Changes
我也沒有想到自己有一天會常常聽GANGSTA RAP
這張專輯裡面的部分歌的歌詞的確會讓我昏倒
(我看日譯的 如果它的翻譯正確的話 喔喔 真的...)
雖然如此 2pac的歌聲還是有相當大的吸引力
尤其是這幾首歌讓我印象深刻
所以 想跟大家分享
當自己一個人開始在國外生活後常常想
很多很多元原來以為正確的、屬於正義的價值觀
並不是絕對的 正確或正義都是相對的
不同的時代 不同的社會 就有不同的正確、不同的正義
我現在只能以喜歡/不喜歡為判斷標準而行動
這看起來很簡單且很自私
我覺得 其實並不是如此喔
如果採取這個方式過日子
必須要花很多時間認真思考
才可以知道自己喜歡/不喜歡那個事物
2pac是GANGSTA RAP的大明星
他當時受到很多批評 也入獄過
不過不知道為什麼 我看了他的生平 看了好可怕的歌詞
還是無法停止聽他的歌
Changes
[1]
Come on come on
I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
is life worth living should I blast myself?
I’m tired of bein’ poor & even worse I’m black
my stomach hurts so I’m lookin’ for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
pull the trigger kill a nigga he’s a hero
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
one less hungry mouth on the welfare
First ship ’em dope & let ’em deal the brothers
give ’em guns step back watch ’em kill each other
It’s time to fight back that’s what Huey said
2 shots in the dark now Huey’s dead
I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
unless we share with each other
We gotta start makin’ changes
learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers
and that’s how it’s supposed to be
How can the Devil take a brother if he’s close to me?
I’d love to go back to when we played as kids
but things changed, and that’s the way it is
[Bridge w/ changing ad libs]
Come on come on
That’s just the way it is
Things’ll never be the same
That’s just the way it is
aww yeah
[Repeat]
[2]
I see no changes all I see is racist faces
misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under I wonder what it takes to make this
one better place, let’s erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people they’ll be acting right
’cause both black and white is smokin’ crack tonight
and only time we chill is when we kill each other
it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven sent
We ain’t ready, to see a black President, uhh
It ain’t a secret don’t conceal the fact
the penitentiary’s packed, and it’s filled with blacks
But some things will never change
try to show another way but you stayin’ in the dope game
Now tell me what’s a mother to do
bein’ real don’t appeal to the brother in you
You gotta operate the easy way
”I made a G today” But you made it in a sleazy way
sellin’ crack to the kid. ” I gotta get paid,”
Well hey, well that’s the way it is
[Bridge]
[Talking:]
We gotta make a change...
It’s time for us as a people to start makin’ some changes.
Let’s change the way we eat, let’s change the way we live
and let’s change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn’t working so it’s on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.
[3]
And still I see no changes can’t a brother get a little peace
It’s war on the streets & the war in the Middle East
Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
so the police can bother me
And I ain’t never did a crime I ain’t have to do
But now I’m back with the facts givin’ it back to you
Don’t let ’em jack you up, back you up,
crack you up and pimp smack you up
You gotta learn to hold ya own
they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
But tell the cops they can’t touch this
I don’t trust this when they try to rush I bust this
That’s the sound of my tool you say it ain’t cool
my mama didn’t raise no fool
And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
& I never get to lay back
’Cause I always got to worry ’bout the pay backs
some punk that I roughed up way back
comin’ back after all these years
rat-tat-tat-tat-tat that’s the way it is uhh
[Bridge ’til fade]

