juicy (album version)

Yeah, this album is dedicated to all the teachers that told me
[00:-5:00]
I'd never amount to nothin', to all the people that lived above the
[00: -4:00]
buildings that I was hustlin' in front of that called the police on
[00:-3:00]
me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughters,
[00:-2:00]
and all the niggaz in the struggle, you know what I'm sayin'?
婊子們都靠邊，混蛋們安分點

Yeah，這個專輯就是給當年那些老師
Uh-ha, it's all good baby bay-bee, uh
誰說我只能一事無成的，還有我在街邊賣毒時

努力想賺點錢餵養女兒的時候
It was all a dream
住我身後樓裡給警察打電話的
I used to read Word Up magazine
還有那些仍在掙扎的兄弟
Salt'n'Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Uh-ha，現在還都不錯，baby~
Hangin' pictures on my wall
一切都是夢
Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
原來我還在看Word Up! 雜誌（第一本針對Rap的雜誌）
I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
看豪車裡的Salt'n'Pepa 和Heavy D（兩位都是早期很有影響力的Rapper）
Smokin' weed and bamboo, sippin' on private stock
照片還掛在牆上
Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
每週六的Rap Attack, 聽Mr. Magic, Marley Marl（Rap Attack是早期針對Rap的電台秀，由Mr. Magic主持，DJ是Marley Marl）
With the hat to match
磁帶聽到底
Remember Rappin' Duke, duh-ha, duh-ha
然後卷一支大麻，喝一口Private Stock（一種便宜的麥芽酒）
You never thought that hip hop would take it this far
等等，我還要穿我的紅黑夾克
Now I'm in the limelight 'cause I rhyme tight
再找個能配上的帽子
Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
記不記得Rappin' Duke? （早期Rapper，副歌裡有一段是”duh-ha, duh-ha ”）
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
誰能想到Hip-Hop能走這麼遠
Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner
現在我頭頂光環，因為押韻的巧
Peace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri
厚積薄發，像'93世貿那樣爆炸
Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starsky
生來有罪，贏家的另一頭
I'm blowin' up like you thought I would
想想我原來晚餐還只能吃沙丁魚罐頭
Call the crib, same number same hood
Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri安息（Ron G，早期音樂人； Brucey B, Kid Capri都是DJ）
It's all good
Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski 千古（Funkmaster Flex也是DJ，Lovebug Starski是老派MC）
Uh, and if you don't know, now you know, nigga, uh
我像你能想到的那樣爆發

打給原來的家，相同的街區相同的號碼（這句實在不懂、、）
[02: 22.40][01:11.66]You know very well who you are
現在還都不錯
[02:27.57][01:16.89]Don't let em hold you down, reach for the stars
如果你不知道，那現在知道了
[02:32.58][01:22.07]You had a goal, but not that many
你很清楚自己是誰
[02:37.06][01 :26.52]'cause you're the only one I'll give you good and plenty
別讓其他人干擾你，追尋自己的想法
[01:31.49]
你有目標，但沒有那麼多
I made the change from a common thief
因為你是唯一，我會給你Good & Plenty（雙關，Good & Plenty也是一種Biggie愛吃的糖）
To up close and personal with Robin Leach
我從小混混完成了轉變
And I'm far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all day
一路向上爬接近到Robin Leach（代表奢靡生活的主持人）
Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way
不屑便宜貨，每天只吸高級貨
The Moet and Alize keep me pissy
遍撒愛液，這就是布魯克林的感覺
Girls used to diss me
Moet和Alize還總來惹我
Now they write letters 'cause they miss me
姑娘們都笑我
I never thought it could happen, this rappin' stuff
現在她們寫信因為想我
I was too used to packin' gats and stuff
從沒想過Rap能成為我的未來
Now honies play me close like butter played toast
我只是習慣裝槍和傢伙
From the Mississippi down to the east coast
女孩們像麵包上的蜂蜜一樣黏上來
Condos in Queens, indo for weeks
從密西西比一直到東海岸
Sold out seats to hear Biggie Smalls speak
皇后區的公寓，好幾週被抽光
Livin' life without fear
門票賣光，因為愛聽Biggie說唱
Puttin' 5 karats in my baby girl's ears
不用擔驚受怕的生活
Lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool
給寶貝女兒帶上5克拉的大鑽
Considered a fool 'cause I dropped out of high school
午飯後加頓大餐，到泳池邊接受采訪
Stereotypes of a black male misunderstood
又只是被當作一個中途翹學的傻子
And it's still all good
充斥對黑人誤解的陳詞濫調

但一切都還好
Uh...and if you don't know, now you know, nigga
如果你不懂，現在該差不多了

你很清楚自己是誰
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
別讓其他人干擾你，追尋自己的想法
When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this
你有目標，但沒有那麼多
50 inch screen, money green leather sofa
因為你是唯一，我會給你Good & Plenty
Got two rides , a limousine with a chauffeur
玩任天堂，世嘉的遊戲
Phone bill about two G's flat
這些我沒錢的時候根本不敢想
No need to worry, my accountant handles that
看著50寸的電視，鈔票綠的皮革沙發
And my whole crew is loungin'
開兩輛車，再給豪車配個司機
Celebratin' every day, no more public housin'
電話費200刀
Thinkin' back on my one-room shack
不用擔心，讓會計去處理
Now my mom pimps a Ac' with minks on her back
我的人只用閒逛就行
And she loves to show me off, of course
每天慶祝，不用幾家同住
Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
又想起原來住的那件小屋
We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
現在媽媽穿著貂開著Acura
No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
當然她也愛到處炫耀
Birthdays was the worst days
每次在The Source看到我就開始笑（The Source，很受歡迎的嘻哈雜誌）
Now we sip champagne when we thirst-ay
原來房東羞辱我們的時候擔驚受怕
Uh, damn right I like the life I live
沒有暖氣，想著聖誕為何錯過我們
'Cause I went from negative topositive
生日是最糟的一天
And it's all...
現在我們渴了就喝香檳

我就是喜歡我過的生活
It's all good
從逆差到順差

到現在..
...and if you don't know, now you know, nigga, uh
到現在也不差

如果你不懂，現在該差不多了
Representin' B-Town in the house, Junior Mafia, mad flavor, uh
你很清楚自己是誰
Uh, yeah, a-ight
別讓其他人干擾你，追尋自己的想法

你有目標，但沒有那麼多
