my back, it was biting me
接着他们大笑起来
Mind slipped back into the past
就好像这是我能选择
All my childhood bruises in a rush back to me
噢 孩子是多么愚蠢

New kid in every class
There was always a silence
Then they'd ask
What was wrong with my skin
And then they'd laugh
As if I would choose this
Oh kids can be so stupid
