Public Enemy - Consequences

[Intro/Chorus: Paris]
Is it a, coincidence that we ain't taught truth                     是偶然嗎     我們不被教導以事實
A, coincidence that they target the youth                          他們偶然地鎖定年青人
A, coincidence everything is the same                               每一件事偶然地相同
That a message in the music ain't a part of the game           音樂中的信息  不在遊戲規則內
A, coincidence that we livin a lie                                        我們偶然地活在謊言裡
A, coincidence that we only get by                                      偶然地  我們得撐過來
A, coincidence that so many are lost                                     偶然的失去這麼多
And do prison time 'fore we notice the cost                           坐牢前我們有注意到成本嗎




It really ain't difficult to break the mold                              打破模子真的不難
And take a close look at the lies we're told                        靠近點看看我們聽到的謊言
Wipe away the facade, see we got to know                       揮去表象  看看我們需要知道的
See the plot to control and to rot the soul                          看看那敗壞靈魂的  掌權的陰謀
You can make anybody that don't read believe                     你可以讓每個不識字的人相信
anything that they see on the TV screen                              所有他們在電視上看到的事
That a lie is reality, the sky is green                                      謊話是真的     天空是綠的
That there's weapons in Iraq, and the President's clean           伊拉克有武器  而總統是好人
When it's on, thinkin you can trust police                             開始時  你覺得能信任警察
Every black is a beast and our women are cheap                 每個黑人都是野獸 而我們的女人都下賤
And that brothers gettin murdered is the way of the streets    而兄弟會被幹掉  街頭就是這樣
That it's normal to die when we still in our teens                   我們還十幾歲時就死掉  這是正常的
And that's the way it is, what's the use to try                        本來就會這樣   試也沒用
That school is a motherfuckin waste of time                         學校是他媽的浪費時間
Slang yay, die young, maybe get rich rhymin                      俚語萬歲   早夭  也許再來點漂亮的押韻
And prison if you black is just a part of life                         還有坐牢  如果你是黑人就免不了
And that all of America support the Pres'                           而所有美國人都支持總統
Religion is the way, and we all full of sin                           宗教是唯一的路  而我們都有一大堆罪
That it's better after death if we suffer and pray                 如果我們受苦又祈禱  死後會好過點
Even though they fuck us off in this life today                    即使他們在今日就要把我們搞死
And that white Jesus hangin on the wall in church              而白人基督掛在教堂的牆上
ain't a part of a lie to keep a brother subservient                  與令黑人卑屈的謊言無關
And that the whole world need the word "Amen"                而全世界都需要這個詞  "阿門"
Got troops overseas gettin murdered for free                      養海外部隊  免費被殺
If you buy that shit, I got a bridge to sell                            如果你吃這套  那誰都能耍你
Like I said I'm a rebel, so I must re-bel                              像我說的 我是個叛徒  所以我得反叛
And lies be the truth now, war is peace                              而謊言成真  戰爭是和平
Like corporations don't dictate the streets                           彷彿公司並沒支配著街頭
Like brothers don't die for the diamond or bling                  彷彿弟兄們沒為鑽石而死
Like brothers don't die over songs we sing                        彷彿弟兄沒為了我們唱的歌而死
Like patri-ots act like the Patriot Act                                彷彿愛國者橄欖球隊真的作愛國者的事
While we swing on this bitch 'til we break it in half           當我們幹著這個妞直到幹成兩半



[Chorus]


[Paris]
You guilty if arrested and niggaz are thugs                          你被捕是有罪  而黑鬼是暴徒
Only good for welfare, murder and drugs                         只會申請福利  只懂殺人跟嗑藥
The media is true, with no bias at all                                媒體是真的  沒有任何偏差
And Fox News ain't on the President's balls                     而福斯新聞台不是掛在總統的鳥蛋上
That Lacey and O.J. and Kobe and Mike                           萊西   O.J. 辛普森   柯比和喬丹  
ain't bullshit and really do matter in life                             不是狗屁而是人生中最重要的事
That you shouldn't be insulted they give 'em the time         花時間看這些的你  不應該被侮辱
but never talk about all this corporate crime                      更別提公司的罪行
That they generatin news stay loose with facts                  那些他們製造不實新聞的事
Relate fake views that'll keep us attracted                         述說那些吸引我們注意的假觀點
like sheep so we don't think, never react                           像綿羊一樣  我們不思考  從不反抗
Never question authority, never suspect                            從不質疑權威  從來不懷疑
Never trip off of why what matters to us                          從不冷靜想想對我們重要的事
always seem unimportant, and never get love                  為何看起來永遠不重要  永遠得不到愛
Why it's never any money for the school support              為何從未贊助學校資金
But it's fallin out the sky for these corporate wars             商業戰卻打到天都要塌下來



[Chorus]


[Paris]
They never give real shit space to shine                              他們從不給真實的事有發光的空間
Just donkey-ass niggaz on assembly line                            只有生產線上的驢蛋黑鬼
Cookie cutter pop-slutter make music designed                  俗套的流行語讓音樂變得刻意
to pedal Coca-Cola, Motorola and Sprite                              配可口可樂 摩托羅拉和雪碧
No love for the Enemy with video play                                 電視節目裡對敵人沒有愛
But they give Flav a show to take the focus away                  但是他們讓Flav上台唱歌轉移焦點
from the realest group ever made, whaddya say                       有史以來最真實的團說的   你說呢?
when to them it's Eminem that's goin down as the greatest?      當他們說阿姆是最棒的團
When the plan is a shame like we makin a choice                     當計劃變成羞辱  彷彿是我們選擇的
Understand it's a scam who get handed a voice                          有人得以發言 我們知道這是騙局
And it's only a few and they decide in advance                           而這只是一部分  他們已預先決定
Like votin for the President and both of them fam                       投票給總統 他們兩人都獲利
All that "God bless America, and nobody else"                           那番"天佑美國,而非別國"的調調
But I can smell racism, however it's dealt                                但不管怎麼掩飾   我能嗅到種族主義 
Know the real shit never miss, see how it's felt                       知道真實的事而不被耍   懂得那感覺
All around the world, hear the people cryin for help                     聽得見全世界哭著呼救的人們



[Chorus]


[Outro: Paris]
A, coincidence ex-cons can't vote                                                偶然地  前科犯不能投票               
A, coincidence they can't get no work                                         偶然地  他們找不到工作
A, coincidence that they can't hold heat                                       偶然地  他們無法保暖
Now they know that they enemy don't look like me                  現在他們明白了  敵人不是我這種人
A, coincidence that we shit out of luck                                      偶然地  他們沒了運氣
The consequence of coincidences all add up                               偶然的巧合全都加在一起
When you never know the reason and you're set up to suffer      當你不知道為何被陷害
The offense is coincidence is never the cause                             有罪的是  偶然性從來就不是原因