2pac - Dear Mama
You are appreciated
[Verse One: 2Pac]
When I was young me and my mama had beef
Seventeen years old kicked out on the streets
Though back at the time, I never thought I’d see her face
Ain’t a woman alive that could take my mama’s place
Suspended from school; and scared to go home, I was a fool
with the big boys, breakin all the rules
I shed tears with my baby sister
Over the years we was poorer than the other little kids
And even though we had different daddy’s, the same drama
When things went wrong we’d blame mama
I reminice on the stress I caused, it was hell
Huggin on my mama from a jail cell
And who’d think in elementary?
Heeey! I see the penitentiary, one day
And runnin from the police, that’s right
Mama catch me, put a whoopin to my backside
And even as a crack fiend, mama
You always was a black queen, mama
I finally understand
for a woman it ain’t easy tryin to raise a man
You always was committed
A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it
There’s no way I can pay you back
But the plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated
[Chorus: Reggie Green & ”Sweet Franklin” w/ 2Pac]
Lady...
Don’t cha know we love ya? Sweet lady
Dear mama
Place no one above ya, sweet lady
You are appreciated
Don’t cha know we love ya?
[second and third chorus, ”And dear mama” instead of ”Dear mama”]
[Verse Two: 2Pac]
Now ain’t nobody tell us it was fair
No love from my daddy cause the coward wasn’t there
He passed away and I didn’t cry, cause my anger
wouldn’t let me feel for a stranger
They say I’m wrong and I’m heartless, but all along
I was lookin for a father he was gone
I hung around with the Thugs, and even though they sold drugs
They showed a young brother love
I moved out and started really hangin
I needed money of my own so I started slangin
I ain’t guilty cause, even though I sell rocks
It feels good puttin money in your mailbox
I love payin rent when the rent’s due
I hope ya got the diamond necklace that I sent to you
Cause when I was low you was there for me
And never left me alone because you cared for me
And I could see you comin home after work late
You’re in the kitchen tryin to fix us a hot plate
Ya just workin with the scraps you was given
And mama made miracles every Thanksgivin
But now the road got rough, you’re alone
You’re tryin to raise two bad kids on your own
And there’s no way I can pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated
[Chorus]
[Verse Three: 2Pac]
Pour out some liquor and I reminsce, cause through the drama
I can always depend on my mama
And when it seems that I’m hopeless
You say the words that can get me back in focus
When I was sick as a little kid
To keep me happy there’s no limit to the things you did
And all my childhood memories
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me
And even though I act craaazy
I gotta thank the Lord that you made me
There are no words that can express how I feel
You never kept a secret, always stayed real
And I appreciate, how you raised me
And all the extra love that you gave me
I wish I could take the pain away
If you can make it through the night there’s a brighter day
Everything will be alright if ya hold on
It’s a struggle everyday, gotta roll on
And there’s no way I can pay you back
But my plan is to show you that I understand
You are appreciated
[Chorus]
Sweet lady
And dear mama
Dear mama
Lady [3X]

地球只有一個 桑:
當初我看他歌詞的日譯就快要昏倒
不過聽久了之後發現
他的聲音很有力量 而且很性感
在日本聽這類音樂的人往往被認為「在澀谷混混的、腦袋空空的不良少年」 如果我繼續住在東京郊外住宅區 就不太可能嘗試聽2pac吧
我在台灣無法照日本社會的標準去生活
無法套用原生社會的標準造成我的困擾和痛苦的同時
給我一種解放
對我來說 聽嘻哈音樂也是一種解放喔
雖然對它的脈絡還是似懂非懂(害羞)

補充我在2pac的歌中 最喜歡的是changes喔 2007-04-30 18:55:52
我之前有個學長超級喜歡2PAC的～
他還介紹我聽2PAC的歌。
我學長還說2PAC是混黑道的...
之後也是死於黑道仇殺...
總而言之..他的歌我只聽過一兩首..
其實也沒什麼印象了^^
只不過雪子喜歡聽他的歌..
感覺還蠻意外的！
就好像，如果我跟我朋友講說，我喜歡聽「古典音樂」...他們也會不可置信。
2PAC 西海岸傳奇人物 但他畢竟還是東岸人
死於嘻哈恩怨 R.I.P 2PAC
妳可以聽看看他的 LIFE GOES ON
