Yeah
是的
Lemonade to the brim, key, sippin' out my glass
檸檬水溢出來了,快把我的那杯喝掉
Listening the people talk, watching people pass
聽著人們談話,看著人們走過
I never understood why we act the way we do
我一直不明白我們為什麼會這樣做
Talkin bout our riches and watches and new shoes
談論我們的財富,手錶和新鞋
Like no one really cares, maybe first world citizens
好像沒人真的在乎,也許是第一世界的公民
While other children in the world keep on shivering
而世界上的其他孩子仍在顫抖
We stand and watch, only give them what we littering
我們站著看,只給他們我們扔掉不要的東西
Sin inside our hearts slowly, burning us to smithereens
罪惡在我們心中慢慢地燃燒,把我們燒成碎片
Yeah
是的
I wanna move out of this country
我想離開這個國家
Stuffin' out my mouth, while these other people are hungry
在別人餓的時候,我卻在嘴裡吃東西
Sick of this me, uh, sick and in a sea
我受夠了,在大海裡受夠了
When the kingdom finally come, we the villains on the scene, man
當王國最終來臨的時候,我們這些惡棍就會出現
I don't wanna be, and neither do you
我不想,你也不想
Cause we aint doing our best and you know that is the truth
因為我們沒有盡力而為,你知道那是事實
So let's stop, and give praise to the lord
所以讓我們停下來,讚美上帝
Yesterday is in the past, and tomorrow we'll move forward
昨天已經過去,明天我們將繼續前進
You say, I'm rich and wealthy
你說我十分富有
But surely you are unhealthy
但你肯定是不健康的
You're pitiful, blind, poor , all of your treasures are melting
你可憐、盲目、貧窮,你所有的財富都在消逝
Come buy my gold, become rich
來買我的金子,變得富有
I 'll dress you in white clothes to cover all of your sins
我會給你穿上白色的衣服來掩蓋你所有的罪惡
Cause godliness with Contentment is great gain
因為知足常樂是最大的收穫
Never could accumulatin' wealth give you a great name
財富的積累永遠不會給你帶來好名聲
The envy and greed that you feel when you need

More you fall in love with the money, the root of all evil
你越是愛上了金錢,萬惡之源
Our material desires are those of the wanting mind

So even with more, we never feel satisfied
所以即使擁有再多,我們也不會感到滿足
The things we buy to pacify, the empty feelin' inside
我們買東西來安撫內心空虛的感覺
As if, man made things will help us feel alive
就好像人造的東西會讓我們覺得自己還活著
I realized my religion was materialism
我意識到我的信仰是唯物主義
Not realizing God gave, so i could be a giver
沒有意識到上帝給予了我,所以我可以成為一個給予者
It's not for me to live in luxury, but to live more brotherly
我不是要過奢侈的生活,而是要過得更平淡一些
To be able to give cheerfully, when my brother need

Aint it envy and greed that makes a man bust guns?
難道不是嫉妒和貪婪使人繳械嗎?
We worry bout trust funds, but we can't trust funds
我們擔憂信仰的基石,但我們不能完全相信
Put your trust in God above, cause it's him who loves
把你對上帝的信任放在首位,因為他普愛眾生
Your true worth is not defined by dollar signs that you touch
你真正的價值不是由你觸摸到的美元符號來定義的
Now i aint jokin', everybody's broken
我不是在開玩笑,每個人都崩潰了
It can get dark with the sin that we soaked in
我們沉浸的罪惡可能會變得黑暗
So we gotta reach out, find the right path
所以我們必須伸出援手,找到正確的道路
If a brother's falling down, then you better lend a hand, uh
如果有兄弟倒下了,你最好幫幫忙
God is good, and we are not
上帝慈悲為懷,而我們不是
Soon enough all our bodies gonna rot
很快我們的身體就會腐爛
Yeah this life on earth is not what we want
是的,這種生活到底不是我們想要的
So give all you got to get to heaven when you gone
所以當你離開時,盡你所能去天堂
