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
風拍打在我的脊背
Mind slipped back into the past
心緒追憶著過去
All my childhood bruises in a rush back to me
幼時的傷害湧上心頭

每當到一個新環境
New kid in every class
總有一陣寂靜
There was always a silence
然後他們會問
Then they'd ask
我的皮膚怎麼了
What was wrong with my skin
接著他們大笑起來
And then they'd laugh
就好像這是我能選擇
As if I would choose this
噢孩子是多麼愚蠢
Oh kids can be so stupid
孩子是多麼愚蠢

孩子是多麼
Kids can be so stupid
不是完整的我自己卻也不夠充分
Kids can be so
我的口音如此閃耀

但我想要的只是一個朋友
Wasn't myself, but it wasn't enough
我需要的只是一個機會
My foreign tongue shone through too strong
一個證明我與平常人無異的機會
All that I wanted was a friend
別害怕我只是有點不一樣
All that I needed was a chance
帶我去你的俱樂部吧好嗎
A chance to show that I was just like them
讓我證明我足夠好了可以嗎
Don't be scared that I'm a little different
我走在路上
Won't you let me into your club
風拍打在我的脊背
Won't you let me prove I'm enough
心緒追憶著過去

幼時的傷害湧上心頭
I was walking down the path, I was walking it
每當到一個新環境
Wind was biting at my back, it was biting me
總有一陣寂靜
Mind slipped back into the past
然後他們會問
All my childhood bruises in a rush back to me
我的皮膚怎麼了

接著他們大笑起來
New kid in every class
就好像這是我能選擇
There was always a silence
噢孩子是多麼愚蠢
Then they'd ask
有時候孩子是多麼殘忍
What was wrong with my skin
很多時候我努力想要成為一個與眾不同的人
And then they'd laugh
若你也曾困於我的牢籠你會做出同樣的選擇
As if I would choose this
我甚至無法休息兄弟他們真的厭惡我的膚色
Oh kids can be so
黑莓越黑暴力越甚而視野也更清晰
Kids are just ****ing cruel sometimes, you know?

你看見了吧這既定條件
There's many times that I tried to be someone different
孩子們指指點點地嬉皮笑臉
You would do the same if you stuck inside of my prison
父母們從不傾聽
I couldn't catch a break, man, they really hated my pigment
他們與那些從沒愛過我的女人們爭吵打鬧
The blacker the berry, sweeter the violence, clearer the vision
把他們的憤恨變成了偉大
Yeah
如今再也沒有能觸動我的靈魂
You can see it, the pre-existing condition
他們因為我來自南方的黝黑膚色而攻擊我
The kids are pointing and laughing
無論是停車場槍殺事件還是此刻像條狗一般對著我狂吠
The parents that never listen
從沒想過我的移民隊伍越來越龐大
From dissin', fussin' and fightin ' with bitches that never loved me
你也許還是個種族主義者
Turned their hatred to greatness
那麼到底是誰愚蠢？
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
風拍打在我的脊背
From parking- lot abuse to barking at me like a lout
心緒追憶著過去
Never thought they'd see me immigrate, initiate a crowd
幼時的傷害湧上心頭
And you probably still a racist
每當到一個新環境
Who the **** is stupid now?
總有一陣寂靜

然後他們會問
I was walking down the path, I was walking it
我的皮膚怎麼了
Wind was biting at my back, it was biting me
接著他們大笑起來
Mind slipped back into the past
就好像這是我能選擇
All my childhood bruises in a rush back to me
噢孩子是多麼愚蠢

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
